Instead, comparing properties based on your monthly cash flow projections will be the best way to take an objective approach to the situation.

These could work but understand that if you have to pay a double-digit interest rate or close for 25 years, that could make your property extremely expensive in the end.

Having only come out of pocket a small amount for downpayment (5%), closing costs and some repairs, our CoC will easily be in the high double digits (after factoring in repairs/maintenance).

My concern is that if rates continue to climb, and we end up with a double-digit rate (like in my parent's era), the 5 year ARM could end at a bad time for refinancing.

Ensure that you have an exit strategy in case rates hit double digits.

The investors trying to make their first million often do not understand this as they are at a different point in their life and investing journey.If I am worth 20 million I can take 10 million cash and buy larger properties for better cap rate and usually achieve 6% or better cash on cash and with mortgage paydown hit double digit annual returns and do nothing but collect a check.As for someone not renewing after 25 years then great if rents are below market upside for me and land likely worth a ton more than 25 years ago and traffic counts much higher.

My OBJECTIVE is to meet other investors who want to excel and grow this dataset to achieve further-reaching conclusions. 1.

We followed a one page business plan in Gino Wickmans book traction that I had also used at a W2 job - whereby if you track your goals and objectives and use it as your roadmap, you stay on course.

It seems like the media, and clickbait Youtubers, want to portray single digit increases in markets that had 10 or 20 or 50 percent increases in the last few years as a "crash" somehow.
