As a investor, are you still buying?

[Lina Chen]

With the current interest rates on investment properties, and the house price, are you still buying as an investor? If So what is your take or thoughts behind it? I'm in Dallas area and I would be lucky to get a property that has positive cash flow after taking into consideration all expenses, mortgage payments and vacancy factors. I was considering investment SFR under 300K without lots of TLC.But the numbers are not promising. I'm afraid to get a house at this price and later on more rentals hit the market, and rents will be lower. Is there any other ways to make it work besides buying a run-down house and fix it up? Any advice will be appreciated. Thank you for your time.
