Is It a Good Time to Invest in Quebec? w/ Terrie Schauer and Axel Monsaingeon

Welcome to this week's episode as we grapple with the burning question: ‘Is It Now a Good Time to Invest in Quebec?’

We kick off the discussion by examining the potential 30% rent increase in the Montreal region over the next two years. Could this be a boon or a bust for prospective investors? 

The discussion continues by investigating the advantage that existing real estate investors may have in today's economic landscape. With the current situation in Quebec, are they poised for success, or are they facing unforeseen challenges? We'll unravel the truth and its potential implications for new investors.

Furthermore, Terrie and Axel will examine the potential rise of both new and existing real estate investors in Quebec. 

Is now the perfect time to buy more properties, or is there a hidden risk lurking around the corner? We'll discuss this and more, helping you make an informed decision.
