The 2% inflation indicator is measured via the Consumer Price Index (CPI) which is controversial (https://www.investopedia.com/articles/07/consumerpriceindex.aspthere are many articles on this, but here’s a start) because this tool is believed to do a poor job capturing true inflation numbers and has been “adjusted” by the government numerous times over the past decades because they felt it overestimated inflation despite many other inflationary measurement tools indicating just the opposite, that is grossly underestimates inflation.

That means for every unit of energy consumed one unit of heat is produced.

I’ve done BRRRR and wholesaling as well, but they can be time consuming.

Ironically the free approach, with a little effort, was more successful.

Over these months, I quick-flipped a house, did three short-term private money loans, and am currently ironing out a 4-Plex house hack via an FHA loan, not mentioning the various deals that didn't play out or fell through (including a partnership for a trailer park at a tax foreclosure auction.

One of the buildings (ironically enough) was previously a pub but has been converted into a 3/1 residence.

Any odds that the lenders will eat up the costs or is this ultimately going to be passed onto the consumer/homeowner?

Our market has seen massive growth and with that new builds consume most of the labor you'll need. 

The lower cap rate on the new building is consumate with the lower risk, because its brand new and will have leas operating and cap ex costs, and because its going to attract a lower risk tenant base.
