Our first meeting!

Hello all,

Today was a great get-together of like minded ladies. We decided to open up the floor to our spouses and other guys (as long as they stay on topic). We discussed an overview of some of the topics we'll be covering in the coming months - internet marketing will be one of the subjects to be added. "The e code" by Vitale and Mok was brought to our attention and may be useful for that topic. I'll review it and let you know.

During the next meeting we will cover real estate investing. We will be welcoming Asokan Thurairajah, a Realtor with Keller Williams Ottawa Realty to be presenting an overview of real estate investing including residential as well as commercial real estate.

To prepare for this meeting, I suggest reading Kiosaki's "Rich Dad Poor Dad" and Campbell's "Real Estate Investing in Canada".

For those who have questions about how much they can afford for a mortgage and the specifics of downpayments and mortgage rates for investment properties, you can call a mortgage broker and they would be able to best answer your questions.
