Max rents during even during the most volatile time of covid (May 2020) and really good tenants who have all renewed leases.

The florida market has historically been very volatile and I think the key as always is buying right. 

How do I explaint it in plain English.Here's the basis data.Average MBS Spread between 2001-2023 is 90bps2008 MBS Spread is 175 bps2023 MBS Spread is 135 bpsThe higher the MBS Spread reflect the volatility of CRE(and SF) of real estate market ; but at  same time, those volatility would be normalized from average 20 years prior history.Having said that, there're lot of way to exploit this, for example: buy a crashing property, buy mortgage REIT, but MBS funds, buy MBB, bRRR highly priced home, goes to syndication that purchase MF with 30% discount....lot of method but the basic idea is , 2023 is the limited edition of 2008, and investing in 2009-2012 is the wet dream of real estate invstors LOL
