Rent to purchase price is too low in Vaughan
There is not money to be made from operations from standard buy and hold single family (condo, etc..) rentals with standard leverage
A purchase in Vaughan could work with a specific value add project - very hard to find + requires cash and expertise - so for example purchasing a $600K house putting in $200K reno and getting $900K from it, etc...
For a standard buy and hold investment purchasing in Vaughan is a bet on long term appreciation only - as you will be subsidizing your operations on an ongoing basis
I'm not a fan of Kitchener, but I'd choose it over Vaughan currently
I'm very familiar with both area's and lived most of my life around York Region.
[quote user=ycheun2]Dear Adam,
I am a bit puzzled. Both Kitchener and Vaughan are featured in the TOP 10 ONTARIO to INVEST by REIN. Why do you think Vaughan is such a bad idea? I think the TTC Spadina line connecting to Downtown Toronto and the new Vaughan Metropolitan Center will be a big boost in housing demand. Maybe I am getting myself misunderstood in this?
What do you think of Kitchener at the moment?
