Thanks for all the help. I've been able to take advantage of some of the resources that you pointed out to me. Looks like we 1 be putting the property in 1 name now and not 2.

Hello, I'm looking at making an investment purchase in Florida real estate. The property is looking like a very good deal, but this will be my first US investment. I know that I read something in the past on estate implications of owning US property where Uncle Sam will want a part of your...

A couple of comments: 1. The protests in the US may have some legitamacy and serve as a counter weight to the Tea Party there. However, the protests in Canada seem more like a "Me Too" movement for professional protest class. 2. The irony of the protests is if you include the entire 7...

I have never understood the rent to own concept. I look at it and think if I want to sell a home why not just sell it today? And if I'm going to hold it why commit to selling at today's prices 3 or 5 years from now? Is the idea to look at it as a rental property that you can charge more rent...

The rise of the NDP in this election is another example of style over substance. The media plays to much attention to the style of the leader and doesn't analysis and hold the leaders to account for the impacts party's platform. In any event make sure you get out and vote today.

Thanks for your response. To provide a bit more information, I am hoping to create a list to provide to somebody who is not happy with their current property manager. They own a few units but one of them is several months behind on rent.

Hello, I am looking for some names of property managers in London Ontario that people would recommend. If you know of any good ones could you post them here for me. Thanks!

Every MLS system is different but searching by lot size isn't a flexible option. I have only ever seen a lot size search done by acres and the smallest category is 0-5 acres and it goes up from there. I doubt that it's a useful function for a house search.

I thought that was a great story! Happy it worked out ok for you. Thanks for sharing.

I've never heard the term Judicial Sell before but I'll assume that they are similar to to bank owned or foreclosed properities. Do not think that you are going to be getting a great deal on these types of properities the rules are different in Canada than the US, were the US banks just try to...

As the other poster stated the only place to certify a cheque is at the home branch of the person who issued the cheque to you. In most cases I doubt that they would attempt to contact the person who issued the cheque when you certify it, after all you'll be paying the bank a fee to certify the...

Hello Paul I am in London Ontario as well and I'm currently looking at purchasing my first investment property. I would be interested to know how you picked your property and how you where able to find it. Is it a student property? Personally I think that Joe is making some great changes...

That is a great way to tell a story. The pictures really add to the emotional impact of what you are trying to tell. I have been inspired to try to adopt a simliar approach in the future.

I agree that government jobs pay far too much and their benefits are excessive. However this is not a problem unique to Canada nor is it a new problem. I also agree that Canada has been lucky to end up in the right spot between the US & Euro systems. The problems I see facing Canada now is...

Any thoughts on how to do this in craigslist?

I believe the securities commission only concerns themselves with publicly traded securities. The OSC is suppost to enforce the Securities Act (Ontario), so a quick read of that might answer your specific question. I do not think the OSC would care if you and a few friends form a LP or JV...

The break even point on this choice will be determined when interest rates rise and the variable rate is great than today's 5 year fixed. So you have 115 points in room before today's fixed term rate starts to look better. Personally, I think that the Bank of Canada wants to raise interest...
