Ott-opia...

Ottawa is a beautiful city and I'm not the only person that thinks so. With many parks, bike paths, monuments, and other things, Ottawa is a place that I am proud to call home. The Ottawa Business Journal has their own take on the city's livability. They detail some information from a recent book that ranks Ottawa to other cities in Canada. Read the article here.

It has begun!

I've started the final course for real estate! WOOHOO! I'm anxiously awaiting spring where I can start to buy and sell for friends, family and potential investors. I'll let everyone know how it's going, but the exam isn't until May 16th. I still have a bit of time in between. Plus, there is tax season to worry about. Fun times.
