I’ve noticed many RE investor clubs that have been touting the “buy and rent” scenario as the road to riches. I’ve seen them being very active in the $300K and under sector. This is creating many rentals out of the low end foreclosure market inventory. This may start to make a glut of rentals on the market.
I dont think this is the right time for this strategy as the recession is just getting up to speed. We shall see. I have a feeling these may be the next wave of foreslosures should the cash flow go negative on these homes for too long.
