The 2026 Rental Market Is Punishing Weak Underwriting

Frankie Vozzi
Posted

I’m seeing more rental deals struggle lately because investors got too optimistic on:

  • rents
  • expenses
  • vacancy assumptions
  • refinance expectations

The rentals performing best right now usually have:

  • conservative debt
  • strong DSCR
  • enough cash reserves

Cash flow is finally mattering again.

Are you underwriting rentals differently this year?
