Two to three years ago I was trying to hit about 1.7, and doing it (upper blue collar),,today, I'd love to find a 1.4 deal in a nice neighborhood,,they are hard to find,,,,so you have to make the decision, do you sit on the sideline or take a 1.3 deal,,,,,The deals from a few years ago spoiled me!

In my opinion, higher interest rates are suppressing housing prices, which are keeping demand on the sidelines, especially for the newest, largest generation who are now looking to form a household and move out of mom and dads (or their 8 dude group frat house, said my 26 year old self).

But you also don't want to just sit in the sideline.

He is very desperate to get rid of this property but me coming in on the sidelines with no knowledge of the divorce, want to make sure I'm doing everything in my power to make sure I'm protected in this deal.  

A lot of would be buyers are waiting on the sidelines right now which has eased demand and sellers are settling at better prices.

Every buyer who's been on the sidelines will be out buying at that point.Best of luck in your investment journey! 

Do you have the $72k already sitting on the sideline?

Or rates in the mid 6s might entice all the home buyers that have been on the sidelines the last 18 months. 

Sitting on the sidelines is what keeps people from building wealth.

A lot of us our sitting on the sidelines as the market has peaked and interest rates are driving us crazy.
