Hi Lucas, I would imagine someone has emailed you about this by now.... but in case they have not - I currently am using a couple of lenders who are offering either borrowed down payment mortgages, or cash back mortgages, essentially accomplishing 100% financing. This is all above board - no...

Thanks for the help so far fellas!

Hey guys & gals, I am in the process of putting together a presentation for sellers, and require some data that I know some of you definitely have access too. I need some help compiling Alberta specific stats on the number of foreclosures per month over the past 30 years, as well as the...

Wow, what these losers won`t do......... you had a great idea though Paul - embed your contact info onto the pic, and these scammers will just move on to the next "easy" victim.

Bryon, I looked into a V/A, but decided to go with a local gal on the ground in my city - she works from home, makes my phone calls, shows my properties, keeps me organized etc. I can only imagine how many more houses per year a Realtor could sell if they had an assistant........ never mind...

QUOTE (mrembecki @ Jan 14 2008, 07:09 PM) I like that idea. Would that I apply only if I could generate positive cash flow from the rental of this property or is this the way to go regardless. Also, do you recommend anywhere to find out about pulling out equity? Martin, first let me say that...

Martin, can you fix the place up, pull out your equity and then rent it? You may be further ahead in the long run with this strategy. I started flipping until I realized you can accomplish the same profit AND MORE by buying low, pulling out your equity and holding for appreciation......... Just...

Yes, I totally agree with the above posters - he is not a JV partner at that point - he is a mortgage investor, and as such, he gets a 2nd registered against title at 15% return....... seems pretty fair and straight forward to me. I`d sooner do that than split 50% of the deal any day! Best, Jeremy

QUOTE (TerryF @ Jan 5 2008, 09:50 AM) We have just received security deposit money for a rental and it is currently in our personal savings account while we figure out where we should put it. This will likely be a short term rental (less than 6 months). My question is this...... can the money be...

Thanks for the help fellas! It turns out it IS just too cold in GP for photos to upload on Kijiji. No I`m kidding...... I did upload using an old spare computer this last time - I think it has to do with my firewall, and I`ll try shutting it right off tomorrow when I post on Kijiji again...

Well, I still need some help - I was able to upload pics from another computer, but not my own. Does anyone have any ideas what the trouble might be with my laptop settings? I have allowed cookies through my firewall, but still no upoads! Thanks in advance, Jeremy

QUOTE (kopilas @ Dec 13 2007, 01:11 PM) Hi Jeremy, Although I never experienced what you are experiencing I tried to see if i have the same problem. My end seems to be working fine. Some points to keep in mind: MAX of 4 pictures with a total of no more than 4MB. I usually post using JPEG`s...

Hi Kijiji experts! I am trying to post my first ad on Kijiji, and I am having no luck uploading photos. The browser says it IS uploading, but after 20 minutes, nothing changes (I am on high speed). The photo is less than 1meg - their max is 4megs. Has anyone experienced this, and if so - how...

To date, still no recommendations for Property managers, and I have been propsitioned to manage several properties now. I have not personally offered to do the job for any one yet. If you are entreprenuerally minded, and have an interest in this line of business, there is a huge demand for it...
