It's a simple question to ask the owner.And if this property is part of a 1031, the current owners may have a change of heart on parting with this if there has been a big upside appreciation gain...they'll be taxed on a stepped-up basis and it might be sticker shock.

Some people who will feel like buying now in order to lock in rates before they go higher, but I think most people like you and me are going to wait-and-see, thereby pushing sales and prices down even further.However, interest rates are a reaction to inflation, and the current causes of inflation, one-time stimulus and supply shocks, are short term (another 1 or 2 years at the most).

In my experience over the past few months, you'd be shocked how many people in this industry are willing to help!

@Jeulissa Gonzales here are a few I’ve encountered:1) Evicting a roommate2) Evicting a tenant on the other half of my duplex and having to take that tenant to court3)  Listening to my tenant on the other half of my duplex destroy my tenant through a wall we shared, while the police did nothing, as the tenants have rights to “their home” that are shockingly overreaching.  

Be pleasant.

I saw a lot of new investors get shell shocked when their rates rose from 4% to 9%.

And when you're setting up for the first time, even on a place that's supposedly turn key, you will be shocked at how much the nickel and dime stuff adds up. $30 for a cheap blender. $50 for extra pillowcases. $19 for a can opener. $12 for dish towels.

Wow, I'm shocked at these answers.

Hi all,I just had, what I think is a pleasant surprise, on a recent purchase in Park Circle area of North Charleston.

I've been pleasantly surprised that most of them will make arrangements to have a local gig worker of some kind come by and walk their dog once a day for potty break and exercise.
