Although you can't hold physical property in a TFSA, there are some Mortgage Investment Corporations (MICs) including publicly traded ones that are private lending mortgage companies that you can invest within the TFSA. While most big banks doesn't let you do private lending in a TFSA, there are 2 companies that I've read that do this (Olympia Trust and Canadian Western Trust). Things to be careful about is that you can't be seen as conducting business operations within a TFSA and the fees associated with MICs, as well as risk of mortgage defaults - these are important to ask about. Here is a good article about it: wowa.ca/mortgage-investor-canada
If you can gain contribution room with appreciation of your assets in a TFSA, it should go the opposite way too if you have depreciating assets that you sell. Note that you don't lose the new contribution room that you get in Jan 1 each year.
@BreakingBadDebt You're great, but I'm a bit slow and don't want to make a mistake. My TFSA is $85K. I maxed contributed the past few Jan firsts. In 2023 I withdrew almost 9K in dividends, distributions, etc...to pay bills. Jan 1 2024 I contributed 7K. Can I tomorrow (Aug 2024) replace the 9K that I withdrew in 2023? You're a terrific teacher, thanks!
If you withdrew 9K from your TFSA before December 31, 2023, then in Jan 1, 2024 that 9K of room gets added to the usual 7K of room. So yes you can add it on Aug 2024.

Thank you for the video! Very clear and concise 👍
Thank you!
Hi there, thank you for explaining, what happens if you take money you earned from a hedge fund or day trading and place it in the TFSA?

Very helpful, thanks!
Csn you do private lending with a TFSA? Wouldn't that be considered real estate?

Appreciate your response and resource, and overall content. Thank you.@@BreakingBadDebt
Why do you lose contribution room if you sell at a loss?
If you can gain contribution room with appreciation of your assets in a TFSA, it should go the opposite way too if you have depreciating assets that you sell. Note that you don't lose the new contribution room that you get in Jan 1 each year.
Do you think it would be a good idea to save in both tfsa and fhsa?
For sure. If you have room available in both accounts and have extra cash, you should optimize the tax advantaged room in both!
