would get caught into escalating property taxes (as well as constantly increasing insurance premiums too), and thus have to rely more and more on reverse mortgages to keep up. A dangerous trend.

UPDATE: On YouTube, I heard that landlords/property owners are facing a disaster as they continue to fail in selling their properties, and then decide to rent out their properties that failed to sell, or AIRBNB their properties.

Apparently now there is a huge glut of properties w/ no tenants. Ha ha heh...they helped to end a formerly good thing by overdoing it, flooding the rental markets w/ way too many rental properties. Rents (not in all parts of the Country yet, but getting there from what I hear) are dropping.

There are some good YOUTUBE videos out there detailing this info. If I happened to remember it, I'll jot down their names so I can pass along this information. Michael B below is the one reference I grabbed, but there are tons of other YOUTUBE videos that are pretty good. The overall trend is that the rental market is flooded w/ extra properties that failed to sell (higher interest rates). And the guy is pretty interesting, not too long in his videos.
