You’ve probably heard from your real estate agent or even from the news that the real estate market is slowing down. Interest rates are higher than they were earlier this year and homes aren’t selling as quickly. But don’t let that discourage you! Now is actually an awesome time to be a buyer, especially for investors like you. Here are 3 reasons why I’m still investing despite higher interest rates.

1. Less competition - Higher interest rates may deter some buyers, but not you! As long as you can still cash flow with the higher interest rates, then it shouldn’t make much difference in your decision to invest. In fact, less competition could make it easier for you to negotiate better deals on properties and find those hidden gems that others have overlooked!

2. Seller incentives - The average time for a home to go off the market has increased due to the slowdown in sales, so most sellers are panicking a bit - which is great news for you! They may offer credit for buy downs or closing costs if they want their home off their hands quickly or if they want it sold before the end of the year - use this opportunity to your advantage!

3. Creative financing - Conventional financing isn’t the only way to secure financing these days. There are other forms of creative financing such as seller carrybacks, lease options, hard money loans and more that will allow you to buy properties without breaking your bank account open. With creative financing, there are plenty of opportunities out there waiting for you!

Despite what people may say about today's real estate market being slow, now is actually an awesome time to be a buyer and an investor - especially with all these incentives going around! The higher interest rates may seem daunting at first but don't let them stand in your way; as long as you can cash flow with them then there's no reason why investing should become any less attractive than it already is. With less competition, seller incentives and creative financing available too, what more could investors ask for? Make sure to take advantage of them all and get ready for huge returns on your investments!
