@Vy Lewelcome. i'd read this:https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/48/topics/1159104-overl...it's gotten especially challenging to invest OOS with prices AND interest rates both so high. 

On the other hand, I am locked in at a 3% interest rate on a home that will likely continue to appreciate well.

Hi Whitney: the BRRRR strategy has been significantly impacted by the higher mortgage rates and lower LTVs.

Today’s Interest Rate: 7.09%(☝️ .17% from this time last week, 30-yr mortgage)Well, crap.

Divided Opinions: Academic economists polled by the Financial Times believe the Fed will likely maintain high interest rates for longer than anticipated, potentially hindering rate cuts this year.

So my current terms are killing me with the rates.

If you do not have experience you will get industry rates. 

No appreciation last two years due to rates.
