Exception would be if I was virtually assured I would be selling before the rate reset. 2.6 fixed 30 is a hell of a rate no matter what interest rate environment we're in. 

In the current environment, I'm spending money improving the properties so when the market turns I will have less unexpected repairs and maintenance, and can focus on acquiring more rentals. 

We're in an environment where interest rates are creeping up, so I expect that deal flow will be even more constrained in the coming year.

I think if you live in an environment with different seasons a landscape company is your best bet.

The less you have, the riskier the environment. 

As a Vancouver resident I'm biased in my opinion, but the living environment and lifestyle doesn't get much better than in southwest coastal B.C!

I plan on house hacking but in this already expensive market and under this high interest rate environment, it's so hard to find a property in a good location that can cash flow.

In the current environment, many tenants expect elevated concessions and more tenant improvement dollars than obtained before 2020.

Lastly in the current environment we are in (speaking mostly to the outrage by many towns / NIMBY neighbors hating on airbnb's), I think there is inherent risk in every single town that things could change on a dime.

I am aware of the financial side of things such as differences in property taxes etc. but not yet familiar with the legal environment regarding the eviction process in those states etc.Mainly, are there big differences or just slight differences to be aware of?
