How are people maintaining investment properties?

Based on how much I am paying in rent now, its $2400/month, but to take a mortgage out on this place and buy it, it would be like a $6500/month mortgage.

This place is also a new build so it was purchased recently, so the numbers aren't adding up.

Is the owner really taking $2000 - $4000/month loss on this, while getting some kind of tax break on his main source of income or something? If so, that still seems like a shitty deal, he'd be better off just buying Bitcoin or Stocks, no?
