Some tightening cycle. Rates are essentially the same as the beginning. I can see the headlines: "A return to 1% in order?" "Did the fed break the economy?" "Profits are sagging: Bring back the carry trade?" "Why don't American's save more?" "Real Estate Investing as a way to save Social Security?" On the bright side, at least it is getting harder for the realtors to pitch the classic "quick, buy now before rates go higher! ... they are at historic lows and can only go higher!" lol

Imo all it will take is for flipping to become not profitable. It doesn't have to produce losses, just not enough gains to be worthwhile. Then the fun begins. I think the interest rate story is defunct, it's now a weak economy story.
