Don’t let the interest rates deter you from owning real estate. If you can actually buy real estate you should Do It. This is San Diego where demand out weighs supply, so your equity will be protected. It is also a good time to TRADE UP to multi units. San Diego has a housing shortage and it will be like that for a few decades which is why owing several doors as passive income will build wealth.
Let me know what you are looking for and I will put you on the automatic “watch” and when you see something you like, we will make the seller an offer they can’t refuse.
