4 f. d7 Q, l* r- b, j" @( P   书中重新定义了timing在房地产投资的重要性。大多数人买房不可能买到所谓的best deal，但timing可以替你的错误买单。我买的第一套房就掺杂了很多个人喜好，随着时间bail u out,看起来也是涨，但是现在觉得的很傻（当然自住例外,因为你不把你的房产seriously看成投资）。
    Don't buy the market, buy the deal。这是我的对书的另一个理解。我对不敢替我砍价的中介不太敢冒，你的offer不被拒十次八次你就不是个professional  invester,一般来讲你挣得最多的钱在你买这个房子的那一刻 。昨天一个看起来真的很便宜的apt被我压得太厉害就没成交。1350sft 1year in centrel burnaby ,lower mainland,ＢＣ．listing price 475,000. offer and counter 3times.$440,000是对方底线，我只给$425,000。不要被所谓的sell's market迷惑了双眼，房子值多少钱是买家说了算。on the other hand,你看准一个good deal,very likely 会有competing offer，不要犹豫，下现金offer see if u can lower the price.
    半年前我的租客问我该去哪里买房子，我挠挠头（书上没教），告诉她，那就去卡尔加里吧。她用现金offer在哪里抢到了很好的deal.半年后，我就只能北上当爱城的临时市民。不果我觉得Grande Prairie也是个好地方，positive cash flow for sure. 楼花不到20万，租1200，2bed,2bath 900sft.However,edmonton as capital of AB remain on pivot and still well undervalued, quote from Ozzie Jurock.

    另外一个很现实的问题就是management,小本生意，雇人划不来，自己面对租客又是俩字，头大！太多的细节要照顾，租客们一般找上帝的感觉一找一个准。I really don't want graphic how toilet exploded sometimes ,but that's the reality which  request ur immediate fix up=biggest pain in the butt. 您要租个老外千万要reference,中国人一般有良好的交房租的习惯。还有一条行规，或是说大忌就是Don't  sleep with ur tenant!
