Key Takeaways:
"I had all the bells and whistles, a defined benefit pension, RSPs, OAS, CPP, outside investments, but I really had just turned the money over to other people I didn't have any control. And I was looking for that one specific thing that I could actually do that I felt I had some control over. And investment real estate, when I did my research fit that bill." - Rick Harris
"What would I do differently if I was to start over again? First of all, I wouldn't buy the white picket fence; I would buy a duplex or a bungalow. And the other thing I do is I would go and get a part-time job, even if it was three hours a week, and put that money down towards the principal." - Rick Harris
"Don't give up your day job, don't give up your career; you have to have a comfort level. And I'm also not suggesting having all your eggs in one basket. I didn't grow up with that philosophy, I think you should be diverse." - Rick Harris
