They're Not Making More Land. Own Something.

I love watching new investors freak out over rates. Those the same rates we had before '08.  Investors made a lot of money 馃挵 buying at those rates, refinancing after the crash and selling in '20. Investing is a long game. Rates go up/down, but they're not making more land. OWN something!  You can't win unless you play.

@Gladimir Lobo, I agree that real estate is a long game. I鈥檝e seen investors get so focused on waiting for the perfect market that they sometimes overlook whether a property actually makes sense for their own goals. The rate matters, but so do the property, the numbers, and the plan for holding it.

From the legal side, I鈥檝e worked with investors who started with one property and eventually built a much larger portfolio. As they grew, we had to look at how their properties were titled, how their LLCs were structured, and whether their asset protection and estate plans still made sense. Buying the property is really just the beginning.

I like this perspective, @Gladimir Lobo. Thinking beyond the immediate market is something I see often in my real estate work with investors. Happy to stay connected and follow what you鈥檙e sharing.

    There are investors who are making money in this market with these rates. These are not the highest rates historically or anywhere near it. There are many deals that still work and depending on the area, less competition, so investors are getting deals they would most likely not be getting if there were more buyers in the marketplace. Also, there are strategies that can help make current deals even better with higher cash flow depending on the type of property and loan program.

    I think the issue is pricing shot up, then rates shot up, and the market adjusted at a very slow pace, which it has been adjusting over the past few years. In most markets you've seen it either stagnant or, like Austin, take some big hits. The reality is housing most likely is going to go back to its historical norm of increasing 1% to 3% per year. Hopefully incomes can catch up because there is some disconnect today between incomes and housing pricing

    Real estate is definitely a long game, but I wouldn't buy a property just because I expect rates to change later. The property still needs to make sense at the numbers you're buying it at today.

    Rates can change, values can change, and markets can change. If you buy something you can comfortably hold and the numbers work, you're in a much better position when the market changes.
