You can get stuff done but generally at a little slower pace, even the interior. 

You can take classes in person, follow from via livestream, or go at your own pace via online learning.I took a 9 day course and passed the school, state, and national tests all in about a month.

I'm also concerned with whether the low income rent limits will continue to increase at a similar pace as inflation.

Usually low inflation is good for stability but wages never keep pace with higher inflation and costs are rising quickly, e.g. gas and food, so, with household income remaining steady, late payments will rise, putting notes in jeopardy.In these times, cash and junk silver are safe, all else are speculative, including gold and real estate.

How can I increase my real estate investing pace?

Ontario poses a challenge as rents can't be increased to market... case in point, the ON gov just announced a 1.2% permitted increase on rents next year... not even keeping pace with inflation.
