Hi Layce, Sorry. I never saw your post until today. Of course you can invest in Winnipeg, and if you live there, that's where you should be investing. There is a group in Winnipeg that meets, and you might want to come and check it out. We have a Facebook group that was started up a while...

I invest in real estate because it is a challenge, allows me to participate in capitalism, and will hopefully help me afford some extra luxuries for myself and my family. 1. Challenge: I have always been one to take on challenges. I know lots of people who talk about doing things but never...

I need to finish a renovate / sell project that is taking up too much time in my life. In the next year I would like to buy at least one or two more properties to rent and hold. I plan to use the money I make from selling this project to pay down debt as well as improve some of the buildings...

I am finding the same with Canadian Real Estate Magazine. I am a subscriber. They phoned me the other day and I told them I felt the articles were much the same from issue to issue. I like the magazine and will continue to subscribe, and I think they are doing a great job, but I would like to...
