By your criteria anyone who gets paid to provide a service is therefore a vulture

Many/most landlords are using interest only mortgages.

I must admit he is one of the few that would do that though.

One of our tenants had his contract come up for renewal. He explained that he couldn't afford to pay any more so we left his rent at the same amount for the next three years as he's a very good tenant.
We've also rented out another flat to a HB tenant without a credit check simply because he desperately needed a ground floor dwelling due to his brain injury and was getting kicked out of his last place.
