My properties are located in Calgary. 4-5 years there were many choices for rental web sites such as Home rent, but theses days the choices are limited with rentfaster and kijiji. Any other sites REIN members are using for advertising?

Hi, I currently advertise on rentfaster.ca, rentspot.ca and kijiji. Just wondering which other rental web sites REIN members are having success with? thanks,Vic

Hi, I thought everyone would be interested by the poll that global news is conducting on rent control. Please vote against rent control on http://globalnews.ca/news/1621481/calgarys-mayor-calls-on-landlords-to-stop-gouging-tenants/ if you feel we should not have rent control in Alberta...

I have a similar situation where the tenant wants to use their own lease agreement to the subletted tenants. Does anyone know the pros and cons?

I work with Steve Throndson. Steve is an investor himself, owning over 25 doors. I used him to buy a 4-plex in 2008 and used him again in 2012 to buy another property. For our last deal, I put in over 65 low ball offers before we got a good deal. Most realtors won't do that. Steve is...

Hi Graham, When my wife and I started our investment career, I was doing our taxes as we only had 2 properties. After our third property, we started using Albert Ritchot (403) 616-5759 and wished we had started using him earlier as he understood the tax rules much better than we did. It has...

My guard went up when I saw the testimonial on Richard's Dolan site. I only know Richard Dolan from his recent presentations. However, REIN has consistently delivered for me and I agree with Thomas, I will judge after the 6 modules.

Hi, I have a few 35 year and 40 years mortgages that are due for renewal in 2012. With the new 30 year amortization rule, will my existing 35 and 40 year mortgages be grandfathered and renewed on the existing terms or will I have to re-qualify under the 30 year amortization? Thanks, Vic

Hi Barry and Donna, Thank you very much as well. I took the course in January 2010 and it was money well-spent. There was real content and many money saving tips. Both Barry and Donna are very accessible to any questions I had. It is a pleasure dealing with them. I strongly recommend...

Hi, Four years ago, I have purchased term insurance to protect my family as my portfolio grew. Lately, I have been looking into converting my term insurance into a Universal insurance. Does anyone want to share their experiences as to which policy is better? Thanks, Vic

Hi, I have tenants that installed a satellite dish 2 years ago. They signed a contract stating that they would ensure that the statellite dish would be removed properly on move-out and that any damage would be fixed. The same tenants moved out on June 27th. However, since I do not have a...

I use Albert Ritchot in Calgary. I have strongly recommended him on many occasions as he has done a great job for me for many years now. He is a REIN member, posts regularly on myreinspace and is listed in the REIN directory.
