I am unconvinced that the new administration will meaningfully address the deficit and US credit will continue to erode gradually, contributing to rising rates.

US treasury rates increased ~80 basis points since the beginning of October as polling results started coming in and the increase continued post-election in expectation of high government deficits and sustained inflation (due to tariffs and otherwise). 

In my experience, something like that might cause the home to sit on the rental market longer to find a tenant that is ok with overlooking that deficit. 

It can't be too strong cash flow if replacing some appliances put you into negative cash flow (I assume you meant deficit, and truly didn't mean defecate).
