A new survey of renters verifies someting I have been saying for some time now. This is a great time to be a landlord!! Rental occupancy rates are the highest they have been since they began keeping record back in 1965. Also 67% of renters say they will not make a move to buy a home for at least the next 12 months. Renters fear falling home prices so plan to stay put for now. With the number of bargain properties now on the market, it should be a great time for investors to increase their holdings and maybe for some first time investors to take the plunge! Low prices, low interest rates, high occupancy rates and a product that is sure to appreciate. It doesn't get any better than this for landlord/investors. Still terrible for "flippers".
