Publisher's Summary
A National Bestseller! Why be house poor when you can rent rich?
“Why rent when you can buy?” More than any other, this phrase captures the overwhelmingly unanimous promotion of home ownership to Canadians. Real estate agents, mortgage brokers, family, friends, and even the government promote ownership as a safe, attractive, and sure-fire path to personal wealth. This one-size-fits-all advice ignores the reality of Canada’s housing market.
Canadians deserve better advice.
Faced with expensive house prices in a near-zero interest rate world, it’s time Canadians heard the virtues of renting and seriously considered renting as an alternative to home ownership. Real estate analyst Alex Avery insists renting offers a simple, more affordable way to live, plus in Canada’s frenzied housing market, going month-to-month is dramatically lower risk. He claims the reputation of home ownership as a wealth building strategy is unfounded and shows renters how to replace bricks-and-mortar with better investment opportunities.

Valuable Information
I originally bought the paperback of this book a few years ago. I've recommend it to several friends and family. So glad there's an audio version now. Narrator does an excellent job.

A Useful Perspective with Performance Issues
The narrator seemingly skipped some words and intoned others in a weird way, tonally ending the sentences before saying all the words. I found this distracting and even hard to understand at times.
This book provides a cool-headed analysts of the frenzy around home buying and encourages you to step back and think strategically. I find that piece incredibly valuable.
