This got me really excited because, assuming I win the case in October, I know have a property that could sell for an amount that would not only make me whole, but deliver a handsome profit, of course not nearly enough for all the stress and anguish I have been put through, but a good profit none the less.To be continued as usual . . . . . . . 

Pace of interest rate increase - If they are increasing gradually, as has been the case in the last three years, impacts on real estate prices will be muted at best.Bottom line, as long as we continue to see economic growth, an increase in interest rates may correspond to increased appreciation of real estate.

Case in point, it's to bridge the gap that myself and others have been trying to help and educate BP members over the topic for years now.

rates are higher but in your case in Atl you would have been able to double what you bought with the same cash and well now you would have 4 mil in property instead of 2 mil.. by simply pay a little over market rates for debt.

The good thing with Austin is at least the regulation is determined and there is a public information about it and the processes to pursue. https://www.austintexas.gov/strLike the regulation or hate it, at least there is clarity here and this isn't the case in many, many locations. 

In my experience most MH buyers pay cash, although that is not the case in Malibu or Huntington Beach where they can run as high as $250,000+  just because of the location.  

Maybe that's the case in Georgia as well.

but that's public record.. the major issue I see with this thread is folks investing but talking about how this is not working and that is not working and if that's the case in the last 3 years you need to ask yourself how come.. etc. etc.

For example, if a property was purchased $500K in 2019 at 3ish%, and maybe they put 20% down, and owner boasts about how profitable of an STR it is; and then now they put is on the market for $900K because that appears to be the market rate (at least this seems to be the case in high appreciation areas such Colorado, Hawaii, and several other areas), however interest rates are now 7.5%, how can this same STR now be cashflow positive?

Others might had a good experience, so its case by case. In
