This week, two critical economic reports—the CPI inflation report (Tuesday, February 13) and Initial Jobless Claims (Thursday, February 15)—will provide new insights into whether the Fed will stay on its current path or begin signaling rate cuts.Real estate investors looking to finance new deals, refinance existing loans, or time their next acquisition should closely monitor how these reports shape market expectations for the Fed’s next move.Current Market ConditionsMortgage rates have remained stubbornly high due to persistent inflation and a strong labor market.

Do you use traditional financing or do you us DSCR loans?

Although again the guys i funded that have 250 plus units probably have 10 mil or more in forced equity. 

Lastly, if you need help with a loan or want to talk, shoot me a DM or email!

(Again, ask the bank.)These days I lean toward flips (which is unusual for me) but if the numbers show it cash flows all in with a 7% loan, then sure.

I'd need the interest rate to be roughly 5% to breakeven on an interest-only loan, and was considering a balloon payment in 5-7 years.

Through a hard money lender, but I will take out a DSCR loan in March to refinance.
