I scan online news sources for useful news items through different rss alerts, guess what I found in the last few minutes:

Economic development could get a boost when Orillia is on display to a captive audience of more than 250 real estate investors.

Five busloads of members of the Real Estate Investment Network (REIN) will roll into Couchiching Beach Park on Friday for an afternoon barbecue followed by a guided tour of the city....

So much for the BBQ in a `secret` location.

Applying Don`s principles as I read (What`s Behind the Curtain) and focusing in my specific area. Trying to learn a new skill as I move along, as well as stay educated about our investments.

Joe`s economic fundamental posts have been a great filter for me, I`m just widening my own net a bit.

Enjoy - and sorry to spoil the surprise

Lakehead University and Georgian College were a hot topic for approximately 300 real estate investors who took part in a bus tour around Orillia on Friday. The members of the Real Estate Investment Network (REIN) were interested in hearing about the potential housing rental opportunities created by the postsecondary institutions. Dennis Bottero of Landen Homes, a local business, said he is looking into rental homes for students. Bottero is from just north of Toronto, but started investing in Orillia in 1991.

"I see (Orillia) continually growing. I like to see that the city is... upgrading West Street, Coldwater Road and attracting the universities in," he said. "I`m interested in investing in student housing. I think there`s a need and opportunity there."

I was on the tour & it was really funny at the Barrie Presentation the EDO lady also let the cat out of the bag about the Orillia Barbeque. It was actually pretty funny! What a great day we had. I have been a few REIN Bus tours, and I always have a lot of fun participating in them.
