Best Place to Buy real Estate in Canada

[Coban Scott]

Does anybody have an idea on the best places in Canada for a new real estate investor to start out? I have heard Calgary is a good place because of prices but does anybody have any insight on where you can get the best deals?

I don't think there's a single source to get good deals. But the most accessible is obviously the MLS. You can look at Zillow, Realtor.ca, etc to filter through the listings. I'm in Calgary and the best deal I got was from the MLS. I have also bought from a neighbor and such but unless you have some boots on the ground, your best bet would be finding a realtor you like and/or search the MLS.

Edmonton is 300km from Calgary and colder 😉

 I also disagree with the assessment on price. Calgary (Alberta in general) is not land locked. The prices in AB will increase but will almost always be cheaper than Vancouver and Toronto.
