What rental web sites work best for you in Edmonton? Rent Board, Rent Edmonton? Craigslist? Or ? I'm finding that Kijiji gets me the most responses, but want to expand my ads to other sites for my one bedroom suites on 82nd Avenue near Old Strathcona and my basement suite in my house in Millwoods.

As an Edmonton real estate investor, I found parts of this CMHC Edmonton fall 2015 update very interesting. I didn't know so many new rental units were getting built in Edmonton. Check all the stats and info out at http://www.cmhc-schl.gc.ca/odpub/esub/64379/64379_2015_A01.pdf Margaret Cowan...

I attended REIN's multi-family summit weekend in Edmonton in August 2010. I already had a background in real estate and had invested in smaller properties. That weekend I learned so many valuable strategies and tips that were truly instrumental and essential in my buying my 11 unit apartment...

Hi Maybe it's too late at night & it's right under my nose....I can't see where the REIN Library of the recordings of REIN meetings in BC, AB and ONT are on this site anymore. Please let me know where they've moved to. Good night, thanks, Margaret

Last year in my ovarian cancer journey, I learned a way to overcome any kind of adversity. I manifested a faster than normal cancer remission and a faster than normal recovery from my 18 weekly chemo sessions. How? Mostly through befriending my fears of chemotherapy, death & cancer in...

I've misplaced my paper booklet copy of "22 Secrets To Street Smart Negotiating! On myreinspace I can only find a 46 minute audio book of it. I just want to scan it to refresh my memory and skills. How can I get a version I can read online? Thanks Margaret

Richard's Monday morning mastery call today asked us to forgive people in dealing with/healing our conflicts. What if some people are dead or long gone from your life? A few years ago I followed Rhonda Britten's advice in her wonderful book, Fearless Loving, on page 198. Call me a West Coast...

My Edmonton property manager is looking for a full time assistant who's good at relating to tenants and is good with details. Her company manages 350 units so there's scope for doing a variety of interesting tasks. If you know anyone for this job, please contact Sandi Danielson at...

Richard's Mastery call today on being fully engaged with people and his previous points on holding ourselves back from what we want both dovetail perfectly with book I highly recommend, "Overcoming Underearning: Overcome Your Money Fears And Earn What You Deserve" by Barbara Stanny. In her...

After a year of looking for a smaller multi-family building in Edmonton the REIN way, I'm now the owner of an 11 suite property on 82nd Avenue in Edmonton! I'm so grateful for all the help I got from my team in Edmonton and my fellow REIN forum members! Thank you Brent Davies for spotting me...

For years I'd wanted to do it, but wasn't sure I could. In Italy an athletic friend sometimes leads a trek for four days up and down through mountains and valleys from Piedmont in north west Italy to the Riviera on the sea. 23 km a day. I've been going to the gym three times a week for...

I'm in Vancouver and following Terry Paranych's advice (from the talk he gave at REIN's August multi-family weekend) to look at the multi-family buildings for sale in the Edmonton Journal classified ads regularly. Edmontonians, please tell me if the online EJ version of the multi-family...

On the Alberta Nov 30 CD Don said every day he sends Ally articles he reads in a variety of media and she posts them daily on myreinspace. He said it's a 15 minute daily read which sounds great to me. I've searched here n there on myreinspace but can't find them. Please point me in the right...

I`ve always avoided buying properties on major traffic streets. I think the noise for suites facing four lanes of traffic would discourage tenants from renting them, especially when there`s a good choice of suites to choose from. What about suites in Edmonton facing major traffic streets? Do...

In my search for small multi-family properties, I`m running into more and more properties for sale where the owners don`t have income and expense statements. How they expect to sell a building grossing $84,000 a year or a fourplex listed at $800,000 with no income statement is beyond me. The...

I`ve crunched the numbers on a nice, well renovated fourplex in a good part of a major Alberta city. Price is $800,000. But I`d have to put down 35% or about $280,000 (ouch!) to make a measly cash flow of $400 a month on the whole building or about 1.7% cash on cash. I`m using 4.25%, 35 year...

My old Nanaimo house with five suites isn`t selling on MLS so I`d appreciate your creative ideas. Listed at $339,900. Gross revenue $2500 a month. After operating expenses and mortgage payments, it breaks even. I`ve owned it since 1997 so want to sell it to get my capital gain out and invest...

I`ve spoken with a Calgary couple who own a 10 unit rooming house in the Macauley area of Edmonton. They`ve worked hard on it and now have nice, quiet tenants but don`t want to self manage it because of the distance. When they talk to property managers in Edmonton about managing this property...

Despite my Googling on the proposed new Edmonton Oiler stadium on the edge of downtown Edmonton, I can`t get clear on if the stadium is really going ahead. The funding is up in the air. The location isn`t definite yet. Does anyone have other info on the exact location and if it will really go...

Can anyone recommend a realtor for small multi-family properties in St. Albert? I`d like to look there. Thanks, Margaret www.italycookingschools.com
