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.

If you are an investor, you are always buying, but only good deals. The market heat is irrelevant to investors who constantly network and market because there are always hidden gems that others can't find. In hot markets, I always am looking to find the next up-and-coming one instead of focusing in the middle of the heat. What area is two towns away, but starting to adjust? That's where you can find something.
