Timing in real estate is everything

“TIMING”…. It is the word that many times leads to success or failure no matter what the topic. Timing is oblivious to good intentions and possibly, even sound, well thought out strategy. So specifically, when it comes to Real Estate investments or holding mortgages it is safe to say that timing is paramount in the success of the venture. The market goes up and it goes down and depending on the timing of your decisions you will succeed or possibly fail.

So here is my question to you…. “When is the best time to get INTO a real estate venture or mortgage investment ? When the market is up and everyone is feeling good about themselves and their investments, or when the market is down?”

You know the answer!!  But all of us need to be reminded.

When the market is down I get excited because I know great opportunities are available. When the market is flying, I get a bit nervous, because what goes up always comes down. But then it all comes back to “TIMING” and the experience to know what to do with it.

Alta Pacific Mortgages and Investments

Are you saving enough – or too much – for retirement?

A very interesting read this morning in The Vancouver Sun. Columnist Craig McInnes writes about boomers saving for retirement.  He asks the question, “how much is enough savings?” and points out that the answer isn’t always straight forward.  It can differ depending on many factors for Canadians – Do you want to remain in the same home?  Do you plan to downsize?  Do you wish to have luxuries that you don’t have today (boat, cabin, winter home in Palm Desert etc.)?  I think all Canadians hope for a life the same – or better – than what they enjoy while working.  It doesn’t seem fitting to plan for a lesser life; whether it be lodging, food/wine/restaurants, transportation, and luxuries enjoyed.  If you’re used to cheering on your Calgary Flames, are you really going to be content trading in those season tickets for Calgary Hitmen?  Not likely.  So while this question faces all Canadians – young, boomer and seniors – we can likely all agree that we desire a life as good or better than the one we currently enjoy.  If you’re a Canadian who is already retired, we hope you’re pleased with your current place and not thinking that a little more might have helped with a few of those things you do without.
