    Alberta real estate in a slump? (Market analysis included)

    Good going. [emoji4]yes I use this. Analytic personality. And although we're not buying right now and I have not done this research my general knowledge would think you're right

    first time investor.

    Don CAMPBELL wrote a book called "97 tips for Canadian real estate investors". I found it very useful information.

    What is my next move?

    Sounds like a nice problem to have - you can just go farming for awhile and then you won't have that nice problem . . . Sorry - couldn't help myself.

    New Trudeau Tax on Home?

    I have always been under the impression that was always the case, although I did not think it was ever actually enforced. We have always claimed our office space against our farm, so I'm kind of expecting some tax at the end of the day. Forcing people to declare the sale of their personal...

    No they have not - they are focussed on large multi-family properties or large portfolios. https://www.rentmoola.com/

    To buy or not to buy, that is the question...

    Great post. We have lived through these before, and yes, this one is "different" - no doubt about it, (they all are) but the key is "not needing to sell". Keeping steady through these times, continuing to let someone else pay the mortgage, and looking for exceptional deals along the way -...

    What 'for rent' sites work in Edmonton?

    I have found good results from Rent Faster, no results from Rent Board, but most results from Kijiji.

    Go down in Alberta rent?

    Great conversation - I just had the exact request in Grande Prairie. He is currently on a month to month Lease. I dealt with it by offering a fixed lease at $1645 or a new month to month at $1725. He liked the second option and seems to be happy with the deal. I really appreciate the above...

    Alberta NDP Provincial 2015 Budget: Thoughts?

    Yep - totally agree - with your fact on the car purchase - and I totally disagree with the idea that so-called "progressive" taxation is neccesarily the best for our economy, and for people. I particularily like a sales tax (commonly termed "regressive"), because no matter what income bracket...

    replacing or repair broken appliance

    We have three Kenmore fridges with bottom freezer - they are ALL leaking water from the base of the fridge. They are all about two years old. I unfortunately bought the same fridge for our house at the same time I bought the two others - so I know about that annoying leak. Poor manufacturing...

    Alberta NDP Provincial 2015 Budget: Thoughts?

    I really fail to understand the vehement opposition to a PST in Alberta. A sales tax makes sense on so many levels - stable revenue source, totally fair - generally the wealthier people will pay more, which seems to be the desired outcome by parties such as the NDP - although I must say that it...

    How to find and keep good tenants using the F.I.R.E. method

    Hi Joey, I like your philosophy and I don't think there should be any other way to treat people. Thanks for posting this.

    real estate newbie

    You are obviously a saver - I get that - it took me a long time to decide to spend money on a "membership" - REIN - but it was a great decision. Even if you join on-line and listen to the meeting material, you will learn something every single month that will save you more than your membership...

    Using RESP to buy a property to my child?

    Do your own homework with your financial institution, but we structured our RESP as a family plan from the beginning, then as the kids started University, we withdrew only the Grant portion over the last few years - taxable in each student's name. It gave us tons of flexibility to have a...
