If the stock market keeps rising like this January, maybe HF will be more interested in funneling their money back to the stock market, lol

@Mario MoralesInsurance prices - yes they will continue to rise across the nation.

So far no bites, but we'll see what happens.Another thing I'm wondering is how much of an effect rising rates might be having here.

Personally, I generate steady cash flow through rental income from workforce housing and multifamily properties, but the value really comes from the appreciation that takes time but is happening, especially in markets like Dallas, where property values are rising steadily due to a major supply demand imbalance.

I would t go much lower unless you can estimate rehabbing accurately or bear in mind the asset class to vacancy and other variable cost issues rising.

With suburban spots around Houston and Dallas gaining traction for affordability and space, how do you think the trend will evolve if interest rates continue to rise?

I wish people could pause and listen to how foolish they sound sometimes when they have strong opinions about how somethings are so wrong on the one hand, but then on the other hand, they do the same thing only in a slightly different way. if every student of every counselor guru trainer was successful there would be no real estate to buy :) it would all be scooped up and or the values would rise like crazy. 

There are some basics that I think most people would assume are common knowledge, and therefore not rise to needing called out.

Longboat Key and Siesta Key are two ideal locations for those seeking luxury properties in exclusive but less crowded areas.Orlando: Although more commonly known for its tourism industry, Orlando is emerging as a luxury market due to the rise of high-end gated communities and its proximity to theme parks.

Hi John,It's a matter of opportunity cost.Yes capital is more expensive right now, but based off cyclical and long term data, asset prices begin to rise rapidly as money becomes cheaper.
