I only did a couple of pure flips, and in those I had the deals and also had a couple of "suspects" to pair with the house, but no buyers list and nothing firm. 

I recently purchased a Duplex and one tenant has a pair of Pit Bulls.

Read through those threads to see what kind of language sellers react to and pair that with your business card.

"Inflation" just as the word implies, is the inflating of the currency, period.

Despite what most people think, painting a room in dark colors (dark grays are so hot now) actually makes a room look larger and more homey when paired with the right staging.  

It's injecting value right back into the hard earned currency of the east coast.

I have contacts and investments in a particular business model in Australia, returning ~20% net (downside being exposure to a somewhat volatile currency) plus capital gains.The model involves the rights to manage hotels/ vacation apartment rentals/resorts.

Would it be possible to get a commercial loan for the pair?

I'm visiting with family this weekend, so do not have a lot of time to go find them all, but will try to pull the information together into a blog post in the next 2-3 weeks.One additional consideration which has arisen in the past 3-4 months is the shift in the relationship between the CAD and USD - I sold USD at 1/1.2245 last week and the currency jockeys are indicating we could see 1/1.18 before the end of May.

My three diversification areas are real estate, ecommerce, and currency hedge fund.
