My question is should I just suck it up until April, or should I drop my rent rates now to get renters.

There are a lot of options out there, but the rates are excruciating right now for new flippers.

Currently looking to buy more but these rates don't make it easier!

Alternatively you can do the LOC (line of credit) on it so you can retain the home but are definitely subject to today's current rate environment.

It earns more risk-free in money markets than your mortgage rate probably. 

I suspect that will be the rate in the auction coming up in May.

non owner occupied may get taxed at a higher rate than owner occupied.

Here's the latest market report (based on single family homes):🏡 Mortgage Rates:30-year conventional rate today is 6.72%30-year VA rate today is 6.15%——————————————————————————————————💰 Median Sales Price:Sept: $490,000Oct: $485,000Nov: $484,995——————————————————————————————————📈 New Listings:Sept: 1,910Oct: 1,959Nov: 1,481——————————————————————————————————📅 Median Days on Market Until Sale:Sept: 20Oct: 22Nov: 24——————————————————————————————————📦 Months Supply of Inventory:Sept: 3.3Oct: 3.3Nov: 3.0🤔 What does "Months Supply of Inventory" mean?

I know there are things I need to do to analyze if the deal is a good one, like rental rates, Status of the house/infrastructure, amenities in the area but what else should I be thinking of?
