Although an increase in rate will slightly decrease the affordability of homes and reduce the potential cash flow of levered investment properties it will be positive for the overall economy and especially the banks.

Buy the best you can afford do not get sucked into the highest returns those are generally the most risky and the returns are only on paper you never actually realize them.. buy a nice home at the top of the range not the bottom and you will be much better off... property management will make or break the investment so make sure you good with that.
