> Do you think those rental units disappear off the market?

There have been reports on this which observed the properties being removed from the housing market, so yes.

Its supposedly not worth the risk/effort to find renters which could potentially wreak your property, never pay and need to be evicted.

That makes it more cost -effective to just hold onto the property while paying someone to occasionally check up on it until it's resold for profit




Vacancy rates are historically low. It's entirely possible that some units are left empty by investors, but that's not the general trend.

It makes a lot of money, there are companies managing them, the owners don't have to.
