        <title>Should You Buy A Property That May Need Expensive Repairs Or Upgrades? </title>
    <description> <![CDATA[ 




Imagine you’re shopping for a new home and come across a listing that seems ideal. It’s in a great neighbourhood. It has all the characteristics on your “musthave” list. You can see yourself living there.


However, there are a couple of serious maintenance issues that are likely to need attention within the next year or two. For example, the roof shingles need replacing or the wiring needs to be updated.


Those fixes are going to be expensive. Does that mean you should take a pass on making an offer?


Not necessarily. While it’s nice to buy a home that is move-in ready (or close to it), it can be advantageous to purchase a property that needs some repairs and upgrades.


Depending on market conditions, a home with such issues may be priced lower than comparable properties. So the money you save can be put towards the work. In addition, other buyers are seeing the same issues and, as a result, may not make an offer. That means fewer buyers and less competition.


On the other hand, you need to weigh those advantages with the estimated cost of the required repairs and upgrades. Will you have room in your budget to get the work done when the time comes? How much will that work likely cost?


(Chances are, you can get a rough estimate of the cost of the repairs and upgrades required before you make an offer.)


The bottom line is, you need to get all the information you can and then make a strategic decision. Often, it is worth purchasing the property.

        <title>New Federal Program To Create Rental Suites</title>
    <description> <![CDATA[ 




The federal government has introduced a new mortgage refinancing initiative aimed at supporting homeowners in expanding their living spaces, such as converting basements or garages into rental units.


Scheduled to launch in January 2025, this insured refinancing option aims to facilitate the creation of rental properties, assisting homeowners in coping with increasing mortgage expenses. A previous version of this program was available until 2016 but was discontinued to stabilize the housing market. With housing shortages now a pressing issue, this initiative is being reinstated, offering homeowners opportunities to add rental accommodations and potentially augment their income.

    <description> <![CDATA[ 
5-Family-Friendly Fun and 5-Chilling Scares


Whether you're gearing up for family-friendly fun or ready to face some spine-chilling horror, these top 10 movies will set the perfect tone for your October. So gather your loved ones, prepare your snacks, and dive into a mix of laughter and terror that will make this fall unforgettable. Happy watching


Family-Friendly Flicks


1. Hocus Pocus (1993)


Picture this: three hilariously goofy witches from the 1600s are resurrected in modern Salem and decide to cause all sorts of magical mischief. They’re more clumsy than evil, and the chaos they create is perfect for a fun, laugh-out-loud movie night. Cue the broomstick rides and sing-along antics


 2. The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993)


Meet Jack Skellington, the Pumpkin King with a knack for holiday mix-ups. He’s tired of Halloween and decides to hijack Christmas. What could possibly go wrong? This movie is like Halloween and Christmas had a stylish, spooky baby—complete with catchy songs and a lot of skeleton dancing





 3. Casper (1995)


Casper is the friendliest ghost you’ll ever meet, which is great because he’s living in a haunted mansion with some seriously grumpy ghosts. Watch as Casper tries to make friends and helps a young girl and her dad discover that ghosts can be good company—especially if they’re not trying to scare you out of your socks.





 4. Hotel Transylvania (2012)


Dracula runs a five-star hotel just for monsters—no humans allowed But when his daughter falls for a human, Dracula has to deal with all sorts of funny, spooky shenanigans. It’s like your favorite Halloween costumes come to life and decide to throw a wild party.





 5. Halloweentown (1998)


Imagine discovering that you’re a witch and your family’s got a secret magical town That’s what happens to Marnie when she finds out her family isn’t just into pumpkin carving and costume parties—they’re actually magical It’s a delightful mix of spell-casting and family fun.





Chilling Scares


1. Hereditary (2018)


Enter a nightmare where family secrets unravel in the most horrifying ways. After the death of their secretive grandmother, the family starts encountering disturbing and supernatural events. Hereditary will leave you questioning every shadow and creak in your home. It’s a relentless, mind-bending descent into terror that will haunt you long after the credits roll.





 2. The Conjuring (2013)


When paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren step in to help a family plagued by malevolent spirits, things take a sinister turn. Based on true events, The Conjuring delivers bone-chilling scares and supernatural suspense. This movie is not for the faint-hearted—prepare for eerie sounds and unsettling scenes that might make you sleep with the lights on.


 


3. A Quiet Place (2018)


In a world where silence is survival, every sound is a potential death sentence. A Quiet Place follows a family who must navigate a post-apocalyptic world filled with deadly creatures that hunt by sound. The tension is unbearable, and each whisper or creak feels like a life-threatening risk. Hold your breath—this film will have you on the edge of your seat.





 4. Get Out (2017)


This psychological thriller takes you on a disturbing journey into the sinister underbelly of an apparently perfect family gathering. When Chris, a Black man, visits his girlfriend’s family, he uncovers horrifying secrets that challenge reality. Get Out is a masterclass in suspense and dread, blending social commentary with pure, unadulterated fear.





 5. The Babadook (2014)


When a mysterious book arrives, it brings with it a dark and malevolent force. The Babadook follows a mother and her young son as they are tormented by a terrifying entity that emerges from the pages of the book. This film is a psychological horror that delves deep into grief and madness, with a chilling atmosphere that will leave you feeling unsettled and uneasy.





As the curtain falls on our Halloween movie marathon, remember that the true magic of this season lies not just in the frights and thrills, but in the memories we create with friends and family. Whether you’re revisiting classics or discovering new favorites, let each chilling scene remind you of the joy and creativity that Halloween inspires. So grab your popcorn, dim the lights, and keep the spirit of Halloween alive—after all, there’s always room for one more scare
