how is everyone dealing with the rising material increases?

Do they usually inflate claims to entice investment, or are they usually straight shooters when it comes to their analysis?

Low supply, strong demand, and rising interest rates are having everyone buy up all the existing inventory.

Mortgage companies are in the business of loaning money not foreclosing on performing loans and despite any tales you've heard about banks doing this when rates rise or fall I have never seen a  concrete example of that happening in all the years of me investing.

Part timers exit the business and average commissions rise.

They moved in a few days ago.I thought the experience was unusual because it looks like the rents SHOT UP.In fact, I firmly believe that it's true that rents for that particular apt in my buildings are much higher now in the Pandemic.I think this is that case because most of the buildings in NYC happen to be high rise buildings with Elevators.

could be the case. take Cleveland for example, Cliffs has been dumping a ton of money into the steel industry up there, and the population is rising for the first time in a while.

@Steven Barr It's true that most lenders require 6-12 months but amid rising rates we're seeing some commercial DSCR programs bringing back 90 day seasoning.  

It kind of blow my mind, but there's usually a correlation between rising interest rates and cap rates.

This puts continued pressure on real estate in their effort to curb inflation and make housing more affordable.
