Today's interest rates are more difficult to do deals but people also did deals at 6-8 or 10+ percent interest in the 90s and for decades prior.

For example, if the inflation rate is 5%, what costs $100 today will cost $155 in 10 years.

I got a call today about my newly listed property in Raleigh.

You might notice today, it's discontinued.

In Phoenix, I might call up a friend who invests in mixed-use properties south of Roosevelt Row, and that friend might know a local title rep who’s been working with out-of-state buyers who like to pull the trigger fast.

It's nothing in today's dollars.

Inspection report came through today. 

I spoke with them on the phone today, and it turns out I was off on the interest rate they originally quoted me—it was actually higher.The main issue, though, is that they told me the rate was locked, but then they raised it.

First things first, remember it's a marathon, and you are getting such a head start that, in the long term, you will be leading the pack no matter your pace!

Ultimately, it depends on your goals (low rates, fast turnaround, etc.).
