Thank you for your replies. This is all very helpful in orienting my thinking. Much appreciated.

My apologies for the simplicity of the question. Why exactly, does a rising interest rate diminish the appeal of owning real estate for the purpose of renting or flipping (for investors)? One can assume this is due to the increased cost of borrowing and subsequent decrease in return but is this not equally true for competing investments classes such as equities or bonds? Just trying to understand why investors shy away from real estate in a "rate rising" environment.

Hey Canadian investors. Just a general question for those with some more experience in the Ontario markets.

I'm looking to make my first purchase in the GTA or as far as greater PTBO. We're looking to BRRRR our purchase as this strategy becomes viable again as the market begins to cool... albeit only slightly.

My question is general advice regarding this strategy while in a COOLING market. It seems risky to hold a property for a year while housing values begin moving in the negative direction. Maybe this is worry over nothing? Maybe this market simply forces us to take a hit on the reassessment? 

Any thoughts on this appreciated.
