Keep in mind - a good response rate is between 0.5%-1%.

even in lower cost markets.https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/12/topics/1171104-the-m...and - i still think it's better to pick a market that you have a connection to rather than one that meets arbitrary numerical criteria. 

That makes your next purchase less risky due to higher reserves and the ability to earn interest on your cash if you put it in an interest bearing account until you need to use it which will counter the mortgage rate being higher.You will also get a lower payment on a 30 year refinance versus a shot term line of credit usually around 10-15 years on a 9-12% rate versus a 6.75% to 7% with good credit.

For the first four properties that I purchased, the loan officers sent me "initial disclosures" which clearly stated the interest rate expected closing, expected monthly payment etc. 

We are month 27 since the rise of rates, and month 11 of the expected peak of rates.

@Sean Gammons rising property values & mortgage rates have ended the "easy days" where you could buy anything and rent for cashflow.You're going to have to look harder or go into riskier investments.Prior to the crash of 2008, seasoned investors would look at 100 properties, bid on 10, to hopefully get one deal accepted that met their ROI and CoC requirements.

For context, my rent will just cover my PITI for my primary, nothing more--interest rate is 6.3% on a 300k home (so side question, are other people also just getting PITI covered by rent in North Dallas single-family homes, or am I just bad at this??

We own our home with a pretty low rate from 2020 and also put around $800/month towards my mom's apartment rent.
