Now that demand is cooling, values are dropping.

Drop a post on this thread if you're interested in a quick call to share learnings.

Is this expected since interest rates are high and listing prices are subsequently dropping? 

If you drop business and work you can bounce back.  

Sit tight and wait till rates drop.

You said, why, not what.Because there is going to be a large drop in licensees.

Even if you make all of your payments on time there are times when something happens by accident or a collection pops-up and drops the credit scores. 

Quote from @Kody Smith: without getting too deep into my finances, what my strategy is...1. take loans to buy properties (leverage)2. fix/flip for day to day cash flow income3. use some of the fix/flip income to buy consistent cash flow through:- business acquisition, - commercial properties (MF and store fronts),I have no intention of doing ALL of the management myself, I will hire management as needed (medium term goal)my expected core role is money provider, evaluating the numbers, making decisions, and connecting with investors, wholesalers, lenders, contractors, and property owners.while I am just on step 2 of the journey, I am looking toward step 3 to stabilize, and not worry about if house prices drop mid project or not (or not worry as much) So to be fair this is more about obtaining and growing a real estate business not simply buying rentals for cashflow.
