Wed, 09 Feb 2011 19:23:26 +0000 http://www.chrisdavies.ca/?p=157#comment-3547 [...] Last year I helped Brent Davies (my Dad) start a series of tours for investors to help them get familiar with the Edmonton market and the different types of real estate which commonly make good investments. We also used it as a chance to get people out into some of the neighbourhoods that attract attention because they’re cheap, but also present serious risks to investors. (Like the Black Triangle of East Edmonton) [...] [...] Last year I helped Brent Davies (my Dad) start a series of tours for investors to help them get familiar with the Edmonton market and the different types of real estate which commonly make good investments.

I don't invest in Edmonton but we've definitely made the mistake of buying the cheapest properties because they have the best cash flow numbers (on the surface anyway). Gotta love this because I relate ... not as the realtor but as that newbie so many years ago: The Old Time Realtors chuckle as the new seminar grads arrive to buy the cheapest house they can find. The newbies are repeat business…they’ll be selling again shortly as they try to get out. Hope folks investing in Edmonton or anywhere pay careful attention to what you're sharing because every city has an area where properties are cheaper ... most of the time they are cheaper for a reason ... and if you're not equipped to deal with that reason (and when you're new you probably aren't) then it's not going to be a good deal at all. Great stuff!!! What a great post!
