We predicted previously, that there would be a problem if interest rate were to rise substantially, so we will see an increase in homes on the market that people no longer can afford. In terms on the rental market, my job is to now develop programs that will still allow the average Canadian to participate. I have some creative ideas involving a combination of 2nd mortgages, joint venture and profit sharing. Dear Jason:

This is exactly what Robert Kiyosaki talks about with the vanishing middle class and the widening gap between the rich and the poor. And the government is only perpetuating this.

I tried my bank first to find that they were not very sympathetic to my cause, I then learnt a very important lesson if you have any sort of bad credit history you are far better to go through a reputable broker. They will listen to you as a person and help you by finding the right lender for you instead of trying yourself and risking many rejections until you find the right person to speak to. The moral of this story is be guided by people who know what they are doing Due to an illness unfortunately we went into arrears on our mortgage, and after recuperation needed to borrow money to get back onto an even keel.

The media looks for the negative in a story all the time and sometimes it is difficult to separate the fact from the fiction or the logic from the hype. It is an exciting time to be in real estate.

I realize that Toronto real estate market is rockin, but the London market is still down 5-8% depending what part of the city you are in. The time on the market is crowding 90 days. We had 400+ sales in December -- a wonderful month--except two years ago it was 900 sales. Someone is sniffing something that i want to try. Thanks for the article.

I certainly don't see any adjustment in the immediate future that will have a significant impact on the market - I think we are going to have a very busy year and i look forward to doing business with you at some point in 2010. Take care and thanks for the post - I enjoyed it. Good Point.

People need to buy or sell just about every day of the week whether it is to downsize, upsize, divorse, death or another baby on the way. That is what keeps our business going.

I've experienced these things first hand, many times. The benefit of having a broker is obvious. You wouldn't try to preform surgery on yourself, that's what doctors are for, so leave mortgages to mortgage specialists. Thank you for the continued advice. It is always appreciated and you always provide insight into things I hadn't thought of. S&F So true Bruce… I’ve experienced these things first hand, many times.
