Bold Prediction: The Fed WILL Do a 25+ BPS Cut... But RE Borrowing Rates Will Rise

I think one thing people need to understand is in the US the ten-year treasury is competing against the mortgage-backed securities and while the ten-year is impacted by interest rates, its not the only factor and amount of spending we do also impacts it.they auctioned off 30-year today and it went really bad as no one wants our long-term debt and it sold for 4.3%10-year notes recently traded for 3.96% but again very weak demand - which I believe means yield prices may continue to move up, which means interest rates are not going down dramatically anytime soon - so that fed 25 or 50bps drop is not going to have your mortgage lender dropping rates suddenly the next day...Now the spread between the 10 yr and 30yr mortgages historically is closer to 1.75 but recently has been between 2-3% due to yield curve.

@Dave AllenRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?
