Opportunities Amidst High Interest Rates

The current high interest rate environment provides opportunities for rookie investors, despite challenges. With fewer buyers in the market, there is a chance to negotiate lower offers on properties that were previously competitive. Sellers, who are often anchored to past prices, may be more willing to entertain lower bids as they recognize market conditions have changed. This creates a unique opportunity for patience and persistence in finding favorable deals.
