Derek Petridis, a 39-year-old chief financial officer at Shikatani Lacroix Design Inc. in Toronto, has loaded up on seven condominium rental properties over the past decade.
It may seem like he’s got an extreme bet on the housing sector, but a new survey shows he is far from alone, with about one in 20 Canadian households owning some type of rental property.
The study from Altus Group, which relies on research from the Financial Industry Research Monitor, considered highly accurate on a national basis, shows that among households earning more than $100,000, the rate on rental property ownership is about 10%.
