How to Build a Real Estate Portfolio That Actually...

The Canadian Real Estate Investor ·

2025/11/14

Is real estate passive?! We look at real estate investing strategies, ranking 15 different approaches from most active (fix-and-flip) to most passive (turnkey rentals, REITs, and syndications). We explore the spectrum of real estate investment strategies, emphasizing that true passive income requires either upfront work to build systems or choosing inherently passive vehicles from the start. The more you do yourself in real estate, the less passive it becomes—the path to passive income

Budget 2025's Impact on Housing, Immigration & Jobs

The Canadian Real Estate Investor ·

2025/11/11

Canada's Budget 2025 and its impact on housing policy. The hosts critique the $25 billion housing investment as insufficient, noting it includes infrastructure conditions, a limited GST rebate, immigration cuts, and controversial OAS spending — while the construction industry warns of job losses. The federal HST rebate on new homes up to $1 million only helps about 20,000 buyers per year nationwide — essentially a political soundbite rather than a broad affordability solution. BILD and

Canada's Housing Market in Neutral

The Canadian Real Estate Investor ·

2025/11/07

Canada's housing market in 2025 is stuck in neutral—not booming or crashing, but stagnant. Despite interest rate cuts, buyer confidence remains low due to employment uncertainty and immigration policy reversals, creating a prolonged stalemate between cautious buyers and reluctant sellers. We're also joined by some of our national event hosts for some boots on the ground updates. Toronto has seen home values drop 25% since 2022 with condo prices down 7.5% year-over-year, while Winnipeg posted

The Cowichan Case, Rent Control Reversal & The Bank...

The Canadian Real Estate Investor ·

2025/10/31

We cover three major shifts in Canadian real estate: BC Land Ownership: The Cowichan Tribes won a land title ruling in BC Supreme Court, challenging ownership certainty since 95% of BC is unceded land. This creates risk for developers and lenders due to legal ambiguity. Ontario Rent Control: The government quickly abandoned plans to consult on "security of tenure" rules, showing the political power of tenants — over 50% of Toronto households rent. This reflects a shift toward renter-driven

In this news episode, BMO warns that Canada's housing market has been falling for three years, similar to the 2007 US crash. Recovery will take a long time. CMHC says today's Toronto condo slowdown is different from the 1990s crash because lending rules are tougher and buyers are more financially tested, meaning things won't get as bad. On the positive side, the federal government plans to cut development charges in half in the November 4 budget. Canada's hottest housing markets have moved to the

Canada has a critical financial advice gap, where 51% of households are "unadvised" — a disparity that hits lower-income families hardest.

Through analysis of the CD Howe Institute's "Regulatory Reset" report, the hosts unpack how this advice gap affects mortgage decisions,

New Mortgage Rules Could Make It Harder To Buy Real...

The Canadian Real Estate Investor ·

2025/10/03

OSFI has finalized revisions to the CAR guideline, effective Q1 2026, which significantly impacts how banks treat mortgages tied to rental income. The key change prevents borrowers from reusing the same income to qualify for multiple properties, which will make it harder for small investors to grow their portfolios. The 50% borrower-income test is reaffirmed, but now income used for one mortgage cannot be used again for another property. This could reduce mortgage qualifying amounts from around

We discuss the return-to-office (RTO) trend in Canada and its impact on real estate markets. Employers are increasingly mandating office attendance and the resulting effects on urban centers, housing markets, and workplace dynamics are fascinating. Canadian employers (government, banks, telecoms) are mandating 4-5 days in-office by 2026, with downtown foot traffic still 43% below pre-pandemic levels in Toronto.

The Canadian housing market shows signs of recovery with five consecutive months of sales gains, but it's not a full-on boom. The Bank of Canada cut interest rates on September 17th from 2.75% to 2.5%, which will provide some relief to variable-rate mortgage holders, with another cut expected on October 29th.

Being A Millionaire In Canada

The Canadian Real Estate Investor ·

2025/09/09

What it means to be a millionaire in Canada in 2025, focusing on how inflation, real estate values, and wealth distribution have changed the significance of the million-dollar threshold. Due to inflation, $1 million today has significantly less purchasing power than in previous decades, with current dollars worth less than 4% of their 1915 value. Many Canadians are "paper millionaires" through home ownership but lack true financial freedom, as owning a $1 million home with a large mortgage doesn't
