Currently rates on commercial are going up and not down with Fed rate decreases.  

When this happens, inflation-adjusted rents tend to decrease.

With hurricane season now over and the house would (hopefully) be sold well before the next one I am curious if anyone has any seen any change/decrease in sales with areas that have flooded recently?

I am seeing a decrease in nightly price and demand for these units.

My posting and commenting has decreased significantly in the last several months but after the LA fires, I'm participating more. 

And lastly, I search FunishedFinder listings nearby, find comparable properties, and track the listed rent for a few months (does it increase, decrease?).

I understood that rent prices are decreasing.

I look for cashflow to service the debt, repairs, cap ex, taxes, and insurance while the equity grows, my taxes are decreased, and rents are increased to make more cashflow. 

The cost per sf skyrockets as house size decreases. 

You can find higher ROI (on paper) here and probably in other cities…but the probability of actually collecting rent significantly decreases.
