How will the imminent interest rate increases impact the multi-family market and real estate in general? 

But even if we are, it would be a small part, not making a major impact.

Just make sure to specify you want a "Soft Pull so that it does not impact my Credit."

It is just a matter of not screwing anything up.. which is bound to happen, I am just trying to mitigate the impact of it haha :). 

Avoiding an opportunity because there is a "chance, no matter how small" of a profit impact would eliminate all investments.A refinance on a property that will not decline in value or will only decline a small amount is tapping into profits (tax free).I have a portfolio of properties with GRMs around 5; so, I get it and put my money where my mouth is on the cash flow strategy. 

I'm so grateful for everyone chiming in.Based on the many opinions, I believe that removing the popcorn ceiling will not impact my rental income much one way or another.

The book has been cited by many as one of the books that propelled them into real estate investing and if that is true then it has had a great impact.

Other than that we can still operate how we want to operate when it comes to screening criteria.When it comes to discrimination against felons, every state falls into that category thanks to HUDs ruling on disparate impact.

Lower interest rates can have a significant impact on various sectors of the economy.

However, I've also read that if the tenants live with clutter, decorate the house in a less than comely manner or make it seem in any way less desirable, it can negatively impact the appraisal.
