Last week, I recommended investing in your Principal Residence before thinking about other investments. Your lifestyle would improve and all of your appreciation would be tax-free! Read part #1: "What's the best investment?" But let's say you're already happy with your existing home. What should you invest in next? My recent clients were exactly in that situation. They wanted real estate...
I'm often asked about which type of investment property will return the largest profit. Is it pre-construction, condos or single-family homes? I always answer the same way: "Firstly, have you thought about maximising your primary residence before you buy an investment property?" In Canada, when you sell your home, you don't pay any taxes on the profit you make - at least for...

You may be thinking, sure, it only happened for the past 10 years, but will it happen again this year? We won't know for sure until the stats come out in September. All I can say is in the past week:• I've had 80 sets of tenants contact me•...
We recently sold this amazing 4-bedroom home in Mississauga for +$200k over asking with 7 offers and more than 50+ showings. Many sellers and their agents feel they just need to "put it on the MLS and it will sell itself". It might sell, but you are probably leaving money on the table. There's so many different things that you have to do to maximize the value. A Good Product A Lot...
