I think it's a multitude of things, sometimes people still really don't know that the top ones are ads, some don't care, some are just lazy.

I had a crappy management company that was lazy A.

Good Afternoon, we have homes down here in Coweta for the price range you are looking to be at and rental rates are right on in the area.

Personally, I think it's more due to risk aversion and laziness on behalf of the landlords.

Also lazy landlords have put awful tenants in rental properties and sometimes do not do proper maintenance on their houses.

Would your phone be ready for an afternoon on the road (right now, at this moment)?

Chase,Good afternoon. 

While I don't know the short-term correlation, long-term rising inflation should certainly have this positive impact on rents.The Fed just released it's minutes this afternoon on its last interest rate decision and in it they mentioned they would be allowing inflation to go above the usual 2% target. 

The good appraisers will, but the lazy ones may not.

Many times I’ve burnt tenants belongings in my backyard in a giant bon  fire because they are too lazy to gather their crap .
