The easiest way to boost your returns is to increase your holding period. I get many viewers who request I debate some of the Vancouver Real Estate pessimists and bears. I always tell them No Chance! Why would I debate or challenge someone on their short term predictions of where the Vancouver Real Estate market or the stock markets are headed. I have no clue what these markets will do over the next month ..6 months or several years. Instead I focus on the long term. 10-15 25 years. I know that buying quality assets and holding them for long periods of time will always result in a fantastic return.
