Imagine you’re playing Monopoly, and one player already owns most of the houses. Every time someone else lands, they have to pay more and more rent. Even if you save your money and play smart, it’s really hard to catch up when someone else already owns everything.

Renting is the norm in cities like New York, Berlin, and Toronto — but staying a renter forever could mean missing your window to build real wealth. Let’s talk about how smart buyers are breaking in, even with high prices and limited savings.

Some are co-owning multi-units with friends or family. Others are turning basements into income suites or living in laneway homes behind their parents’ place. Many are starting small — with a condo, a less central location, or even a duplex outside the core. The first home doesn’t have to be forever. It just has to get you started.

Whether you’re holding, selling, or just watching from the sidelines, let’s talk about what’s coming next.
