Saving cold hard cash and looking to investments to grow your net worth or investing in real estate. Let's take a look today with Emily Miszk Mississauga's local mortgage broker.
I understand that investing in RRSP/Mutual Funds, TFSA, etc, makes sense for some people but you are missing out on a huge opportunity since you aren’t leveraging someone else’s money and only earning money on your own hard earned cash. Real Estate gives you the opportunity to put only 20% of the total property value and let someone else pay off the mortgage for you.
Here is a breakdown - the numbers don’t lie...
In order to show the difference, we need to compare apples to apples. In this example we will assume you are putting $400/month away into an RESP, RRSP, TFSA, Mutual Funds or Savings Account.
RRSP/RESP/Mutual Funds
$400 investment each month
12 months/year
15 years
4% Annual return on investment
$98,436 = Total Savings After 15 years
Real Estate Investment
$400/mth would be the approx. cost to borrow a $100,000 Down Payment
$400,000 Mortgage
= $500,000 Investment Property
15 Years Of Ownership
4% Annual Appreciation
= $900,471 after 15 years
Mortgage remaining after 15 years = $246,189
Equity created in property $654,282 - $100,000 Initial down payment $554,282 = Total Equity After 15 years
$98,436 vs $554,282 (560% Higher Return on Investment) But What if...
Real Estate only appreciated 2% instead of 4%?
Mutual Funds/RRSP/RESP return was 8% instead of 4%?
= $138,415(Investments) vs. $326,795(Real Estate)
188% Higher Return on Investment
