Even if renting makes sense financially, you need to decide if you want to be a landlord. Tenants can be a real pain **********. Trust me on this.

They were all purchased in the past 5 years but that really shouldn't be surprising. Even in Vancouver where prices/sf are higher than TO, landlords have too be able justify their cost of capital or they can't be in business. Rental prices have to keep up. Perhaps if you're buying a new 3 bdrm condo for $1,000/sf, you can't get $12k/month for it but most rental properties in good neighborhoods will trade for between 15-20X annual revenues so unless the lot value is enormously high and they are torn down to build single-family homes, there is only so much they can be worth.
