The ability to purchase a 2nd property is much more common than you may think.
Rent to whom? Rental vacancies are already on the way up. Only gonna get worse.

And a person that lost their job, can't afford to sell their house for a loss (means little equity to lose from) is going to rent the place out (little equity=negative cash-flow) and then is going to get a mortgage from a bank to get a second place?With no job?

And some of those private insurers are scrutinizing buyers more too so getting anywhere without a job would be a short trip.
