I have heard good things about Ohio, Indiana, etc.5 - Due to high interest rates flipping has become highly risky and most businesses have dried up.6 - Co-living and Assisted living seems to be popular right now.So - really depends on your market, your strategy, and your timeline.

It's definitely possible to get a loan as a foreigner but the rates will be high(er) and the downpayment required will be as well.

We refinanced and cashed out all our renovation budget plus $5,000 and actually kept monthly payment the same as rates had dropped.

what happened to me is all the good rate bonds are snatched up before we could get them.

Default rate - as you scale you will have a 10% default rate on loans.

Working to figure out which route has the best conversion rates when targeting specific neighborhoods.

I’m almost 21 and still in school but I’m interested in real estate because I’ve heard of what it’s been able to do for people.

Quote from @Sean Kirk: I'm seeing what seems to be 10%+ cap rates on roofstock.

* Does it significantly affect rental demand, vacancy rates, or rents?

I'd wait this one out until rates lower and you can refi and learn from it to buy better the next time around.
