Most of these are easy fixes or updates that can really make a difference. Especially #5!

Buyers want to know how move-in ready the home is. Sellers can take on some prep work to get ready.

I'd add 2 more to this list of foolish advice:
1. "Just wait awhile and the market will go down." 🤣
2. "Don't waste money on a home inspection, we can get Uncle Joe to look at it..." (he's a part-time carpenter)

Strata agents recently shared the worst real estate advice they've heard parents give their kids when shopping for their first home.

One of my favourite Clients (from my Langley days) has become famous for their ever growing Christmas light display / addiction!

Neighbours and buses loads of other fans look forward to the Oldaker’s annual Christmas light display

Hope you enjoy this as much as I did! Happy Fall!

Here is a poem called ‘The Problem of Writing Poems in the Shape of Deciduous Trees’, and which is particularly relevant at this time of year.

Craziest thing happened: A client of mine wanted to invest in Bitcoin. The bank loaned him $400,000 of his $500,000 purchase; he just had to come up with the $100,000, and then he owned $500,000 worth of Bitcoin. They loaned him the money at 2.25% interest. Crazy! His monthly payment on that loan with fees was about $1,100, but then he rented the Bitcoin out to people for $1,700/mo, made $600 each month and still got to keep his Bitcoin. Even though he didn't own it free and clear, he was still able to charge other people to use his Bitcoin every month.

At tax time, he was able to write off any interest he paid on his taxes, and depreciate his asset to wipe out any gains. He even got a 100% guarantee that there will be a demand for his asset as long as he owns it!

Can you believe that? An asset that goes up in value AND that allows you cashflow while you hold it?

Oh wait, I misunderstood his story, it wasn't Bitcoin, it was Real Estate!
