Pic related, I lent on this house post-flip:My first words in this post were "excluding flippers," because you 100% can hypothesize that the flipper "drove up" the values of that house and that neighborhood.... however the neighbors (20 houses to the right and left on both sides of the street - 80 homeowners) should be sending "thank you" cards to the flipper, they all probably picked up at least 10% in terms of home value thanks to that flipper removing this chop shop blight from the neighborhood.

Further, though I don't recall reading this in my textbook on labor economics, I expect a reduction in people's living expenses by removing the necessity of rental payments(by passing an eviction moratorium, for example) would have a similar impact, but I'm just hypothesizing here.

That, in turn, will give you an indication of if/how real estate might be affected.I'll let everyone else hypothesize about whether specific political events will impact the broader economy, but don't fall into the trap of thinking that real estate is typically directly affected in a vacuum or that real estate is a leading indicator of any broader economic shifts.  

Trying to hypothesize if I had a hidden agenda clearly shows you know nothing about me...which @Jay Hinrichs, you should know at this point as you have commented on my previous posts over the years. 

In other words, I hypothesize that you have negative leverage on this investment, and thus will slowly lose money over time unless you get large rent increases or huge appreciation gains, or can cut operating expenses.Rent increases: I don't think you'll get large rent increases because folks that can afford that larger rent and want Madison City schools will actually just go and live in a nicer house in Madison.
