    #67 🎙️– The Future of Rental Property in Canada

    This week on The Everything Real Estate Show, Cody Kraus explores how rental property investing in Canada has changed over the past decade — and what the future may look like for landlords and investors.Looking back to around 2015, Cody explains how many investors followed the “1% rule,” buying single-family homes or condos that could cover their expenses and generate modest cash flow while tenants paid down the mortgage. Today’s market looks very different. Rising home prices, higher interest rates, slower rent growth, and challenges at the Landlord and Tenant Board have made traditional rental strategies far more difficult. Cody also touches on how investors adapted with basement suites, short-term rentals, and other creative approaches.
