Reason to get to know each other- Thanks Dave

[worldjohn]

I just closed on a sale of one of my properties and it is thanks to Dave2 that it sold.   He found the buyer and even negotiated the deal.  Thanks a lot Dave2 I owe you more than a beer for that one.  As my dad would have put it Dave is a "jolly good chap"  My sale is a good example of why its a good idea for us to actually meet and get to know each other

I am not in real estate business but am happy to occasionaly help an associate particularly those who help/teach me.  All I did was help set it up.  You did the key final work.  

This works both ways and I have learned from you and a lot of other people on this board.  

Lately some winning bidders (Eg. Wasaga Beach) seem to have forgotten the basics of the business.  Couple that with redemptions and it makes life miserable for some of the realists in the business that know what they can pay and resell for a profit.  

Unless you are a neigbouring property owner or want the property for own personal use,( as you surprised me on something else) the key is the complete cycle which includes selling.  Only then do you know if you bought it at a proper price.  

One of these days I will learn enough to be dangerous but until then a number of smart people will continue to give me an education at my expense.  The only way I will survive is to find something that no one realizes the true value but in a changing world you have to keep changing your hunting strategy.  

Good luck and happy hunting.  We will hook up after you win the pool at Kawartha lakes.  I can't think of a more deserving person for reasons that only a person who has opportunities to meet you in a social setting will understand.

On that note you maybe interested in this article.  How to keep mosquitos away
naturally? (Ernest Bidder fear not you can read this article. It is from Canadian Gardening. )

I found out because of a neighbours cat named Zoey got too high on catnip and they decided not to accept the catnip my wife grew for them and then wondered where all the mosquitos had gone to particularly in this wet year when we are out on the porch in the late evening.   We left the container of catnip on the porch and no mosquitos.

  Dave2, I read your posting with the greatest of interest, as we are surrounded by the little buggers. Having thoroughly read it all, I visited the neighbour's garden (with permission, of course), wiped myself with a small handful of leaves, and enjoyed my favourite after-dinner delight, Canadian Vodka. I dreamt of being serenaded, in close quarters (no detailed description available on a family website), by Eartha Kitt, and awoke to find myself being assaulted by Bertha, the neighbour's overweight fearsome feline. From now on, I'll leave it in the can. Your posting is much appreciated, from a number of angles.
