📄 Kelowna OCP Needs an Infrastructure Review 🔍
The BC provincial densification plan is not the right move. We have an affordability crisis, not just a housing crisis.
Kelowna is a very desirable place to live but we don't have lots of land, meaning our land costs are starting to sky rocket, which is also greatly impacting affodability.

🤝 The Easiest Way to Build Referral Partners 🤝
Max Carbone built his consulting practice around golf - a hobby he has had for many years.
Max would sponsor a hole at a charity golf tournament, and go to the tournament where CEOs and VPs are likely to be. He'd play a game and bet them to raise money for charity, and he'd give them a copy of his book.
A few weeks later, he'd get calls from those that he played golf with, resulting in more referral partner…
🦀 Crabs in the Bucket - Capital Gains Tax Turning Friend to Foe! 🪣
The narrative they're trying to spin, and the finance minister has come out publicly and said these things, about living in a country where children and families are struggling because of the wealthy 1%.
The capital gains tax won't actually affect the 1%, it will affect everyone. Mostly entrepreneurs or families trying to get ahead.
It also hurts our economy by deterring investment in Canada …
😳 Why Most Realtors Fail ❌
Residential realtors have to do a lot of extra work that puts a lot of extra stress and pressure on them. They have to do all aspects of the business, not just the sales side of things.
In the first two years, 80% of the people who are licensed aren't in the business anymore, and 90% aren't in the business anymore within three years.
Max's strategies within his company TeamWorks bring a lot of support to new realtors, and a lo…
📃 Densification Plan Needs to Take Affordability Into Account 💵
There is supposed to be over 1000 units developed along a corridor of Lakeshore Drive in Kelowna by 2040, and we've already surpassed that by 235%.
We've already got 1,400-1,500 units approved, and a bottleneck of infrastructure. The road is called "Lakeshore Crawl" for a reason.

🤔 Why Will We Buy Cars But Not Homes? 🏡
Historically, it's always been the right decision to buy property, as it's a known asset class that's going to increase, but there's still a lot of hesitancy around it.
People have no problem spending tens of thousands on a car that instantly loses money and payments that are as high as a mortgage, but pulling the trigger on a property is very hard.

🧳 Why Do You Think Tourism Is Down In The Okanagan? 🕶️
Tourism has been down in the Okanagan this summer compared to years in the past.
There's a lot of speculation going around Kelowna as to why this might be happening. Airbnb rules, a cool June, smoke, wildfires, the economy, shaky consumer confidence, or all of the above.
It's hard to say what the reason is, what do you think?

🏦 80% Pre-Sold to Access Funding?! 🏦
Banks require a certain amount of units to be pre-sold for de-risking the project before they will fund the first construction draw.
The required amount to be sold before banks will provide funding has gone from 30% to 75-80% for every client, even the big guys!
If you see a pre-sale going up, and think you're going to snag a unit when they are done, you likely wont. By the time the hole has been dug, 75-80% have already been …
