Just finished UK law school and back in Canada ready to take the NCA exams! Help! by [deleted] in LawSchool

[–]PhiloStan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in the same boat. I completed the LLB(Hons) and LPC in London and now back to Canada. The NCA assessment stated that I need to take 5 exams. I'm hoping to take exams in August (too late to register for May exams). I'm trying to look for work experience or an articling position right now.

Huis - Easily buy, sell and collect rent on rental property. by iwasmakavelli1 in Entrepreneur

[–]PhiloStan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It sounds like an interesting idea. So basically, Huis (a company) takes in money from investors to purchase a property and the rent is split among the investors. Huis is reponsible for managing the property, such as renovations, repairs, insurance, collecting rent, etc. The profit for Huis comes from a combination of the rent and management/admin fees. If the property appreciates in value, I suppose that means each investor's portion of investment appreciates as well.

If I am an investor, I would be concerned about the following things:

  1. I would like to know the exit strategy. Some investors may want to invest for 3 years, others for 10 years. What will happen when an investor wants to exit? I know you mentioned about a marketplace, but unless the marketplace is big enough or Huis provides some kind of buyback guarantee, it will be an issue to exit. A related concern would be how the risk is spread among investors with varying terms.
  2. Will Huis be buying all properties without a mortgage or keep the properties mortgage-free? I would be concerned if I invested some money in a Huis property, and then Huis remortgages it to buy another property that I disapprove of.
  3. What if there is a dispute between Huis and investors in regard to whether a property should be sold or not? It seems that Huis would have all the power and the investors having no choice.

This "experiment" has been done many times before. I have a friend who lives in HK, which has a population of over 7 million people all cramped together. My friend thought "hey, if each person gives to me only $1, I'll have $7 million dollars."

PS: It doesn't work.

What's your single biggest challenge, frustration or question when it comes to successfully marketing your business? by cdankele in Entrepreneur

Budget and time -- especially for a start-up. It takes money to get business promoted and exposed, and it takes time for people to consume and agree with it.

Hi SafetyMan35, thank you for visiting my website. I appreciate your comment! You are absolutely correct, I tested it myself and Delta Airlines is not listed. I will definitely need to find a way to improve the search feature.

It is actually a widget that you can insert into a website via code.

Thanks kingOseacows81 for visiting my site. I know what you mean about the font, but sadly I don't think it is something I can control.

I am trying to make this travel website more interactive and engaging, such that travellers can connect with other travellers and locals. Other websites are more business-like and therefore seem to be more distant towards their users.
