And anecdotally, my lifetime of experience so far does not support that conclusion at all.
I'm an outlier; I understand that most rentals in the US are not owned by individuals, but instead by [large-ish] corporations. I understand that it is impossible for my experience to be broadly shared.
- raw_anon_1111 11mo agoI was the under capitalized landlord with $500K worth of mortgages between my house and two rental properties in 2008 before the financial crisis and making only $70K a year. As were most real estate investors back then. And the reason I ended up back in an apartment for four years from 2012-2016. And during those years I was fortunately in my mid to late 30s and could afford to stay in nice apartments in an upper income suburb of metro Atlanta.
