I wonder how many people who bought residential properties in Vancouver could be guaranteed of even a 2-3% return.

Commercial RE, from what I've heard, isn't much better. For commercial properties you're getting returns of about 6-7% in Metro.
dangerous thinking - S&P500 provides a historical real return of 7%

your comment above is as bad as ppl saying 'last two years my house has gone up 10%" - current performance is irrelevent, it's long term and risk exposure you have to consider.

though, i entirely agree with the general thought, diversified investment is the only kind of investment, everything else is speculation
