Rapid rent and price growth only occurs when there is sustained and significant population growth.

People were saying the market was going to crash, it wasn't sustainable, etc. 

Hi William - The nuclear plant, Whirlpool Corporation, and Lakeland Medical are currently among the greatest contributors to the sustaining the population and the quality of it's contributors to the community. 

We have some clients that are successfully purchasing tillable ground outside the donut counties and we have been successful doing a few mixed-use developments with infill but haven't found that model to be sustaining. 

If your market or property can't sustain the $100 premium, then go with $50. 

I'm pretty handy and want to dive into house hacking, and I'm also able to sustain myself and pay for expenses while I do it through my remote job. 

San Mateo has seen 12% appreciation this year, which in my eyes in isn't sustainable.

No, the rents are set by the rest of your street..... it cash flows now, but if rents drop you're less likely to be able to sustain it.

Also, I'm really interested in green building/sustainable building/community development.

Hi there,on a more general note: does the current boom in the Kamloops are appear to be sustainable, i.e. what's the main driver?
