This is a community to discuss the housing crisis in Canada.

All so Canadians can find a decent home to live in.

Racism is still absolutely prohibited, but you are welcome to debate population growth, immigration rate, foreign home buyers, and the merits of single family homes or the green zone.

A merge of r/canadahousing and r/canadahousing2 for those coming from Reddit.

Bits of the sidebar and logo taken from those subs and will be going through a slight revision as things get settled.

You can absolutely rent your house out while it's still under mortgage, most rentals are not paid off. The profit starts coming in later. 10 years from now your mortgage will be the same, but rent will be $1000 more per month. Plus you're getting someone else to pay off a major asset for you.
