So the combination of: the rate cap, the fact that a rising rate inflationary environment should push your rents up over time, and BUYING RIGHT will help ensure you still comfortably have positive cash flow if/when rates move up substantially.I've thought about using my property reserve account and other funds to place hedging bets on rate increases, possibly through inverse bond market ETFs.

The minute they think they have things under control and stop going to meetings etc. is when they relapse.Even if the person is working hard to stay clean they will feel sorry for the druggy friends and let them crash their.Once around the poison of choice instead of a safe environment they cave in.I had this happen before with a tenant with a nice job as a chef.She had been clean for 5 years and had another year of probation left.Her probation officer swore up and down she was a model person in the program.At first things were great the first 2 months.Then these seedy guy start showing up from out of state in SUV's and then now she is keeping pit bulls for a friend of hers which is not allowed in the lease.One of her friends boyfriends stole a purse and police came and found him in the closet and arrested him.Point of that story is I do not ever take marginal tenants again.I will let someone else take the risk.I am not putting my money at risk or returns but I will gladly let the Government do it.I look for quality in properties now and not the low income stuff.You can't let a marginal tenant come in and affect your whole building if they relapse.

Further, if you do not state that making a profit is your primary purpose, and do state other purposes, it appears to be and is somewhat dishonest.I personally am tired of hearing about Exxon's committment to the environment, Ford wanting to bring excellence to Detroit and Walmarts dedication to bringing consumers the lowest prices.

Not everyone has to have the same focus as I do, and I can take care of myself just fine in any environment, but why should I keep swimming upstream?
