What Are The Seasons of Real Estate?

Written by Wade Graham | 27 May 2011

We all know that farmers plant their crops in the spring, tend to them during the summer, harvest in the fall and then spend the winter in Mexico.  Well maybe not Mexico but you get the point.  The biggest mistake I see investors making is planting their crops too late!  There is a simple rule to investing: be a buyer in a buyers market and a seller in a sellers market. Unfortunately, many people forget this rule and only start their buying when the frenzies start and it is already sellers market.  Those who paid top dollar for a property in 2007 can relate!

So, please, let's not make that mistake!  Let's be ahead of the curve.  Let's plant now!

It is my committed belief that we are currently in the Spring Market of Investment Real Estate in Calgary.  GDP growth in Alberta is one of the strongest in the country. Home prices have come back up from their lows of 2008 and inventory is falling year over year.  If you invested in 2008-9 congratulations! The job market in YYCis very healthy and companies are being quite aggressive in their hiring mandates.  Salaries are rising and are currently the highest in the country. Credit markets have loosened up.  The government platform in Alberta and Canada is a business minded one.  And people are once again moving to Alberta. These economic indicators all point to a thriving house market in the next 12 to 18 months.  Don't believe me thenplease read this post from Canada's leading Investment Real Estate Authority

If you do not see the wave of increasing rents and home values coming please do us a favour and unsubscribe from this list. (The link is at the bottom)  If you don't believe this to be true please save me the trouble of cluttering up your inbox with opportunities and economic updates.  I am not into list building for the purpose of inflating my ego.  Quality over Quantity every time and this is no exception!

So, if you are still subscribed to this list then please be an action taker.  Step forward by replying to this email.  Do yourself and your family the favour of investing in a proven generational wealth creation and preservation system - Cash Flow Buy and Hold Real Estate.

What is the one asset you own that has created the most wealth for you?  If you are like 9 out of 10 Canadians it is the house that they currently live in.  Now ask yourself, what if I owned just one more?  How would that change your life?  How would that change your families life?  Could just one house help put your kids through college or help you retire?

When the tides turn fully back to a sellers market in Calgary we will be selling some assets and harvesting some of our crop.  We will not be buying! Let me say that in another way - We will not be partnering with anyone to buy investment real estate when the frenzy of a sellers market shows up in 12 months.  Let me say it again... We will NOT BE BUYING.  We will already have place our seed capital into the market!  We will have already partnered with people like you!

If you want to make a difference in your financial future I would strongly suggest that you step forward sooner than later.  We are only working with a select number of investors.  Let's sow the seeds now for tomorrow's generation of wealth!
