I am not exposed to the golden distro list group that accredited investors (and above... banks, gse etc) who share tapes in the closed community.How to access that (other than increasing my salary above 200k and buy up mansions worth 1M and more and find a renter... 🤪)Any serious tips?

Mike Terry I am not confident that rising rates will slow down home price increases...especially in states with strong economics like Florida.

But you definitely could benefit from increased efficiency in the tenant acquisition phase. 

There are ALL kinds of things that you can do to increase revenue stream.Hold open houses.  

There’s no much you can do to increase/decrease the rates, so focus on what you can control which is on finding deals that meet your investing criteria.

All disclosures aside, I do anticipate 3 MORE rate increases from the fed this year, maybe 4 @ 0.25% each. 

But today, the prices are inflated and rent increases are trailing well behind in the area, so for buyers today with this company are not going to see at best but modest cash flow on the rehabs - that is if you are buying with leverage (conventional loan). 

In my experience, when residents have unexpectedly high heating bills, they gripe about it, their ability to pay rent is reduced(leading to a higher eviction rate,) and they tend to leave the apartment at the end of their lease, dramatically increasing turnover.

If using a Buyer's Agent, but they're not available to open the door of the property, ask them to do a rebate of 500.00 out of what the property is paying any Buyer Agent, and increase the Listing Agent's commission by $500 to get them to open the door to their own listing.

With that many units, I'd also think it likely that these would be set up to automatically pay electronically, increasing the likelihood of missing one.
