you rent it out, and you are pocketing 500$ every month after taxes and mortgage. With not much hope of great appreciation.

does that sound like a reasonable deal for getting your feet wet in the RE market?
Yes that is a great starter deal. Will you make $500/month? Nope. Will you make great cash over the long haul? Yep. You are in Canada. I thought they had shorter term loans then that. Hit me on icq if you want some help.
