This combined with the buyers market will mean sellers will be more open to creative deals and owner financing.I suspect rent rates will stagnate near the mid to top of the market but due to demand, low income rates will continue to go up.I suspect demand for low income rental units will skyrocket as the economy slows or stalls.For me, this plays into my low income model because all of this will create higher demand for low income housing and allow me to bargain shop for value add mobile home parks to buy cheap and with cheap owner financing.But, I'm not an economist and this is just my 2 cents.
