What is the impact to rentals in a stock market crash?

[Wilson Zu]

Hi everyone,

In the scenario of a stock market crash, or major correction (maybe just stagnation), what are your thoughts on the impact on long term rentals? I see different opinions in google searches.

1. What is the impact to the demand in rentals? Increase in demand due to potential foreclosures?

2. How about on rent pricing? If inflation spikes, then i’d think the rent would also increase. But in a stagnant economy, renters may not afford increase

3. Real estate value. This may be a temporary concern only if the plan to keep the rental long terms Wonder how much of the value will drop. If there inflation, the price will try to catch up I think.

Thoughts?

Thanks. Wilson
