Owning rental property was once seen solely as an investor niche. While the market adjusts, and homeowners are being forced to hold on to their homes, it may be wise to consider finding a tenant, and holding on to the property for a year, or two.
When the housing market takes a turn, and homeownership becomes more expensive, or the mortgage standards tighten up, the rental market generally sees an increase. But note, being a landlord is a job. Often people believe they can purchase a property, find a tenant, sit back and collect rent. However, that is not often the case. Sometimes you will have a lot of tenant issues (timelyrent payment, property problems, etc.) or management issues that require your immediate attention.
