In this video I talk about the pros and cons of buying an older condo vs buying something that’s newer.  What to buy depends on many factors such as budget, location and the amenities that the buyer is looking for. However one thing that people should always consider is location. ..It’s the Golden Rule of Real Estate and will have a big impact on how much your unit appreciates over time.

Thousands of new books are published each year on helping people relieve stress, how to work less and spend more time with family, and how to create a balanced healthy lifestyle.

The two best vehicles to do this are through real estate and dividend paying stocks. It’s really the entire premise behind my new book “ Along for the Ride”.  The book is a step by step guide on how I reached my crossover point at a young age.

We have yet another top caller in the Vancouver Real Estate market. The US based ratings agency Fitch, just came out with a report saying that Vancouver Real Estate Market has been driven by strong local and foreign demand as well as low interest rates.

It also reminds me of the old Wall St saying about top callers.  Top callers are never wrong... they're just early!  Also in this blog ...I talk ...
