I want to thank the REIN crew for another great event (Multi-Family Investing in Edmonton), including the stellar line up of presenters. You never fail to deliver. I also wanted to sincerely thank those who offered to help in various ways when I discovered I had a flat tire on my car...

Talk to people who live there. I have yet to receive positive feedback from anyone. Brooks has a bad reputation for a reason. To quote Don "Choose a city with a future, not a past". It USED to be a nice place to live. There are a lot of great towns to invest in; I wouldn`t consider Brooks...

I have a hard time believing that Gwyn Morgan would be happy living on less (anymore).

One word...YUCK! You will be replacing carpet frequently and this unit will be harder to rent out upon showings. Imagine the disgusting mess a disgruntled tenant could leave in that area! Vinyl is a quick clean up.

Here`s another name to interview. Mike Johansen, REIN member. 403-999-8413 [email protected] I have never used him as my properties are not in Calgary but met him through networking. Nice guy. Hope that helps. Sonya Elias

My 2 cents I am a "good" person who thought I should "help" someone in need. This was a while ago and was also my first time selecting a tenant. I kept thinking "Don`t do it, it`s an emotional decision". BTW, a credit check confirmed I shouldn`t rent it to the "abused" woman but she had a...

Thanks for sharing your story. I plan on doing Stoney next year and this is great inspiration. I totally agree about drafting i the swim (It is a crazy experience!). I would love to chat with you at the next meeting as I was thinking of having some coaching from Cal as well. GREAT JOB!

Great information Dan! Glad to hear from you. Sonya

All I can say is WOW..... I think REIN does so much for your head, not just your financial investments. Ironman Canada..impressive. 3rd AMAZING! I`ll have to track you down at a meeting and hear all about it.

I had thought about Brooks when first investing so I completed my diligence there (including showings). I would personally run from there as not one person I spoke with has the impression it it a nice place to live (and I spoke to a lot!), has very high crime, very rough tenant profiles and far...

True, people take transit and walk downtown to work but they also travel out of town on weekends, go out for dinner and visit friends in the evening as well. I know with my downtown condo (lacking an underground stall) it has been more of a challenge to rent it (don`t get me wrong I do a great...

This has been my experience with an "area in transition" in downtown Calgary. Great, trendy building but not a great neighborhood. I found that the rental prospects narrowed a bit as young females would prefer not "find" street parking at night and walk to their apartment, men didn`t want to...

I would contact Heather and Tom Shadlock on this topic. They have lived there for many years, own a business , several rental properties and are REIN members. Drumheller`s not my cup of tea but I know they have done well over the years there. Look her up on myreinspace or her # is...

I have put well written (and expensive !) ads in the advocate a couple of times and had virtually no responses. I found this to be very common in speaking with other investors there as well. Now I don`t waste my time and money there at all. I would agree that kijiji, rentboard and gotta rent...
