Most of these suffered huge hits to their cash flow which results in their desire to exit even at higher cap rates.  

Since Indiana property taxes are collected in arrears, you already owe for a full year's increase BEFORE you see the increase and can inform your tenants.If my cash flow position was strong enough to suffer a tenant possibly leaving, I'd pass on the full increase ASAP.

Well, actually they have overdone it and will suffer the consequences for the next 20 years, but it worked regardless.Secondly, even if we get into a recession, outside of the evening news that has zero implications for 95% of the population.

When I loan privately as a private lender, I have complete risk of my capital, I make all decisions and I suffer the consequences or rewards of my actions!

@Carlos PtriawanThe best part of being an investor is that investors get to make decisions where they place their capital AND then benefit or suffer from the consequences of those decisions.I can say NO ONE has ever become wealthy investing in CDs.I can say MANY folks have become wealthy investing in real estate.I can’t predict what the future will hold but the long term trend (unequivocally) is the price of real estate both sale and rent increases over time.I’ll keep my capital in real estate not CDs.
