I also really like the concept of 'getting in front of transportation improvement.'I am Canadian and I live in Toronto. Our subway system here is currently being expanded. The Government is constructing new lines of the subway which lead into adjacent cities. The project is scheduled to be completed over the next 5 years. However, the impact the changes is going to be significant. Housing values are going to remain strong if the homes are in close proximity to the subway stations. It is an exciting time here for real estate investors.You are correct, when you say that it take a little bit of research. I think that if people are willing to invest the time to do the research into these expansions, the rewards can be exponential.Best Regards, Neil. .-= Neil Uttamsingh´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/FirstRentalProperty/~3/aDKyefznsTo/" rel="nofollow">The Eight Most Common Questions Joint Venture Partners Ask – Part One</a> =-. Hi Florence,

I am Canadian and I live in Toronto. Our subway system here is currently being expanded. The Government is constructing new lines of the subway which lead into adjacent cities. The project is scheduled to be completed over the next 5 years. However, the impact the changes is going to be significant. Housing values are going to remain strong if the homes are in close proximity to the subway stations. It is an exciting time here for real estate investors.

You are correct, when you say that it take a little bit of research. I think that if people are willing to invest the time to do the research into these expansions, the rewards can be exponential.

Throw in the growing acceptance of telecommuniting in the workplace and all of sudden the reality of living in one city or outer suburb and working in another city an hour a away (i.e. living in Philadelphia and working in New York, which is already done by some) becomes a reality. Employment opportunities will less about location and more about accessibility to communication and transportation.
