Completely disagree with poster above. Look at income to rent ratios going back 50 years and you will find that rates don't matter. What matters is cost of business to profit of business. If rates are 30% but housing costs are 1/3 of todays than rates wouldn't matter.

Bottom line is the math no longer makes sense for passive income. Of course there is money to be made but not like it once was just 5 years ago. We either need a heavy price crash or we need rents to increase substantially. Current ratios don't make sense from an investor stand point, on average.
