Bart, I signed up Vic Chung to look after a condo suite I picked up in October. He actually specializes in duplexes/fourplexes if I`m not mistaken. I dislike property management immensely, Vic actually enjoys it - in any case, he picked my property up, dealt with a prospective renter and...

QUOTE (greghabstritt @ Mar 17 2009, 10:30 AM) Hi all: The Commercial course is going to be great, and I`m looking forward to having everyone there. Thomas my friend, thanks for your kind words - and I agree, as with all investments, there are positives and negatives, pros and cons. We`ll be...

QUOTE (HeatherShadlock @ Mar 4 2009, 06:00 PM) If you are looking to go for the special price, there was another REIN member that posted online a week or so ago, in regards to needing a "guest" in order to get the even further discounted price. If you look back in the posts I am sure that you...

QUOTE (MatzoB @ Feb 27 2009, 11:02 PM) Thank you! I'm looking at Greg's website and I'm wondering if the discrepancy between the price listed on his website and Thomas' post above indicates there is special REIN rate? Yes, Greg had a special offer he presented at the last Calgary REIN...

QUOTE (roizes @ Feb 24 2009, 11:00 AM) oops Give me some contact info and we can discuss, see if we can get along. Goodstuff, I may also have a situation that would work - just PM here if you have not already found a situation that works for you. Ron Purvis, CA

I signed up for Greg`s course for $2k - I was going to try and find a guest but I ran out of time. To be frank with you, I had no interest in commercial real estate at all (for now) while I deal with the couple of residential properties that I currently have. The other night at the REIN...

QUOTE (GarthChapman @ Jan 23 2009, 06:02 PM) I`m not Diane, but will try to give you an answer. Making the assumption your property is in Alberta, you would not be entitled to double-dip by collecting from both your current tenant and the new one. Once the place is rented then the old tenant is...

Hey Diane, I trust you are doing well. I have a situation I need some input on regarding one of my tenants: Facts: 1) Client/tenant and I renewed a one year lease for October 1, 2008 to September 30, 2009 2) At the clients/tenants request we gave him the option to terminate the lease after...

Thomas, This is a great thread. I saw you at the recent Edmonton REIN meeting and also wanted to add my congratulations for your milestones. I intended to corner you for a couple minutes, but I seemed to keep my chance. Next time! Cheers, RJ Purvis, CA

QUOTE (JC51534 @ Jan 7 2009, 10:28 AM) Will $417,000 look cheap in 2013 ??? I`m certainly banking on it!

In the Quick Start program Don refers to a study that was done in 2006 related to what renters/potential renters look for when they are looking at a place to rent. There is a workshop page that really summarizes the data and that is good but I`m wondering if anyone can point me to the actual...

QUOTE (Jack @ Jan 6 2009, 09:24 PM) But that`s what this message board is for. I get enough great ideas & insights from reading posts from you, Garth Chapman, Adam Hoffman, Wealthy Boomer, etc. This will be my first meeting - and I too am looking forward to hearing what REIN has to say about...
