I am suspending raising rent until the current economic situation has reversed course.Some folks will leave if you raise rent on them, I do want to add an unknown risk i.e. new renter into my formula.My S.F.H homes are paid off but one with economic activity strangled it takes no crystal ball to see what is going to happen.I have a pre payer getting ready to renew I was going to bump up that number up I will now stay at last year’s level.

This is what will cause stock for owner-occupied to increase and therefore hurt new starts.Unless we see hyperinflation where prices increase and wages do too, we will probably see rents flatten or even decrease as demand goes down.No money means no demand - don't need to be a Pulitzer winner or possess a crystal ball to see that coming.So the answer will be the hustle.

@Crystal Smith thank you for the response.

Of course, no one has a crystal ball or an accurate one at least. 

Noone has a crystal ball.

Quote from @Crystal Smith: Quote from @Scott Ball: We are property investors from Australia - we can't qualify for a loan since we have no credit history, so the 1st property will be all cash. 

Obviously none of us have a crystal ball but for what it's worth, here is my 2 cents. 

Because you might note from your glass palace, I reside in a concrete dome, a rock throwing contest may not fair the result you think.
