Mike Harrison breaks down what leading real estate operators across the country are signaling for 2026 and translates those insights into practical guidance for rental property investors. After a difficult stretch from 2022 through 2025 marked by inflation, rising insurance and taxes, softening rents, and multifamily oversupply, he explains that market conditions are finally shifting—but not in a way that rewards shortcuts. The key takeaway is that 2026 is not a “comeback year,” but a “get it right” year defined by discipline, conservative underwriting, and operational excellence.
