From my reading so far I’m looking at ETFs with WS, and that I should start with the TFSA. Am I on the right track and what do you recommend?

    OP, do not follow this advice. Housing is for shelter. As an investment, you’re putting all of your eggs in one basket, in one country, in one narrow local area, in a risky market. Even REITs historically underperform the humble broad-market index ETF.

    Do not drink the boomer kool-aid that it’s a magic get rich quick scheme and they’re super smart when in reality, they got lucky.

      Buy or build a duplex or split a house into apartments. You’re increasing housing supply and generating income at the same time.
