Except: corporate landlords SHOULD be banned. And PE should be, too.

How do you define that? Plenty of small landlords are "corporate".

Any sane one is. Your accountant will make you become a corporation if you are not. It is really cheap to become a corporation and there are too many financial and legal advantages to corporations to not be one (see a lawyer for details - there are many different incorporation options with different pros/cons)
