100% Financing now available! (oac)

If you're trying to save up for a downpayment on the house of your dreams, stop saving and start moving. 100% financing is now available for the purchase of a home. It's great timing with the lower house prices, its better to buy now than to save for a few years just to see the lending rates and the prices rise again.
I know you're landlord is in love with you, but valentines day is comming so do yourself a favour and break up with them and fall in love with your new house/condo!
For a free consultation, contact me and I'll go over the program with you and get you prequalifed. By the way, if your self-employed that's ok too!

City of Hamilton wants your help

I received an email today regarding the economic development strategy of Hamilton. Apparently its been 5 years since the plan was visited. So it's being revisited for a new 5 year strategy. If you are like me, I'm sure you've sat a "Timmy's" thinking why doesn't the city do this or the city do that. Well our chance has come to have our opinions heard before the new strategy is set in stone. Have your voice heard at one of the open houses the City of Hamilton is having, or just fill out the questionnaire by clicking the link below.

Its all about perspective

I spoke to a friend of mine today and he told me that a job promotion he was looking forward to getting in the next few days fell threw. He didn't want to say he was upset but I could tell that he was ticked. As we spoke it occurred to me that maybe he was just looking at it from the wrong point of view, maybe by not getting this promotion it was actually a blessing. You can't look in to the future, but you can look to the past and see how the dots connect. For my friend taking this job would have required him to move out of province leaving behind all his friends and family. Being away from everyone might have actually been the biggest pay cut he could imagine. I guess all of us lose perspective from time to time and we only realise how good we have something when it's gone. Check out this video of Steve Jobs where he speaks about how precious life is.
