Although a bank or insurance company would fit nicely into Berkshire’s existing platform, Canada does have restrictions on foreign ownership of those assets – so my bet would be either an energy or utility-oriented opportunity (plenty of them in Alberta) or perhaps a significant stake in Alimentation Couche-Tard, which owns the Circle K brand and has a significant global presence, potentially meshing nicely with Berkshire’s recent purchase of Pilot Flying J.This year, I had the pleasure of travelling to Omaha with some friends from New York University’s Real Estate Development program and got to catch up with old friends from all over the world.Alas, my favorite Buffett-ism from the meeting was "Understand that the market is there to serve you, not instruct you".

Has the builder done a take off on a program like Xactimate or ?

I have never heard of a program like that - I would be doubtful if it is worth it  - Understand a little about owner's motivation to sell. if a building is on the market for sale by FSBO, by agent or public auction - those sellers listing to sell are motivated - they may try to hide there desire to sell and say things like ''I ain't going to give it away!"

We had an internal beta program last year that was good but not perfect, it almost made it out of beta.We’re waiting for the hype to die down a bit and a clearer strategy to emerge before dumping a ton more effort into this.

I'm looking into the different software programs available.

Flood Insurance is a Federal Program.

I have student loans that were just recently forgiven, through the SAVE program.
