But for those in relatively secure positions, this may be the time to take advantage of investment oppor- tunities and lower prices in real estate and the stock market. Personal finance experts were asked “to suggest New Year's resolutions to improve the average persop’s financial standing. Here’s what they have to say: — Timothy Egan, president of T.E. Financial Consultants Ltd. of Toronto: ‘‘Keep your eye on the target and think long term.”” Egan investors should try to avoid the ‘‘herd instinct’’ of cashing out just because everyone else seems to be doing so. ‘Investing in a low market is ob- viously the way to go,’’ he says. — Gordon Pape, financial expert: Recessions can be times of great op- portunity. “The more aggressive side of me says take advantage of the recession to get investment opportunities that are maybe ayailable once in a decade, especially housing and the stock market.’’ Pape says some investors will be kicking themselves in a couple of years if they don’t go out and get some of the bargains now. — Mike Grenby, independent financial adviser based in Vancouver: see the unsettled conditions as being an opportunity for many Recession provides : opportunities to buy When buying real estate for the first time, it’s not. just the down payment and paying the mortgage that can hit you in the information to certify that the title is good, Silverstein says. Tack. on $250 to $300 and maybe It’s the little things. In fact, Toronto lawyer and author Alan Si in: suggests calculating at least two per cent of the property’s purchase price for ex- more for he says. Then there are the adjustments. If the former owner had, for example, paid the hydro bill till: mon- th’s end and you plan on moving in on the 15th, you have to pay him penses like lawyer’s fees, on property tax, and maybe even a water meter. You can also count on paying $150 “ an appraisal fee when arranging at most banks.

Thanks to Ann Gallo and Thelma Silverstein. Some of the tariffs can be found at the back of legal directories in the local public library. back the The same goes for things like property taxes. New homes and condominiums can present even more expense. “(For new homes), sometimes they nick you for little things like paying for water meters and hydro metres and trees on the boulevard and all that sort of suuff,”* Silverstein says: When a new condo corporation starts up, it doesn’t have much in the till and you may be asked to pay an extra month’s maintenance fees in advance. By the end of 1990, there were five provinces that charged a land tran- sfer tax — Ontario, British Colum- bia, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Manitoba, says Douglas Gray, a Vancouver real estate author. Quebec doesn’t have such a tax on also suggests around for the best price and asking friends or colleagues about which lawyer they’ve used in the past. “The best way of finding a lawyer if you’ve never used one is to speak to people who've used a lawyer,’’ he says. ‘‘It’s a service industry and we all rely upon our referral business.’’ The amount of legal fees depends on, among other things, whether the property is residential or commercial and if there are any mortgages on the property being purchased.

USED VE people to consider the possibility of self-employment.”’ If you're working, you can pay another member of the family who doesn't have a job to do the leg work on researching and funding a new business opportunity <=’ and then write that off as a business expense. If you’re unemployed; there's nothing to lose in trying to find something where you can be your own boss, Grenby says.

But if you're serious and business-like about it, they'll treat it the same way.”” — Tom Delaney, personal finance expert in Toronté: Watch what you spend. Draw a line down the centre of a piece of paper, assets on one side, liabilities on the other and see where you can cut expenses, or where you should put your savings. If you’ve done it before, the net worth statement will give you an idea of the progress made in accumulating wealth or paying off debt. “It makes you realize what you did, or did not do, last year to help your situation,’’ says Munro.
