If your PM didn't drop the ball and did mail out an estimated disposition, you need to discuss the security deposit return process.

When will mortgage rates drop?

My total property management cost has dropped from 25% to about 10% per month, with $0 in extra "ghost" fees.This success has inspired me to consider starting a handyman/cleaning business in the Orlando area to help other Airbnb hosts like myself.

At the time I thought surely prices can’t drop much further.  

In an ideal case, I hope to do that when (or if) conventional mortgage rates drop from where they have been heading.

Looks to be a clear summer season April-Oct, then drops off in the winter a lot.

Plus if you aren't forcing appreciation, appreciation is generally slow.Buy assets that are making some money today, doesn't have to be a ton; when and if the I/R drops, then refi and likely cashflow significantly better as you will have a better payment with higher rents.

However I should buy soon because its a sellers market, regardless of all the price drops yea ok..

The inventory has dropped prices a bit, and the rental market is thriving.

Your options are A) look at pathways for getting you on the mortgage, B) live with the marginally higher rate and possibly refinance once you're income is more stable and/or if rates were to drop, or C) buy the rate down to whatever number you want.
