Does Real Estate Investing Make Sense in Canada Anymore? - E34
Does the government want to kill housing rentals? With so many powers given to Canadian tenants in recent years, the sustainability to be a landlord has been called into question. In this compelling episode, Alex McFadyen dives deep into the tumultuous landscape of Canadian real estate investing, painting a vivid picture of the challenges and shifts faced by investors in recent years. The discussion zeroes in on the array of government policies introduced to cool down the market and address housing affordability, including provincial speculation taxes, federal flipping regulations, and stringent rent control measures. Amidst an atmosphere of growing negativity towards investors, fueled by both political rhetoric and public sentiment, we explore the implications of these changes for current and prospective investors. Drawing on firsthand insights and a critical analysis of the market response, this episode not only unpacks the hurdles but also highlights potential opportunities lurking in the shadows for savvy investors. For anyone wondering whether Canadian real estate still offers a viable investment avenue, this episode promises to shed light on the complexities of investing in a rapidly evolving landscape.
