From my reading so far I’m looking at ETFs with WS, and that I should start with the TFSA. Am I on the right track and what do you recommend?

    Except when the bubble bursts, or the market turns.

    Buying a house now just before an election, where the subsequent Government will almost certainly take drastic steps to alleviate the housing crisis, is begging to lose significant value to depreciation.

    Buy a house to have a home? Absolutely. Buying one solely as an investment? I’d wait a year to see how the dust settles first.

      Who said become a landlord? Buy a timber tract, invest in home repair, appliance companies, and building contractors. Housing demand is way up right now. Sure there will be downturns, but I doubt there will ever be a Canadian housing bubble.

        A house is always worth a house.

        It was this tautology I took issue with. I do agree that there are many housing related ways to invest that are far less susceptible to market manipulation.
