OP when we first inquired about investment properties in 2004, sales reps encouraged renting. Plus gave you companies to work with, if you didn’t want to handle on your own.

At the time TV didn’t have LSV sections, using owners who were in the rental pool. At least that’s the homes we were offered for visits.

I would say your numbers are definitely lower than when we came early 2000s. So maybe gloom and doom you are posting is actually less rentals than in previous years.

My family rented while building, in 2000- 2002, choice of over 700 designers, more smaller homes but they needed larger accommodations. That wasn’t counting those homes that were already rented
