So many of our users have been able to make a living or significantly supplement their income by becoming real estate entrepreneurs, and now interest rates have made that harder and even put some in a squeeze.

We are looking for members to reply with how their Real Estate Investing Strategy has changed due to rising interest rates.

How have raising interest rates changed your investment strategy?

I'm stashing cash. Getting 5% on T bills and CD's is hard to pass up with the high cost of real estate, higher interest rates, rising insurance rates, rising maintenance and materials. Real estate is not worth the extra risk and headache for a few percentage points of ROI. In my market I need housing prices to decline and rents to increase. I'm always looking for deals but they just aren't there.
