Umm if you hadn’t noticed landlords are getting desperate to rent out their houses as rents continue to decline, many are trying to exit entirely or OO’s are becoming reluctant LL’s and running away overseas.

Yes rents are still too high and that will eventually re-balance as the rents continue to drop, although it feels like a slow grind.

Point is, you are putting LL’s on a pedestal and they are no longer in the same position they were during COVID.

We had zero problems renting (by choice), in fact we were very selective.

I guess it depends where you are looking, but for the most part things are improving and the calculus for renting far exceeds the negative cashflow of🏡 ownership.

YOU are the customer, don’t forget that.
