I am at a bit of a loss for ideas on a property that i purchased just over a year ago. It is presently rented but tenants are moving end of Feb which leaves me carrying a home that was meant to flip. It is 3 acres, large somewhat dated house with a barn. I am not sure whether to list or sell...

QUOTE (invst4profit @ Oct 23 2008, 08:18 AM) If the deal is done it is too late to get rid of them. At this point you can only evict if you or a family member wants the unit or you wish to reno the building. With a reno eviction they may want back in but not likely. Other than that in Ontario...

I have an accepted offer to purchase on a duplex. The price is certainly right however due to the fact that it is a foreclosure there is a tenant in the upper unit that comes with the building. Problem is...rent is far too low and I have no idea what type of person he is. How can I get rid of...

Just wondering the best way to handle this situation. I have 4 young men coming from another province to work in Ontario. They are going to be renting a house from me. The rent is all inclusive. How do I go about making one person in charge of the responsibilities-ie. rent collection...

QUOTE (investmart @ Sep 11 2008, 06:50 PM) Christine, Luckily she had the cash when I showed up!! Hopefully this is a `one off` thing. Thank you for your replies. I will print off a copy of that notice for future problems---maybe there will never be a need to use it!! Very simple. next time...

Just wondering how you would handle a certain situation. This would be the third month renting to my present tenant. She called on Sept 2 to inform me that the chq that I had deposited on Sept 1 may not clear. Of couse it was too late at that point to do anything but wait. A week later I...

Just had an offer to rent a vacant garage of one of my rental homes. $50.00/month and it is to store a seasonal sports car. I do know the guy as we live in a small town. I explained to him that since I didnt want to disturb the tenants in the house, access to the garage would be limited...

I have recently had an experince with my mortgage broker that left me in a most undesirable position. To make a long story short I had been investing quite quickly in rental properties. Being that my credit was good and my primary residence was paid in full I had quite a system going. One...

QUOTE (DrSheaus @ Jul 2 2008, 12:10 PM) This isn`t for a specific deal; it`s just a general question. I am a rookie realtor and going through a self-evaluation and it has been found that closing deals may not be my strong suit so I have been recommended to: "You should seek to improve closing...

So very true! My mother is in that very position now. She has worked full time since she was 18 years old. Most of her career was spent in management for the same non profit organization. She then ventured out to start her own business, and finally is working for the casino. The problem is...

Just wondering if anyone knows how the area in Calgary known as Woodlands and in particular the street Woodfern Rd. is for real estate investing?

While reviewing the property print out on a house I was looking at, under Tenure: it says Lease/rental. Most of the listings say freehold. Does anyone know what this means, and also it is zoned ND (neighbourhood development) again something I have heard little about. Thanks

There is an estate sale on a home that I believe to be priced below market value. It has a large property with a solid brick house on it. From my understanding, there are 3 offers being presented on Friday to the Lawyer for his consideration. The family are fueding and have put the decision...

QUOTE (CarlaJohnson @ May 23 2008, 09:54 AM) Clarification of "multi" is a good point. I admit I draw the line at duplexes. A single family dwelling is a very different dynamic than one where two or more "families" co-exist. A lot of duplexes and tri-plexes are reconfigured single family homes...
