I don't have the capital to be a cash buyer unless I took money out against my primary residence which I would prefer not to do.Really trying to figure out where I am missing the boat, so I appreciate any feedback.1. every city has its own hidden default cap rate every year2. as new money being printed, home price going up3. the more it's going up, the harder it is for a new investor or first-time home buyer to catch up with price.4. cap rate could only decrease every year, it may increase only by 0.5%which means5. if your city cap rate is below a certain value,best stratey is for a flat cash flow and waiting for more appreciationor6. focus on flip/distressed propertyif you want better cash flow you may want to visit the midwest city.

I guess you can also see it as a decrease of 15% in purchasing power.

This deal consists of 4 buildings totaling 17 units. true Cashflow right now is roughly $100 per door however there is tons of opportunity to decrease expenses over time. 

Yes, it can decrease the pool of buyers if you eventually want to sell, but it still happens all the time.

Also, there bid increment decreases as you get closer to the reserve.  

At the risk of oversimplifying, you still need to have a certain cash on cash return, so your purchase price will need to decrease as the rates increase.

As deal values get bigger, the typical 3% decreases.

We are wanting to secure funding in case there is significant increases in interest rates and a significant decrease in housing prices.

Going DSCR limits all your concerns, but will decrease your cash flow.
