I don’t understand how people are finding cash flow positive rental properties with rates this high! I’m in Florida and it seems impossible

Many are doing 25% or 30% down, with plans to add value and refi when rates come down.

Even if you break even for 6 to 12 months, the general consensus is to buy now and refi later than to rate for rates to drop since prices will likely climb fast when that happens.

If you pay cash they are more likely to cash flow

Well, yeah, but there’s no more money to do other things, and you’re stuck with smaller projects. With rates as they are, if you are sitting on dry powder, as they say, you could do it and wait to refi. But the issue is cap rates are up, but prices haven’t gone down. This, to me, is because of a lack of inventory—no one is selling. And I don’t expect any sympathy, but I’ve got a bunch of loans that need be refinanced in December. I’m just waiting for the next election. But I know I won’t get my 4.25% next time around.
