With one of the greatest wealth transfers in Canadian history underway, this book takes you off the sidelines and gets you thinking proactively about how your real estate can shape your retirement and benefit your family for generations.
Take a journey through the three key stages every retiree faces and start thinking differently about your most valuable retirement asset: real estate.
Before retirement
, discover how to unlock hidden potential and align property with your future lifestyle and income needs. Avoid common missteps that quietly erode your financial performance and result in missed opportunities.
During retirement
, learn how to simplify your holdings to reduce unnecessary costs and create reliable cash flow, all while building peace of mind. By placing a wedge between your income security and market volatility, your home can become a source of stability, not stress.
In estate planning
, take a proactive approach to ensure your property transitions smoothly, tax-efficiently, and according to your wishes. Protect your legacy and prevent family conflict before it begins with clear communication, simple legal tools, and thoughtful planning.
The government makes a living off what we leave on the table.
