Today the Fed said they would debate having 3 rate cuts this year, which can add up to .75-1 basis point. 

Not yet the 2% the Fed would like but again, directionally positive.The Fed, while not increasing interest rates during their meeting last week, are quietly continuing Quantitative Tightening.

Hey guys,I am curious on your outlook on the mortgage market after yesterday's FED rate pause and outlook on the future.

This, coupled with the ADP data is giving traders reason to bet that Friday's Non-Farm Payrolls will be better than expected and potentially give the Fed enough data to start tapering on Sept 18th.

@David Santana, have you tried a national credit union like Pen Fed? 

Hi Adam,I've always been a real estate guy but exposed my personal portfolio quite heavily to a regional bank ETF.I guess time will tell if I'll be a "Hero" or "Zero" lolCome on you Fed and reduce those rates 😁Real estate is and always will be my bread and butter tho.You can't beat the safety of a "brick and mortar" investment per se.My best advice would be if you are going to go down the path of investing in out of state rentals to have a growth mindset.Buying 1 or 2 isn't worth the risk or hassle and you might as well invest in your own back yard.10+ years in the industry and my most unsatisfied investors are the one's that build smaller portfolio's.If a property goes vacant and takes a few months to get it back performing, with a small portfolio that could impact cashflow of 30-50% for that year.Our investors that own 7,8 or 10+ properties, don't even feel it if 1 or 2 go vacant.Just my opinion and wishing you much success

And detached housing tenants always cut the grass and shovel the snow, and often take care of minor maintenance. 

Investors in Q4 of last year changed from either increasing or decreasing exposure to a wait and see, which makes sense as they are waiting to see what the Fed does.

I just think the Fed is going to stick with interest rates being high for a while.

Look in front of you.ALL these houses you just looked at, are "off-market properties".You are not looking for off-market properties, you are not looking for tall grass, boarded-up windows, or notices.
