I am finding it difficult to get people's opinions on Watrous and Manitou Beach. They are not too far from Saskatoon but if you could give me any insight on them, I'd love to hear about it.

Love this episode Ron 👏

We recently left Canada to start a family in south america. Best decision we ever made. Canada just isn't a viable option if you value freedom and low taxes.

My aunt uncle and cousins all live in Martensville. They love it, have lived there for over 2 decades now. All the city stuff you need closeby, but a quiet classy town on its own.

"RENT TO OWN" in real estate, is technically the same thing as a "lease purchase." (Which is the Obligation to buy within say: 12, 18, or 24 months, etc. vs. a "lease with a separate Option agreement," or: "Lease Option.") And in a Buyer's Market, a lease with the OPTION vs. OBLIGATION to purchase prior to the 'expiration' of the Option Contract, makes 100x more SENSE! (i.e. Unless you are 100% certain you want and can AFFORD that home... for at least the next 5- 10 years, through the present market downturn, then 'correction.')

Do you have one that talk about moving to Saskatchewan from another province?

Funny, I found this video while looking into coming to Saskatchewan. As a gay man any places I should avoid totally?

Can you do a comparison between the Australian Housing market vs Canadian Housing market.

Hate Saskatchewan. Lived there 16 yrs, Regina specifically. Got tired of the wind ALL THE DAMN TIME.... and fridgid COLD WINTER'S. Mostly hated being jumped by 1-5 ppl countless times because of my skin color. House has been broken into only once while living in Regina. Would have been 2 times but the 1st instance was stopped because we had a guard dog that attacked would be thief when he jimmied the side door. While in Alberta, been here since 98. Not once been broken into, and have never been approached by anyone to do me any harm. It's been like night and day in comparison to Regina.

People moving to Saskatchewan from other countries are ruining the renting market by renting each room and hall way out. Cant find anything good. Everything is basment suites or 1 singular room for rent

Great video. Nice to see something recent about Warman. Any insights to capturing people moving in from other provinces, like BC and Ontario? Calgary has been all the talk the last few years, now Edmonton, What about Saskatchewan and specifically Warman? We moved here and absolutely love it

Question: Mortgage principal is not deductible on rental properties so does that not cancel out any implied savings of mortgage interest on the principal residence?

Great video! Jobs would be the biggest issue for me, but i was remote i'd definitely consider it

How come Melfort didn’t make this list

Great explanation!

Im told clients do pay by getting an extra fee tacked onto the mortgage, is this true?

Taking notes for my homebuying journey. Does this look the same in 2024? Down Payment: 5%-20% of the purchase price. Closing Costs: Approximately 1.5% of the purchase price, covering legal fees, title registration, and insurance. Home Inspection: $300-$500. Home Appraisal: $300-$400. Fire/Home Insurance: Varies by property. Estoppel Certificate (for condos): Around $100. Moving Expenses: $200-$5,000. Furniture & Appliances: $5,000-$100,000.

Very helpful video! Keep at it! 👍🏽👍🏽

I have taken a lease to protect the Nest egg 🥚folks, don't f..king touch it. 😂

Buy, buy, buy. Buy f.. king now.

Thank you so much for putting all this information together. I'm in love with this First-Time Home Buyer Guide🏡🥰

Probably better to buy a house at a nearby lake lot and not in the city. Check the crime stats and take a drive downtown before you buy. Caveat emptor

We are trapped here in the windy city. no bus service ,no rail passenger service, 2 and one half to 3 hours traveling time to Saskatoon or Regina to catch a plane if you can afford the plane ticket, if that appeals to you it is just great living here.

I have both licenses. I work in Miami, Florida. Here's the issue I've run into representing myself as a 'double-agent': according to national mortgage broker figures, 89% of buyers choose the mortgage broker their Realtor recommends. Problem is that.Realtors look at me as a potential 'threat' because they may think that their client will switch over to me for future RE deals. I assure them that I won't but deep down they want to be cautious and they choose a different LO that is not a real estate agent. It's not impossible to get business that does not come from RE agents, but the majority of the biz will come from them. It's one or the other.

Insightful information

This first-time home buyers series will be like my new bible lol I loved this video :)

I habe heard people report via social media that they bought a house 6 months after landing as PR. How is this possible considering that your calculations were based over a 2 year period?

Thanks Ron!

If I could only get myself in Regina 😊

I really wish i had watched this video earlier on.... gosh I must say this video is very informative and powerful....

your face looks young but your hair looks old...

Hi Ron, nice topic!

No jobs?

In Toronto they are bidding on the houses for sale

Is that true they pay you to life their?

I am so confusing how can you buy the house for us when the owner does not sell their house on market ?

Thank you for the information on Nipawa

Also, Ron if you could bring an investor who can go over rental income calculator. How they look at deals etc., that would be great. Looking forward.

I can relate to this. Great story. Thanks Ron.

Hello. Great video!! I do have a question. Does the mortgage/HELOC have to be readvanceable? Or can this be done with a standard “lump sum” HELOC? Thank you.

Canada's education system: you won't learn how to manage your money, buy a house, start a business, understand taxes, perform home and vehicle maintenance but you will definitely learn how to play hot crossed buns on a recorder.

Great interview 👍🏻

Thanks so much for having me!

If someone wants to do a JV but one of the partners involved are not first time home buyers; can they still qualify for a 30 year amortization with less than 20% down ?

A very interesting video. We want to retire from BC to Saskatchewan, Regina or a small town. We like the idea of a mobile home for expense and community…but, it is the pad fee vrs that money going into fix up costs of an older home in the city that is the worry. What is your opinion?

Question for Ron, what if the residence mortgage only allows 10% to 20% Lum sum payment per year, it will not allow you to prepay per month from your rental income plus the regular mortgage payment from your regular account. The steps you explained work for the first month only. If you only use your rental income to pay back the residence mortgage, purpose to get the investment line of credit available, then where is your regular payment for resident mortgage goes? Thank you!

so far you are one of the few professionals that explained the strategy so clearly, Thank you!

They should make the lifetime amortization so that people can die in debt and the prices of houses can become $5M when the avg income is $60k... The problem is speculation and the way the tax system works in Canada. The easiest way people can become wealthy is through real estate, so people keep buying houses, propping up the houses further, making everyone buy even more houses. Canada has the same supply of houses as in the US, but our houses are 50% more. Unfortunately, since 2010 we've become a country that only focuses on housing.

As you said there will be a completion and then a higher price.
