COMMENTS FROM THE EDITOR: Are you spooked by the market changes? Average sales price has dropped, days on market is a little longer. This is no need to worry. There is always a need for someone, somewhere that needs to move from one home to another, whether it be from renting to downsizing. We anticipate rates may still rise so if you're on the fence about selling and/or buying, let's get together and talk about what the opportunity looks like for you.

Global Corner:
Buy to Let in Scotland
|
In honor of Halloween, this month we're going to focus on one of the world's most haunted countries according to dailyrecord.co.uk, Scotland .
The capital city of Edinburgh, Scotland boasts a rich history, beautiful architecture, and prestigious academic institutions. Due to its thriving tourism industry, strong economy, and large student population, Scotland is an attractive investment opportunity for those looking to buy rental properties. The typical rental yield on rental properties is 4-6%, which is slightly higher than the average across the UK.
If you are interested in investing in Greece, or elsewhere, I can help you find a real estate agent who is the expert in that area!

If you want a spooky treat for trick-or-treaters or Halloween party guests, try these simple but delicious Poison Apples from Delish.
Ingredients:
- 10 small apples
- 10 long sticks
- 1 3/4 c. granulated sugar
- 1/2 c. light corn syrup
- 3/4 c. water
- 1/2 tsp. purple gel food coloring
- 1/4 tsp. Black gel food coloring
|
|
- Insert wooden sticks into the center of each apple and set aside.
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment and grease with butter or cooking spray.
- In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, water, and corn syrup. Stir in gel food coloring and turn heat to medium-high. Bring the mixture to a boil and stir constantly until sugar dissolves. Then lower the heat to medium and let it boil, without stirring, until it nears about 290° with a candy thermometer — which is close to the hard-crack mark stage. Remove from heat.
- Working quickly, tilt the pan and dip the apples in the mixture, twirling the apple through the candy to coat evenly. Hold the apple over the mixture for few seconds before placing on the greased baking sheet. Repeat with remaining apples. Let cool completely.
