Cash on Cash Expectations
I invest in the Northern Kentucky market, across the river from Cincinnati. It is next to impossible to find decent properties that cash flow for an 8% coc. Should I settle for less in order to get my cash out of the bank and into a property before rates go up, even if it is only at a 3% coc? Or wait for a dip? Some guidance here would be appreciated from investors with more experience than I have.

I would not recommend bending your investment strategy to the market.
8% CoC with 75% leverage is a reasonable metric. You don't need to go below that and frankly, I wouldn't recommend it unless you have adequate reserves and income to withstand property issues and market cycles.
