Interest rates atm seem quite high so will ride this out a bit longer (and ratios will continue to improve over time.) 

That’s half the cost of Prime’s reduced rate.2nd, like everyone is saying, the cost of setting up and LLC is less than $100… closer to $50… if you just do it yourself through the state (not complicated).3rd, if you want someone to help you draft your operating agreement, hire a local real estate attorney and it will be significantly cheaper than $1660… probably cheaper than $550.4th, if you want someone to do your taxes and help you get your max deductions - talk to a CPA who specializes in real estate and they can review your operating agreement to see if you’re setting yourself up properly, and they can do your regular taxes… and be cheaper than Prime. 5th, a separate CPA can work with you regularly to review your investments and strategies to determine good tax strategies as you look to execute any deals. 6th - don’t lock yourself into a crazy subscription model before you start making money!!!

The Fed raised rates and dropped the values of those T-Bills.

In addition, all Rent payments hereunder not made within five (5) days of the due date shall bear interest at the rate of one and one-half percent (1-1/2%) per month"The monthly rent is $1550 so the late fee is easy - I've set the account to charge 5% if the rent isn't received within the 10 days stated ($77.50).

You will pay for the higher risk with higher rates and origination fees but if the deal makes sense then congrats.

The advantage, is that the buyer can wind up with a lower interest rate and instead of a 30 year loan, they have only the remaining number of years the original borrower hasn't yet paid down.3.

Once you start stacking more and more property loans into your personal name, it can bleed into your personal credit worthiness.This bit me in the butt when I wanted to refinance my own house when rates were in the 2% range.  

That will be a determining factor for where it makes sense for you to purchase.Regarding waiting - bear in mind a lot of people were predicting rates in 2024 would be in 5% range or low 6s, which didn't turn out to be the case.

There are many investors that look at promises ROI or interest rate and nothing more.  

Success rate.
