QUOTE (ChrisMewhort @ Oct 29 2009, 02:38 PM) Hi Michael, It sounds like you were getting over-excited, strictly from the fact that you posted here 11hrs after posting the ad, and 7hrs after that you think you`ve found a tenant. 18hrs isn`t a long time to have to wait between being told your...

QUOTE (jeffjas @ Oct 29 2009, 11:05 AM) Hey Michael, the ad itself looks good and I agree the place is very nice. I think that prospective tenants do look at ads at various times, I`ve received email replies at midnight, 2 am, etc people have different schedules. When I post on Kijiji I look at...

QUOTE (fumbrunner @ Oct 29 2009, 07:47 AM) It was posted 11 hrs ago. Unless potential tenants are up all night looking at ads, most won`t see it until this morning. Also, invest the $20 to make it a top ad. I have good success using kijiji, but ads tend to get buried. As a top ad, you increase...

Hey guys and gals, just found out that one of my renters, lost his job and needs to move out, so now i have to rent the place out, i havent done one of these for months, maybe some of you can lend me a hand and tell me if im doing something wrong. its been up since yesterday, and havent received...

Looks like we should get some of us together soon, if any of you guys in winnipeg are interested.

QUOTE (fumbrunner @ Sep 24 2009, 09:49 AM) Thanks Michael. How is he for identifying opportunies for you? Or do you simply use him his listing services? He is great went through a lot of realtors and he fits us the best with what we want to do, he filters out house listings for us, and shows...

QUOTE (fumbrunner @ Sep 24 2009, 08:32 AM) I have been investing in real estate for the past three years here in Winnipeg and I have assembled a decent team for most of my transactions. The one link that I am truly missing is a good realtor that works well with and understands the needs of RE...

QUOTE (PaulPoulsen @ Sep 23 2009, 01:39 PM) You`re doing a great job of listing features but unfortunately features aren`t what rents a property. Each time you list a feature, you need to ask yourself, "So what?" You did this a little when you explained renters can easily walk to work or take...

QUOTE (JohnSoucie @ Sep 23 2009, 11:29 AM) That`s an interesting one. Since I basically think I know what you are taliing about.....JV`s I assume, it actually doesn`t sound very truthfull to me and raises red flags. My first thought is/was....."I know you will make people a lot of money via JV`s...

I had a issue like this at one of my rental properties last year, but it was in and around my hot tub, i got a can from homedepot, that when you spray, it comes out like a foam, and confuses the bees, and wasps, and kills them, and destroys the nest, it takes about 1-2 coats and about a few...

The ad does look plain, but it may work and may not, everytime i use kijiji, i get great responses, also maybe take a better picture of the kitchen and master bed room, so people know how big they really are. You dont have how big the place is ? how many sqaure feet is it? how big are the...

QUOTE (tonypeters @ Sep 22 2009, 08:07 PM) Thanks for the invite Ed. As always, I like to put things into perspective, so here goes...there is an old saying that goes something like this; "You have to kiss a lot of Toads before you get to kiss the Prince". Does this put the situation into...

This is good, as after my third investment property purchase hopefully happening this week, i too will be looking for JV`s and investors to keep going, and need all the advise i can get. I beleive TODOR`s is a really simple and great way to approach people and let them know what you do, and...

Just like some of the other guys mentioned already your better off, not including utilities. cause this way the renters pay for what they use, not if they dont have to pay, then there going to have the lights on all the time, and run the water 24/7, most people dont do that, but you want to...

Wow, thats for the positive outlook, from both of you guys. after the 3rd place, im going to give it a shot. and move the business to a new level
