Home based businesses are allowed on ALR land from what I interpret on: http://www.alc.gov.bc.ca/alc/content.page?id=A2BE9E6859EC45A0977515C398C138FA Does anyone know if it would be difficult to obtain building permits to build a simple structure or warehouse on ALR land for the purpose of...

"By the way, although REIN charges for their membership, I seriously doubt they make any kind of profit off of it, and that`s one of the reasons why its easy to trust them. I wouldn`t expect others to donate everything to charity, even though I plan to. My strategy is all related to the platform...

My "Big Fat Lie" which I know is intellectually untrue but sometimes feels real nonetheless is: Because I had a sad childhood (chased around and beaten-even harder if I cried from pain, grew up poor, told I was no good by my mother, locked up until I left at 18 etc ) I find it easier to be an...

Mitch, thanks for sharing. In the past few months, I`ve put on 10% of my body weight and feel crummy about it as well. I would eat a whole pack of chocolate covered wafers at a time. I`ve sat at your table once and was touched by your friendliness and great attitude. I didn`t notice any lack...

Thanks for posting another original, brilliant and thought-provoking summaries that put the spring into an otherwise banal day. Whoever labeled accountants as boring and dry should be reprimanded. If you find social media interesting, you would have enjoyed the Convergence conference in May...

QUOTE (llee @ May 7 2009, 05:49 PM) Hi, My previous tenant moved out March 31, and the new tenant moved in on April 17. They were/are both responsible for their own bill. Today, I got a Hydro bill that I need to pay for the small usage between March 31 and April 17, plus the account setup...

The path to success is littered with obstacles (cliche, but true) and one of the biggest obstacles as a Real Estate Investor is securing the $$$$$$ required to leverage our goals. For those of us who plan to pursue Joint Venture partnerships at some point, one of the biggest obstacle is the fear...

Thanks for the heads up. It takes guts to post someone`s name up on a public forum. Google`s spiders will pick it up and this post will most likely appear after some time, when someone googles his name. Your post is especially effective because the city is listed in the post As a property...

The most common structure I`ve come across is a split of 60% upstairs and 40% downstairs. I`ve done some research and separate meters after the house has been built would be cost prohibitive and will not make sense for buildings with few units.

As a proactive property owner, I am taking extra steps to protect my investment. If my duplex that has been existing as a fourplex for many years, and Safe Housing of Edmonton is giving me the go ahead, can other departments from the city of Edmonton close me down if a neighbour continues to...

My general contractor says no but I wanted to double check. I am wondering if I need any permission or permit to get rid of the tall spruce trees situated on the front lawn of my duplex.

They are an elderly couple so I will do my part to make them happy but does this situation really exist? Do roots cause fungus in peoples` flower beds? And if I cut the tree down, will the roots still cause problems? I received this letter today: "Dear Owner, The Spruce tree bordering...

Mine cost $5000 each but it was for a 70s home.

I had to get a flapper changed for $200 a few months ago and the high costs my recent renovations have got me thinking. I would like to learn how to install hardwood, tiles, change faucets, caulk, and install electrical hardware. All I know how to do a the moment is change light bulbs and hammer...
