In Canada, real estate investing has yielded solid returns for many years, but is the current housing market making investors nervous? After all, the last thing you want to do is buy an investment property in a housing bubble.

Eric Chang is my guest this week. He's been investing in real estate for over 10 years, purchasing his first rental property at age 24. He now owns a portfolio of rental properties in Southern Alberta. Eric joins me on the show to discuss, among other things, how real estate investing can lead to financial independence, and how to stress-test a rental property before you buy and figure out your personal risk profile.
