Is this expected since interest rates are high and listing prices are subsequently dropping? 

Are there any ways to use the equity that don't have brutal rates?

I've tracked my metrics over the years and I'm getting 99% hit rates with fewer than 1% wrong number percentages.

Avoid surfaces that can stain or feel cheap like low end LVP.

Sometimes they’ve already negotiated solid group rates.

In a climate like this with high rates, probably better to use a Heloc so you keep the lower rate of your 1st lien.

Due to current interest rates, many CAP rates are much lower than they should be and usually there is only so much price discount a non-delinquent seller will be able or willing to offer.

@Jaren Taylor, not sure if this is why you talk about raising all cash, but given most deals are trading in the 5% cap rate range, and agency debt is 6.5% while balance sheet debt is closer to 7%, I whole heartedly agree that all cash is the ideal capital structure for many properties today, if your goal is to maximize overall returns for your investors.  

That 4% cap rate on in place financials is a lie.  

As a parent, and landlord, and previous renter I will always choose to live or rent in the area with the higher rated schools - maybe they aren’t Blue Ribbon Schools, but a C+ rated Elementary School > F Elementary School.
