Some areas may still be good to invest in even with global uncertainty.Interest Rates – Try to get a good mortgage rate now, as waiting for rates to drop could be risky.Cash Flow – If the rental income covers your costs and gives a profit, it's a good sign to buy.Long-Term Thinking – Real estate tends to grow in value over time, even if there are short-term changes.Rather than holding off, look for deals that make sense for your goals now.

Yes the AUD.USD rate is the biggest factor..as presently that would mean going long USD and short AUD.. however if the borrowing rates drop in US and US $ index declines that generally strengthens AUD and that would cause losses.

...in its simplest form, you just divvy up the water bill 10 ways....watch water usage drop.  

Hold firm.If you get nervous, drop the rent $100 per month or confirm your marketing is good.You do limit the prospective tenant base by restricting pets, but that is your prerogative.

If you want to buy, give a couple Sears Outlets a call, they normally have a couple sets around and since they likely sit for a decent amount of time the store might be motivated to drop the price a bit to move it.

Construction can have unforseen costs, construction loans for rounds of funding can be more expensive over time, rent markets can drop, vacancies in market can increase.Typically entitlement phase of land most risk, followed by development, followed by vacant building turn around, followed by half vacant building, followed by mainly full building with value add component, followed by brand new building with market or below in place rents and everything new with good location.Along that spectrum of course you go from heavy equity upside potential to mainly just the cash flow return and hopefully price appreciation over time.Investors have to decide on the spectrum of their risk assessment to capital over what period of time how they will allocate between all one type of investment or multiple and what percentages.

Hi Corey,First of all, congrats on the success.I do think it is in your best interest to leverage these properties right now, with rates dropping we will see more demand in the market in 2025-2026.You have a few options on something like this.You can do a blanket loan and cash out on the entire portfolio, you'd save a little bit on fees here and there; or you can do individual cash out refinances.I strongly recommend doing them individually if you can.

Not sure how much your taxes increased, but one way to cheaply and quickly drop your monthly payment is to increase your deductible on your insurance for the time being (please speak to your insurance agent about what this means for you).

Given your situation, it sounds like you’re facing a classic investor dilemma: do you throw more money at repairs to sell at a higher price, or do you cut your losses and drop the listing price?
