Sun, sand and our first multi-unit purchase...

Without the routine that the school year brings, as a family, we finally managed to do a few of the things that we'd been hoping to make happen for a while now. Good friends and clients of mine were generous enough to offer us a few days up North at their new cottage retreat, and fortunately we managed to get some of the nicest weather we've had this summer while we were away. The kiddos embraced the water and sun, and even James and I managed to get some much-needed R&R. A few days trips to Wonderland, Springridge Farms, and more parks and splash pads than I can count, have worked to round out our summer so nicely thus far.

After many years of deliberation, we also managed to buy our first multi-unit investment property earlier this month. With closing slated for the end of October, we're looking forward to becoming landlords, in hopes that this purchase will be the first of many small commercial purchases for our family. If you're interested in learning more about the benefits of buying small multi-unit properties for investment purposes (ie. as little as 15% down, amortizations up to 35 years - all at an interest rate only slightly higher than current residential rates), don't hesitate to drop me a line. I'd love to hear from you!
