I feel like I keep watching videos but don’t take action@Venecia Baez Maybe you don't want it bad enough.

Quote from @JD Martin: I can't speak to rates - I think eventually they come down out of sheer necessity - but as far as the economy we must be living in an insulated bubble up here in Northeast Tennessee; no one has bothered telling us the economy is bad.

Are there specific reasons you don't want to rent them out (e.g. bad previous experience with a tenant)? 

Good/bad ?

We would need to go into a very deep, very bad recession that is housing related for that to happen however so I would not hope for that. 

one infill house I did in Charleston we made 600k net on that one in 13 months.. so not bad. 

Unless your Warren from Omaha you have zero control over how good or bad those companies are run.

I am really inspired by people who a take something that 95% of other investors would pass on and make it work exclusively for them through sheer will and creativity even with bad market conditions. 

My opinion only 2 cases make sense for the seller 1) they have few options and this presents the best means to get out if a bad situation.  

Best estimate is bad tenants are out near year's end.
