  1. NASA finds water on the Moon; I could bootstrap colonization there: http://www.ottawarealestate....
  2. @pstanmo Probably rational for Gov't of Ont to believe that TO is ALL of Ont. Just way too many votes there to care about anywhere else.
  3. @ryananderson I couldn't believe that people would pay $171,000 more for an urban town. But it turned out to be rational after all.
  4. Home staging pays big returns in a commercial setting too. We staged an office building: http://www.eqjournalblog.co...
  5. HBC changes BM: it curates merchandise in a natural manner. Hard to find stuff that hangs together. Buy cookware, see exotic prepared foods.
  6. Urban versus suburban: save more than $16,000/yr in gas and time by living closer to downtown: http://www.eqjournalblog.co...
  7. On selling: u don't catch fish w/ strawberries & cream as bait. U like it but the fish don't. Former students Tyler Steeves/Jordan Demeo.
  8. Warren Buffett’s HR strategy: http://www.eqjournalblog.co...
  9. Proof that the Ontario Gov't thinks that the province ends at the border of Metro TO. Here is an ad in a major US mag: http://bit.ly/3AneyB.
  10. My father-in-law, Ken MacMillan served in WWII. God rest his soul.
  11. How do u redevelop important urban spaces for maximum benefits? You use a fine scale plan: http://www.eqjournalblog.co...
  12. Most people think real estate is location/location/location. I think it is local/local/local knowledge. R.e. knowhow doesn't travel well.
  13. Mortgage terms (Mortgagor and Mortgagee) that only make sense if you think like a lawyer: http://www.eqjournalblog.co...
  14. Smart investing makes a big difference. Here is a comparison of the ROI Fund v GICs: http://bit.ly/2KRVPc. Make an extra $26k on $25k inv.
  15. I told one of my former students about -ve cost selling (http://bit.ly/K37HA). He said: "Cool. It's like you'll pay me to hire you!"
  16. My wife coined a new term: Twitterbug, someone who spends a great deal of their time on Twitter. Similar to: jitterbug/litterbug/shutterbug.
  17. The burbs are like another country w/ its own currency which trades at 57 cents on the urban dollar.
  18. Way more house in the burbs than more urban condition. 2 nearly identical towns: $148/sf v $259/sf . That is $1 in burbs only buys 57 cents.
  19. Sens' ophthalmologist: w/ more NHL players wearing visors, no. of players he sees down from 10/season to 2. All players should wear visors.
  20. I finally figured out why NFL coaches want > 4.5 sec hang time and 40 yds on punts. Cuz their coverage guys can run 40 yards in 4.5 sec. Duh
