Personal choice right ?

Your only choice is to go the collections route.

It’s happening because, like you said, supply has surged faster than demand, and tenants suddenly have way more choices.

Wow great choices thank you

But what choice do you have?  

After phone screen and no-shows we usually end up with 12-15 in-person showings and we batch them over 2 days - a weekday night 6-7pm and a weekend day 1-2pm or so.Maybe it's less for Minneapolis, but if you are getting the silent treatment from the market you have two choices: cut asking rent or take it off the market and call some contractors.

Lots of opportunity.Oklahoma was a good choice and Texas was good except for property taxes and disasters. 

Three regions reported modest growth, five were flat, and four saw slight softening.Key takeaways:Consumer spending is slowing, especially among middle-income households.Businesses are facing tough choices: absorb rising costs or pass them to customers.Employment remains steady, but some firms are quietly cutting staff or slowing hiring.📊 Bottom line: Normally, the Fed would weigh this against detailed inflation and jobs data.

Unfortunately people who aren't financially stable or make poor choices will struggle more than those who are stable and make good choices regardless of market happenings.

Any landlord can accept Section 8 (Housing Choice Vouchers) — it’s simply a government program where the local housing authority pays a portion (or all) of a tenant’s rent directly to you.That means you can buy any investment property that meets your market and return criteria, pass the housing authority’s inspection, and rent it to a qualified Section 8 tenant.There’s nothing “exclusive” about that process.Bottom line: you don’t need an Acquisition company or anyone else to “get into” Section 8.
