Interest rates are just one factor in the equation.You can offset high (er) interest rates by buying lower priced properties or fixers, or putting down more cash, or having a desperate seller do partial financing or buy down the rates...So if rates stay above 5% for the next 5 years I think 2 things happen: 1) More experienced/less timid investors have a huge advantage for a while, 2) eventually when everyone realizes this is the 'new normal' then things just go back to normal with slightly higher rates.But what do I know?

A few years ago, we purchased a 5 acre piece of land that already has a foundation and septic, hoping to eventually obtain a construction loan and build a home.

I am actually looking at potential house hacks in my area but I guess I’m kind of picky that if I did go that route I would eventually want it to be my family home in the future so I wouldn’t just pick any house to do that.

The problem is in California it seems very difficult to find a good deal where I could eventually cashflow.
