My Nova Scotia Home - 06/17/11 11:48 AM
My Nova Scotia Home
        There is something about Nova Scotia that always draws us home. Over the years while in the military or when I worked as a miner up north (Thompson Manitoba) I always had to get home. I just love Nova Scotia. I love the landscape, the climate and the people. I love the kitchen parties,the gargage parties and the yard parties with the guitars and the sing songs. Fishing in the spring,new garden stew,fall foilage and an old fashioned Nova Scotia Christmas with the wood fire going and winter winds blowing. I know,I know we have our … (4 comments)

Activerain and Youtube - 06/10/11 07:43 PM
   I have just created a video on Youtube to help send traffic to activerain and my articles. Video is one of the best ways to draw attention to your business. This is an animated video I created accessed by tools available on Youtube. After some trail and error I finaly created something I felt comfortable uploading. No offence to the imaginery broker or company mentioned in the video but I believe activerain offers a lot of wisdom for newbies .
  I apologise if the video is a little self serving but I am only one of the many very … (6 comments)

Understanding Change                 Those of us involved in the Real estate industry are going through a time of change. There is a lot of misunderstanding and resistance to that change and reasonably so. We feel threatened and our livelihoods are at stake. I am going to attempt to explain from my perspective what is taking place .                All industry goes through 5 phases which include(1) Invention- Some one comes up with the idea for a service or product.(2) Proliferation- The idea takes off. Money is being made and everyone gets in on the action.(3) Regulation (Rules to govern … (2 comments)

How Real Estate and Leverage Can Create Wealth - 06/04/11 11:08 AM
I would like to explain how leverage can be the essential ingredient to creating wealth. We all understand there are many types of property to consider when buying real estate as an investment. Each property is unique and can be bought with various goals in mind for ROI (return on investment) . Income producing real estate is bought with the emphasis on the cash flow it produces while land might be purchased with hopes of appreciation over time. The average person with $100,000 who buys a $100,000 property. Who pays cash and then sells it for $125,000 thinks he has made 25% on his … (4 comments)

Real Estate The Most Important Fact You Need To Know - 06/04/11 10:51 AM
The equity you build in your principle residence is tax free.(In Canada) Most of the wealth created over time is created by owning your own home. The sooner you own a home the quicker you will become financially independent. Renting will keep you poor. These are all time proven facts.
