Is there any cash flow with these interest rtes?

[Richard Antcliff]

I can't get the numbers to work out with the current interest rates to use other peoples money for a real estate investment.  Do we just sit back til rates go back down?

Hi @Richard Antcliff,

I second @Dominic Pizzi's take here: rates are only one piece of the puzzle, and there are definitely workarounds you can consider.

To parrot @John Morgan, one way to compensate for high interest rates is by buying in markets that spot low rent-to-price ratios.

More generally, there are deals to be found regardless of prevailing interest rates—you just have to know where to look. And based on what I’m seeing, deals in Alabama and beyond are still penciling out because rentals are affordably priced, the state’s property tax burden is extremely low, and gross rents are fairly high.
