Then the following month I hit a pothole and had to get new tires haha, all this while trying to save up for a baby on the way.Now that he's been born and everything's paid off it's worth it, but it really did make me question things at the time.

So we downsized our residence, sold the big house in 2013, bought a modest little farm, and rolled our tax free profits (over 55, baby!)

Hey guys, I wanted to share another great story on a property we closed earlier this year.As I’ve shared in previous posts, I have been partnering with other people to acquire more rental properties in Canada.I believe this is a win-win for both parties, as my partner has a full-time career and doesn’t have the time nor expertise in real estate to invest fully on their own and for me it allows me to continue to expand my real estate portfolio with less of my own funds.The exciting part about this latest deal is we paid $0 to acquire it…yeah baby!!

That old 1950's/ cloth insulation wire that is always badly deteriorated everytime I've run across it looks less safe than knob and tube.

I have been wondering when the shift of money will switch from baby boomer to millennial and I think we will see the indication of it when the effective marketing methods change just like this.

They moved in with a broken washing machine that they set out on the back porch and left that behind along with a broken window air conditioner, a freezer they unplugged but left half filled with rotted meat, bags of mismatched shoes, broken furniture, childrens clothes, christmas ornaments, soggy bedding, rotting mattresses, more dirty diapers and, ironically, unused condoms.IF you can get a Section 8 tenant who can manage NOT to have a boyfriend/girlfriend/"fiance"/brother/sister/aunt/uncle/cousin/cousins children/babydaddy/babymomma/grandchildren come live with them because they've been evicted/kicked off someones couch/basement and have no place else to shack up you might have a chance to keep your rental unit in decent shape under this program. 

The lottery is the fastest way LOL unless your a trust baby , on a real note tho diversify, first no one will get rich off working for someone else unless your that lucky one who lands the job as a top executive and it wont happen over night, however any one can build a business and you don't need a degree in business to make it successful, hard work and a good team will make or break your company.

I wanted a place to go south, jump on a plane when I could and not have to haul golf clubs, recreational equipment and clothes, but rent it out when I couldn't use it (if I choose to).  

When you have a newborn baby, property hunting isn't necessarily the top priority in your life.

The warm belt states tend to have more stronger growth patterns and rent growth over time as baby boomers and retirees are moving to those states in large amounts.If you are in an area that is (over-retailed) then you need to grade your location, visibility, accessibility versus other centers in the area.
