Hello from Vancouver Island Canada!

[Tom Stromar]

Hello All - I am currently residing in Nanaimo, B.C. (about 80 miles north of Victoria) on Vancouver Island. I have been passionate about Real Estate since I can remember.

I discovered this site some time ago and have finally signed up to expand my knowledge of the U.S. market. Along the way, I would be more than happy to help anyone with any questions about the Canadian Market (e.g. how does a 30 year amortization fit in with global warming and the 2-storey igloo? :) )

Anyway, there are a few of us up here that have been dabbling in some U.S. investment, mostly in Arizona.

My wife and I are also licensed Realtors (are we accepted in these parts?) since 2004.

Also, I am currently involved in a project that is developing some online tools for the r.e. market but that won't be rolled out for the better part of a year.

I look forward to reading through the site and meeting the membership. Is there a Canadian contingent?

Cheers!
