Summary

Mortgage rates are up, which is good news for (almost) no one. Those who have built huge equity gains over the past few years now feel like they’re stuck at a crossroads. You could pull a cash-out refinance to buy another investment property, but with such high mortgage rates, is it better to wait out the market? This standoff between buyers, sellers, and the Federal Reserve have many investors confused about the next move to make. Thankfully, our in-the-field investing veteran, David Greene, is here to help.

Welcome back to another episode of Seeing Greene, where your host David answers questions on the spot from investors spanning every skill level. We’ve got video and text submissions this week, with topics ranging from whether to wait or buy now, how to push past negativity when you’re struggling to find deals, when to refinance while interest rates rise, asset protection basics, and much more. These in-depth answers from David will probably solve top-of-mind questions you may have too!

Hop on the BiggerPockets forums and ask other investors their take, or follow David on Instagram to see when he’s going live so you can hop on a live Q&A and get your question answered on the spot!

in a house hack depending which market that you're in. We talk about when you have equity what to do
