My real estate investing journey began almost a decade ago, even before I was a realtor myself. However, when home prices in Ontario increased so that investment opportunities were more challenging to come across, I started looking for new opportunities that offered more cash flow and long-term growth.
That search led me west—to Edmonton, Alberta.
Here's what make Edmonton stand out from an investment perspective:
✅ Affordable Entry Prices
✅ No Land Transfer Tax
✅ High Rental Demand
✅ Balanced Landlord Laws
✅ Tax Advantages
✅ Strong Appreciation Potential
Edmonton isn’t just affordable—it’s also dynamic and growing. With over 1.1 million residents, the city is fueled by industries like oil and gas, healthcare, education, construction, and a fast-growing tech sector.
Edmonton is also home to:
West Edmonton Mall: One of the largest shopping & entertainment complexes in North America.
Top Universities including University of Alberta, NAIT, and MacEwan University.
The largest urban park system in North America.
Over 50 major festivals & events a year celebrating art, music, food, and culture.
