			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">OPEN HOUSE:  Oct. , 2:00 to 4:00 pm</span></p>
<p>This neat and cozy 2 bedroom, den &amp; 1 bath bungalow is perfect for the young couple or that retired couple that just need a property with lots of trees, peace and tranquility.  Look no further because this property provides these attributes.  A NEW Energy smart ROOF has just been installed (a $4300 value) with TRANSFERRABLE WARRANTY.  The home has been lovingly cared for by the people who had it built about 50 years ago.  The interesting thing about this property is that the home has been built on the center of the first 50 feet of frontage on lot #81.  Lot #80 can still be conveyed into a separate deed and sold off separately for a building lot, adding about $40,000 in value to this package.   Call Roby The REALTOR now at Deerbrook Realty Inc. 519-972-1000 for your personal tour and CATCH A WHALE OF A DEAL with Roby Dyck.  EXECUTOR SAYS &#8220;Present all offers&#8221;.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS &#8211; an updated 2 storey located in a happening commercial zone one block west of Old Walkerville that just got REDUCED $10K.  This great pc of property for you to move in, set out your signage across the front of the building and start collecting your business income.  It has been setup with the main floor having great open space, perfect for a dance studio or a salon.  If one would desired this, then setting up a cozy hi-end restaurant could be achieved but with renovations for a commercial kitchen up or down, which ever you prefer.  There is a 2 pc powder room on the main floor, and upstairs is a beautifully decorated and organized bachelor&#8217;s apartment.  The two heating and cooling systems are zoned, one for upstairs and one for the main floor and basement.  The basement has all the fixings pretty well in place including a side entrance to the basement for a renter, if this fits with your plans.  So, why not give Roby a call, and make this viewing a MUST SEE in your tour plans.  Call me at 519-972-1000, have me paged and start your dreaming.  I will CATCH YOU A WHALE OF A DEAL, call Roby Dyck now.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Casper is a 3 year old purebred White West Highland Terrier, who is my very best friend and constant companion.  He goes pretty well everywhere with me. He has been kind of adopted by me and my wife Meta from our son-in-law and daughter.  Bill decided to buy Casper as a ten month old pup for his financee, my daughter, Alisha back in 2007.  Casper was fitted with a collar and a paper scroll which had a secret message to Alisha and inside was the engagement ring &#8211; Casper performed the delivery task impeccably and was certainly loved very much by his new owners.  (She did say YES, by the way) But, since Bill lived in an apartment yet &#8211; no pets allowed &#8211; he asked &#8216;mom and dad&#8217; (Roby and Meta) to take care of him until he bought a home for his future bride.  Well, Casper helped me and my wife go through 5 pair of shoes/boots in real quick succession, and a few corners of our trim in our new home in Kingsville got chewed too.  Nothing that could not be replaced or fixed quite easily.  And eventually, Casper, as bright and smart as he is, handled the &#8216;potty&#8217; training quite well and communicated his needs before they became an accident.  Well, after Bill got his home for his bride, Casper went to stay with Bill and Alisha in his new home on Eastlawn Boulevard in Windsor.  He did very well in his new home, and they loved him very much.  But with both Bill and Alisha having careers, and being away from home long days, Casper missed his surrogate parents, and he came &#8216;visiting&#8217; quite often.  Then Casper started staying more and more, until such time, that he was a permanent friend and companion of Roby and Meta in Kingsville again.  We have since become his adopted parents and he has certainly given us great joy and friendship over this past year or so.<br />
For Meta and I, having a Westie as a pet is not new.  We have owned purebred Westies as family pets for the past 26 years.  Dixie Lee lived with us (a female) from &#8217;84 to &#8217;98 and then we had to say goodbye to her.  By then, we had purchased Sheenaugh in &#8217;96 and she lived with us until her death in 2008.<br />
I also want to thank the Veterinarians who have so wonderfully cared for our Westies, and with a special thanks to our <strong>Kingsville Vet, Dr. Braithwaite</strong>, who was instrumental in diagnosing Casper with Addison&#8217;s Disease.  In 2009, we almost lost him, until we were able to, with our Vet&#8217;s help, find the correct medication to combat a problematic Addison gland in Casper.  Today, with daily meds for the rest of his life, he is a healthy and an amazing pet.  See a few photos taken a few weeks ago by Skip Kuchta Photography of Casper and Roby in our home in Kingsville.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Can you make fast $$ in flipping homes?  Our experience has been buying and selling our own personal homes which we live in for 6 months or more, fixing them up and then selling them again.  This prevented us from having to pay capital gains taxes, and giving us the opportunity to control our spending.<br />
First thing to do is to buy WISE, i.e. 1) location-location-location.  Make sure you are buying a home in a good neighbourhood, and ensuring the home is not the largest one in the block; 2) know the market and try to buy low (insist on a Comparable Market Report from your REALTOR &#8211; call me if you need one as you do your research); 3) when you renovate your flipper, think reuse/recycle/restore as you go from room to room.  This will reduce your input costs and allow your best return on your investment.<br />
Our experiences in the 12-13 homes that we flipped, we found that one of the best flippers was a small war-time 1.5 storey home which we kept for about 1 year, spent about $3,000 (modified a 2 pc powder room to 3 pc washroom upstairs, renovated the kitchen with new counters, backsplash &amp; paint, and re-decorated the paneling with feather dusted painting application).  We made a nice profit from this home which we used to buy a nice rancher in a wooded lot in the country.  Our &#8216;country estate&#8217; was also resold in 4 years, with minimal renovations (some paint and paper and a purchase of some neighbouring land in the wood lot to expand the basic property size) which netted me approximately a 22% improvement on my investment.<span id="more-153"></span></p>
