Key Factors To Consider When Choosing Investment Property

 Property investment is a significant financial decision that can yield long-term benefits if approached strategically. It’s not merely about acquiring a property; it’s about making an informed choice based on a range of critical factors. 

Understanding these elements can ensure a successful and profitable investment for those considering a Hamilton investment property.

1. Location

The importance of location in real estate cannot be overstated. A prime location enhances property value, provides access to essential services, and supports long-term growth. When evaluating a Hamilton investment property, consider the proximity to schools, shopping centres, transportation links, and recreational facilities. 

Furthermore, examine the area’s development plans and economic growth prospects, as these contribute to the property’s appreciation potential.

Key Considerations for Location:

Is the neighbourhood growing in popularity and development?

How accessible are essential services and public transport?

Are there future infrastructure projects planned that may impact property values positively?

By thoroughly analysing the location, you can identify opportunities aligning with immediate rental demand and future value appreciation.

2. Market Demand

Understanding market demand is crucial when choosing an investment property. The demand for rental properties or homes for sale in a particular area determines the ease with which you can rent or sell the property and influences its overall value. 

For example, Hamilton's investment property is gaining attention due to its appealing balance between urban amenities and suburban tranquillity, attracting professionals and families.

Analyse demographic trends, population growth, and employment rates in the area. A market with consistent growth and demand will offer higher rental yields and better prospects for property appreciation.

Market Analysis Tips:

Review local property market reports to understand current trends.

Attend open houses and engage with real estate agents for insights.

Research the area’s population and employment statistics to gauge potential demand.

3. Return on Investment (ROI)

A critical aspect of any property investment is the expected return on investment. Calculating the ROI involves evaluating rental yields, potential property appreciation, and associated costs such as taxes and maintenance. 

When considering a Hamilton investment property, ensure the numbers align with your financial goals. A high-demand area with strong rental prospects and growth potential can provide excellent returns, but it’s essential to factor in all expenses for an accurate ROI calculation.

Factors Affecting ROI:

Mortgage repayments and property taxes

Maintenance and property management fees

Insurance costs and potential renovation expenses

A thorough financial analysis will help determine if the investment aligns with your long-term financial objectives.

4. Property Condition

The condition of the property is another critical factor. Purchasing a property that requires significant renovation is an opportunity for value-adding, but it can also be a financial risk. 

A Hamilton investment property that is well-maintained or newly constructed may come at a higher price but can save on immediate repair costs, ensuring the property remains attractive to tenants and sustains rental income.

Essential Aspects to Inspect:

Roof and foundation integrity

Electrical and plumbing systems

General structure and overall condition

Investing in a property that requires minimal immediate repairs allows for a quicker turnaround in renting it out and ensures that you maintain a steady income stream.

5. Legal and Financial Obligations

Investing in property comes with various legal and financial responsibilities. When considering a Hamilton investment property, it is vital to understand local regulations, taxes, and fees associated with property ownership and rental. 

This includes landlord obligations, tenancy laws, and compliance with local building codes. Consulting with a real estate lawyer and financial advisor can help you navigate these aspects efficiently.

Key Financial Considerations:

Understand your tax obligations and potential benefits.

Familiarize yourself with local rental laws and regulations.

Budget for additional costs like insurance, property management, and maintenance.

Properly managing these elements will ensure your investment remains profitable and legally compliant, avoiding unexpected issues down the line.

6. Long-Term Potential

When choosing an investment property, it’s important to think beyond immediate rental income. The long-term potential of the area and the property itself is crucial. 

For instance, a Hamilton investment property located in an area with ongoing economic and infrastructure development is likely to appreciate significantly over time. This could provide a substantial return on investment when it comes time to sell.

Long-Term Growth Indicators:

Economic developments or new business districts emerging in the area

Government plans for infrastructure improvements or transportation networks

Future zoning changes that may enhance the property’s value

Monitoring these indicators ensures that you select a property with the potential for long-term appreciation, maximizing your investment’s future value.

Conclusion

Property investment requires a strategic approach that balances immediate rental potential with long-term growth prospects. Whether it’s evaluating the location, understanding market demand, or ensuring the property’s condition is up to standard, each factor plays a crucial role in making a successful investment decision. 

When considering a Hamilton Investment Property, a comprehensive analysis of these factors will help you make an informed and profitable choice. Investing with a clear strategy and a thorough understanding of the market can build a solid foundation for long-term financial success.

The scandal over the removal of land from the protected Greenbelt for a connected few could be just "the tip of the iceberg" as opposition parties called for a new investigation of a different set of land changes that may prove to be another type of headache for Ontario's beleaguered government.

Land south of Hamilton was moved into the city's urban boundary — a boon for developers — on the same day as the Greenbelt land swap, and just months after the integrity commissioner found a landowner bought tickets to the stag and doe party for the daughter of Premier Doug Ford(opens in a new tab), documents show.

"We're going to be writing to the auditor general to investigate this. We're going to be asking tough questions in the legislature. This is not over," NDP MPP Sandy Shaw said in an interview.

That landowner, developer Sergio Manchia, told CTV News Toronto he had no insider knowledge.

"It was widely known that the minister might take the action that he did later that fall to impose expansion. We had no inside information. When properties came onto the market that year, we thought it would be a good investment, considering what was publicly known. We had expressed interest in them as far back as 2020," Manchia said in an emailed statement. [...]

The philanthropist and billionaire Mortimer Zuckerman cut off millions of dollars in funding to Columbia University citing the school's failure to address rising anti-Semitism, the Washington Free Beacon has learned. Zuckerman pledged $200 million in 2012 to endow an institute focused on interdisciplinary neuroscience research. But the billionaire owner of U.S. News & World Report began questioning Columbia's handling of rampant campus anti-Semitism following Hamas's Oct. 7 attacks on Israel and ultimately halted funding after several months of discussions, according to a Zuckerman Family Office spokeswoman.FreeBeacon

"The recent decisions and actions taken by Columbia have been antithetical to the University's mission and it is simply not the same institution it was when Mr. Zuckerman made the pledge," the spokeswoman told the Free Beacon. "We will continue to evaluate the situation in the hope that Columbia will restore its reputation, standing and mission as a respected educational institution."

Zuckerman founded Boston Properties, a real estate investment trust, and ran it for nearly 50 years before stepping down as chairman in 2016. In addition to U.S. News & World Report, where he serves as editor in chief and publisher, Zuckerman also owned the New York Daily News for 24 years until he sold it in 2017.

The son of Ukrainian Jewish immigrants, Zuckerman has consistently donated to a variety of Jewish and pro-Israel causes. In 2016, for example, he launched a $100 million STEM initiative to provide scholarships for American and Israeli researchers, with the goal of fostering scientific collaboration between the United States and Israel.

For months, Zuckerman engaged in conversations with Columbia, raising concerns about the school's governance and handling of campus anti-Semitism following Oct. 7, the Zuckerman Family Office spokeswoman told the Free Beacon. Columbia, in response, requested time to "rebuild trust and demonstrate better governance."

But that rebuilding failed to take shape, prompting Zuckerman, a media and real estate mogul, to pause millions in funding. Columbia had become the forefront of campus anti-Semitism, with protesters eventually storming Hamilton Hall and barricading its entrance. In-person classes and the main graduation ceremony were canceled.

Maybe I’m just a jaded Marxian, but I don’t really… think he’s wrong. It’s a pretty honest reading of the Constitution and especially of the Federalist Papers.

In the Federalist Papers, Hamilton (who basically represented the interests of what would become Wall Street) and Madison (a very rich slaveholder invested in maintaining the plantation economy) wrote a LOT about how careful they were to prevent the “tyranny of the majority” and protect the “rights of the minority.” In broad terms, this sounds like it might be really noble, right?

Put it in context for a second, though. These guys were defending a Constitution which would only allow white men who held property to vote. What was the “majority” they were afraid of and the “minority” they wanted to protect?

They wanted to protect the wealth of the few from the prying hands of the many. It’s as simple as that.

Unfortunately, this guy is right about something for once.

Percy Jackson and The Olympians

(Originally posted on my personal Facebook dated February 1, 2024)

I've been meaning to write another review of a piece of media that I liked for a while now, following my extensive review of The Owl House back in mid-2023, so here goes me again, rambling about it.

When the Disney+ adaptation of Percy Jackson and The Olympians was announced some time ago, me and my high school self were excited to know the series would be in good hands, coming from the same place that gave us gems like Star Wars: Andor and WandaVision, this time, with much more participation from author Rick Riordan himself, AKA, the cooler, less-problematic version of J.K. Rowling. For context, Percy Jackson and The Olympians is technically a Disney property, since it was distributed by Disney-Hyperion Books back in the day. Don't get me wrong though. At this point, I have no love for the multi-billion corporate titan that is Disney. I am more invested in the stories they tell, which I wish would just exist as their own thing, independent of the looming shadow of The Mouse.

Disney+'s Percy Jackson and The Olympians did a good job so far, in my opinion as a fan of the books, to adapt The Lightning Thief (the 1st entry in the OG series) into the age of streaming with a Herculean debut 1st season. Writing-wise, I acknowledge the effort put into it being a more loyal adaptation of the source material compared to the cheesy and gods-awful movies of the early 2010s, even though it threw in some creative liberties here and there, which I have no qualms with. I felt like what it did best was to focus less on all the wide-eyed fantasy of Greek Mythology and all its gods, monsters, and heroes, and explore more of the grounded human emotion and familial relationships of its cast of characters, from Percy and his mother and the subsequent quest to save her from the Underworld; the messy family of the Greek Pantheon and its bloody history; to even Medusa, whose story is a grim reminder that the Greek gods are problematic and flawed figures that should not be put on a pedestal willy-nilly.

Acting highlights for me were Walker Scobell's performance of Percy, that managed to portray the witty and world-weary personality of his character properly; Jason Mantzoukas (Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Close Enough) as the sarcastic Dionysus, who makes it clear he is not enjoying his punishment on Camp Half-Blood, denied the hedonism of alcohol and festivity, which he is best known for; Lin-Manuel Miranda (Hamilton, In The Heights, Encanto) as Hermes, who plays a more serious role of a father acknowledging his part in the emotional damage he has caused his family; Lance Reddick (John Wick, White House Down) as Zeus, who was stern and imposing as you'd know the head Olympian to be, making it a memorable posthumous performance, following his passing back in March 2023; and Adam "Edge" Copeland as Ares, who channeled the feral energy of his WWE persona into the unhinged fire-starter god of war.

The music and score were able to instill all the drama of Greek hero stories, mixing glory, tension, and melancholy well, and the cinematography and effects wonderfully brought to life the worlds and the multiple monsters of Greek myth as well as other concepts from the books, like gods showing their true forms, which was said to be fatal to mortal beings should they lay eyes on them. Fortunately, unlike what I just mentioned, it was all a great sight to witness.

If you're a fan of the entire PJO/Heroes of Olympus/etc. universe that Rick Riordan has brought out into the world, then I think you'd be in for a treat when you give this series a spin.

INTERVIEW: The next big thing? - Exclusive F1 interview with Ferrari's rising star (Motorsport.com, 2017)

source: motorsport.com published: july 2017 series: f2, 2017

Excerpts:

How come your family was in Monaco?

Well my father has always been there. My mum then married my father and became Monegasque also.

Your grandparents were as well?

Yeah. They had, well my grandfather had quite a big plastic industry and then my father had some little industries for himself but to be honest, he was more following me on the races than anything.

So is it a rich family?

No. My parents aren't particularly rich, my grandparents were a little bit, so they were helping us pay for the hotels and all that but they never wanted to invest in anything in racing.

How far did your dad's career go?

He went into Formula 3 then he tested in Formula 1 once or twice, but he never had the budget. It was like 10 years before I was born, so that's why I don't know much about it

Was he always keen for you to race? Did he push you into it?

No, I don't think he was. Actually, on the way back after I did my first laps, which I asked for on the karting, I said to my father 'I want to do that when I'm older'. And from then on we were going very, very often to Jules' track, probably every weekend to drive because I was really asking for it, and obviously my father was more than happy that I was driving because it was his passion, but he has never pushed me. I mean I always wanted to go there so it wasn't necessary for him to push me.

Charles Leclerc is a name that you will be hearing a lot in the next few months.

He is dominating the FIA F2 championship this season (the re-branded GP2) and at Silverstone this weekend he took his fifth victory of his rookie season to open up an 87 point lead in the table.

In two weeks his attention will turn to F1 testing with Ferrari after the Hungarian Grand Prix. Leclerc will drive for the Scuderia on one of the two days of testing before the summer shutdown and it is likely that from there attention on him will grow as the market for F1 seats for 2018 begins in earnest.

The Ferrari Academy driver is a hot property, so JA on F1 took the opportunity - before the stampede - to visit the F2 paddock to get some exclusive time with the next big thing to find out more about the man behind the name.

Leclerc is from Monaco, his father used to race F3 cars not terribly succesfully, but he was mentored by Jules Bianchi, who passed away after a serious accident in the 2014 Japanese Grand Prix.

Leclerc has lost two people close to him recently, as his father died shortly before the Baku weekend. Leclerc went out and won that race, demonstrating a strong mentality.

Apart from his speed, what catches the eye about Leclerc in the car is his calmness and racing brain. He makes few mistakes and is capable of overtakes like a Hamilton and a Verstappen, but more driven by calculation than aggression. He is not the finished article, of course, but the raw materials are there for a different kind of driver.

So, let's go back a little bit to the origins, how did you start racing?.

Yeah my dad used to race in F3 but his best friend was also the father of Jules. So every time we had free time we were going to the track so that's how I actually started when we were going there. The first time I went there I was probably three-and-a-half and I didn't want to go to school, so I told my dad I was sick and he brought me to Phillippe's track and there Jules' dad was driving, obviously, and I did my first lap behind Phillippe with a rope attaching his go-kart to my go-kart, to be sure that I knew the basis before. Then I did half a lap and he took off the rope and that's how I started.

How come your family was in Monaco?

Well my father has always been there. My mum then married my father and became Monegasque also.

Your grandparents were as well?

Yeah. They had, well my grandfather had quite a big plastic industry and then my father had some little industries for himself but to be honest, he was more following me on the races than anything.

So is it a rich family?

No. My parents aren't particularly rich, my grandparents were a little bit, so they were helping us pay for the hotels and all that but they never wanted to invest in anything in racing,

How far did your dad's career go?

He went into Formula 3 then he tested in Formula 1 once or twice, but he never had the budget. It was like 10 years before I was born, so that's why I don't know much about it

Was he always keen for you to race? Did he push you into it?

No I don't think he was. Actually, on the way back after I did my first laps, which I asked for on the karting, I said to my father 'I want to do that when I'm older'. And from then on we were going very, very often to Jules' track, probably every weekend to drive because I was really asking for it, and obviously my father was more than happy that I was driving because it was his passion, but he has never pushed me. I mean I always wanted to go there so it wasn't necessary for him to push me.

What were the turning points along the way? If you had to identify moments where things really turned.

Hm. Well obviously, my first race I did, Jules was my mechanic, so obviously there he taught me a lot from the beginning which helped me to work maybe a bit quicker than others. Then I would say 2011 when Nicolas [Todt, Leclerc's manager] took me, obviously it was a big moment in my career because at the end of that year I would have stopped, because my sponsor couldn't have afforded the other budgets.

Jules has helped me massively to make contact with Nicolas, explaining to him the situation of my career, that I will have stopped at the end of the year. And luckily Nicolas helped me, and since then he has helped me hugely. Then in 2014, when I went up to cars, that has been quite a big moment also and 2016 which was my first year as a Ferrari Academy driver.

And you won championships along the way, which has not been easy – some big fights. But you seem as you've gotten older you've gotten more – not dominant, too strong a word – much stronger as you progressed up the category?

Yeah well I believe, yeah. As I said I think, I had a really good godfather, that was Jules, and that helped me massively to grow up as a driver especially as I made my step up to cars. Well, his crash arrived quite early in my car career, but he has helped me hugely to get into this world and then my father - even though he hasn't been to a very high motorsport level - his advice was always very good and I think circumstances I've been in in the last two years, losing two very close people, have made me a lot stronger as a person.

Obviously it was a big shock for all of us what happened with Jules, but did that hit you very hard? Did that take a while to get over? You were very young as well.

Yeah I mean; Jules, it was a bit like the family, my brother was his best friend. So, yeah it has been very hard at the beginning. It still is obviously but I need to do well for them up there. It has been a shock. Once I knew, I remember I was in Jerez for the last round of the championship and my father wouldn't tell me what happened and I learned eventually and obviously it was quite hard.

What happened in the race? Do you remember what you were thinking? Or did you forget about it and drive the car?

Well I had to. Obviously it's quite hard in these types of circumstances but that's how – I've seen it the way that I had to do the best job I could in the car. Obviously in that moment I didn't really know all about his real state because we didn't have any news in Jerez, yet but I knew the accident was quite bad but I told myself that I knew that Jules - and my father, in Baku - would be happy for me to do well and not to think about it and not do a bad race. So that's the only thing I was thinking about; trying to do the best I could for them.

In the Formula 1 paddock people were really impressed with that; impressed that you turned up for the next race and won in Baku. That really made an impression in the Formula 1 paddock And obviously the way you drive, I've worked with Senna and Schumacher, you have a calmness as a driver. I mean, when you need to get on with it you do and you make the passes, but you don't make the passes in a very aggressive way, and it seems to me that you make them in a thoughtful way. Is that right?

Yes. I think I've definitely improved in this since I was younger. I was very very emotional when I was younger. I could get quite angry very quickly and I knew that was my weakness and I've worked on it quite a lot.

How?

With Formula Medicine [an organisation run by Dr Cecharelli], who are helping (mentally) the drivers to just stay as calm as possible. I have actually been doing that for nine years now; to mentally work on myself, which I think is very very important and now for two years I'm working with the mental trainers of Ferrari which are amazing also. And that's helped me a lot to improve in this manner, to stay calm in these difficult times, that was quite difficult from me in the beginning.

And one of the things I've noticed working with champions over the years is that when they've had a big setback, they first seekto understand it, and then they throw it away like a piece of rubbish and move on and never think about it again otherwise it drags you down, doesn't it?

Right, exactly. I think, in sport the last part of the season in F3 was hugely difficult and to come back from that in GP3 has been quite hard. And as I said I think until I was 11 years old I would have never thought the mental aspect of a driver is that important and once I started to actually work on it and see the improvements I actually think that a driver cannot be good if his mental aspect is not right.

The other thing I'm fascinated with is that we all see the talented guys coming through from the juniors, like you, Lewis or Verstappen. But now there is a real debate about how long it should take to arrive in F1. Verstappen went straight in from F3, Lewis took a few more steps. You're doing it more like him, F3, GP3, F2, you're not straight from F3 into F1. I can't help but feel that these extra couple of steps are a good idea.

Yes. It depends on the driver; I think some people adapt very quickly, not not all of them.

It depends also on how you look at things. With my manager, Nicolas, we think that if one day I want to go into F1, I want to be 200% ready and that's what we hare aiming for. That's why we did so many steps in the junior categories. I did one year in more or less every category that was useful to arrive in F1. And looking back at it I think we did well. This year I feel more ready than I've ever been, a lot of experience. So yeah, looking back at things I wouldn't change anything. I'm very happy with how we solved things and how we managed my career until now.

Last year you got a taste of F1, driving Friday FP1 for Haas at several races. But to get a taste of F1 before F2 is good because you know where you're aiming for, where the next step looks like?

Definitely. But I also thought there's a positive part and a negative part to that situation I was in. Doing an FP1 at the same weekend as a GP3 weekend for me wasn't the best thing we could've done,b ecause F1 and GP3 are two completely different cars and to be honest to go from F1 to GP3 in the same weekend has been very, very hard to manage last year.

But working with an F1 team and working with people, drivers like Romain [Grosjean] who has huge experience has been very helpful for me. To see how they work, to see the little details that maybe you don't put much importance on when you're younger actually seeing the F1 drivers mentioning it and taking a long time to analyse it in the briefings helped me usually to check every little detail and to try to improve absolutely everything. That has helped me massively.

But the plus is that it must have made you more adaptable, whcih is a really important quality in F1. The top F1 drivers all need to be adaptable.

Right. I think it also made me a bit weaker in the middle part of the GP3 season when I did that because going from F1 to GP3 I struggled to come back from F1 to GP3. I think I could have done better.

That's interesting; were you honest with yourself while it was going on and telling those around 'I'm struggling with this transition?'

Oh yeah completely, I said to the team in GP3 that I wasn't taking 100% of the car and I still believe that I didn't, in this middle part, I didn't show the best of myself and it's a shame. But I think we have learned from it and yeah, this year if we have the possibility to do some FP1s at the middle of this year I wouldn't take it. I'm very happy to be in this position I'm in now.

I bet you are. Just 100% focused on winning the championship.

Exactly, and I'm very happy about this to have managed to have a fully focused season middle of the season, for now here in F2 and don't think about anything else apart from F2.

How would you describe this championship that you're in? There's some pretty good drivers around, there's a few that have been here for a few years. Not that many rookies apart from you, how would you describe driving in this championship?

I think obviously the drivers in F2 are very talented I mean drivers like Oliver Rowland or Alex Albon are very talented and in F2, (formerly GP2) I think we are seeing many times that experienced drivers are taking a bit the upper hand off the talented drivers in this category because obviously with the tyres, it's quite difficult to understand them.

Pirelli is quite a huge step compared to every Formula we've had before and yeah to a driver it's quite hard to learn all of this very quickly. Luckily I have a great team this year who are helping me to learn the car very quickly and yeah, to be honest it wasn't my weakest point of adapting to cars quickly. I've always been quite OK with [Adapting to the tyres].

In Bahrain I remember you'd learned a lot in the first race about how to manage the tyres as you had not quite got it right and since then you've really got it right pretty much every time

I'm still learning right now but the first two weeks I've learned a huge amount.

For the degradation, in Bahrain it was the worst track of the season for the tyre degradation, so to start for this one as the first race was very hard. But I think we managed quite well with the third place and then a nice strategy in the sprint race to win.

It's definitely part of the learning programme of this year and we knew it would be so.

Obviously quite a few drivers have been in your position, won the final step of the ladder and not got further. You got on the radar with a lot of people in F1, the Ferrari driver academy and the right manager. Do you worry a little bit about whether the journey continues or do you feel like you do the best you do on the track and leave the rest of it to the people around you to make it happen?

I think I'm in a lucky place and I'm lucky enough to have very good surroundings that are taking care of my career. Ferrari obviously are amazing and are supporting me and trying to find solutions for me next year and I have an amazing manager that is Nicolas, helping me since 2011 and I'm giving my- I never know this word in English – confiance.

Faith.

Yes, exactly. I'm giving my total faith to them for them to find me a place, which is very good because I just have to focus on driving and I feel very lucky to be in this position because I believe not many drivers are in this position to be able to fully have faith in their surroundings.

Would you say from your experience, your journey, you're looking at people coming up behind you that F2 is an important step. Lance Stroll and Max Verstappen have jumped it, quite a few people have, but is this an important step for you?

Yeah definitely, I think the F2 cars are definitely the closest to F1, the drivers are a lot more experienced as I said and you can always learn anyway but obviously I think in this category it's one of the categories I've learned the most. Especially with the degradation of the tyre you don't have anything similar before it and yeah I think the biggest aspect is the degradation of the tyre that is very helpful for the future because in F1 it is a big factor and to learn and to make experience with this car, this year, is very important.

Finally, I've noticed that you don't make very many mistakes. I didn't watch all of your races earlier on, is that something you've always had or something you've had to work on as you've gotten higher up in the category

I think that came a little bit with the mentality, to stay calm in the difficult situations, to avoid stupid errors in the difficult situations, that helped me to be a bit stronger and obviously during the last two years I became a lot more strong mentally and that helped me to avoid making stupid mistakes as I was doing before.

F1 and other racing series related news, rumours and interesting bits

Rally Monte Carlo is happening this week from 24th to 28th (and for anyone interested, Red Bull TV is supposed to broadcast it)

Ferrari post about a new "journey" which looks to be boat racing

Roman Staněk keeps his place in Trident team for 2024 f2 season

Public Investment Fund of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is now a part of "Electric 360" initiative (it includes Formula E, Extreme E and E1 Electric boat series), probably thanks to a close contact with Formula E chairman

Lando Norris' Quadrant project will now have a new co-owner, YouTuber Will Lenney who should also be a content creator for the brand (and apparently it's a very famous youtuber?)

there are multiple articles about Ferrari's project 676, mostly they report some details about technical direction of the car, that it's ready for Bahrain, that the development plan for the season is ready and how the car launch should look (more traditional, online without fans present like in 2023, with a shakedown)

Madrid gp got announced today with some new details (contract for 2026-2035, 20 turns etc etc), as of now Barcelona is in the contract talks as well

Laguna Seca circuit in California gets sued for basically being too loud for the property owners near the track, so if they suceed, it could potentially mean no more racing there for multiple series including Indycar

there are two articles I refuse to read: one about Max Verstappen's "daddy issues" and one about "Lewis Hamilton spending evening with Ronaldo's ex"

Ralf Schumacher says that Haas should hire Szafnauer for the team

Williams are rumoured to show a full new identity in New York including slight color change, maybe a logo change...

America has, unfortunately, created an unhealthy economic system in which most homeowners’ biggest financial asset is their own home. Therefore they are extremely invested in the project of protecting their own property value. The main way that they do this is by maintaining single-family zoning and other policies that suppress construction and keep their own neighborhoods exclusive. Homeowners, the single most influential political class at the municipal level of politics, want higher home values.

Hamilton Nolan

[publius-library]

What was Hamilton's opinion on people of color? (Outside of slavery, like just them in general)

Well, firstly I'd like to narrow down which people of color we're discussing. Hamilton's opinion of Indigenous people is pretty much the same as his opinion of black people, which generally boils down to being that they are people and not property. However, he was very suspicious of the natives and their loyalty. Federalists did not support westward expansion, so there's that. Hamilton, as someone highly invested in finance and economy, believed that the country's best bet was to maintain amiable relations with Indigenous tribes.

As for people of color outside of Indigenous and black people, I do not know anything of his opinion.

Now, to the elephant in the room. Hamilton explicitly discusses his views on slavery and African Americans in a letter to John Jay on March 14, 1779. I just had to analyze this letter not too long ago, so it's fresh on my mind.

In this letter, he defends John Laurens' plan to raise black battalions to fill the extreme need for more men in the war. Hamilton endorses this plan to Jay, who was serving as the president of the Continental Congress, where Laurens would be presenting his plan. In this letter, he states,

"The contempt we have been taught to entertain for the blacks, makes us fancy many things that are founded neither in reason nor experience; and an unwillingness to part with property of so valuable a kind will furnish a thousand arguments to show the impracticability or pernicious tendency of a scheme which requires such a sacrifice."

What I find interesting here is his acknowledgment of the fact that racism is learned, not inherited. I haven't seen anyone else make this specification from this time period, so that is very interesting to me. The next sentence seems contradictory from a modern perspective, since if the previous clause hadn't been there, it could seem as if it came from someone who was more moderate or centrist. Knowing that, during this period, Hamilton was the most opposed to slavery that he would be, I see this as almost foreshadowing his near apathy towards slavery later in life. We're not talking about slavery specifically here, but that is noteworthy.

Hamilton also comments on his opinion of what kind of soldiers black people will be:

I have not the least doubt, that the negroes will make, very excellent soldiers, with proper management... It is a maxim with some great military judges, that the sensible officers can hardly be too stupid; and on this principle it is thought that the Russians would make the best troops in the world, if they were under other officers than their own... I mention this, because I frequently hear it object to the scheme of embodying negroes that they are too stupid to make soldiers. This is so far from appearing to me a valid objection that I think their want of cultivation (for their natural faculties are probably as good as ours) joined to that habit of subordination which they acquire from a life of servitude will make them sooner became soldiers than our White inhabitants. Let officers be men of sense and sentiment, and nearer the soldiers approach to machines perhaps the better.

That's a long quote, but trust me, the actual paragraph is far longer.

So, Hamilton's overall point here is that good officers make good soldiers, but in that he gives a very good picture of how he views black soldiers. He says that their natural faculties are probably as good as that of white soldiers (whether you think this is him not fully believing it, or attempting to avoid offending Jay, that's up to you). He also mentions that he believes their "habit of subordination" results from being enslaved, which is something his contemporaries, such as Jefferson, have only stated as being a possibility. He, unlike Jefferson, believed that it is the factual origin of this stereotype.

His final comment may draw some attention, since the use of the word "machine" can appear quite dehumanizing. In this instance, he is referring to the behaviors of soldiers as being machinelike. Where I believe the dehumanization aspect comes in is where he believes it is easier for black people to fit this characteristic than white people. Though, taking into consideration his previous statement, it makes sense. Hamilton was very careful with his words, and this choice seems a bit harsh to me, so that's why I think its noteworthy.

Overall, the impression that we get from this letter is that Hamilton believes those enslaved people of African consent are inherently equal to the white population, however the centuries of enslavement have greatly limited their opportunities that would typically be awarded to white people, such as basic education, and, you know, freedom.

After Laurens' death, Hamilton's anti-slavery passion highly fades. He does become a part of the New York Manumission Society, and he never says anything that contradicts the ideas stated in the above letter, he doesn't say much else to add to this. Hamilton knew, even back in 1779, that abolition was unattainable at the time, but I also believe that it wasn't as much of a priority to him. Unlike Laurens, it wasn't a core value of his.

I hope this helps. It's pretty hard to discuss race outside of the context of slavery in this time period, but I work with what I've got. Thanks for the ask!!

"[T]he supreme being gave existence to man, together with the means of preserving and beatifying that existence. He endowed him with rational faculties, by the help of which, to discern and pursue such things, as were consistent with his duty and interest, and invested him with an inviolable right to personal liberty, and personal safety.

Hence, in a state of nature, no man had any moral power to deprive another of his life, limbs, property or liberty; nor the least authority to command, or exact obedience from him; except that which arose from the ties of consanguinity.

Hence also, the origin of all civil government, justly established, must be a voluntary compact, between the rulers and the ruled; and must be liable to such limitations, as are necessary for the security of the absolute rights of the latter; for what original title can any man or set of men have, to govern others, except their own consent? To usurp dominion over a people, in their own despite, or to grasp at a more extensive power than they are willing to entrust, is to violate that law of nature, which gives every man a right to his personal liberty; and can, therefore, confer no obligation to obedience."

-Alexander Hamilton, "The Farmer Refuted" (1775)

If it is possible, can you tell us more about James Jr (the brother of ham sr) ?

Knowledge about James's life is very scant, and there is little to say.

James Hamilton Jr was born sometime in 1753, having been named after his father, James Hamilton. Four or two years later, James's younger brother, Alexander Hamilton, was born on the 11th of January. Rachel inherited a property in the capital Charlestown, and also three enslaved servants from her mother who were; Rebecca, Flora, and Esther, one of them had a son named Ajax. He was assigned to care for James Jr and his brother.

February 19, 1768, his mother died from Yellow Fever. The town judge supplied both James Jr and Hamilton some shoes and veils for their mother's funeral. James Jr and his brother had to wait as the court struggled to settle the complicated decision of what to do with Rachel's property, children, and debts.

“The court decided that it had to consider three possible heirs: Peter Lavien, whose father had divorced Rachel ‘for valid reasons (according to information obtained by the court) by the highest authority,’ and the illegitimate James and Alexander, the ‘obscene children born after the deceased person's divorce.’”

(source — Alexander Hamilton, by Ron Chernow)

After that, the two Hamilton boys were sent to live with their thirty-two year old cousin, Peter Lytton. Who was a less than an ideal caretaker, with his failed business investments, and his brother considered him “insane”.

(Tw; minor talk of suicide)

On July 16, 1769, Peter was found dead in his bed, soaked in a pool of his own blood. Court records deducted it was an act of suicide, and that Peter had either shot or stabbed himself. The Hamilton boys were left out of Peter's will, and instead focused on supplying Ledja - Peter's black mistress - and their mixed-race son. Then James Lytton, Peter's father and the boys' uncle, tried to assist the them when he heard of Peter's death. But he wasn't very successful due to more court complications that came alongside Peter's death. Yet, that same year in August, James Lytton had also died; and failed to mention his nephews in his will that was prepared five days beforehand.

After this, James and his younger brother were separated, and would never see the other again. James was then apprenticed by an aging Christiansted carpenter, Thomas McNobeny. Which was telling about his limited abilities. Most white folk shied away from crafts such as carpentry, where they had to compete with folks of mixed races, or even skilled slave labor. Chernow points out that if James shown any real promise or head for business; it is doubtful that he would have dropped so low as to resort to manual work. Being an awful contrast to his younger brother, who had begun to clerk for the mercantile house of Beekman and Cruger, the New York traders who had supplied his mother with provisions. It implies James Jr was the less educated of the two, or perhaps he was more brawny.

Not much can be said about James and his adult life. But his grown-up younger brother had gained contact with him sometime in 1785. Hamilton wrote to James Jr 2 months before James sent a letter to Hamilton, in which he described his poor conditions. Hamilton soon replied with another letter;

“New York, June 22, 1785.

My Dear Brother:

I have received your letter of the 31st of May last, which, and one other, are the only letters I have received from you in many years. I am a little surprised you did not receive one which I wrote to you about six months ago. The situation you describe yourself to be in gives me much pain, and nothing will make me happier than, as far as may be in my power, to contribute to your relief. I will cheerfully pay your draft upon me for fifty pounds sterling, whenever it shall appear. I wish it was in my power to desire you to enlarge the sum; but though my future prospects are of the most flattering kind my present engagements would render it inconvenient to me to advance you a larger sum. My affection for you, however, will not permit me to be inattentive to your welfare, and I hope time will prove to you that I feel all the sentiment of a brother. Let me only request of you to exert your industry for a year or two more where you are, and at the end of that time I promise myself to be able to [invite you to a more] comfortable settlement [in this Country. Allow me only to give you one caution, which is to avoid if possible getting in debt. Are you married or single? If the latter, it is my wish for many reasons it may be agreeable to you to continue in that state.

But what has become of our dear father? It is an age since I have heared] from him or of him, though I have written him several letters. Perhaps, alas! he is no more, and I shall not have the pleasing opportunity of contributing to render the close of his life more happy than the progress of it. My heart bleeds at the recollection of his misfortunes and embarrassments. Sometimes I flatter myself his brothers have extended their support to him, and that he now enjoys tranquillity and ease. At other times I fear he is suffering in indigence. I entreat you, if you can, to relieve me from my doubts, and let me know how or where he is, if alive, if dead, how and where he died. Should he be alive inform him of my inquiries, beg him to write to me, and tell him how ready I shall be to devote myself and all I have to his accommodation and happiness.

I do not advise your coming to this country at present, for the war has also put things out of order here, and people in your business find a subsistence difficult enough. My object will be, by-and-by, to get you settled on a farm.

Believe me always your affectionate friend and brother,

Alex. Hamilton”

(source — Alexander Hamilton to James Hamilton Jr, [June 22, 1785])

The brothers seemed to have shared longer correspondence, but only a fragment survives with this one letter. James seemed to have confined to his brother about a sort of pain he is in, wether emotional or physical isn't specified.

Despite their long distance through the many years, Hamilton is happy to send his brother cash to help himself with. Which seems to his way of promising James he still cares about him as his brother; “My affection for you, however, will not permit me to be inattentive to your welfare, and I hope time will prove to you that I feel all the sentiment of a brother.”

Hamilton was preparing for his brother to move to America with him, where there he would be able to better support his brother. Even teasingly telling him that if he wasn't yet married to wait so he could get himself an American wife.

It isn't known if James Jr was still in contact with his father or not, but Hamilton seems to think so. And considering later Hamilton himself got back in contact with their father, it isn't unlikely to assume James Jr had sooner.

The letter was apparently given to the National Intelligencer by a Hamilton family member;

“A member of the family of the late General Alexander Hamilton has handed us a copy of the subjoined letter from that distinguished soldier and statesman to his brother, which it is thought will possess interest for our readers.”

(source — Littell's Living Age, Volume 60)

Although interestingly enough, James Jr disappears from the St. Croix and Nevis records after 1786. Danish writer, Holger Utke Ramsing; found that the only Hamilton recorded to be living in St. Croix after 1786 was a “Madame Anna Hamilton,” and Ramsing presumed that was his childless widow. However, Mennonite records show that, in 1889, a Benjamin Franklin Hamilton was ordained as a bishop, and he is recorded to be the son of a nephew of Alexander Hamilton.

The Hamilton National Genealogical Society has a record of James Jr apparently marrying a Catherine or Courtney Bailey in Baltimore in 1796. And then dying there in 1835, almost 40 years after his assumed death date. Ramsing assumed James had died in 1786 due to his absence in the St. Croix property records, but that would not be true if Benjamin's lineage is accurate. Ramsing did publish his findings in 1939 — so it is plausible he overlooked or was not presented with American records due to old technologically, or distance constraints. If James migrated to Baltimore in 1786, it would explain his absence from St. Croix. It isn't definitively known if Anna Hamilton was even related to James or an unrelated woman with a shared surname. As it is also possible he was common-law married to Anna before abandoning her to go to the States, but there is, unfortunately, no way for us to know for certain. Additionally, Mitchell Hamilton argues that James Jr lived on several of the southern islands before he moved to St. Vincent sometime before June, 1793.

So overall, it is likely James Jr probably left the Carribean for America like Hamilton wanted around 1786. And then settled in Baltimore, where he married a Miss Bailey and the couple had some children. To which then they had children, one of whom became a Mennonite bishop. But not much else is known about him, and there are no mentions of Hamilton and James ever meeting in America.

Investment Property - Knowing About The Options You Have In Funds

Property is one of the best avenues for investment if you have the right motivation and approach. However, there are multiple types of Hamilton Investment Property to choose from, and more complex factors to consider. Here we will discuss some of these aspects:

Investment Property Tips

Not All Property funds are the Same

Not all property funds are the same. There are different types of property funds, and some are better than others in terms of tax efficiency, risk level and performance history.

Some types of property fund include:

Open-ended - these funds allow investors to buy and sell units at any time, with no lock-in period (other than the initial investment period). These are generally more flexible but also more expensive because they can be bought or sold on a daily basis.

Closed-ended - these funds only raise capital once then invest it for a fixed period before liquidating their assets. This limits your ability to trade in and out of your investment easily but ensures you don’t miss out on any growth over this time period either.

Property Funds Can be a Good Long-Term Investment

Property funds can be a good long-term investment, but there are a few things you should keep in mind.

The returns from property funds are not guaranteed. So if you're thinking of investing money that you may need to access at short notice, or that isn't yours (like your partner's), then it might be best to stick with cash or bonds instead.

The value of your investment could go down as well as up, so make sure you know what the risks are before investing anything more than what you can afford to lose!

Do You Have Enough Capital to Invest?

If you have enough capital to invest, it is important to know how much capital you need and how much profit you need to make in order for it to be worth investing.

For example, if your entire portfolio is $100k and the annual returns are 5%, then the amount of money that needs to be invested into an investment property each year would be $5k.

If this were not done, then there would not be enough profit generated from the investment property (which means no income).

However, if we change things up slightly by saying that a certain amount of money needs to be made on each deal - let's say 6% - then now we have a problem because they are making less than what they could possibly make elsewhere (we can't expect them all or most people who invest in real estate).

The Basics of Property Investing

There are two main types of property funds: open-ended and closed-ended.

Open-ended fund: This type of fund has no fixed limit to its investment capacity, which means that as more investors invest in it, the value of the fund increases.

When you invest in an open-ended fund, you can buy units or shares and any money invested will be pooled together with other investors' monies. This makes it easier for companies who want to raise capital from investors by offering them a share (or a unit) of their ownership.

The advantages of investing in open ended property funds include:

They're flexible when it comes to buying units or shares because they don't have a fixed number available for sale at all times like closed ended funds do; instead there's usually unlimited amount available so you can buy all the ones that fit your budget without worrying about having too much left over (although sometimes there may be too many people trying to buy into one particular fund which might make access difficult).

You can get higher returns because these investments tend to have higher growth rates than other types such as bonds or stocks because they yield more than just cash interest payments - they also generate capital gain income through property appreciation which is why some people believe this type should be part of their portfolio mix even though others disagree with this notion altogether!

Conclusion

There are many ways to invest in Hamilton Investment Property and the advantages can be significant. However, it's important to understand all of the different types of funds, what they offer and how they work before making a decision on which one is right for you.

where would you move to if not toronto? i feel all my friends have toronto as the ideal living place (bonkers rent aside) but also we are literally all from small town northern ontario lol

I get why people move here! I mean I literally am here. it was fine. it is fine. it has all the amenities you want in a big city, like some semblance of public infrastructure, non white people, queer people, communists, certain health services, arts, food, weird niche scenes and stores and whatever. BUT,

now that I've been here for a decade, the rent that was astronomically expensive to me (coming from montreal 2014, where we had an old but comfy 2br for $750/mo total. $325/mo each) when I first got here now seems laughably cheap. it's miserable, yet competitive, and a lot of people get locked into shitty living situations out of fear of the nightmare of finding a new place to live. people often remark about the chill vibes montreal has (or had, depends who you ask), and ultimately a lot of it came down to: not having to hustle your ass off because you could have a beautiful walk-up in a nice medium-density neighbourhood for <$500, and being able to get good microbrews and wine at your corner store, lmao. QC tuition is also cheap for QC residents, and still cheaper than most places for out-of-province, so it really is/was The Place to be a student.

but back to hating toronto: the sprawl is sickening! you get a reprieve in certain neighbourhoods but it's just concrete on concrete on concrete mostly. I feel claustrophobic and trapped here. it takes over an hour IN A CAR to leave the city, or more like two hours if you get unlucky on the 401. if you don't drive? lmao. the commutes that people treat as 'normal' here are unbelievable and inhumane. if I want to be 'in nature' i have to make a whole trip out of it, like that's my entire day. and even then it involves shielding your eyes from the city and pretending it's not there while you look at the lake, or high park, or whatever. I never appreciated this enough about edmonton as a kid/teen but now when I think too hard about the river valley at home I get nauseatingly homesick. (ofc the sprawl in the prairies is horrific as well; I grew up in the small area of downtown edmonton well-serviced by public transport and by the river).

this is to say nothing of the big chunks of 'toronto proper' that I avoid entirely because they're full of the people toronto really wants to cater to, i.e. bay st business guys and lawyers who are the ones buying up all the new developments as investment properties. everything cool here gets torn down for these assholes and turned into luxury condos and people clap and cheer because it's 'more housing!' and you look over and doug ford is getting handed a big novelty check from the Corrupt Personal Friends of Ford Family and Property Developers Foundation.

ANYWAY. I don't know. I had my sights set on halifax for a long time, I love a smaller city and I LOVE the atlantic. it's marginally more affordable than here. it's very white but not as scary white as like, tbh, small town ontario/alberta, I think largely due to being a city and a big student population. but the more I think about it the more it seems kind of stupid to move myself so far away from all my friends, family, networks, etc... again. my fourth province? god. if I do it, I should do it earlier rather than later I guess? but the logistics are nightmarish.

hamilton is on my mind lately. it's more affordable, smaller, less insane as a move, would be close enough to family for my partner to be more comfortable and it's MUCH easier to 'go outside'. I have friends there so I wouldn't be starting completely over again, I even have clients who come to me from there so my work transition wouldn't be crazy. and I could still commute to toronto with bike + GO train. BUT THEN I WOULD STILL BE IN THIS FUCKING PROVINCE.

idk dude sorry for going on and on but this is literally all I've been thinking about for the last few months and I had a minor crisis about it all last week. godspeed getting out of small town ontario anyway. I guess my thesis is... if you speak french, consider montreal?
