Apartment Ownership During a Recession?

[Larswin Mendoza]

These questions are aimed at members here who survived as landlords during the most recent Meltdown post-2008. I'm primarily interested in SoCal anecdotes as mine is in San Diego, but would be grateful for ANY shared experience, regardless of location.

What happened to your occupancy rate?

Did your rent rates increase due to higher demand or did they decrease along with all other prices at the time?

Did you have to make any concessions?

Thanks in advance.
