Keeping busy in retirement is very important. Throughout your life, you wake up every day with a purpose. Whether it is to take care of your family, pursue a career, go to work, or to relax on vacation, each day has a purpose. Sometimes these activities take over and we wish for a slower time, we wish for retirement when we can come and go as we please, setting our own pace each day. Although this may sound intriguing, be careful when you do retire to have a purpose each day. In speaking with other retirees, the focus switches from now and into the future, to one day at a time.
In planning for our retirement, my husband, Greg, and I have decided to venture further into the real estate market. We own our own home, as well as investment property and timeshares throughout Canada and the US. We have made the conscious decision to become experts as real estate investors and are pursuing this with a passion. And we are having alot of fun while we are at it! Our family has enjoyed looking at show homes, and viewing properties for years, but now when we go we have a purpose. Each home we look at, we decide if the purchase is right for us. If it's not, we now have a network of other investors to whom we can refer or sell the property. We help people with buying solutions to solve their problems. And we pay a referral fee for each lead someone gives us when we end up buying the property! We've found lots of times people own an unwanted house or property and need to sell NOW! Some are behind on payments or relocating. Some owe too much on the home or are going through foreclosure or divorce. These are common problems that can happen to anyone. We buy houses in any area, any condition and any price range. We can pay cash and close quickly if needed, and we can also make monthly payments. We've set up a separate phone line to help us to keep track of all of the calls (306)636-2484 to ensure we don't miss calling anyone back. We're also accepting leads or referrals through email at traceyfieber@sasktel.net.
Only you can decide how busy you will be. What will be your purpose?
