Thanks Thomas for the insight. Pretty helpful. It doesn't matter to me if the house went up a few percentage points more or less in a city than in another say one 35% the other 40% as the numbers would be close to each other but what matters is if one city went up 35% and another one 60% or 70%...

I have some TFSA and RRSP invested in mutual funds in one of the big banks where I opted for conservative risk when I signed the contract with the adviser. It has been over 4 years now and when I do the math for the annual compounded return it turns out it's 2% to 3% which is nothing to me. Any...

Thomas that is generally speaking which I fully understand. But If you were to buy today one property to hold for 10 years and hoping for the best price growth after the 10 year period which city would you choose first, second and third if you had the choice between Vancouver, Toronto and Calgary?

Good morning REIN members. I'm just curious to hear what the experts and analysts have to say about where each major city will be headed in terms of house price appreciation in the middle to long term. I have been doing lots of research lately to just try and figure out what we could expect from...

Hi again Thomas. As I have been browsing SFH in Calgary the last few days I remembered You recommended in an older post not to buy TH in the north east. I just wanna make sure if you meant all types of homes or only TH and if you don't recommend north east in general I understand you would...

One more question Thomas if you don't mind. If in Calgary where do you think would be great locations for condos. I can afford SFH in Calgary but what is drawing my attention to condos is that I've been following up on the statistics on the website of the real estate association of Calgary and I...

That's invaluable information Thomas. Thank you so much.

Hi Thomas. I noticed you don't like condos if I'm not mistaken and I understand you. I wanna ask you about something regarding condos though which is if you have no choice but to buy a condo what would you do? The reason I'm asking this is because I want to invest either in Vancouver or Toronto...

Hello. I'm thinking about investing in the kitchener Cambridge Waterloo triangle or Barrie or Hamilton. So if you were to pick one for the medium to long term price growth with a bit of stability in the unlikely event of an ec0nomic downturn which one would you pick?

I have a mathematical question. You guys say the higher the demand the higher the price but what I can't understand is the following. Let's say a house is listed for 500 k and there is one buyer that can afford only 450 k which means the buyer won't be able to buy the house. Now if we bring in...

For the last few days or so I have almost gone through every single news or forum article on the new rules with the respective comments on the topic by thousands of people online and what I don't understand in the comments is there's lots of comments that people specially first time home buyers...

Thanks Cory for your advice. Much appreciated. I will be checking Edmonton out again as well among other possibilities.

Thank you Thomas and Rickson for the advice. Pretty much appreciated. I'm gonna look at the possibilities in BC and the states as well. I am wondering though what effect could the US to CAD exchange rate have on an investment in US because if we do the math for instance if I buy a property in US...

Hi Thomas. I live in Edmonton but I don't mind investing in other cities if it's better because even if I buy in Edmonton I'm not going to take care of the property personally. Wherever I buy I will hire a property manager for 100% of the time. It will cost some money but this wouldn't matter...

Hello everybody. I'm almost new to this forum and real estate investing. I've done lots of research though and apparently I can't seem to be able to make a decision because the more I read online the more it gets complicated for me. I have always wanted to invest in rental properties but...
