As we will likely hear more about interest rates in the coming days I wanted to share some recent real world experiences in the Commercial Lending Space. 

Why we don’t like ARR (Average Rate of Return)It’s easy to skew the numbers.Here's an example of a positive ARR of 12.5%, but the investment loss is $50.Year 1 Start Value: $100 End Value: $25 Annual Return: -75%Year 2 Start Value: $25 End Value: $50 Annual Return: 100% ARR = 12.5%Am I missing something here?

Every state is going to be a little different in terms of forms and procedures, but expect any buyer who is represented by an Agent to include a request for you to pay some or all of their agent's commission with their offer just like they would have prior to the NAR settlement.

I’d like to make the jump on my first rental property but have no idea how to get in the game.

For jobs like this in the future I plan to run as owner/builder and hire/schedule subs myself.

I would charge the tenant as it sounds like more than what might be considered normal holes in the walls.

At the time when the chemical industry discovered farmers as a huge market all sorts of herbicides and pesticides (the are banned today) were introduced, stored and disposed of basically into the ground: the farmer did not want to have stuff growing between the barn and the farmhouse anyway, so seemed like a good spot to kick that barrel over.

You’ll find investors from Toronto, Vancouver, and other major Canadian cities who share their experiences about market conditions and regulations in Canada.For formal groups or chapters, outside of BP, the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA) and local investment clubs are great places to connect with more like-minded investors.

I would like a 20-50 unit empire.

I would also like to know what effect business structures have on taxation (LLC/ LLP/ LP).
