Despite higher interest rate environment, there's reasonable probability inflation will still continue - thus increase hard asset valuation.

As @Jonathan Greene mentioned this is kind of a dated strategy in the new price/interest rate environment.

I love my CPA just wondering about what a fair price is for a CPA to do our taxes.

I recognize there are other ways I could invest this cash (including another property) but I am being mindful of levering myself out too much in the current environment where job losses are more common in my industry (tech).

Smart idea staying flexible in this environment.

Stability: Homeowners tend to stay in their homes longer than renters, which can create a more stable environment for families and children.

I have not purchased property via their platform but I'd also note it's few and far between to try to find any deals that pencil in the current environment.  4-5 years ago one could find good cash flow with SFR properties.

Real estate investment is always a matter of perspective and strategy, and the current market environment is no exception.

Sellers continue to drive the Valdosta market even during this higher rate environment.

Urban areas can definitely be tough to gauge from a google maps search because environments are street by street, block by block.
