CPI is based on "rent equivalent" and not actual rents

oh oh, rising rents = bad for cpi! No win situation for overpriced homes in bubble markets unless goldilocks situation lasts forever.

condo flipper glut could produce a flood of rentals. i saw this post on another forum about a condominium complex near my home. most are trying to sell for 500 to 600K. prudentbear.com i then checked the realtor web site for rentals in that complex. the rental listings range from $ 1200 to $ 1700 per month. how does one make a profit on a unit that costs $ 500,000, where the real estate taxes are $ 300 to 400 per month and the condo maintenance fees are another $ 300, when you can only expect rental income of $ 1200?
