 Investing in a duplex and renting out one half in Ontario can be a smart real estate move. This strategy offers several benefits for investors looking to generate income and build equity. In this post, we'll explore the advantages of this investment approach in a concise manner. Dual Income Streams: Renting out one unit provides a consistent rental income that can offset your mortgage payment and contribute to your cash flow. Cost Sharing: Sharing expenses like property taxes and utilities with your tenant reduces your financial burden and increases your overall profitability. Flexibility and Future Options: Owning a duplex allows you the flexibility to move into the other unit if your circumstances change, while still generating rental income. Potential Tax Benefits: There are various tax advantages associated with owning a rental property in Ontario, such as deducting expenses and capital gains tax exemptions. Equity Building and Appreciation: Over time, property values tend to

 Marijuana edibles have become increasingly popular as a convenient and enjoyable way to consume cannabis. In this post, we'll explore the basics of marijuana edibles, including their effects, dosing considerations, and the diverse range of products available. What Are Marijuana Edibles? Marijuana edibles are food or beverage products infused with cannabis extracts, providing an alternative to smoking or vaping. They offer a discreet and smoke-free method of consumption. Effects and Dosage: Edibles have a slower onset time compared to smoking, typically taking 30 minutes to 2 hours to feel the effects. It's important to start with a low dose and be patient. Effects can be more intense and long-lasting compared to inhalation. Product Variety: Marijuana edibles come in various forms and flavors, such as chocolates, gummies, baked goods, and beverages. This wide range allows consumers to choose options that suit their preferences. Safety and Responsibility: Ensure edibles are kept

 Avon Crest demolition begins "Last week marked the beginning of the end for the Avon Crest building, as demolition procedures were initiated on the structure that housed Stratford’s first hospital.  After 60 years of providing care to area residents, Avon Crest closed in 1950, coinciding with the opening of the Stratford General Hospital located across the street. Avon Crest then operated as a convalescent facility from 1955 to 1990. Outpatient services and administrative offices resided in the building until 2018 when they were also moved to Stratford General Hospital leaving the Avon Crest building vacant. Huron Perth Healthcare Alliance (HPHA) determined that increasing maintenance costs associated with a building constructed in 1889 made the continued operation of the building unaffordable. A recent press release from HPHA stated, “The limited funding the Huron Perth Healthcare Alliance receives is directed to providing healthcare services and not restoration of vacant bui

 THE DOER AND THE DOING  At the beginning of modern time measurement – was the clockmaker aware of how much time it took to build a clock? For those of us who work and are aware of the larger realm beyond the thing in which we partake, like the clockmaker who works within the realm of time, “creating" it while simultaneously living within it – we are perhaps cognizant of our actions on a level not necessarily thought about by others.  Other examples might be the manufacturer that makes the product which they themselves use, the player on stage who acts out a life similar or dissimilar to their own, the surgeon who saves a life in the operating room while recognizing that they may not rise from some scheduled operation themselves, or the funeral director that delves into all the elements of dying, without actually doing it – knowing it will come one day.  These examples might speak to a depth of involvement wherein the doer is acutely aware of the doing. The presence of such a fact

 Supplement Spotlight: Whey Protein From our Nutrition Gal: Lana "Whey Protein should be used to supplement your diet! Focusing on getting in protein through whole food sources should be your main priority, this is going to be better for digestion as well as getting in adequate micronutrients.  Whey is great for aiding in muscle recovery and is a great option if you are struggling to get in enough protein throughout your day. Taking whey protein powder daily can cause some digestive distress in people so just be mindful of how often you are using! #proteintoots 🙂 " https://www.dynafit.ca/

 Over the past few weeks we've shared some spotlights on some of our favourite supplements.  We were asked "why?" and naturally, we know if one person asks, there's more who would like the answer!! 1. We don't always have time to eat properly. Just like you, we have a lot going on in our days too- we don't always have time to sit down and eat a proper meal. 2. We KNOW how important it is to get adequate nutrients- this includes macronutrients such as protein, carbohydrates and fats but also includes vitamins and minerals such as magnesium, vitamin D, zinc and more! 3. We have some supplements on hand because they help us avoid overindulging on the things that are meant to be enjoyed in small quantities. Making sure that we have adequate nutrients throughout our day helps us to minimize cravings. One major thing to note though: while we enjoy our protein supplements (powder and bars) as snacks and meal substitutes or enhancements, we don't just supplement v

 Supplement Spotlight: Creatine "Creatine is one of the most researched supplements on the market and is underrated in my opinion.  Creatine has been shown to improve strength and muscle gains as well as anaerobic endurance. You do not need to do a loading phase but you do need to take it daily to see the benefits! There is currently no research on side effects of taking creatine during pregnancy or while breastfeeding so I would not use during these times.  As always ask your doctor before deciding whether a supplement is right for you!" -Lana Order yours now: https://www.dynafit.ca/product.../pakd-creatine-monohydrate
