My thought it most of us in the real estate game are here for the distinct advantages real estate has to offer from cash flow, appreciation, inflation hedge, tax benefits, etc.

Note the property values are low because they have not appreciated faster than inflation. 

I certainly wouldn't pay that much, so I am not going to repeat it here.MF property prices are inflated these days.

A huge spike in interest rates would be concerning.We are entering a period of increased inflation. 

@Edward Liu it's possible the #s are inflation adjusted, not sure as I went to the source page but couldn't find that specific chart there to check.In general, I have always told people, if you have your pick of areas of the country, I would not recommend Rhode Island.

Since the price is already quite inflated on these come the time to move in, you won't be able to rent it for anything close to the mortgage at $100,000 down, and this is assuming the housing market is in as good standing it is current day by time its developed, which is questionable if you look at the market fundamentals for Canada at large. 

This may be intuitive to many, but I see that HOAs tend to increase each year at a rate that is usually above inflation, which will hurt the profitability over time.

The market seems to be pretty inflated price-wise.

The inflated number provided by the broker likely includes home rentals.

Doubling the estate and gift tax exemption levels (with inflation adjustments) from the current $5.49 million for individuals or $10.98 million for married couples.
