Had to come out of retirement to do contract work in order to maintain lifestyle and investments. I don't see that ending soon. We are also talking about regaining what was lost as well, I take it. Since prior investments that were thriving stopped almost immediately. Who writes these questions?

I have rental properties. The rents had to be increased to cover for inflation.

Prices haven't dropped 20 percent. That is the only way they could have rebounded from the 3 year disaster we've experienced.

The inflation has pushed people into higher tax brackets. Everyone lost except the IRS.

The economy won't recover for at least twenty years.

In Moberly they are building houses but they are setting the rent 1000$ to 1200$ or more plus utilities. Last time I checked People can't afford that and people who are on a set budget needs affordable housing that they can live in not 500 to 800 a month when your are barely making it .

The question should be would you want affordable housing in your neighborhood?
