One would think with the current foreclosure rate and increasing mortgage rates, rentals would be a hot item with rents on the increase. I have two rentals that just became vacant, and for the first time in their lives (6 years +) neither are re-rented. It pains me to think that I may have to reduce rents to get them occupied, but my wife commented that the current fuel prices along with other increases across the board may be causing people to look at spending less for housing and thats why these houses are sitting. I'm beginning to think she's correct, all the while hoping she's wrong. Now a reduction of $50 a month is only one months rent (in total) each year.........not that bad, but rent should be going up with urgency not down!
For those getting into rentals, be careful, you may need to develop your plan around lower numbers to be safe, and hope they don't end up being a real number.
Anyone else seeing this problem?
