That is just my two cents but I'd start there and understand your area from there and look at historical trends. 

The area just got a massive grant to build a ship/fishing port (estimated to bring 700 jobs here over the next year), there is a train station getting built within walking distance of the property, and the area has been on an upward trend for multiple years now.

With what is happening in the housing markets apartment rents show a similar trend as average rents in the nation increase each month with room for further growth.

The ultimate argument here is the current rates are still not high... comparing to historical trends in the past.  

What are your current analysis numbers looking like as interest rates go up is everybody still in 70% ARV or are we trending higher in the 80-90. 

Every quarter I have been keeping track of the residential market trends, and I compile them into a market report for my clients and friends. 

Hello all, I've been an avid watcher of BP for years now and I've decided to get more involved.Anywho as I ponder on the current macro trends of our economy I have been thinking if the looming threat of recession could be the final straw that will break the preverbial camels back to real estate prices.I have heard that the covid shut down really stretched those doing the STR model and wonder if high gas prices + inflation + recession would bring another dry spell in vacancies.

Now the market situation is completely different interest rates are increased, and the rental market is on a down trend.

Though you can certainly look at nationwide stats like median home price, sales volume, or the number of homes on the market, the truth is real estate is local.Every city, county, and state has its own unique marketplace, with its own unique buyers, sellers, and trends.
