Strictly my opinion ...No, we're not in or approaching a "bubble".We ARE, however, in a housing shortage.This was predicted just after the crash of '07 / '08 when some 80% of builders and developers went under.

Redfin just came out with their real estate predictions for 2022.

It is generally considered a great investment option because of predictable cash flow.

Then you can adjust your debts as necessary to qualify.OPINION: interests rate are predicted to rise with inflation in 2022.

Mostly due to getting slammed by more capex items, vacancy, turnover costs than I predicted.

That said rents have come up significantly and some of the rent prediction sites haven't really kept up.

Again, keep in mind the exit cap rate is a projection of what the asset expects to sell in 5 years (or whatever the hold period is) and nobody can predict the future.Solution: Ask the sponsor how they concluded their exit cap rate and where they are getting their data from.

My goal is to purchase my first investment property in the next 1-2 years, which is when I predict I'll have the cash to do so.Anyways, I'm looking for someone that has experience in house flipping that would like to engage in a few mentoring sessions.

I say "guaranteed" because we're really good at estimating our real cash flow, but not so good at predicting appreciation.  

Of course nobody can predict interest rates and I know if rates stay low ill be better off with my current loan, and if rates blow up I'd be better off to refi now.
