I wanted to get started in investing in multifamily real estate in 2022 to take advantage of low interest rates and rising rents.

Closing on another Walgreens 11.75 cap rate in DecemberAnother corp day care under agreement almost 11 capAnother Walgreens currently negotiating in 10's for cap rate with 80k cars per day corner.Have offers out on others also.

They are offering below-market interest rates, which is awesome. 

If it is a market rate class A, B or even C properties, I would say that it (basic maintenance) is something the tenant should handle considering that for these properties the tenants likely have additional resources to handle small maintenance issues. 

He's very thorough with this standard inspections and he also offers "investor due diligence" inspections at a reduced rate.

Recently, I was debating whether to lock in the mortgage rate for a single-family home we're purchasing in December, especially with rates spiking recently, or wait until after the next Fed meeting and election to be finalized.

Another trick is know how to run vacancy rate by area.

The other catch is the high interest rates today and doing a refi will be expensive.

Because it is mostly cosmetic, the cost to remodel isn't horrible but you can still get the properties at a discounted rate.

(If they are an adult you should have already done a background check on them.) you could also renew them at the higher rate on a MTM term in case the payment issues continue.
