Hi Derek,Based out of Surrey, BC and thinking of investing in the states as well.

Plus we also able to negotiate a frigerator (not part of standard package) as well as blinds for all windows.

You'll either need to write and mail a check or call and pay with a card if they are set up for that.Is it for a contractor who is doing a renovation that will be 30k?

.🎩 The Buffett ConnectionWarren Buffett's investment philosophy aligns beautifully with the principles of income-producing real estate, particularly through his well-documented love of dividend-paying stocks.🎯 The Buffett Dividend Strategy Coca-Cola remains one of the best examples of Buffett's philosophy in action:1988-1989: $1.3 billion investmentHeld for 30+ yearsGrowing dividend income streamShows the power of buying quality assets and holding for cash flow💳 The American Express StoryBuffett began buying AMEX in 1964 during the "Salad Oil Scandal" crisisMade a larger investment in 1991Berkshire now owns about 20% of American ExpressThe investment has generated billions in dividend incomePerfectly demonstrates Buffett's principle of buying great companies during temporary troubles (just like smart real estate investors who buy in good areas during market dips!)
