Interest rates are still rising even three years after the first rate hikes. So what should you do: wait to buy when rates are lower, sell the underperforming properties you have while prices are high, or keep buying in hopes you can refinance? We’re explaining what each of us is doing with our money during this seven-percent rate era, plus how to score a lower rate loan on rental properties most investors overlook.

How is James planning on doubling his money even with high rates? By bringing back a once-popular investing strategy, James is creating a win-win no matter what direction rates go. You can repeat this, too, if you know his plan. Kathy shares how you can lock in a lower mortgage rate by buying new construction, freeing up cash flow all while having close-to-zero maintenance costs.

Henry shares some advice on why now is a solid time to think about selling the properties you don’t love and why high home prices can work in your favor whether you’re flipping, BRRRR-ing, or buy-and-holding.
