We are getting ready to hold this debate at our monthly REIA meeting and there are a lot more factors - interest rates, appreciating properties, changing regulatory environment and more.

The rebound came suddenly amid still very high interest rate environment.

Just something to think about.This makes me want to create new class for investor, really , maybe I can charge $250 for an investment class and how to understand appreciation/ cash flow at different market environment.

It was also financed as a secondary home (I was told that there is no difference in rate in the current environment between a second home or a rental).

This is one reason that people have been saying cap rates would be going up because why would you buy RE at a 5 cap (5%) when you can take that money, in todays interest rate environment, and invest it in safe investments that take zero of your time and don't have unseen expenses, and get 5% or better?

I just don't think because it's cheap(say lower B, and C class) outright that it means it's valuable.In a high(er) debt environment, less is more.

Before buying I'd recommended looking at meeting minutes for the HOA board, look at financials, and talk to residence about the STR environment.

Every time I find a good deal - it ends up being not so good once I start analyzing the numbers and the reality of the home or environment lol.

There seems to be so much going on there and the environment is similar to San Diego (similar types of houses, wonderful Hispanic influences).
