Markets are like bathtubs, when the water rises for whatever reason, be it interest rates, inflations, lack of demand, bubbles collapsing, or whatever one can conjure up, the bathtub will get deeper, and those below the water line drown.Now you can spend your time thinking there is some other paradigm, but all of them are the same paradigm, the depth of water in the tub, which is the cost of operations to stay afloat in a business.If rates go up, lets say they hit 6% or 12%, you will see two things happening. 1st those who can not afford to stay in the game will attempt to exit.

I want to congratulate you for making the decision to dive in.

My goal is to learn as much about this business as I can and dive right in.

I suggest listening to the above and learning more and specifically diving into the masshousing website to get started (again!).

I am here because I want to learn as much as possible before diving in.

Thank you and I look forward to spending lots of time diving through he wealth of information here at BP. 

@Rumen Mladenov Wow, never knew that to be possible, I will definitely take a deeper look into that.

I recently completed a 3 day training course and have decided to dig deeper.

At this time the BRRR method looks most appealing to me but I'd like to educate myself more before diving in as well as save for a down payment.

I've been reading a lot on REI for the last year or so and am about to take a dive into my first property!
