🎣 Doing a little fishing in Nova Scotia this week—kissing the cod and scouting out some waterfront properties.

Did you know Halifax is one of the fastest-growing cities in Canada? The province’s population is booming, driven by international migration and a fresh wave of energy across the region.

I’ve been staying at a few waterfront short-term rentals to see what the east coast market has to offer… and honestly? Tall Pine clients are blowing these places out of the water. 💥

Might be time to bring a little Tall Pine magic out east! 🌲🌊

Thinking of buying a short-term rental? Let’s chat—no matter where you’re looking to invest.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Client Testimonial

“Staying at one of Lori’s personal cottages was such a pivotal experience for me—it sparked the dream of owning a cottage myself. Luckily, I was in a position to start searching shortly after, and Lori was an incredible resource every step of the way.

From understanding the ins and outs of short-term rentals, to figuring out the must-have amenities, Lori was always quick to respond and genuinely happy to help. Even when I had questions that weren’t directly tied to her listings or bookings, she never hesitated to offer guidance.

Lori’s knowledge of the cottage market—especially from both a personal and investment standpoint—is impressive, and I’ve felt supported from the start right through to well after my closing. I’m so grateful for her help and couldn’t have asked for a better person to lean on throughout the process.” — feeling happy.

💰 Why Sitting on Home Equity Might Be Costing You More Than You Think 🏡

For generations, the ultimate financial “win” has been the image of a mortgage-burning ceremony — a fully paid-off home, no monthly payments, and peace of mind. 🕊️ Emotionally and culturally, we’ve been taught that this is the goal. But in today’s economy, that traditional mindset could be keeping your wealth tied up and underperforming. 📉

If you own a $1M+ home with no mortgage, you don’t owe anything — but you’re also sitting on a million dollars of idle capital. That equity isn’t generating income, appreciation, or leverage. It’s just sitting there 🪑 while inflation quietly eats away at its value 🐛.

Here’s the mindset shift: refinancing isn’t “taking on more debt” — it’s reallocating your own money. 🔄 When you refinance to access equity, you’re not borrowing from someone else. You’re releasing funds you’ve already earned — and putting them back to work 💼📈.

We’ve lived this approach. One of the homes we purchased was a new build — we paid the deposit 💵 and waited two years 🗓️ for it to be completed. By the time we closed, it had appreciated by over $100,000+. We refinanced, pulled out our initial down payment 💸, and used it to buy our next property. Rinse and repeat. 🔁

The key is understanding that your home’s equity is not the finish line — it’s a springboard. 🏁➡️🚀

Wealth-building isn’t just about owning a home outright. It’s about using your assets strategically, confidently, and intelligently to grow. Let your money move. Let it multiply. 💡💪📊

🤔Ever thought about buying a short-term rental but assumed you couldn’t afford it?💸

📈There are so many creative ways to get into your first property — and once you do, it only gets easier. Proven rental income opens doors.

🏠At one point, we were operating six properties, both long and short-term.

💰I wasn’t born into money. No special advantage. Just creativity, hard work, patience, and consistency.

💙That’s what leads to growth.💙

Have I shared this with you before?

I own 3 short term rentals, and I've NEVER personally made one mortgage payment. Isn't that incredible?!

The first cottage we bought was almost 10 years ago, and yes you heard me right, never made one mortgage payment, we've never paid one utility bill, never paid property taxes, and the best part is...Its worth 700k more than when we bought it.

So far for 2025, between all 3 cottages, we've booked 144k worth of rentals. IT'S FEBRUARY!

This is what future financial freedom is all about. I can't speak for everyone but my 9-5 pension was never going to provide me the life I wanted to live while I was still healthy enough to live it.

Invest in your future. Invest in generational wealth.

What's comforting for my investor clients is that I'm not going anywhere. You purchase with another realtor who knows less about the STR industry, you close on the sale, and now you're lost. You don't know the next steps to providing this amazing hosting experience. Or WORSE, you don't buy anything because you're too scared and you don't have anyone holding your hand.

This might be a lot for Monday morning.😁

But it's looking like a fabulous week with lots of growth and opportunities. Don't let them pass you by.

It doesn't matter if you contact me today, tomorrow, or in 6 months. Short term rentals/investments are my passion and I'll be way too excited and talk way too much, I can promise you that.
