> Do you really think the landlord in a dwindling town is profitable? As the town dwindles costs rise, and at the same time what incentive is there for the renters to pay more? It is not like there is a lineup behind them champing at the bit to rent the place when they leave. Oh and one additional thought. To think of it differently, do you really think a landlord in a dwindling town would lose money month after month, year after year? Any sane landlord will be looking to cut the losses asap.
