August 2017 Real Estate Ezine

Michael Arthur

Despite the tremendous amounts of rain that has occurred lately, I hope you are continuing to enjoy your summer with your friends and family.

Have you taken or are planning to take your summer vacation? For myself, I have not taken any summer vacation as myself and Anita are working hard preparing for our upcoming wedding ceremony and reception this Fall. The good news is that we have secured our wedding venue, completed our exhaustive guest list and finalized the food menu for our invited guests. At this point, we still have plenty of outstanding items on our wedding planning checklist that we need to complete in a few weeks.

The real estate business is busy as usual where I am putting deals together, coordinating open houses, showing homes for my clients, negotiating offers, attracting new clients, seeking investment property opportunities and meeting with prospective investor partners, and last, but not least, producing educational videos on various real estate investment topics.

You may have already heard about the buzz about the theatrical event, La Machine, that made it North American debut in downtown Ottawa. I had the opportunity to attend this incredible event. This four-day spectacle of street theatre captivated over an estimated 750,000 people who witnessed the large mechanical horse dragon, Long Ma, and spider, Kumo, battle each other at downtown Ottawa, the ByWard Market and LeBreton Flats. If you missed this unique event, have a look at this video: https://youtu.be/cVietJsj5hc

Best regards,

“Don’t wait to buy real estate, buy real estate and wait.”

A Laugh or Two For Good Measure!
Two men are playing golf. One of them is about to take a swing when a funeral procession appears on the road next to the course. He stops mid-swing, takes off his cap, closes his eyes, and bows his head in contemplation. 
 
His opponent comments: “That must be the most touching thing I’ve ever seen. You are a very feeling man.” The man, recovering himself, replies, “Yeah, well we were married 35 years.”

Why Invest In Real Estate?
        If you are like most people, the idea of riding the stock market ‘roller coaster’ makes you feel a little queasy.  The highs can be a lot of fun, but the lows really give you a kickin’ (and there seem to be a lot more lows than highs for most investors).

         While real estate also follows a cycle, it tends to be a much more gradual one.  Investing in revenue properties offers us limited immunity from fluctuation. 

         This means that you don’t tend to see the massive ups and downs of the stock and commodity markets.  It’s a much gentler ride, and tends to provide very solid returns on investment over the long run.  This is another reason I prefer real estate investing over other kinds of investments.
