Wait for high interest rates to buy if you have private equity?

[Caleb Haynes]

Howdy all,

With interest rates so low and housing prices currently high for many reasons, i am considering on waiting for the interest rates to come up to about 5% to 8% to buy a home. I would do this because i have a connection to some private equity that would loan me at 2%. The thought would be that if everyone else going through a bank has to pay 5% and i have access to 2%:

1: i would have better margins than others with my rental properties and could in turn be more competative

2: the housing prices would come down because of higher interest rates, no?

OR should i just buy now at low interest rates through the bank and high housing prices?

I think there are a lot of variables in that plan that will need to align, and it may take many years or never happen. Why not find a good deal and still use your 2% debt?
