The 2026 Rental Market Is Punishing Weak Underwriting
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?
