QUOTE (aiden1983 @ Feb 8 2010, 03:51 PM) Wow that is better than I would have ever though for a garage. Is it legal or illegal? Very jealous of your deal . Looks `illegal` to me. And how can he get $2400/month for a single zoned house in Beddington? The `REIN` system in use here?

QUOTE (RedlineBrett @ Jan 24 2010, 03:12 PM) If I am a seller`s agent I won`t speak with the buyer... only the buyer`s agent. I do not want to inadvertently create a dual agency situation and expose myself to the liability of such a scenario without having consent from both sides. So I would...

QUOTE (sadatia @ Jan 12 2010, 10:57 AM) Does anybody know a really good real estate accountant. I am just starting out and deciding whether it is better to buy properties personally or through a corporation. Some my properties will be outside Canada. Any help would be greatly appreciated...

If you go `Geothermal` you can literally be your own utility company. Therefore you can charge your tenants for heating/cooling just like the current utility company is doing. If you wish, you could also retain this infrastructure should you wish to sell, and then continue billing the new owners...

QUOTE (sstokes @ Dec 5 2009, 12:01 AM) Not sure about Alberta, but in BC if the roommates/tenants share the kitchen and/or bathroom with the owner of the property, it`s considered `shared accomodation` and doesn`t fall under the RTA. So virtually none of the regular rules apply. I just drew up...

QUOTE (Goodstuff @ Aug 14 2009, 08:35 PM) If you can generate a 36% return on you money in the stock market, like you say you can (consistently?), why would you ever bother with the headache of real estate? You'll be a billionaire within a few years with that kind of return. One of the...

The test I use is simple, every dollar I invest in real estate must generate at least 3% in REAL SPENDABLE CASH each and every month before taxes. Why am I requiring a 36% yearly ROI on cash I put into real estate? Because that is the minimum I generate using various option strategies in the...
