Rental prospects do not understand why rental rates are RISING!

 

"Younger Americans have seen what home ownership has done to their friends and families, and many want no part of it. Credit has become very nearly elitist. Home prices, whatever your particular data provider preference might be, are still falling."

This is amazing Wallace and I believe rentals will rise even higher as the demand gets greater.

Wallace, 

It's going to be busy in the executive leasing market here for us for years to come, if not for the next decade.  

It is a fabulous opportunity for investors, as lease prices are holding strong and suspected to rise. 

All the best, Michelle

I suspect this # does NOT include the hundreds of thousands of homes slated for demolition

There may be a line drawn soon. If interest rates rise, so will rental rates. Can't have milk without the cow
