註釋The objective of this project was to identify the reasons that lead investors to include rental properties in their portfolios. The work consisted of a review of the literature addressing the choice of residential rental properties as investments and the place of such investments within investor portfolios. The consultant therefore had to present the different theories and approaches serving to determine the criteria used by investors. This review first revealed the lack of reliable data on real estate return. Without such data, the empirical properties of this type of investment, and particularly its diversification effect, cannot be established accurately. The absence of any Canadian studies on this subject is also noted. In spite of these findings, certain studies tend to demonstrate that taxation related to rental housing investments has had a significant impact on the inclusion of such investments in investor portfolios. There is also the strong correlation between real estate return and inflation that may have encouraged investors to include such investments in their portfolios to protect their return against inflation.
