Quick question, what if :
– interest rate goes up to 10% ?[
]
– vacancy rate goes up to 8% ie. 10% and up to 30% of your properties would be vacant ?[xx(]Wouldn’t any of the above factors start a chain of actions that could burn your house of cards down a la Alan Bond scenario ?
I would appreciate it very much to hear all your inputs, just to calm the nerve a bit.

This is why it’s usually recommended that you have access to a LOC or have some money in an easily accessible investment, such as shares, as a contingency.
Also, once you have a few cashflow positive properties on the go, your overall risk is lower, because you can cover a couple of non performing properties with the surplus from the others.
I’ve already found this – my 4th wrap property is only just settling, and yet last month payments from the other 3 covered the costs of all 4. That was nice! This situation should only improve with more houses.Keep smiling
