Following reports that younger Canadians are willing to make sacrifices to own a home, insolvency trustees say many should consider renting instead.

90%?

Oh my sweet summer child, rent is normally 150% of the mortgage.

Where?

Canada at least.

I can get a mortgage for an apartment for $1400 a month. Rent in the same spot would be at least $1800 if not $2000.

People buy housing to rent out because it’s profitable right away, they aren’t just “taking the risk” that the house might not go up in value.
