Should I Be Worried About Interest Rates?
I’m a first time real estate investor that is about to sign off on a duplex for lease. As we all know, interest rates have been very high these past years (7.5%-7.7%), and there are rumors that the FED are looking to cut the interest rates in 2024. Should I wait for the interest rates to drop before I buy my first real estate property? Or should I buy it now, because I know a lot of real estate investors always saying that their biggest regret was not starting sooner.

You can't trade Time with interest rate. If the deal is right, go ahead. If interest rate goes down, price will go up, more demand.
