Loeffler's material is soon to be obsolete in the eyes of the CRA ... but perhaps he'll put out a revised edition when that day arrives.Another good primer to have is Steve Cohen and George Dubé's "Legal, Tax and Accounting Strategies for the Canadian Real Estate Investor"The there is the very thorough, large (amazingly expensive) and rather useful (despite it's Upper Canada bias) text by Pierre Boiron and @Claude Boiron "Commercial Real Estate Investing in Canada"

He follows the stock market and the global economy very closely and from what he has said to me, he thinks that the "brexit" is going to send Europe (and eventually the US, among other countries) in to a recession.  

Another thing about Jakarta-Indonesia is the city where President Obama used to live & go to grade school when he was young :-)Any advice on how to tap to global property investors?

Equifax gives a FICO score of 650 - 699 as having a delinquency rate of 12% (Canada).Only 14% of Canadians (30% of Americans) score below 650  and most are likely on welfare. 

I’d basically be entirely wiped out and have to file for bankruptcy if I default and have to sell the house.Again, seems a bit crazy but then again when was the last time we saw a pandemic with 20% unemployment, with fiscal stimulus aimed at simply bridging a short term gap, with no long term plan in place (ie vaccine takes years to both develop, manufacture, and distribute globally and 70% of domestic GDP is based on the service side of the economy).

My intention was merely to make the point that the pool of potential buyers who will pay premium prices for vacation rental condos on Maui is significantly reduced during a global pandemic.I do know that my favorite Maui broker team reports that while single-family home activity remains strong, Maui condo sale listings were up 18% and pending sales were down 24% in June 2020 vs June 2019.

Just a few of the perks:- Automatically reimbursed for the first $300 spent on travel each year (this even applies to gas stations, so this basically reduces the cost of the card to $250)- Pays for TSA pre-check or Global Entry ($100ish)- Priority Pass select membership at airport lounges- DoorDash Dash Pass subscription- Plus all the usual travel card stuff like trip insurance and car rental insurance that saves too

Anyone familiar with Canadian Lakes?

Global Property Guide is a great online resource for foreign real estate investing.

I have changed my mind now.To be a good risk as far as Canadian financial institutes go a decent credit history is essential henceforth my plans for 2010 while I go through the process.
