But even if you’re not concerned with that you should be concerned about decreasing your potential income  

Anyway that alone could decrease your closing costs.

The annual return has been decreasing, and I believe it's because they are becoming more conservative in response to the heated market.I think Fundrise is better than putting your money in the bank or buying bonds, but the return it provides is not as attractive as real estate investments, such as syndications, that provide you many tax benefits.Not to mention that syndications typically get you minimum 10%-15% IRR depending on the strategy. 

I compared it to what I use and a few differences:I compare different financing options, which you can easily do by adding more columns to your Financing box (mostly to see what changes when I increase or decrease my down payment)For rents I also break it out by units, and I put descriptions (2/1, 1/1, for bed/bath).

Looking at buying a 4-unit in NJ and considering using an FHA loan to decrease down payment money needed (would be 3.5%-5% down in this case).

There was a slight decrease in median sales price from the preceding month and a slight decrease from the preceding year for the entire Austin Metropolitan Statistical Area.The City of Austin saw a change in month to month median sale price from $525,250 to $525,000 a month to month decrease of $250 and a 4% decrease from the previous year.

Interest is at about 7% right now but they seem to be leveling off/decreasing.

With the mortgage rates leveling out and kind of decreasing at 7% are you changing your investing strategy?

-Our initial consideration is that it should be based on the market value of the land, not the tax value, and that we should consider not just the decreased sales price but also the opportunity cost of that easement for the years that we keep this property.

It will decrease your buyer pool and you may have a lower sale price for essentially a non-issue.
