How far from a city would people be willing to rent?

[Erik Pilon]

MoneySense says Brentford is the best choice for investing in 2018.

Costs are ok-ish in the 250,000 - 350,000 range for a 2-3 multi family.

But if I was looking for 150,000 while finger-crossing to stick with the “1% rule”, I’d be in the outskirts.

Then I got thinking “how far away are people actually willing to stay from a major city, and rent rather than buying?”

Thoughts?
