I went to a Durham (Ajax, Whitby, Pickering) meeting this week and was delighted. There were 40 + people, some newbies to Real Estate investing, and quite a few experienced people including REIN members. It was like a grass roots REIN meeting focused completely on investing in the Durham area...

I love Hamilton , most of the time.... As a Hamilton Landlord I don't want more regulations / costs. BUT, Hamilton is a bit of a wild west which is part of it's appeal! When you look at buildings for sale the majority are in need of work ! Many of the conditions are dangerous to...

Hi Richard Thanks for your insights and for making the effort to respond. Even where I don't agree I love that you state you thoughts so we know where you are coming from. All the best Dave

too funny Adam! You have made over 4000 posts and I have read lots of them. I learn a lot from you You are very direct and state your opinions with conviction and experience. We could all benefit from more of that! Even when I don't agree with you I enjoy your posts. And if you get the odd...

Sounds incredible and as I have learned at REIN there is nothing better than fully using assets that you already own. Way to be Ron. HURRY !!! Dave

The quality of the CD's that's REIN produce and send out are OUTSTANDING! Imagine if all REIN presentations were available to members on-line like the Podcasts from TED Talks, and Kahn. You could reference and re-listen to any presentation when you need it. And, REIN would be...

Wow ! I have noticed that there are only 10 spaces left for REIN Speak. I am curious, if you signed up why are you investing almost $2000 in this activity on top of your normal membership. Why not Toastmasters, Dale Carnegie? REIN Speak seems like a repackaged offering from Richard...

Don't Do It ! It will hurt the value of your property as it limits what people can do to add value. In addition satisfying the "Heretics" Committee is time consuming and will cost you extra money. The people on these committees mean well and my hat goes off to them but they don't care about...

IT"S OK TO BE AN IDIOT: NEXT TIME DO IT FASTER I now have this sign on my wall at home. It reminds me that all the indications of a disaster were there with ADP but I took far to long to move on. I am an optimist and I find Dan one of the most like-able guys you could ever meet. Because of...

May this be your only problem ! I admit that I like to drive by my properties and it tortures me that the lawns are miserable. I think it was Don that said the benefit of owning in another city is you don't see this ?! Most of my properties are townhouses with small lawns front and back. I...

I haven't seen one specific to a basement but the stuff for main floor apartments would work with a few caveats! Start with the drains and water supply, bathroom , kitchen sinks, laundry as moving or creating new ones is expensive. Then think about how do I get as much light into the...

Thanks Thomas! Dave

This is a monumental day ! I received my second check from Hamilton today from my multi's. After 12 months of writing checks and negative cash flow I made a change to a new property management team. I had been ready to sell everything and give up on this challenging market. And, after 2...

Hi My wife and siblings inherited a 2 bedroom condo in Hallandale Flordia. (Summit, on the beach) I would love some input re selling a property in Florida. It was owned for 25 years, probably worth 300 ish. Any random thoughts re real estate agents, do I need a U.S. lawyer, Florida...
