We're likely in decent shape the next year or so, but in my mind, inflation will be key to watch. higher inflation will mean higher rates- may be good for property values if the overall economy stays strong, but inflation will likely raise interest rates. 

@Breeya Johnson the entire market currently is in a cooling cycle with price declines and inflated expenses like property taxes and insurance.

Your current numbers make no sense (600K property at 70% is 180K down and 420K financed, but four 300K properties at 95% is 60K down and 1.14M financed).The odds of finding someone to loan 95% on four investment properties is extremely slim.

Currency pegged $2BZD to $1USD (low inflation issues), Official language is English since it was a British Commonwealth, Property rights and laws are basically the same as the US since English based, 2nd/3rd world thus still Rough which I like (has flavor), 2 hour flight from Houston/Dallas connections, land is relatively inexpensive.

Wednesday’s November CPI report gave us a peek at inflation, and it’s not terrible. Headline inflation ticked up from 2.6% to 2.7%, while core inflation—the one that ignores things like your weekly gas price mood swin...

Does everyone else find it odd that @Dutch Mendenhall has been an active participant on this site for years and he goes silent while @Brent Mendenhall picks up the pieces?
