I`ve renovated the place from scratch and on the one hand, if I provide them I know there isn`t going to be tin foil or the Rebel flag in the windows. On the other hand people may want to bring their own. Thoughts? Thanks Keith

Background: I found a foreclosure in Marlborough, NE Calgary at a decent price. It’s a 4 level split, 3 beds up, enough room to park 5 cars, plus a large heated double garage out back, and an illegal suite in the basement. The cash flow would be stellar with the suite, and barely acceptable...

Hello, I`m new to advertising on the internet for my places for rent. Already I`ve had a number of people who sound just a little too...sweet...asking questions via the net and asking for the address. I don`t give out the address until I`ve talked to them on the phone to determine they`re...

Hey folks, The title pretty much says it all. I`m looking for the builder you would have build your OWN house, or your dear sweet mother`s house... Thanks in advance. Keith

Hello, I`m wanting to be able to offer help to my clients regarding the tax rebate on renovations, as a marketing tool for my renovation business. I`ve done a Google search, and been to a government of Canada website. Unfortunately, I`ve been unable to find the skinny on it. I want to make sure...

Hello, I have a house in a small town south of Red Deer, Alberta, with great tenants. However, I bought the place before I joined REIN, and it`s not a cash flow property. The tenants are very interested in buying via lease to own, and I`m interested in selling, to move on to some cash flowing...

Recent negative posts have got me thinking. There are two ways to look at the current economic situation, and there`s far too much negativity floating around out there, and, sadly, in here as well. Rhett Butler said something to the effect that there are two times to make a fortune, one being...

I`ve been listening to the CD,s and if I`m understanding Don correctly, the information was telling us that 2008 would be a down year around here, which has proven bang on. I also seem to remember him saying that 2009 was expected to take off again and be a growth year. I believe that was said...

Hi All, I`ve been looking through my "REIN Gear," and I haven`t come across this one: So let`s say I`ll be interviewing realtors to begin to build a team of good people, to our mutual benefit, with respect to my real estate investing. I`m wondering what questions I should be asking? The two...

Hello all, I`m looking for a good realtor in Red Deer area. Unfortunately nothing came up in the search. I have a large, R3 (multi family) property, and I need someone who understands how, and to whom, it ought to be marketed. I don`t want someone who will just look at it as a single family...

I`ve had this renter in one of my properties for 3 months, this in another town so I can`t just show up and knock at the door. I aquired the property, and her as a renter, before I joined REIN. I checked her employment, and her then current landlord, and everything checked out 100%. Anyway...

Hi folks, Sorry if this is a long drawn out post. I don`t know how much detail to go into, so I`m going overboard a bit. So I have aquired a town lot. i bought it before joining REIN, on a hunch, so I didn`t do the due diligence(shame, Keith, shame). I am currently racking my brain as to what...

Hi folks I`m an Alberta investor, and as such have been looking at different towns here. I have found good information at http://www.albertafirst.com regarding community profiles. They include household income information. But all their information is from 1996 and 2001. 7 years is a bit of a...

Hello folks, Forgive me if my inexperience and naivite show through on this, but I`m a REIN member of only a few weeks. I`ve read Real Estate Investing In Canada, but haven`t had a chance to plow through the mountain of information that came in the mail with REIN. I admit to doing this all in...
