I am looking for percentages seeing as CPI has hit 6.2%.

I’m in Mansfield and keep an eye on what hits the MLS in the surrounding areas.

I figure it was local kids hitting them with baseball bats or with a car.

Operational costs are a direct hit on profitability.Disaster Risk - Some parts of the country are more prone to natural disasters.

Almost all of the risk is taken away once you get low interest long term financing and as long as you hit your numbers and plan to reinvest right away you do better with upside if you are buy again then you have more properties getting the appreciation (and cashflow) if the market keeps going up.

With the recent inflation hike, I’ve been asking myself – will it be possible for banks to change the terms of existing fixed rate loans in the future if really high inflation hits (aka hyperinflation).

@Sean Sloop hit it on the nail.

Trying to keep as much cash on hand as possible but I understand your point.The challenge: As prices for homes go up, the rental market in certain areas can hit a ceiling (based on avg I come in that area) so you start heading toward diminishing returns. 

If we were to take this route, we would try and leverage a 1031 exchange so we aren't being hit heavily on the tax.

Another thought is, you may need two of these Mini Splits to hit all areas of the home.
