I know with rising home prices and new builds in the suburbs competition has been fierce both buying and renting.For me, I have seen a pretty flat trajectory in my rentals if not a small dip, but I am usually at the top end of the rent spectrum because I usually do a renovation and it is basically  brand new.The rentals I have had an increase on have only been 25-50 dollars per month, approx 2-5%.

That has been a terrific trajectory over many years, until I switched over the short term rentals, which are a nicer quality and therefore more expensive type of house.I don't prefer collegiate cities as a personal preference. 

As I have observed and experienced, it's the underlying politics and economics of this city that make the current positioning and future trajectory of Indianapolis so strongIndianapolis is showing 40% better GDP over the last decade; remarkably low unemployment; surge in tech; and our median household income (+21%) is improving at nearly double national average rate (+12%).There has been $15B come into this city over the last five years.

Also, there are plenty of people speculating on the upward trajectory of the Austin market who don't care much about cash flow so long as the property doesn't hemorrhage cash.

I agree with a lot of folks on this thread, I'm bearish on the housing market continuing this trajectory.

Also, an interesting aspect to this is the the phoenix metro seems to be still doing well; I had thought (could be wrong) that LV and PHX followed very similar downward trajectory last time?

That’s what really changed my trajectory.

It's just hard to tell if we are headed for a dramatic downward trajectory or a much more modest correction.

Utilizing an existing foundation can at minimum place on the proper trajectory to excel.
