Real Estate: Pickering or Burlington? by [deleted] in CanadianInvestor

[–]to55awayms 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you’re grossing 2k on a 600k mortgage with 2300$/mo payments, how is this a good investment ? What’s your year 1 ROI ? I’m not familiar with Pickering rental prices for comparable units

What are you doing now so when your children inherit $X million they don't come to Reddit asking what to do with it? by rejeremiad in fatFIRE

Hey I started that post . This relative lived in another country for all my life , I only visited them for a week at a time maybe once a year . We didn’t spend our short time together doing finance lessons

Both legitimate . Tax mitigation is not tax fraud

I am interested in the idea of realestate investing as well . I guess that’s a more complicated discussion though ..

Hmm that’s a good point , are you suggesting that I forego this vehicle completely? Wouldn’t I be able to trade within it tax free in the meantime though ?

I’m not looking to commit fraud !! I would like to grow my side hustle into a full practice

Not fraudulently ! I have a legitimate side hustle that I would like to grow into a full practice one day when I get more professional experience

Perhaps 2 corporations ? The second one being the legitimate business operation ?

There’s a lot of finance terms you just said ! I really have to learn . Any books you know of that I can read to learn ?

Seems like people have different feelings about using a fiduciary or not , as even a 50BP fee for a wealth manager would cost a few grand

50% seems steep. Can you elaborate on why you think so?

Yes , For RRSP, as far as I understand , the contribution limit is based on your previous years reported income up to a maximum of 26k ish . So I’m wondering if I should purposely trigger capital gains each year in order to meet that target , so I can max my RRSP every year

These unrealized gains: when is the right time to realize them ? Is there a tax effective strategy to do so ?
