    1st LOC on a paid for building

    QUOTE (thomasbeyer2000 @ Mar 25 2009, 03:10 PM) yes, this is all VERY reasonable for a commercial property ! 1% setup fee only $1000 legal fees ! prime + 2 = 4.5% 75% = great LTV ! Usually you also need: appraisal + environmental report + engineering report for another $10,000 ! why not...

    Noise issues if I use laminate flooring throughout?

    I have laminate in my entire upper floor, and it is very loud. You hear everything downstairs. Carpet is much quiter and acts as a baffle between the units and absorbs the sound. If I had to do it again, I would not use laminate. my 2 cents

    what is commercial?

    After some digging around with a few contacts, it appears that with CMHC they will lend up to 85% value in my area (Ontario) I have a sub question: would it be worth while then to get a mortgage through RBC then if you were looking to get a 6 plex? You could potentially save the 1-1.5% intrest...

All the tenants are on the lease? 2) As long as it is made out to you, there is no issue. As for the N4, if one person does not pay, I would issue the N4 to both as they are both on the...

    5 Plex In Ontario - Deal or no Deal?

    QUOTE (GarthChapman @ Feb 14 2009, 10:09 AM) Brian, I like your take on what has been posted for you, except that your step #4. reads "while trying to stay under the price set in #1". Makes me think it`s not a figure you will be truly commited to. This business eats people who don`t make their...
