@dollarsanddata One exception is when one is developing the basement and rents it out. Typical reno cost of $45k and unit can yield $12k-$14k annually in our area. 25-30% return, so can't beat that. Not scalable though. The owner lives on the upper floor, so it is easier to watch the property.

Even if your rental properties do outperform the market (unlikely), when you include the "return on hassle", it's not even close.
The cost of your time, dealing with tenants, etc., is far higher than a few percentage points a year.

Caleb Hammer reveals his biggest money mistake was buying rental properties instead of investing in the market “I made decent money, but I would have made so much more money by just being in the market instead of focusing on that. My rental properties back in my home state, I am fully exiting them and just putting the money in the market.”

@AravindSitham Aim for 10%, plan for 6%...is that a no-go zone as well?

@CompoundQuest Fair! That is the one thing I would consider but still requires a whole different level of study/communication/understanding.

@AravindSitham I have always felt uncomfortable investing in this space. Leveraged portfolio of sub-prime mortgage never really inspired confidence. In the absence of mark-to-market, everything looks a straight line up into the right. It has the potential to behave like Thanksgiving Turkey.

@Tablesalt13 Speculation by who, you?
There is zero indication whatsoever that TFSAs are being changed.
This is terrible fear mongering.
Be better.

@MarkMcGrathCFP Yes, and the biggest difference maker is #3. Power law 💥

There are 3 essential ingredients to building wealth.
1. A decent savings rate
2. Reasonable investment returns
3. Time
You have the most control over #1.
Focus on that.

@AravindSitham In other words, buy your own "life put" so you can enjoy the "fed put" lol 😆

@MarkMcGrathCFP The last dance (selling out of apple near top with roughly 27% of company's market cap in cash) is cherry on top.

@MarkMcGrathCFP Wish you all the best in this endeavor! Look forward to hearing your experiences and feelings through this journey
