>> I'm talking about regular folks that chose the rental market as more risk-adverse investors and maybe put all their savings into a single property that they fixed up and are maintaining themselves.

I think more risk-averse people would avoid a single property as their entire investment portfolio.

Everyone says "diversify" your investments. if you are more-risk averse, you should not be putting all your money into 1 bet or 1 property.
