As with any journey, you need to take the first step.
The same would be said if you were driving from Toronto to Dallas. In that case, the firs step would be to get a map, so you’d know what direction to travel in, when to turn and how to stay on coarse.

A New Year !! A New Beginning ?? Or A Continued Change ??
Real Estate is a local industry, even though people buy and sell homes all over North America, Real Estate is a very local industry. What drives demand in one market can have no impact on another. When supply in short in one area there may be an abundance in another. When prices cycle down in one city they can be pushed to dizzying heights in another. The reality of real estate is that it’s a local industry …. The hard part … Read more…

The bulk of my business comes from people I know (and who know me), who appreciate the kind of service I provide introducing me to people they care about who can use my help.

The longest journey begins with a single step …. and this is not a long journey. In fact, the road to financial security through real estate investment can be as short as a few months or even weeks.

Real estate is the one solid investment available to everyone – when you consider we all need a home, a place to live, to raise our families and find security. But for many home owners, the next step can be investing in a second property to build equity and wealth by renting it to others. Having someone else pay the mortgage or you is a wonderful way to educate your children or provide for your retirement.
It’s important to know there is a right and wrong way to approach investment real estate.
I met new clients yesterday .. a really nice couple that have been working really hard and have been able to get themselves into the position of investigating real estate as an investment to build wealth and security.
This blog thread will follow the process … and it is a process … of how it works from our first meeting, to figuring out budgets, what kind of property works best , looking at properties – running the numbers – and then the offer / buying time.
It’ll be exciting for this family and hopefully helpful to you .. so stop back !!!

About 12 years ago – the spring of 2000 – I built and launched my first real estate web site. We were being told the World Wide Web was going to change things – old business models would fall by the way side, bricks and mortar stores would be replaced with on line virtual places of business.
Yes, real estate on the internet was going to be valuable. I wanted to get ahead of the curve and bought a significant number of real estate related domain names thinking this type of property would be worth having. But what to do with them ? First I paid a guy to build me a site. While it was a technically well developed web site, he really didn’t know anything about the language of sales, and even less about the real estate process. He had never bought or sold a home, had never invested in commercial real estate and in fact was still living in the family home (basement) with his mom.
At the end of the day it was clear that he had created a very attractive, technically correct site that was a complete bust as a lead generator for a real estate agent. I had to make a change /….. the question was…. Read more…
