Property prices have gone out the window.

20 years ago, bought a small bungalow house on a pretty 2 acres for ~$50K, property taxes about $1K /year, good schools. A great rental investment.

Today

That house is now ~$450K, property taxes ~$8,000 / year and the school is overrun with troubles.
Owners can’t get a reliable tenant to cover the carry costs and doesn’t want to live in it.

Glad I got out when I did.

This will be a huge story as we move through the decade.

Where did all the renters go?

Answer: They don’t exist, there is a low supply of renters, unless you believe all the migrant and illegal migrant hype.

Numerous homes in my area have been off the market for 10-15 years, just sitting there vacant.
