Based on everything you know about the history of your investment type and the best advice of the professional team you employ, ask yourself what the average and worst-case scenarios look like. If you can't live with the worst-case scenario, don't move ahead with the investment. Across Canada, real estate has returned on average 5.5 percent over the past thirty years. But perhaps you might be extremely unlucky and find yourself in a ten-year lull where the market returns only 3.5 percent. Keep this in mind (and stress-test for it) when deciding whether to borrow money to invest. [2017] - Calum Ross
