In the end, there wasn't enough fat left after purchase and rehab so we let it drop.

If you are talking many years, then that's easy - take your personal items and put them in storage (or bring them with you), and accept that the rest of the house is just walls and floors and as long as the tenant doesn't burn the house down or cut down all your landscaping, everything else was going to wear out anyway whether you or a tenant was there, and when you put your personal effects back in and repaint, it's just like home again.

Wages increase so significantly that it allows homes to not drop, stay as is or increase (fat chance).Clearly someone is going to win in this (potentially current homeowners and upper middle class), with losers being Millenials, Gen Z and others who do not own OR they are the winners and losers are anyone who bought the past 3 years.Either way, someone will win and someone is gonna lose.For me, I play offense and defense - I am consistently looking for deals but also if #1 happens, am I protected.
