    Trump Seminar?

    My wife and I attended a Russ Whitney ( American Late night Informercial guy ) and found it to be a real scam with questionable ethics and a strong focus on getting us to buy thier $40,000 training seminars. The weekend was a high pressure sales pitch for which we paid 2200. =). A year later...

    Newbie

    Hi Solace, Congrats on choosing Real Estate as the vehicle to help you achieve your goals for the future. Now that you have made that choice you`ve obviously made some harsh realizations, where does the money to start with come from. For folks in your situation (like me) Join Ventures are one...

    Does this sound like a scam?

    I had a similar fear but it was honest and legit.. In this case my current Tenant was from Toronto, moved to Edmonton for work and was living in a hotel with his family. When I interviewed them they conveyed that they were deeply religious and presented me with a letter from the Salvation...

    The first 3!

    Hi pamb and welcome aboard. I`m not a veteran investor yet - I`m only 1 down with more to go. I think the number 3 is a rough figure and that getting to 3 won`t necissarily open up the gates at the bank. The portfolio will have to demonstrate that it can cashflow so when making your purchases...

    Is there a market for virtual tours?

    I`m really wanting Santa to bring me a Digital Camera for X-Mas with a purty 0-360 lense. Unfortunatly, Santa thinks I should have a business plan to justify the expense of the camera that exceeds "I think it`s purty" and "ummm.. I`ll take pictures of the kids" =) All kidding aside, is there a...

    Re-establishing Credit

    Hi Krusty, If you have any access to funds you may want to consider doing a Joint Venture with someone - you can still begin investing in this way and take advantage of key markets. The JV Partner can do the mortgage alone and then list you as a second mortgage on the property thus you don`t...

    REIN membership

    I fail to see the negative in that post as well. My wife and my 13 year old and I play the "Cashflow" game twice per week. At 13 he wants me to invest his birthday money in blue chips and re-vest his dividends. As parents we`re proud as heck that by the time he`s our age he`ll be able to...

    REIN membership

    I am a new REIN member now of only 2 months. I attended a 1 QuickStart, 1 Workshop, and spent a day with Peter Kinch. There has yet to be an ROI in the financial sense but the information I`ve aquired has changed my life. My partner and I bought 1 revenue property prior to joining REIN and...

    Collecting Rent on Time

    I like to expand on the "Gift Basket" approach. At no set intervals (3 months, then 5 months, then 2 months etc ... ) show up with an envelope for your tenant with a card saying how much you really appreciate them paying the rent on time and as a token of that gratitude, here are a couple...

    Help! Problems with our first properties.

    Hi Rascal, Have you thought about changing your target audience on the property and renting out individual rooms etc? You could hit an auction and get some attractive furnishings for the common areas, provide basic cable and telephone (which you can lock down) and then rent out your rooms...

    Evicting Tenants

    Sorry to side track abit.. I was reading this over (trying to learn from others experiences) and I found that rentcheck.ca and other variations of that domain are parked and not actually an operational website. Does anyone know of an alternative that we can use to help screen tenants?

    Broker recommendation?

    My wife and I have a broker that has worked well for us in the past however we are getting the impression from him now that he isn`t interested in working with us more. He`s inexperienced with Real Estate Investors and I don`t think he`s looking at our portfolio as income. Can someone suggest...
