Apartment Investing for a newbie

[Marc-Antoine Tessier]

Hi everyone, this is my very first thread on BP as I'm just starting my education on Real Estate to one day live off of it!

As I'm learning from a lot of sources, I started looking in my area (Quebec, Canada) for future properties to invest in. What surprised me is that there's a lot more apartment for sale than houses (about a 4-1 ratio). There's not a lot of videos on buying an apartment and then renting it as a way of investing, so I wanted to know if it was even a considerable path to take or if I would just be losing my time and money ?
