I just sold my apartment and I'm now saving for a house. I have 50,000.

What's the best way to grow this (at a low risk)? I've heard patients tell me they make 10-12 % in returns but I'm not sure if they take really high risks because I'm not much of a risk taker.

I know it'll take a few years.

What are some good books or blogs related to investing/trading in Canada? I know nothing about it.

Apologies if this is stupid ignorant, I'm in healthcare, not finance so it's new to me. TIA!
