Cash is always going to be king, but the delta is definitely more pronounced in higher interest rate environments.

I have met some private investors that are interested in helping me with the funding of my flip, but I haven't found any properties yet.

.- What's happening with mortgage rates and the yield curve?

I think there were very very very few people who thought interest rates would go from 3 to 8% in about a year. 

Will interest rates go up or down when Freddie/Fanny are 100% privatized?

I started off doing long distance BRRRRs until the rates went up.

I have absolutely no funds myself.

There are plenty out there with fair rates and lower fees.

Look at occupancy rates, average daily rates, and competition to understand the potential for success.Property Management: Consider how you'll manage the property remotely.
