The Real Estate Retirement Plan: An Investment and Lifestyle Solution for Canadians - Paperback

by Calum Ross (Author), Simon Giannini (With)

A Globe and Mail Bestseller!
A guide for Canadians on how to use real estate as an investment and retirement solution.

Leveraging equity in a principal residence and using it wisely to purchase rental property is the solution to a safe, secure retirement for millions of Canadians.

Many Canadians who own their home have never considered buying a second property. And nearly one-third of retirees are worried about running out of money. The Real Estate Retirement Plan shows how homeowners can use the tools already available to them -- their mortgages -- to access the initial capital to invest and prepare for their retirement. This is a proven, validated antidote to today's historically low savings rates, poor current rates of return, and pressure on CPP and health care.

With examples and a detailed discussion of the principles and mechanics, Calum Ross and Simon Giannini demystify real-estate investing and make an irrefutable case for borrowing to invest.
