The Federal Reserve has just raised its key interest rate by 0.25%, bringing it to 3.75%-4%. This is the first increase since July 2023. For those of us who own or manage rental properties, these changes can influence everything from mortgage costs to potential returns. With inflation still above the Fed’s 2% goal, officials are hinting that another rate hike could be on the horizon later this year. The next review is set for October 27-28, 2026, when they’ll be reassessing both inflation and broader economic conditions.
