Real estate agents, mortgage brokers, family, friends, and even the government promote ownership as a safe, attractive, and sure-fire path to personal wealth. This one-size-fits-all advice ignores the reality of Canada’s housing market. Canadians deserve better advice.Faced with expensive house prices in a near-zero interest rate world, it’s time Canadians heard the virtues of renting and seriously considered renting as an alternative to home ownership. Real estate analyst Alex Avery insists renting offers a simple, more affordable way to live, plus in Canada’s frenzied housing market, going month-to-month is dramatically lower risk. He claims the reputation of home ownership as a wealth building strategy is unfounded and shows renters how to replace bricks-and-mortar with better investment opportunities.Of Related InterestRich by ThirtyLesley-Anne ScorgieThe Modern Couple's Money GuideLesley-Anne ScorgieThe Real Estate Retirement PlanCalum RossBusiness and Retirement Guide to BelizeBob DhillonWhen the Bubble BurstsHilliard MacBethReviews There’s a cure for this nation’s narrow-mindedness about renting instead of owning a home.
