一。对异地市场了解有限，容易做出错误决定。
二。对异地市场价格不敏感，容易出高价。异地的人最喜欢卖给外地的投资者了。
三。成本加大。去外地考察市场`买卖`以及后来的管理，都要投资者亲自去外地。出差一天，交通加吃住，一天平均要500块。

最近利息升高,很多原来锁了低息的人不但没有放弃买房,反而为了利用低息加快了买房的进程.因为可以锁住90天低息,所以最近本地交易无减反增.今天去了我用的NotaryPublic那里,她说最近疯狂了,她不光周末要加班,每天还要忙到晚上八九点钟.很多人为了利用低息,不得不提前完成交易.
长期来说,利息升高应该销售量减少,但已经准备买房的人在短期内会造成销售反而上升的短期现[阅读全文]

在温哥华岛上,有一个小城市,原来几千人,死气沉沉.这几年突然热闹起来了,人口到了一万多.每天有三个航班去Calgary.每天有三个航班从Calgary飞来.
为什么?这里气候好.石油公司的高层,很多把家搬了,老婆孩子都在这里生活,自己每周座飞机commute,成为空中飞人的另一种形式.
