Hello, Which city is this in? To save people some trouble, why not post who gave bad service and the company you moved your business to. Too many people seem to want to protect the anonymity of companies offering bad service. Please share and help others avoid some pain...

Yes, but monthly. REIN suggests that we operate like a business. You get receipts from Safeway and the liquor store, so why not from landlords?

N3XTGEN, If you chose to go this route, check and see if there is a bond system in place instead of tying up your money for the complete Down Payment (interest free) for 4 years.

Hello, In my opinion, you will be better off attending before you purchase. You will probably learn beneficial information that can help you when the time comes to purchase a property. Don't discount the fact that you will be in a room full of people that (in one form or other) already...

Andyr, The reason I asked the question is that I'm sure I have seen that company at Rein events. I assume they would follow the Rein system and have appropriate systems in place from advertising, showing, screening potential tenants, the rental agreement, dispute resolution, to the repairs...

Hey, I thought it would be fun to discuss stocks on our collective radar. Is anybody interested in a thread regarding different stocks they are looking into and their fundamentals? I have heard on various business stations that 2014 will be a good year for Industrial and Mining stocks...

Thanks, Thomas...

Thomas Beyer, A while ago I saw a post you did detailing your 10 step plan toward investing (or something like that). The post was in a thread where people were discussing their investments other than real estate. I remember thinking there was some great advice there, as always, so I...

Hello Greg, Can an you share your method preventing tenants from bringing "friends" into the unit for an extended stay? I agree it is a thorn in a landlords side to rent to somebody only to find out that there are multiple people living in the unit.

Hello, Other than REIN, I know of a Toronto based investment club called Private Investment Club. http://www.privateinvestmentclub.ca The club is run by Sunil Tulsiani. He is also a regular contributor to the Canadian Real Estate Wealth magazine. Feel free to use the REIN Forums as...
