    Whew! This has become more than a little circular! Anyway, I completely agree. Rents will soon cover mortgage payments (with maybe a little left over!)

    If you invest in areas where “very few own their own homes” then doesn’t that mean there is likely more competition between rental properties? Would that not serve to keep rent prices down? Sounds like it’s all swings and rounabouts to me.

    Just because very few people own their own homes in these areas, does not mean that there is an oversupply of rental properties. Just the opposite. There are too many people and good rental properties are scarce. Rental yields are high. As I said from the begining. Supply and demand dictate rental yields.
