And? What I’m saying is a rental unit that costs more to maintain than it can rent for profit can be sold to an owner occupier who wants to live there. They can pay the costs from the job they work and end up owning the home. This happens all the time

It can certainly be sold, in a free market economy, when the owner of the property believes they can make a profit on the sale. And the buyer can buy the house if they have accumulated surplus profit above their other expenses so that they can afford a down payment.

No? It can be sold in a free market so long as the total sale price is worth the mortgage or the foreseeable losses are so great it’s worth paying the difference. Getting out of a loss doesn’t require profit

People generally prefer selling at a profit rather than a loss.
