Speaking of hype/automagical numbers for Canada:

Personally, I'm not as keen on REI as you have ALL your baskets in the same basket. Heck, most of the time they're in the SAME city/location. (This is coming from somebody that does has a rental property btw, just more invested elsewhere.)
At the end of the day the biggest issue is that I value my time, REI can be a big black hole that way. But perhaps I'm biased on the other side of the spectrum. |
I scanned that quickly, but I'm pretty sure that we are arguing the same thing here. I am not saying that you can't make money with Real Estate, but I am firmly of the belief that there are other investments that you can make more money with, and with less risk.
