In this episode, Max Moore and Tyler Lingle tackle one of the most misunderstood questions in real estate investing and home buying:Should you ever buy a property based solely on interest rates?

With rates hovering around the 6–7% range, many buyers feel frozen on the sidelines—waiting for “better” conditions. But is that actually the smart move?

In this conversation, we break down:

- Why interest rates matter far less long-term than most people think

- The difference between buying a primary residence vs. an investment property

- Why location, purchase price, and cash flow beat rates every time

- How the 3% rate era distorted buyer psychology

- What today’s supply-and-demand dynamics mean for negotiations

- When higher rates can still produce excellent deals- Why “just waiting for rates to drop” can actually cost you more

They also share real-world examples—including buying an investment property at 8% interest—and explain how to properly evaluate deals using math, not emotion.

If you’re thinking about buying a home, investing in real estate, or just trying to understand how rates actually affect long-term wealth, this episode is a must-watch.
