I am unsure of what the delay is, as it is a friend of mine who is going through the reno and I don't know the particulars. As I understand it they have the cabinets in place, put the doors etc are not. If you have some contact info I can pass along that would be great! Thanks.

Congrats Sherilynn! You have been a tremendous resource to the REIN community and now more people get to find that out as well!!

If the property is performing, then you need to sell it. As hard as it is, look at this as your business - you have do what is best for the business. If you do decide to sell, perhaps line up a tenant placement service for her to help ease the transition.

Hello REIN Community! I have a friend who is experiencing some severe frustration with an incomplete kitchen (going on 7 months) from Modern Kitchens here in Edmonton. Can anyone recommendation an alternative to Modern Kitchen who can complete the work and understands what customer service...

To add to the above comments, given the market in Edmonton right, now I would have no doubt you will be able to find good quality tenants without compromising your monthly rent. Now that the New Year has begun to settle in, often people will look to make a change, mostly "up", and a nice single...

Congratulations Sherilynn, well deserved!

Lisa, My in-laws are expanding well in a basement suite as we speak. If you send me an email I will inquire what approx cost was and can give you the name of the guy who is doing it. I have used this particular contractor before, and had a great experience.

Sounds like you have taken to proper steps to resolve the situation at this point. It may be a different story if the dog is not out of the suite as promised. I would hold off with any cleanings until you have a better understanding of the impact the dog had. Perhaps schedule a suite visit to...

I agree with Sherilynn. Know all the necessary requirements to make a basement suite legal. While searching for properties, evaluate what needs to be done to legalize and the approximate cost associated with that. In my experience even if the listing says "Legal suite" it may not be registered...

You are most welcome Sherilynn! -Chris

I have a couple more names that were recommended to me through REIN and through friends. I haven't worked with any of them, so I can't comment on their availability. Wayne @ Meridian Construction 780-298-2346 Sean Knudsen @ ASK Renovations (I was never given a # for him) -Chris

Sherilynn, I feel it's only fitting I give you some names as I'm one of the people you recommended your contractor to... A friend of mine used Mike van Butselaar with The Reno Twins and had lots of good things to say about the quality of work. I had called him for some work, but timing...

My wife and I started investing in May 2012 and Selena Cheung was recommended to us by several REIN members. Her and her husband, Andy are fantastic! They are active in the REIN community and certainly know how to deal with investors. We are SO glad we met them. Selena's cell is 780-893-7129.

If you can send me a copy as well that would be fantastic. [email protected] Thanks!

Welcome to REIN James! I've been a member for a whole four months so there are a lot of more experienced investors than me on here, but my wife and I are very pleased with the team we have surrounded ourselves with. Without the support of these people, our first purchase would not have been...
