Good point Karin,

Real estate investments are, by their very nature, more demanding than paying out $1000 + a year in mutual funds. That is not to say that real estate investments are not a good idea, just educate yourself because you can get burned (The same can be said for mutual funds...They are simply a popular, overinflated investment tool that is going to experience a major correction in the next few years).

As to David Baxters demographic information and his rebuttle on David Foot's book Boom Bust and Echo...he says the age baby boomers are not going to cause a huge decrease in housing demands and asserts that Foot missed some very critical and very basic demographic facts. Demographics and the Future of Housing Demand in Canada: The Myth of the Vanishing Purchaser is an interesting examination of the future for ground oriented housing in Canada. There is a future in real estate investment in Canada.
