. $140 equity in our primary residence that we’d be open to getting a HELOC on (would love feedback on if people recommend this or not).Given our limited available resources for down payment, high home prices, and higher interest rates, is now a bad time for first time investors to enter the market?

Developer could not complete escrow and property fell out of contract.I need help deciding on whether to try an list again and sell OR to hold and wait out the higher interest market for rates to drop with hopes of higher offers OR to develop the site myself and build it out.

Recently, I've encountered startups and companies offering quick EMD financing at high interest rates (around 3-5% per month).

Im assuming getting a lower refi rate would lower payments also improving my DTI Ratio ?

Thought about the UCLA Extension School, but I'm not sure it's worth the time investment/relevant to my short term goals(BRRRR, Flip, etc.).

I would not be eligible for a 1031 exchange, and when looking at refinance rates on 3% and 5.5% rates respectively, the numbers would not make sense to keep the properties and scale. 

We all understand you want to save on fees and have the lowest rate.

Want to access equity but don't want to take on a higher rate.

Especially in today's interest rate environments. 

Alternatively, I could hope that my next assignment will be in a better market with more options, maybe lower rates, and more cash on hand.Should I accept that no market is perfect and get in the game now, or hold out for a year to enter a potentially better market with more capital to invest?
