  • I was considering buying a house

    Hello Arelor!

    Earlier last year I was considering buying a house as an investment. The plan was to take a mortage and pay it using the dividends from my investments only - that way you end up with a house you didn't have but
    you don't de-capitalize yourself.

    But.. at the end of the mortgage process you'd end up with an asset - the house - and equity.

    As long as the housing market is stable enough that prices hold steady,
    or go up, instead of dropping..

    That might be a spooky bet in Canada at the moment..
