Market rents will (continue to) decrease as:- National wages decrease due to unemployment and potential deflation;- Banks start selling off commercial assets sitting on their balance sheets for far less than market value, allowing the new owners to decrease rents but maintain strong cashflow;- Investors continue buying very cheap REO properties, and are willing to rent them below market just to make their mortgage payments while waiting for the market to turn around.There will be less demand for higher-end rentals, as those renters will (continue to) flock to the foreclosure discounts.The winners will be those who buy property during the depression, rent it well below market but maintain cash flow, and then find huge equity when the economy rebounds...that's my plan at least
