News From Michael Arthur

I hope you are enjoying the fall season.

I have some great news to share with you. Anita and I have completed over 75% of the tasks in our wedding plans as the big day is quickly approaching in a couple of weeks.☺This is a major achievement for us as we have been tremendously busy with our own careers and personal endeavours. A lot of my friends have been asking me if I am nervous about the big day. My response to them is simply NO! – at this point.☺

Along with being heavily engaged in the wedding planning, the real estate business continues to get busier and busier with new listings, plenty of showings, submitting and negotiating offers, finalizing deals, personal development and training, and securing new clients. I was also in the media as I was invited again to speak on The Nikki Clarke Radio Show to provide an educational talk about RRSP mortgages as a practical wealth building strategy. I also explained how the rent-to-own strategy can help renters or first-time home buyers purchase a home sooner rather than later. Here is the interview: http://bit.ly/2ym1dvp

Happy reading!

Best regards,

Michael B. Arthur

Why Invest In Real Estate?
 If you went in to your stock broker and said “Hey, I’d like to buy $100,000 worth of Apple Stock, but only if they’ll give me a 10% discount” – what do you think would happen?  After your broker stopped laughing, he or she would explain that it doesn’t work that way.  What the stock is trading for is what you’re going to have to pay.  Take it or leave it.

   Real estate on the other hand is much more flexible.  It is quite common to be able to get a $10K, $20K or even $50K or more DISCOUNT off the asking price of a property.  All that’s required is a bit of knowledge, some negotiation skills, and simply ASKING for it!

   Getting a bargain on what I buy is another reason I love real estate over almost any other kind of investment out there.
