Fingers crossed 

MoneySense says Brentford is the best choice for investing in 2018.Costs are ok-ish in the 250,000 - 350,000 range for a 2-3 multi family.But if I was looking for 150,000 while finger-crossing to stick with the “1% rule”, I’d be in the outskirts.Then I got thinking “how far away are people actually willing to stay from a major city, and rent rather than buying?”

It seems like a lot of work but, in the Internet Age today, the information is at the tip of your fingers.

And sorry for all the backstory... but it’s my story and I feel it’s important and relevant to my itchy trigger finger scenario.

@Jay HinrichsWell, Jay, it's kind of eerie that you were able to steal the words off my fingers about this area a continent away, but nothing new.

@David Barnett I'm a regular attendee of city council meetings so will certainly keep a finger on the pulse.

I sent out another offer today and I am waiting to hear back, but fingers crossed.Thanks for the advice Jadde!

So silly to limit growth in these residential neighborhoods but developers snapped their fingers and got a new Orange line stop!  

Fingers crossed they accept my offer, but ultimately it's just good practice if they don't.

Fingers crossed that it gets better very quickly.
