Book and Weblog ? Authored by Garth Turner ? Greater Fool ? Authored by Garth Turner ? The Troubled Future of Real Estate He seems pretty legit based on the fact that he actually was an MP, and one of influence during the Kim Campbell era...head of CRA I think, based on memory. It can be entertaining, annoying at times but it does get you thinking in a different direction on real estate, and is like a cold shower after hearing the cheesedog MLS folks talk on the news.
I read a lot of the real estate subs on reddit and I find them to be fairly good on different thinking. A lot of it is US based, and is more detail oriented as in solving paperwork issues and such.
Then in terms of personal interest, I follow the local rental scene myself as it relates to work and such. And for that, I try to get people that are involved in it, talking about it and just weed through, listen and learn. And I've come to the conclusion that this is a rarity, as most are more interested in the sound of their own voice, instead of listening to others.
