Wait. Where are you seeing this rise in cap rates?
Cap rates for what property type?
I am just not seeing cap rates anywhere NEAR 2007 levels for any Class A/B property type (most are below 8, multifamily below 7!). Class C in some property types (8s-9s) are still beneath 2007 cap rates (which were in the 11s)

Has the industry set itself up for another disastrous value decline?
Probably, but that's because folks never learn. 3:)

No, it has not.

We always knew rates were going up in 2017.

CAP Rates vary from market to market, not all markets would concur with your #'s.

The Fed HAS to raise interest rates so they can lower them if the economy tanks again.

 

To the setup question, we're not to where anyone with a pulse can get a loan, but rental backed securities feel to me like another scam like mortgage backed securities.  Same concept, just different type of monthly payments.  Same possible problems.

Before the Crash, the Fed owned $0 in MBS.  Now they maintain an ownership of $1.8T in MBS; plus a boatload of Treasuries.  This next Short Sale Season who's gonna be the Note Holder? - The Fed, of course - because they haven't fixed anything so that real investors would want to own those MBS.

Every year is the same. We could have nother three years of strong performance, we could hit a wall, we could even go backwards. Nobody knows the future. My recommendation is to always make smart decisions based on what you know now, but also consider what you would do if the market improved or worsened.

This may be determined by your market. However, with lending practices so much better than they were in 2007, I don't see the scenario today that we had before the recession. In our market, we still have roughly 2 months of inventory and buyer are either living in their property, using it as an investment, or a second home. We do not see home flipping like we did in 2007.

The feds should raise rates but I heard they held off...At some point they will as the market is signaling that it can handle it. Decline worries should come about about from questionable rising tactics. So far, everything has been normal
