If the financing is structured properly, purchasing a business can have a Rate Of Return of 100%, and a lot of times greater than that.

And I agree, with the coming lending rules being put in place by CMHC, I suspect you'll see the ROR drop on real-estate investors. It won't hurt them as much as it will hurt Condo speculators though who buy at the very beginning by placing a small mimimum $$ down and then sell before the condo is even built...and frankly I think that's a good rule to put in place IMO. That type of speculation was creating its own Condo bubble...Calgary is a good example of it 2 years ago.
