Crash/Downturn... Crash/Downturn... But what if you're holding?

[David Mathews]

Ok it's all the buzz that we may be looking at a market correction. Some say crash. Some say downturn. Some say recession. 

As a buy and hold investor with mostly single family with a few small multifamily, no matter what term you call it, shouldn't the current political/economical environment be a recipe for more demand for rentals? My take is that as the interest rates climb and the real estate market cools due to lack of buying power wouldn't that create more tenants who are in limbo waiting to buy a home?  So why am I reading about and personally experiencing less traction with listings than say.... 6 months ago for the same type of listing?
