The culprit was a bowling pot of water with "tea leaves". 

Let me know when in town, and maybe we can meet for lunch or coffee/tea..

Look, over beers, watching my/your kids play at Clover Park, tea or meeting in front of a new listing, would be great.  

I don't know what the tea leaves are saying for your market in terms of appreciation or average days on market/salability in 3 years, but I'd probably lean toward holding another couple of years and renting either as an STR or MTR to maximize returns while still avoiding cap gains through the 2 of 5 rule. 

I recommend Victoria, BC - they have a fancy tea service at the Fairmont, and it's beautiful!

Almost any short sale in the a tea is going to have offers over asking regardless of DOM.

Not everyone's cup of tea, but works well for some circumstances.In the end though, consider that using a PM will likely have a significant negative effect on your returns after giving them 30-40%.

If for any reason you feel like that's not your cup of tea, read into states you feel are more your speed or interest.

That's investing for you—it's not everyone's cup of tea.

PPC works but its not my cup of tea because you have to continue to spend money which is not great.There are many ways of getting them to chase you but I have no time here to list them all.
