Welcome to the Globe and Mail Personal Finance Reader. I m Rob Carrick, personal finance columnist at The Globe, and each week I compile a list of articles, blog postings, videos and websites that represent the best of what the online world has to offer on money-related subjects.
I know for a fact that real estate is a hot topic because people keep asking me about it. A Globe reader I recently ran into in the lobby of my office building asked about it. Dozens of people tossed in questions for an online discussion I recently did on mortgages and housing. A TV host who interviewed me recently went on and on about real estate as an investment.
