Thinking about turning your current home into a rental when upgrading to a new one? Before you commit, how do you know if it’s a smart financial move or a costly mistake?

Many homeowners face this dilemma when moving—do you sell your home and reinvest, or hold onto it as a rental property to build long-term wealth? In today’s episode, we break down a real listener’s Canadian financial crossroads: a dual-income couple with a low-interest mortgage and a growing family debating whether to keep their current home as a rental property. The challenge? Balancing cash flow, investment returns, and financial security while avoiding potential pitfalls as first-time landlords.

With rising interest rates, equity access considerations, and rental income projections, making the right choice isn’t always straightforward. We explore the key factors every homeowner should consider, from mortgage refinancing to the hidden costs of rental ownership, so you can confidently decide if keeping your home as an investment is the right move for you.

By tuning in, you’ll learn:

  • How to assess whether your current home makes sense as a rental property.
  • The risks and responsibilities of becoming a first-time landlord.
  • Alternative Canadian investment strategies that might provide better returns than holding onto your existing home.

Don’t make a costly Canadian real estate mistake—hit play now to uncover the best strategy for your financial future!
