Yes, I would appreciate you emailing the forms, thanks - my email address is [email protected] QUOTE (WJW @ Oct 23 2009, 12:34 PM) If there was an accepted offer then you do have a case unless your condition expired. One thing I would check is to make sure the offer was even presented by...

Thank you Brett, I will let you know how I make out and I want to thank Nir for starting this thread for me. Gregg QUOTE (RedlineBrett @ Oct 16 2009, 11:31 AM) If the seller accepted your conditional offer and the time had not expired before they accepted another offer then you can likely go...

Congrats Philip, you have been an inspiration to us all but especially to me. Recently I joined Toastmaster`s and when I need material or inspiration for a speech I remember your inspirational speech as you got everybody up on our feet to cheer on our favourite team to score a goal. The whole...

I know the situation very well, I am the friend but didn`t have time to post the question so Nir did it for me. My offer had one condition and that was `conditional upon viewing`. The view time was set up with my agent however when the day came to view he contacted me and said it had been sold...

I agree with all the above. Laminate is all we use in our units. Darker is better as long as you get the kind that doesn`t scratch easily and you can test it at the store. Home Depot really has great product at really good prices. I have picked up skids and stored them in my garage. The cost at...

Does anyone know if there is somewhere on the REIN site where I can get info on police checks on new potential tenants. Thanks

I find this to be a very interesting topic. With 20 buildings and 71 units I think I have run into just about everything possible including an act of God which cost me in the neighbourhood of $12,000. this summer. My reserve saved me because insurance wasn`t there when I needed them. An Act of...

Hi Don, I get really excited when I hear stories like yours. You will definitely reach your personal Belize and it will most likely be a lot quicker then you imagined. I realized my five year plan in 18 months and its stories like yours that inspire me to continue because it reminds me of the...

Just a short note of thanks to the REIN team for helping me achieve an unbelievable amount of success in a short period of time. Canadian Real Estate magazine has chosen to tell my story and asked permission to do so. Being a private and quiet person I decided to allow the article in hopes that...

Great stream. I am sure we can all take nuggets of information away from this one. Thomas is correct when he says that giving out your personal phone numbers is a mistake (big, big time waster). One way my wife and I get around that is to have a phone line that doesn`t ring but takes messages...

Sure Brett, just give me a call I`d be happy to go over my story and hopefully help in any way I can. My number is 705-690-1659 Greg QUOTE (brettthompson @ Jun 14 2009, 02:08 PM) hi gregg - great story. we were introduced a couple of weeks ago, for a golf and poker night at mikes house. im a...

We have had to evict a few tenants who have left similar messes (without the deer). Most of these tenants were inherited when purchasing a property. It always costs a few dollars to go through the process but once done it is over with and on to the next. I applaud the owner for bringing the...

Hello fellow Rein members, I have just returned from the ACRE weekend in Toronto. It is a four hour trip one way and there is a Rent to Own seminar this coming weekend. These things tend to get a bit expensive when you factor in the gas, hotel, parking, eating etc. especially two weekends back...

Jason, Congratulations, I started out exactly the same way. Purchased my first property for $84,000. put in $20,000. it appraised for $180,000. three months later, refinanced and moved on to the next. Now I own 20 buildings in 18 months so imagine where you can be in a short period of time. You...

Congrats Ceasar,Welcome from `Roockie of the Year` - 2008 Ontario REIN! It has been a great ride for me and I am sure it will be as rewarding for you since you decided to take action. Good luck in the future and if there is anything I can help you with please feel free to contact me anytime at...

Hello Alex, Thanks for the good wishes, I will be at the ACRE/REIN weekend in Toronto this weekend and would be happy to discuss my successes and offer you some suggestions that might help you on your road to long term success. My situation might be described as an example of the "Law of...

See what you started Alex! You ended up doing the right thing afterall. Talking to them is most important, getting as much information as possible through this forum is also important. Not only that, it gives everyone an opportunity to discuss the issues and we all come out of it with more...

Fellow REIN members, This may be a great deal if you are in a position to assume the existing mortgage. She is too far away to manage this property and needs to sell asap. The numbers work well for positive cash flow and there is a trade-off with the price but assuming that the property will...

Hi Alex, Look forward to meeting a fellow northerner at the monthly REIN meeting and following ACRE weekend. See you there! Gregg Miller, Sudbury

As mentioned previously, does the whole ceiling need to be replaced. I just had my maintenance (full time) guy repair a leak from a similar size hole on a roof edge for $790.00 which included two days labour, materials etc. The job involved three ceilings and two walls, as the water traveled...
