Consider this is a seller's market in the rental arena, what with all the
foreclosures going on.

Have you considered straw?

With all of the foreclosures going on, one would think that would be the
case -- more and more tenants looking for places to rent. But many
landlords are finding the tenant market a little slow. tenants are
negotiating for lower rents and/or move-in incentives. That may be due to
more proeprties being available for rent since owners are having trouble
selling, plus those foreclosed homes get bought by investors who want to
rent them out. The trend now is to spend a little more to make the rental
places nicer to attract and keep tenants.
