When the property market is riding at all time highs as it is in Canada in the main cities currently, an investor is unlikely to be able to make short term profits in a market saturated with supply and struggling for demand…however, in such a market where first time buyers are unable to afford the first rung on the real estate ladder there are buy to let opportunities for the investor able to afford the outlay to purchase in demand rental accommodation.

Those who can purchase apartments and town houses in the most popular rental districts in Canada can buy into a sustainable rental income and enjoy capital appreciation on their real estate asset over the longer term. When there is a slow down in demand for property to buy there is often an increase in demand for accommodation to rent, this means that rental rates being charged rise and an investor can achieve an impressive income at such a stage in the cycle of the property market.
