Good evening BP members, I am a week away from my closing date on my first property! Broke free of the "analysis paralysis" syndrome!! I have a rookie question in terms of management. After ensuring I had done all my ...

If you have a long time horizon/you won’t be retiring for 20+ years, put it in the most aggressive low-cost fund your plan offers.

If the city and neighborhood are good, all buildings are cheap if your time horizon is out long enough. 

The best advice I can give from the bigger investors I work with is to expand your time horizon.

I think there are some good things on the horizon but we are always going to be the slower side of the Smokies and I do think that the next 12-24 months are going to be rough. 

@Austin Sheppard @Charlie MacPherson is right, there are new regulations in Boston on the horizon and Airbnb and the City are at odds with one another.

I don't think values in these median home value segments will retrace, but people are realizing that with less FOMO in the market, and the days of rapid, double digit equity appreciation no longer likely, they may have a less chaotic market on the horizon. 

Also, please let me know if any sales are on the horizon I should be waiting for before I buy.Thanks!

The time horizon is 12+ months from closing to tenants moving in, with additional consideration given to the longer lead times for permits and other construction-related activities during the pandemic, plus an additional 1-2 months for refinancing.We will be discussing these case studies and other ways to make Toronto cash flow in our Jan. 30 Masterclass on the fundamentals of Toronto real estate investing - event details are posted in BP events and we would love to see BP investors at our event! 

You might consult with the three big players there: Trammel Crow, CBRE and Marcus Millichap and tell them that you have a minimal time horizon to make a deal on the space either sale or lease before you throw in the towel and go to auction.
