Good ol' Banks! They think they run the show. That you'll just agree to whatever they tell you to. That was the case for me over the past couple of weeks as I was trying to refinance my 3 commercial, 2 residential multi-use building! On three different occasions, I didn't like their answer, which was NO. First no was regarding the valuation they were giving me on the building. It was about $30K less then even I had anticipated with conservative numbers. I immediately fire

Of course I'm biased and this is going to be about investing in real estate. However, not entirely. My point is, don't just invest where you're told to invest. I had a beer with a friend this Tuesday, and he was very excited because he had just sold his starter home and upgraded to a much larger, more expensive home. He took the $100K in equity he made, and just put it into this more expensive home (Don't get me started on this gameplan again )! I get it, this is what the

I don’t miss it! Yesterday we celebrated thanksgiving with a dinner at my wife’s Baba and Dedo’s home. Yes in Canada our Thanksgiving is earlier then the US Thanksgiving. Happy Thanksgiving everyone! But this isn’t why I’m emailing you, I'm emailing you to tell you about my Thanksgiving dinner. You see, my wife’s sister was there yesterday, showing up late because she had to work. And the whole time she was there, she was working, phone call after phone call. That's bec

I was with some people whom I hadn't seen in almost 6 years last night whom stopped by our house with my Aunt and Uncle whom they were visiting. The topic as always quickly switched to investing in real estate as they knew I owned a bunch of properties. They told me how there son wants to take the next step with investing in real estate, as currently he owns a small property that he had purchased couple years ago, and could just afford, and to put some extra money in his po

Came across this article the other day, which mentions how 44% of Toronto condo investors have negative cash flow, upwards of almost $1,000 per month, and the reason they are investing there is for appreciation. This is nuts to me. I've always shied away from these large markets, because: They are too expensive, They don't cash flow, and It's very risky to invest on speculation (hello start-up tech stocks these days UBER, can we say bubble)?
