Ottawa/Toronto is for investors simply looking to park excess cash.

It seems I have an 'out' on paying the excess in the water bill. 

Very large losses monthly.You are holding for appreciation therefor you must have a planed point in time to sell otherwise you are not investing you are simply parking excess cash.

Mold remediation can easily run $15,000 to $30,000 and since it’s a condo you don’t know where the source of the excess moisture is coming from.

I am focused on management vs. acquisition since it is just getting beyond ridiculous in Minneapolis and I don’t personally have the excess cash to jump in.

Let’s not subjugate him to the whims of the stock market, excessive information with really intentions of selling books, let’s be the real deal to Joe!

For one, that would be a gift in excess of $14,000, which exceeds the annual gift limit. 

Texas has a lot of opportunity but be careful when you buy, I hear that you can get in trouble as an investor in the event you buy too high because Texas' appreciate rate is one of the lowest in the country due to the fact that there is so much land there's excess supply and little demand even in today's market!  

Highly leveraged players will get knocked out first, large players with deep pockets will weather the storm and will start to acquire the excess supply.I had a very interesting conversation with a guy who's job it is to crunche numbers for REITs and pension funds - they will go all across the country for a solid 3% ROI.

The only reasonable explanation I can find is they are supplementing with J.O.B. income, or perhaps living off the excess borrowed funds..Some part of their story is missing.
