Hello, @Kate H. We have been quite busy with our full time business and taking care of our almost-one-year-old, but have come around on the idea of purchasing a duplex or triplex, keeping one unit for our use and then renting out the others. I know that there are specific tax implications (withholding of some tax up front, for example), and am fine with that, but I think our major concern is simply that of holding value/ appreciation. I know that if we were to eventually move full time we'd likely want to be in Westmount, but for this venture we've been advised that Le Plateau is probably our best options for something extremely rentable that will hold value. @Olivier LePage - would you say that's a good choice of neighborhood to get stable tenants and hold value for a longer term? I should probably also mention that aesthetically we are "old home" people - we love details like exposed brick, beams, etc. so we're not looking for an ultra-modern "cookie cutter". I realize that also might impact our search areas. Thanks!!
