One of the Ottawa Real Estate Questions I often get asked by Buyers and Sellers is "what do you think will happen to the interest rates ?"

With that in mind, it is difficult to believe that there is any significant rate risk here; if anything, the surprise will be that the bank is on hold … (0 comments)

Do you require 3 bedroom homes in Ottawa ? Or 4 bedroom homes in Ottawa ?

One of the Ottawa Real Estate Questions I often get asked is whether Real Estate is a great investment for a Retirement Plan.Well how could I honestly answer "no?" One of the more significant Ottawa Real Estate Questions is really whether Real Estate should be a part of your investment portfolio, or exclusively be your Retirement Plan ? Well I guess that depends on the individual.Accumulating 4-5 properties throughout your working life , say between ages of 35-50 with tenants to pay the Mortgages is a good strategy considering that in 25 years time (age 60-75) these properties should be paid for and … (1 comments)
