With interest rates going up from the lowest in 30-year history of 3% to 7%, many people sentimentally feel that this is not a good time to buy a home and are postponing home buying decisions until after interest rates drop down.Let me explain why this is a wrong way to think about buying a house and why now is a great time to enter the real estate market.Reason #1 is that interest rates in your lifetime will never going to be as low as they were during pandemic.

This can lead to higher occupancy rates and rental income potential.STR Potential: The short-term rental market in South Florida is thriving, and Hollywood is well-positioned to attract vacationers and business travelers.

What I do like about the condo market right now is fixer condos are going for a steeper discount than it actually costs to remodel.

Rate or Cost?

Even though you said that some wholesalers are raising their rates, there could be others who can provide good off-market discounts.It's important to approach direct marketing with professionalism and integrity, respecting homeowners' privacy and circumstances.

I started looking at Invelo because of 3 things that seemed to be different from ReiSift which were list pulling, their apparent already built marketing campaigns, and seemed to be a similar as far as data mgt but with the BP discount a little more cost effective. 

Also there are weather issues with Indiana winters and pipes possibly freezing, thunderstorms and hail damage2) Knowing how long to hold onto a property, 1031 exchange it to another property or DST, or in some cases sell it and pay the small capital gains tax (if any) to have less headache. 3) Underwriting the deal incorrectly (factors: local appreciation, rate of rental increase, economic growth, gentrification of area) and being overly optimistic (a renovated 100 year old home is still going to have problems).

In which markets have you noticed particularly strong performance recently in terms of rental demand and occupancy rates?

A+ rated schools.

Seems like they are running a Pawn Shop, homeowners in Austin/Miami/Tampa etc who need cash bad sell a "HomeShare", percentage of their equity in their home for a discount, with a term of 10 yrs, if the homes go up in value as they have since 2011/2012 then NADA gets the original equity already at a premium price plus any appreciation for the total percentage they bought from the homeowner, but since Austin now down 20% in last 12 months and other hot home markets may also continue to fall, and NADA does not engage in price discovery (ie shopping for best value) as they want to obtain a "Market Value - ETF like" of the cities they invest in.
