Investing in an asset class with low correlation to the stock market can reduce volatility and increase overall long term returns.

Does real estate make a good retirement investment? It certainly can, and many people have secured a comfortable lifestyle by building a portfolio of real estate properties. Real estate can be a good investment if you educate yourself and go about it the right way.
Our free retirement calculator will help you understand how much you’ll need to save for retirement. Get started by telling us about your current financial picture.
How does our retirement savings calculator work?
Our retirement savings calculator gives you an idea of what your retirement savings strategy can look like. It helps answer, “How much do I need to save or invest each month to reach my retirement goal?” and creates a detailed schedule with projected date-based investments and charts.
What questions does the retirement calculator help answer?
Our retirement savings calculator can help you answer all the questions that make your head spin, like:
- How much do I need to retire in Canada?
- How much should I have saved for retirement?
- How much will I have when I retire?
- Am I saving enough for retirement?
- How much can I spend in retirement?
A word of warning
Our retirement savings calculator is not financial advice; it is for illustrative purposes only and the results are estimates. The calculator may be a useful tool in helping you estimate how much you need for retirement, but you should understand that it has limitations. For example, the calculator does not anticipate or take into account future changes to government retirement programs or tax rates. Also, rates of return on investments may vary.

FAQs
The minimum investment amount ranges from $5,000 through to $250,000. Each investment offering or project has its own investment minimums.
Each project varies in offering size. For the larger offerings, we work with the borrowers or project sponsors in determining the optimal minimum investment size.
Yes! However, only specific offerings will accept or are eligible for registered accounts. Each offering clearly indicates if it is eligible for registered funds. In order to invest from your registered accounts, we will assist investors with setting up the related TFSA, RRSP, RRIF, etc. accounts with a third party trust company.
Fundscraper aims to provide its registered users with a diverse selection of private real estate investments offered by a variety of issuers. We specialize in investment offerings for first and second position residential mortgages as well as commercial bridge financings. We also offer investment opportunities outside of Canada.
Fundscraper on your behalf takes the same actions as any other responsible lender. We first work with the borrower to assess what the obstacle to repayment might be. Once we understand the situation, we can work on a solution. If there is no reasonable solution, then we take steps to enforce the security. The value of the security is typically less than the value of the assets we have registered security against. Therefore, if we do have to enforce the security, it is our expectation that there will be sufficient valuable real estate to fully discharge what the defaulting borrower owes which include the expenses incurred enforcing the security.
Let’s build a better real estate portfolio together.
