Currently looking to buy a rental in Liberty, Missouri.Hi @Micaila Frazier, welcome to the BP Forum!

Most people see high interest rates and immediately think it's not a good time to buy. 

OK - but WHERE is the Buying or Selling Real Estate "page" or "section"?

Investment Info:Single-family residence buy & hold investment.

Buy box: Location: Approx. 30 min drive to Boston Heights, for workNeighborhoods: Decent walkability score - not far from shops/restaurants/trendy neighborhoodsIdeal tenants: Close to hospitals/universities/schools for professionals/students/familiesBudget: $175-250K - Buying w/conventional loan, 5% down/ approx 20K reno.Property type: MFH 2-4 units - preferably side-by-side, with a yard we can fence for our dogUnits: 3+/1+ - better if 1.5/2 bath per unitTimeline: Plan to live there for 2 years, but possibly only 1 year if we find another investment opportunityGoal: Focus on appreciation - would like to see cash flow in year 2-3 (the year we move out), including overhead (Vacancies, Maintenance, Utilities) and budgeting in PM if eventually we don't manage ourselvesValue add: Opportunity for some forced appreciation, but not a full reno - cosmetic upgrades and updating kitchens/baths while we live in one unit.

I own one rental house in Cypress, but with the current market I have not been able to find another existing single family home to buy that looks like a good investment. 

I am looking to connect with investors looking to buy, or lend.

When using leverage on both end of a financing deal, it's really difficult to make the numbers work on long term buy and hold strategies.

If you’re using a mortgage to buy the property, most lenders won’t allow you to put it directly into an LLC—at least not right away.
