Investment Alternatives Conference on Feb.15.2014
How much is enough for retirement? This has
been a hot topic recently especially when we know there is no real reform envistaged
for the Canada Pension Plan.
I have seen
a great deal in my 22-year real estate career; Markets have withstood various
gyrations and I have lived through three cycles. Yet my faith in solid,
asset-backed real estate investments has not only been undiminished; it is
stronger than ever.
My
investment philosophy has always been a long-term one. I have never put my
trust in snake peddlers who promise incredible riches with schemes to make a
quick buck. I achieved it through focused, prudent, conservative,
investments in real estate not from inheriting from my old folks.
That’s why I decided to initiate and host, with my
good friend Daniel Veniez , the Investment
Alternatives Conference. $25 for a day of investment straight
talk from highly respected experts, and featuring an icon of Canada's wine
industry, Harry McWatters, Founder of a Time Winery.
Three years ago I
started accepting invitations to speak to industry audiences across North
America on how to work with Asians. I saw an opportunity to try to play a small
part in bridging an apparent cultural divide developing between East and West.
In my three
years since I hit the speaker circuit here and in Asia, I have gained a few
insights. Among them are:
1)
Real estate investors are broadening their horizons. Where once they were
focused on their local communities, today there are no more barriers. Their
sights are truly global;
2)
Vancouver is a very important and attractive market for both in American
and Asians;
3)
Canadians are by far the number one foreign investors in the US;
4)
Investors, especially Chinese investors, are looking for investment
opportunity but don't always know where to look and where to go. That is an
understandable consequence of cultural and language barriers;
5)
Government programs are not going to be enough for our retirement life.
So, what do we do?
Whether you
are born and raised Canadian, or whether you are a landed immigrant or new
Canadian, this unique conference will have something for you. I wish to extend
a personal invitation to you to attend this informative and entertaining day.
The
conference has been covered by Wall Street Journal and Business in Vancouver.Check
