Historically speaking (last 60 years) rising rates never had the power to crash a market.

If you are planning to continue in your career, I would continue leveraging your high income to buy properties in historically strong appreciating markets like the parts of LA in which you currently own.

Rates are very low right now historically.

Rates have gone up recently but are still low by historical standards and, in my judgement, will likely keep going up for the forseeable future.

All this to say, I feel there will always be a demand for rentals regardless of (most) areas, historical trends, etc.Hope this made sense and helps! 

I was lucky because I got in at a time when rates were historically at their lowest and was able to close alot of deals.

I'm having a hard time developing a plan despite reading and watching and listening to market and real estate experts for my personal situation. 2022 has led me to worry a bit on my ability to plan in the near future but I want to still strike while the interest rates are historically low.

LindekugelI am guessing the raise it to about the same rate as the 2 yr treasury which is historically where it has been. 

I am wondering if there is any historic precedence where the mortgage interest rates have shot up as much as they have recently without the FED really changing the rates much?

Do you think borrowing the most you can while rates are still historically low is the best policy in a environment where a recession could be possible?
