Sometimes rent go up and sometimes they go down.

[H. Jack Miller]

You as a real estate investors needs to model out and be prepared for both, don’t fall into the trap that most selling real estate agents tell you that you will have steady growth in rents. Make sure that when you do your proformas factor in some rent compression just to play it safe. Being a real life landlord is much different that what someone who is selling you the property says.

 

What have your real life experiences been like?
