Quotes of the Day

The public has been conditioned to believe that dental cleanings are for the benefit of their teeth. The truth is that professional cleanings may reduce deposits, but they cannot stop the regrowth of acid-loving bacteria, and cleanings themselves cannot strengthen or protect your teeth. No amount of brushing, flossing, or professional cleanings can completely rid your mouth of bacteria. Unless you remove the conditions that promote harmful bacterial problems, more harmful bacteria will grow back and any cycle of damage will be repeated. [2025] - Ellie Phillips

When the age difference between spouses is under ten years, they most likely have similar historical and cultural experiences and backgrounds with music, movies, political events and folk heroes. Both will have lived during approximately the same generation and they are more likely to relate to and understand each other. If both male and female are in their fifties or beyond, with children grown and self-supporting--a twenty-year age difference may not be as significant. [2011] - Isabelle Fox

If you don't know something, ask someone who does know. On the flip side, don't be a pest and ask for too much help. Read books about great entrepreneurs such as Edison, Ford, and Gates. [2005] - Robert T. Kiyosaki

85 percent of your happiness will be determined by the quality of your relationships. [2004] - Brian Tracy

The key is to find a market where rents are sufficiently strong while at the same time having a low-enough purchase price. There is a sweet spot to be found in the outlying areas of most major centres. Keep in mind though that outlying areas tend to have less diversified economic bases than major cities, so while the cash flow may be greater, it may not be as stable. You would be very hard pressed to find a property with such strong cash flows in major cities, but you can still find positive cash flow. Finding great cash-flowing deals can take a bit of time. You have to do the research and be patient for the right deal, and you will need a few connections, but it can be done. Working with a world-class real estate agent makes searching and negotiating far easier. [2017] - Calum Ross
