If the next generation prefers to pay high rents for conveniences, then we may never see the Real Estate Market Rebound as anticipated, but the Long-term hold market may perform like never before (Cheaper than we are used to homes providing great Rent.)

I know it has been one of the slowest markets to rebound after the real estate crash.  

If rents drop 5-10% (or more, god forbid) are you going to be able to hold onto the property comfortably for 2-3 years while waiting for it to rebound?

Well it depends...If Detroit rebounds, you get more people living in the tri-county area/SE Michigan.  

The cruise industry will rebound and they’ll make a fortune.

Denver made the list of 10 cities best positioned to rebound in a report put out by Moody's Analytics.

And by 10 times, the index has rebounded to a new record .

@David S. and @Dustin Beam thanks for clarifying the formula - started to run those numbers but they don't look great when you own a property outright@Michael Noto yeah, we bought at a good time - found a gem of a neighborhood right before the values started to rebound 

Especially if I'm right in assuming that would help stimulate the market's rebound... return confidence to those who can buy but aren't for fear we aren't at the bottom, that they couldn't resell if they had to in 3 or 5 years... allow those who want to move but can't to be able to, to go where jobs are, to go from "under employed" to fully employed... to convince investors who still aren't sure about real estate to chase the market and poor more money into it...

STR's are on the rebound now in many areas.
