Soffit vent direction

My soffit vents face out although I have read on several sites that the fins should face towards the house. It seems like it would allow more airflow. How bad is this.

I don't think the air cares which way the fins face. Anyone who says different is splitting hairs. Aesthetically, you face the fins toward the house so that you can't see right up them.

I agree, there is a slight chance with rain blown wind that a drop or two might come thru the vent ... but highly unlikely.
