I think the short term effect on rents is virtually zero - illegal immigrants usually live multiple numbers to a home, rather than everyone having their own space like Americans - but longer term there may be some softness at the bottom levels of rentals. i would be more concerned about the lower economic job market than I would be about rental housing.

Most (virtually all) are giving values below the main ppsf. 

And it also feels like I invested in a virtual company where there is nothing solid. 

The most recent job fair featured over 20,000 open positions.In ConclusionWhile nothing is guaranteed, the combination of population growth and limited land for expansion virtually assures that prices and rents will continue to increase.Thanks for reading my post.

John - I've recently added "virtual staging" to my rental photos.

It is a number that virtually anyone would find to be reasonable (I believe it is 6 small holes per wall). 

Also, consider joining local real estate investment groups in the Ashtabula area - even if you attend virtually.

If you stage, consider a virtual stage.  

Virtually everyone has used an electric range or oven in their life but lots of people have no experience at all with gas anything. 

Plus virtually every city of note has a REIA with monthly meetings and other meetups.
