The pricing is the perfect capitalist system: supply and demand. 

As long as the world’s supply of land is diminishing and people need homes to live in, it's bound to be stable.

Frustrations exist in supply-chain and adoption, but many solutions are surfacing.

@Rory GalvinI don't have any experience banking or investing in Canada, so take what follows with a grain of snow.Gross income is your rents collected.Expenses include: Advertising, travel, cleaning and maintenance, commissions, insurance, legal fees, management fees, mortgage, repairs, supplies, taxes, utilities, depreciation, vacancy, capital expenditures.Gross income less expenses equals your cash flowCash flow divided by cash invested equals your cash on cash return which is the "yield" you should be comparing with other investment opportunities.If the max yield you can see yourself getting in real estate is 5%, then you aren't ready for a deal yet.

Covid 19 was a challenge, simply for a supply issue.
