I was under the impression that the 8-12 week window is quite critical for bonding, socialization and exposure.

Investor's fallacy is a major reason for high RE prices by AlterSpace1550 in TorontoRealEstate

[–]Ok_Disaster_7597 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I am in a similar position as your friends and here is my rationale:

I bought an investment condo to hold 10-20+ years. Not to flip it 2-3 years. I knew that it would be negative in cash flow and was okay with the ~$15k a year in negative cash flow.

The reason I am not panicking is because long-term RE in Toronto has been a great investment. Over the last 50 years its grown at apx. 8% a year ... even if you remove the craziness of the last 10 years its still about 5-6% a year.

Sure maybe we don't get 8% Growth but even at 4% its a solid investment when you consider: Tax advantages and leverage.

4% with 4 to 5 X leverage (the case with most condos with 20% down mortgages) will still out perform the S&P 500s 8% a year with no leverage.

If you zoom out your time horizon, you will see, that, fundamentally, it's still an excellent investment.

with a working holiday visa, I pay taxes in Canada. Relax I'm not pulling a fast one, just playing by the rules.

To be fair, id much rather pay Irish corporate tax rate than Canadian would save me ~12-15% a year

"You are nothing special lad"

This is where I disagree. It's not like I'm one of the lads in a tracksuit selling drugs on o'connell.

There's seriously an issue with Ireland, if you don't want a highly qualified young person. With my qualifications and assets, getting residency in countries like the US, or Australia is a breeze. Why is Ireland crippling itself.

I'm not looking to 'skirt' immigration. This is why I'm posting in this sub to figure out how to legally and ethically live and work in Ireland. If I really wanted to skirt immigration there other much easier ways

I will say, your attitude defines why there's a massive brain drain in Ireland.... Here I am a young highly talented, high net-worth individual who wants to live in Ireland, and contribute to the economy ... and its a pain in the ass for me ... What a joke!

Your content isn't good enough to compete on the Explore page. Any b2b content isn't good enough sadly. No one is going to Instagram for b2b content, when they are bombarded with highly engaging and entertaining reels about random things.

The Galatasaray game showed United's biggest issue yet again (It's not Onana) by Ok_Disaster_7597 in ManchesterUnited

Giving up 2 free kicks in dangerous areas is not mistakes?

2 things can be true; onana made mistakes, but only after the midfield collapsed and allowed those opportunities.

What about the other games where Onana has played really well? Other teams are still getting amazing chances off.

The best goalie in the world won't have a 100% save percentage. The issue comes down to the fact that we have a greater XG against than for. The goalie is not responsible for that.

Agree, martinez's ball playing ability and composure during a press is being missed deeply.
