    Seller`s RE Agent Purchased the Property!

    I know the situation very well, I am the friend but didn`t have time to post the question so Nir did it for me. My offer had one condition and that was `conditional upon viewing`. The view time was set up with my agent however when the day came to view he contacted me and said it had been sold...

    Need help choosing flooring

    I agree with all the above. Laminate is all we use in our units. Darker is better as long as you get the kind that doesn`t scratch easily and you can test it at the store. Home Depot really has great product at really good prices. I have picked up skids and stored them in my garage. The cost at...

    What to do with Cash Flow?

    I find this to be a very interesting topic. With 20 buildings and 71 units I think I have run into just about everything possible including an act of God which cost me in the neighbourhood of $12,000. this summer. My reserve saved me because insurance wasn`t there when I needed them. An Act of...

    Just a short note of thanks to the REIN team for helping me achieve an unbelievable amount of success in a short period of time.

    Major Mistakes of New Landlords

    Great stream. I am sure we can all take nuggets of information away from this one. Thomas is correct when he says that giving out your personal phone numbers is a mistake (big, big time waster). One way my wife and I get around that is to have a phone line that doesn`t ring but takes messages...

    Ontario Landlord`s Beware

    We have had to evict a few tenants who have left similar messes (without the deer). Most of these tenants were inherited when purchasing a property. It always costs a few dollars to go through the process but once done it is over with and on to the next. I applaud the owner for bringing the...
