re: The big elephant in the room no one is talking about is eviction moratoriums

My guess is that rates may initially be lower but that landlords will be choosy as hell about who they offer to coming off this mess.

If you have to put money into renovating an apartment or house which had just been rented to a deadbeat for a year, you may take a loss on the money but you want to ensure you get someone who you feel confident will pay.
