Never a dull moment.

It's been a crazy month of juggling business, home and health issues. I managed to put together a few interesting deals, survive the flu, a nasty sinus infection and I just took my last dose of Cipro for a Bladder concern. Did some creative cooking and baking, paid the bills, made my son like eggplant, and booked a vacation.

Whew.... Now I can relax and do something for fun.

I've decided to write and teach a few courses on the subject of Landlord and Tenant issues. Read legal stuff.... Oh what fun! Laws, Acts, amendments of, case law, yum, yum.... Oh, so good! This may sound strange, but I really like this work, and I find it an escape from the normal day to day work of Realtor life. I'm researching, reading, highlighting, writing examples from my own personal experiences; it's like writing on AR. Inspired in part, by two experiences I had while working on rentals in the past few months, and my exposure to the people on the Active Rain Real Estate Network.

In my area, CE credit educators and materials must be approved by the Real Estate Council of Ontario (RECO). It's a process that ends with our governing body charging a fee for each application whether or not they approve your course. So I will write to satisfy them and keep the material interesting for the student. This last element could be challenging. My friends and close associates have great faith in me and are certain that I'll have my students rolling in the aisles. I'm not so sure at this point... Now, I will get back to my studies..... Wish me luck with it!
