(ARV value $100k to 250k) We’ve checked many, many, numbers over the last year… numbers always come out negative and nothing seems to work when we try and get money out to recycle.

I'm pretty sure she is just milking the situation, at least that is what experience tells me.

Recently, with inflation skyrocketing and mortgage rates bringing correction to the over-valued GTA market, I started to look elsewhere.It occurred to me that smaller cities that aren't subject to such hard land speculation and coupled with every-growing demand (e.g GTA, GVA), hold their values pretty stable throughout RE cycles - or at least don't get hit with such violent volatility.
