Interest Rates Are Too High? Really?! I Beg to Differ

I Can’t Invest in Real Estate Right Now,

Interest Rates are Too High!”

I’ve been hearing this a lot lately.

And every time, I say the same thing:

“Who Cares?!”

But then I add,

“Compared To What”

Because they’re not looking at this carefully. And they’re repeating what everyone else says without doing the actual math.

Think about it… 

High Interest Rates Are Scaring Buyers

THAT’S A GOOD THING!

High rates = scared buyers = less competition = better deals for you. 

So while everyone waits, you negotiate.

  • Negotiate better deals (less competition)
  • Get sellers to make concessions
  • Buy the property at YOUR PRICE
  • Refinance later when rates drop

Marry the House. Date the Rate.

A Real Client Story

A client with $150,000 saved was scared to invest, “Interest rates are too high. I’m waiting for them to drop.”

Here’s what I told him:

“While you’re waiting for a 1% rate drop, you’re missing:

  • Property appreciation
  • Equity building through mortgage paydown
  • Tax benefits from depreciation
  • Renters paying down your loan

You’re obsessing over the WRONG number, AND you’re losing more waiting than you would ‘save’ on a lower rate.”

What happened?

He bought. Locked in at 6.5%.

12 months later:

  • Property appreciated 8%
  • Equity increased $45,000
  • Tax savings from depreciation: $12,000
  • Cash flow: Positive from day one

The Interest Rate? Barely Mattered.
