		<description><![CDATA[The other day,  a friend told me about a mortgage broker she knows and I said &#8220;Huh? What does he do?&#8221;

		<description><![CDATA[
Penny had this question asked the other day &#8220;Is it a good time to invest in properties?&#8221; And I have replied this question with a resounding &#8220;YES!&#8221;
But then again, where property investment is concerned, investing now or later is still good. The old saying of &#8220;Location, location, location&#8221; still holds true no matter how it [...]]]></description>

I was telling her how we had bought our house over the weekend and she told me that she has never bought a house when her kids were small. She simply rented and now, after the kids are all well educated and grown up, she bought [...]]]></description>
