  1. Bro, we are stuck in property market in Canada, the rental yeild, cash positive will all go for a toss with the current situation.. Also, the moment renter stops paying, you are nuked.. You are required to pay EMI by law and provide full services to renter even if he stops paying rent

  2. Converting CAD to INR at prevailing exchange rates is absolutely stupid. Need to adjust for cost of living through PPP conversion. And this is apparently a finance channel. Also, need to look at intangibles. Clean air, low crime, social security, public healthcare, HDI parameters, excellent infrastructure, free speech, overall cleanliness, high civic sense of citizens. And why the fuck does he need to hire a cook or help? Do it yourself.

  3. He is showing a cozy picture, which is not necessarily true. There are huge, real, and probable risks involved. Being a landlord is a hussle in Canada. Tenants may choose not to pay rent, and you'll spend thousands of dollors in their eviction, losing 3 to 12 months of rent. If one partner is on maternity or loses his/her job, you come hand to mouth easily. House maintenance and monthly utilities are high. Your social and personal life is mostly on weekends. So many variables are there.

    Despite all this, Canada is promising compared to India. Come to Canada.

  4. Canadian housing market is in worst situation right now brother. People are filing bankruptcy because not able to pay EMI. Rents are going down. Builders are giving discounts on properties. This is the real situation. Converting Canadian income to INR looks lucrative, but expenses are high. So at the end savings is not possible.

  5. Guruji @ 27:42
    you are suggesting to sell one house which will give him 2500-3000 a month extra

    Howwwww ????

    If he sells his living home he will pay same amount in rent
    If he sells rental home he will get nothing (rent is paying EMI)

    If you now try to be over smart and change your wording by arguing he will get capital appreciation then Canadian Real estate is more than 20% down

    Guruji🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

  6. This guy Anshuman should have done basic homework about how to do Purchasing power parity and not direct CAD to INR conversation, he's lost my attention there itself. The guest is quite humble thinking back of mind ki ye bandha direct conversion kyu kar Raha hai 😅

  7. Basic things people don’t say is – health care is free and government provides it. So taxes you pay are used for free healthcare. Companies in Canada provide health insurance to use private healthcare. So they don’t prioritise people with viral fever, your criticality is what decides the treatment. I know people who got heart surgeries done for free. Unlike , India or US where you have to pay insurance in advance and get treatment. I don’t understand why a lot of NRIs diss on healthcare in socialist countries where healthcare is provided from your taxes.

  8. This guy is in a very NRI problem where we all want to move back in next 3-4 years. But if you ask anyone that 3-4 years never come. Once you start setting up roots in another country pulling everything out is never easy. Once kids grow up it becomes almost impossible.

  9. After earning this much, the guy doesn’t seem confident. You don’t need money to start a business, all you need is confidence. But he is in good shape here, he should really start saving more. My friend is earning $3200 after tax but he saves $2200. Of course the lifestyle is much much different, but this guy is not good at saving. Good luck for your future.

  10. I live in Canada he didn't factor in real estate commission which would be 25k for 600k home. And homes are depreciating here. Also the market outlook is really bad.

  11. Whats messed him up is Canadian real estate. Properties are down 20% or more, condos are down even more and good luck getting a tenant these days. Rents dropped 10% in one year. He cannot possibly sell without losing all his equity and more.

  12. Thanks Anshuman for the NRI series. People in Canada really need it since cost of living is super high.

    Just curious on why did you ask him to invest in Indian mutual funds with his remaining savings after TFSA investment.
    Why not US ETFs or stocks?

  13. Bhai market down pada Hain 20-50%
    Kahaan ka profit
    Andar se ro rahaan Hain 😂
    Daala huva downpayment or mortgage payments bhi Nahin milega
    SAB Kuch swaaha
    Is market main agar chaddi banayan bhi miljaaye to Badi Baat Hain

  14. I am an NRI living in Canada. The numbers provided were very relatable and true.

    If you are watching in India and converting to INR and thinking this is a "flex your finance", think again, there are a LOT of sacrifices made to even get into a savings mode even at this income level as Canada is an expensive place.

    Staying away from family, healthcare issues (mainly wait times not cost), harsh winters, no house help etc. are downsides. But there are various upsides like work life balance, AQI, infrastructure, people around you following rules, great roads, opportunity to save if your diligent, good free schooling for children as govt schools here are fantastic and on and on.

    Grass appears greener on the other side but more than his finances, Canada offers intangible benefits more than 1:1 more money than India.
