I don't know how the mortgages work over there but a 2 year loan you could get hit with a refi bomb where the rate climbs up and you do not have the excess in rental rates rising fast enough to cover the spread.

Although we may have found better off market deals looking without the agent I think that their help was instrumental being a first time home buyer and a first time investor (quite the mountain to climb).As long as you are willing to do some work foreclosures can be a great option!

In prime areas even though cap rate stays in 5's the price point is much higher as rent per sq ft climbs.

I absolutely will transition to RE, SFHs, but just want to more clearly understand the landscape first with regard to whether or not banks will still offer fixed rate, 30 year mortgages during a time of climbing interest rates.

Keep your rent climbing up each year and keep the tenant happy and you’ll do fine

Mainly because having been an investor for over 20 years, having made my first million $ through real estate, and subsequently losing most of it in the 2009 crash, and now finally climbing out of that crisis through my day job as a CPA/consultant I feel like a lot of content has been missing out there for seasoned, survivor investors like me.

Not how far you are from your perceived goals but how far you have come from your beginning.There is a great book about this by Dan Sullivan called "The Gap" I highly recommend that you get a copy and read it.There is another phenomenon called the dip, before every great mountain your climb there is a dip.
