Glad to read others share my sentiments, @James Stockton.

Echoing the other sentiments - what works for one type of investor doesn't always work for another.

But anyway I kind of see that sentiment with the real estate agents  and wholesalers banting this subject around.But at its base unfortunately many are taught you need no money to do this.. they have no money. yet they represent to the sellers they do.. and this is just to me a moral and ethical issue and fraud straight up full stop.

I'm hoping it's the same sentiment across the board.

This explains why consumer sentiment has remained depressed despite unemployment being extremely low and inflation is down dramatically (9% to 3.2%).

Glad I came across your post, because I echo your sentiments, so I'll follow your discussion in the hopes to network with like-minded Canadian friends too :) 

It seems the current state is more so about the money then the sentimental value unfortunately.

I share the same sentiment as many of you, specifically @Henry Chi.  

I talk to national firms every day. the sentiment is overbuilt. maybe not for one person building one house but institutions are avoiding it now 

I feel like part of the reason is sentimental, we've lived here for 5 years and I've become a little attached.
