Rents stayed the same through the recession in Great Falls.

.* There are other definitely important factors to consider when analyzing the real estate market here especially the occupancy drop in Q2 & Q3 2022, for example, USD - EUR exchange rate, Europe opening up with record occupancy, sargassum, recession, flight prices increase, remote workers and most kids back to school, etc. * It's important to consider all types of rentals when analyzing the market, there is a high demand for longer terms and more units are being taken out of Airbnb for LTR, especially the smaller studios & 1BDS.* That being said, I do agree that there are some units that are not renting as well as they used to.

A Brief Skeptics Take: Money Supply Flashing RedOne historically significant indicator of potential recessions, the rate of change in the supply of money whirling around tin the economy, or M2, is officially flashing red (see M2 explanation here).

I think we can say with a decently high level of confidence that those properties will continue to go up in value and that their rents will also continue to increase over the long term (not saying we won't see recessions and dips here and there).

They also diversify into numerous recession resistant asset classes, and across the country, to again reduce the risk of any single class or area of the country having problems.There are also a ton of DSTs that also offer triple net leases, but if you look behind the scenes at all the fees, they are almost always pretty outrageous (and in my opinion, only justifiable if you are doing a 1031 exchange, and the tax savings offset the fees better).

@Dave FosterDave, this may be a stupid question…I refinanced the loan of the sold property during the recession and paid it down 50K.
