Stop the Madness!
It is true, come will say just about anything to get their or their company's name into the media. Even some of the largest more respected firms do it. What they don't understand is that this constant fight for 'eyeballs' is not only confusing but also hurting investors as they try to fight their way to uncover the truth. Below is another example of this.
As you know, my focus has and always will be analyzing what's going on in the economy, job markets and regulations in order to figure out how they will affect your local real estate market.
We are very proud of our forecast track record over the last 20+ years, and especially proud of how strategic thousands of property investors have used this research and analysis to build their portfolios, with many now living the lifestyle they choose, rather than one that they are 'forced' to live.
The following example will show you another reason why we continue to put so much effort behind our annual ACRE Conference in each city - providing leadership in a confusing world.
Another Example of Why You MUST "Look Behind The Curtain"

So that was fair enough. Subtext was: We've looked at the Canadian Market and despite it seeming a little over-valued in a couple of markets. All Good.
But then - about 4 weeks later.......

Yes, that is right. Although market hardly moved AND for sure the economic fundamentals didn't change in such a short time. The well respected Bond Analysis firm comes out and says the market will fall as much as 20%. And to show that it wasn't just a different newspaper taking a story and making it negative. Their forecast also showed up in the Globe & Mail (the source of the first article):

Of course this is just ONE example of many Strategic Investors we must fight our way through to get to the reality. It is also one of the reasons I LOVE what I do - providing a clear direction in an economic storm filling our view with fog.
Now more than ever, our monthly "What's Behind The Curtain" segment, our detailed research and the newly update ACRE Real Estate Conference is so very very important.
Stay Strategic - Stay Informed - Stay In Control!
