RV6Flyer. I helped friends move over the weekend, from a soon to be REO to a rental. They said the rental market was brutal and the pressure is on. Examples include retracting a suggested rental amount and relisting it on Craigslist for higher due to very high demand.

Although I see the current economy in a slow steady state towards recovery, I don't see the normal economic signs for raising rents. However, I do see a number of people that have lost or losing their homes with a ton of cash in their pockets. This could easily drive up rental prices in the short term.

Now if the economy starts really rolling again, at the same time renters awash in cash are leaving the rental market, the short-term could become long term and the rental market could settle at these higher prices.

Very interesting times....

Calculated Risk. Sacto Data and Stats. We have 'pure' REOs at about 43%, relatively stable for about 2 years. Conventional and SSs making up the rest.

Very true. We just listed our home for rent and received a TON of inquiries within minutes of listng.

Alot of the inquiries came from people SS their homes and, as you said, with lots of cash. Some offered to pay us 6 months in advance rent. In the end, we rented to people who we thought would fit in with our neighbors (we're renting our permanent residence - not a rental property).
