    Real Estate Jobs

    QUOTE (princecharles @ Oct 9 2008, 12:50 PM) Thanks for your response, but why do you think property management would train one for being a real estate investor? I think primarily us new guys are more concerned with what job will teach us the most about the game, rather than what will provide...

    A Bit Concerned!

    Oct 21st 2009 at 3:51 PM! Just kidding. Don or anyone else can only look at trends and no one has a crystal ball. We have become used to these massive increases of 30 or 40%. That is not normal. When it goes up that quickly, things have to come down. Ride it out, watch your ratios and...

    Property Management Issues

    Yup, been there. Freaking brutal. Try the Better Business Bureau. Also, the Real Estate Council of Alberta is a good place to lodge complaints. There are a group of us in Red Deer with a similar experience. I think we are writing a book!

    Buyer Representation Agreement

    QUOTE (bigbear @ Dec 15 2007, 04:57 PM) I do not sign exclusivity contracts. Those contracts can become a massive roadblock if the realtor does not do his job. What if he doesn`t do his job? What if you find a great property but can`t buy it without having to pay him? This has happened to me...
