While contractor availability and supply chain slowdowns are challenges, they plan ahead by securing labor and materials early and building in project buffers.

prices are high, interest rates are high, there is tremendous demand for inventory by both retail / primary buyers and investors, good contractors are booked up, some materials are still expensive. ' can't we just be honest that (1) if you are in a strong financial position, then yes, RE is still a good investment and ALSO  (2) it's way more difficult than it was in 2016? 

I felt that it was very well done, covered a significant amount of material, had a friendly and motivational feel, and was a good experience and a worthwhile value for $1500.

That's $1,000 plus materials.

If the pumper pulls out inappropriate material you can address with tenant. 

Taking the time to plan and invest in quality materials or professional help usually pays off with fewer repairs and greater peace of mind.

Portfolio loans, asset-based lenders, and home equity lines of credit are all alternatives to traditional borrowing.

I live in Brampton ON and am relatively new to Real-Estate but willing to work hard, so looking to connect with Greater Toronto Area (GTA) specific meet-up groups and learning material to take my passion in real-estate further.

Agree with @Ian Ippolito 100% based on my experience in fund formation and product development in private alternatives.
