Well, so far so good. The U.S. housing market is getting hammered but Canada’s housing boom is still going strong. That’s good for me because I want to begin buying old homes and building mini-townhouse units on them (for a BIG profit, of course). But I have read so much negative news, even from Canadian journalists talking about how its only a matter of time before our booming job market will soon start to see shrinkage, and then our housing market will also tank. So far it looks likes this impossible, Canada is just too strong, but I want to ask other’s opinions first: 1 ) If you were me, would you go out and borrow a few million to sink into a housing project right now, in the hope that I could make a windfall profit in 3 to 4 year’s time from now? 2) Do you think that Canada is immune, and that our housing market is somehow better, and that we will weather this storm pretty good? 3) Where should I borrow the 1-2 million from? A regular bank, or private investors? Or where? ( I only have about $20,000 saved up, so I'm going to have to find some place for 100% financing: My friends tell me that money is easy to find and for the past few years all types of people have been borrowing with no money down, and I should too! )
