Belleville

John Canary used to work with me.

He lived in Belleville, Ontario.

He set up March the 1st, 1974, he was gonna do a seminar for me in Belleville.

I was living in Chicago.

We had the seminar all set, we were selling it.

Before that, lived in the city of Toronto for a few years.

But I grew up, actually, my hometown is east of Toronto, which is Belleville, Ontario, and just Prince Edward County.

A lot of people know Prince Edward County, so I just grew up in that area.

But now my home has been here.

He'll also attend a lunch and dinner hosted by King Charles before flying back to Ottawa tonight.

The vice president of the Belleville, Ontario Synagogue, attacked by a gunman in September, says costly enhanced security measures are needed to ensure the safety of his congregants.

Shima Vigoda of the Sons of Jacob Synagogue says an existing federal program for security improvements at places of worship would not fully cover the more expensive measures.

Such things as bulletproof, bullet-resistant glass, replacement of the inner and outer doors, construction of a safe room, the installation of fencing creating physical barriers to slow or halt a would-be attacker, security personnel on site,

The Canadian Federation of Independent Business has also outlined its priorities, including cutting the small business tax rate to 6% from 9%.

Marketing directly to artists has had quite a bit of success.

Marketing my new store in Belleville has had quite a bit of success because it's new there and people didn't know about it.

So it just immediately grew the available market.

But yeah, I think that just finding the right campaign, it's expensive for me.

While the numbers in markets like Edmonton can be appealing compared to the GTA, investing in a property several hours away or even across the country can feel pretty daunting when you're just starting out.

For someone in my position, would you recommend looking for a property within driving distance first, perhaps in markets like Windsor, Kingston, or Belleville? Or is going straight to a market like Edmonton a legitimate strategy for a first-time investor? How much more important does having the right local realtor and property manager become when you can't easily visit the property yourself? And are there particular risks or lessons you think a first time investor should understand before investing at a province? I imagine there are plenty of other aspiring investors in expensive markets like the GTA who are asking themselves the same questions.

So I think it could make for a really valuable episode.

Thanks again for all the work you put into the show.

The first part was, would you recommend looking for a property within driving distance first? Well, we already talked about that.

Here's what you do.

What you're going to do is you're going to go and look at those towns like Windsor and Kingston or Belleville.

And what I want you to do is I want you to look at the property prices and I want you to look at the market rent prices.
