QUOTE (markl @ Aug 24 2009, 04:35 AM) C, fees are fees you will have to pay something to learn a system so you can advertise and learn to filter prospects. You can start working on tenants right away. My concern is why are you paying 4% commission on the exit? This is a private sale...

QUOTE (Cargren @ Nov 19 2009, 02:41 PM) So if I understand you, this basically an agreement for sale with you still on title and buyer buying you out in the future (like a lease option). Or does transfer of title occur and now you hold mortgage for buyer? No I guess not as you would have to...

You bet! Just let me know where and when.

QUOTE (Mystique @ Oct 20 2009, 10:49 PM) Hello Ron LeGrands seminar grads from Vancouver and lower mainland area. I am thinking of forming a LeGrand seminar grads support group in lower mainland / vancouver area. Would anyone be ingterested in forming such a group? Great idea, Mystique! I`m not...

Thanks, all for the feedback. Ranjit, I was considering offering a warranty as part of an investor package that would create a "trouble free" investment. (Is there such a thing?)

I have noticed that many homes sold in the US come with a home and asset protection warranty (usually for 1 -5 years.) It seems like a means of offering a trouble-free investment to buyers. I don`t mean a new home warranty but rather one placed on existing houses. Does anyone know if this is...

Thanks Thomas, for your suggestions. I`m relatively well versed (from one of my previous lives) in the stock and bond markets. My rationalle for R/E investment is that, while there may be great confusion and uncertainty out there, people must have a roof over their head (even a bridge will...

Thanks, GSI. I am thinking that I could use my LOC as a down payment with a JV partner drawing down the mortgage. I will require debt service pn the LOC however. Could this work? Thomas, I am confused with regard to your post. I can`t find a syndications board and I`m not sure...

Thanks for your response, Rob. As I am semi-retired, my primary concern is to solidify and enhance my estate over the longer term with perhaps some optional "freedom funds" for the nearer term. I am not really interested in flips - not that this is an option today. Rather, I would like a...

Thanks Thomas, for your reply. I`ve noticed that you have been very helpful and informative in your many posts. I`m delighted to hear that a financed down payment from my home`s equity can work under the REIN system. I`ve been assessing properties using the "cash flow zone" and have...

Thanks, Jessandy, for your encouraging post. I am determined to find some way to use the accumulated equity in my home productively. A J/V with others may be a good possibility once I have gained some experience. As you say, however, I don`t have the track record (yet) to give investors...

I hope that there is someone here who can provide some advice on this matter. Perhaps there is someone in my area of Vancouver - Surrey, BC that would consider a mentoring relationship? QUOTE I`ve been studying the posts on this topic and others and am most impressed with the supportive...

I`ve been studying the posts on this topic and others and am most impressed with the supportive (without B. S.) discussions between seasoned "Pros" and newbies, like myself. I am looking for a little guidance and I hope to find some help here. I am house poor. While I can afford my...
