There is already a mountain of things you have left to learn and adding variables like 'what will rates do in the next x months' distracts you from the important learnings of how to run rentals successfully.Once you have a few rentals under your belt with stable cash flows and an understanding of what style works for you, sure go take some interest rate risk by getting some variable rate debt.

Hello, I currently do now have any rentals under my belt, but i have been mainly looking for Multi Family units rather than single family. reason being is if at least half the units are filled then i still "potentially" have money coming it so not as much comes from me, currently i am looking for multiple family units, BUT each unit is its own dwelling...none of the houses are connected yet they are on the same property/purchased together. just my 2 cents, again i DO NOT have any units currently. but hope to make some moves soon on a couple properties.
