The title of this thread is cash flow or equity paydown.
Well equity paydown increases and ensures cash-flow.
I am surprised how many here do not see that the so called cash flow most here are enjoying , is temporarily gifted to them by the government in the form of stimulus through rock bottom interest rates, creation of new bank products like the 30, 35, 40 year amm, high loan to value HELOC's etc.
When I started investiing, out of town properties needed 10-13% CAP rates and in town required 8-10% just to compete with the banks prime rate. Now newbie investors are piling into Hamitlton investments at 5% CAP rates.
The CAP rate constantly competes with monies in the bank.
Interest rates are more likely to go up than down. The Govt has even warned on this many times.
What will happen to your equity and temporary cash flow when the expected CAP rates rise?
Oh! I know. Rent will increase to compensate!?!? Lol!
What if it doesn't? Last time I checked, when supply increases, prices fall hard.
Many of you here, have been drinking from the punch bowl of declining interest rates for the past decade or more. Well, having rising interest rates will change the economics course you have been attending and make you throw out your textbooks.
Right now, one can't tell the difference between between a true millionaire and a wannabe. Nothing lasts forever!
