fotget about location location location----by ozzie jurock.看了十几本了，终于成了ozzie的fans。
   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.
3 G. R; ]3 y+ }  L! {    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.
    老Ozzie also 曰：buy with as little downpayment as possible.nothing is perfect,5% is not bad either. But he also mentioned leverage working both way.赶上您没工作，没存款，没租客=ops=被月供淹死
    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!
