This year I’ve been dealing with an increasing number of clients from British Columbia. They love the west coast weather and lifestyle, but don’t like the prices of local investment real estate. In contrast to the $120,000 condominiums and $250,000 new single detached family homes available in Kitchener Waterloo, Ontario, prices in Vancouver […]

About a month ago I met a new client of mine, a very smart young guy. He bought his first real estate property 3 years ago for about $175K, put some ’sweat equity’ into it, and it’s worth about $250,000 today. My mortgage broker Jeff Reitzel had an approval in hand to refinance […]

Real Estate zoning and allowed uses can be a tricky subject. This week I have been dealing with small income properties in Kitchener Waterloo with a few clients who previously had been investing in single family properties.
One property we looked at was a legal non-conforming triplex. What does that mean ? Is it […]

He determined that the cost of a 4 year post secondary degree, away from home, will be well over $100,000 in 15 years (he estimated as high as $180,000, but that may have been a US statistic). The RESP […]

An interesting situation came up recently while I was pursuing an investment property for a client in Kitchener Waterloo, Ontario.
Sally is from out of town, but she has recently started to move her equity into the Kitchener Waterloo area in the form of real estate investment property.
She had a mortgage broker she used when she […]

Back when I was working in a large financial management brokerage (which means I was working with a team of stock brokers), I remembered being shocked at how small people’s portfolios were when they approached retirement.
A very common situation was:
Married couple, sixty years old
Making $100,000+ year combined
$500,000 in RRSP and other stocks, bonds and mutual […]

On Monday, Sarah and I closed on an ‘investment-grade’ condominium in North Waterloo. There were some mild theatrics associated with the closing (i.e. where was the other side’s lawyer on Friday when we were to close the deal? Canoing ? Lawn bowling ? Enjoying a lazy Friday afternoon at Morty’s ?) […]
