This could be coupled with the a dramatic drop in the S&P 500 which would feel pretty awful.

Drop that empty hype, fellows.

If you're wondering if rates are too low, raise them a hair in advertising and see if your number of inquiries drop.

In the Houston and Katy markets, prioritize cash-flowing properties that can withstand current high interest rates, and plan to scale by reinvesting cash flow or refinancing when rates drop.

Even if I have to lower the rate by $200 to find the right tenant, I am still ahead of the game by a C-note by year's end.Just my 2 cents, I hope you have already found a tenant for your home by the time this post drops!  

I really want to have them sign a contract that I can drop in the scope, schedule and proposed fees to provide some protection for me.

Even if you make all of your payments on time there are times when something happens by accident or a collection pops-up and drops the credit scores. 

Alternatively, you would need to drop your rents by $500 or more to have the same impact on your cashflow and your value.

My credit dropped.

Luckily here, but the time I'm done renovation we will be heading into the spring market - so that should fair better for marketThe other tenant dropped a bomb on me and told me he bought a house.
