If I have an existing $160,000 mortgage on a property and I sell that proeprty and turn around to buy anew $160,000 proeprty, and assuming I have a portable mortgage - can I port that mortgage without having to re-qualify, or do I have to go through the re-qualification process?

Hi everyone, A few quick questions... I am considering selling my revenue property (30 yr. old SFD) just outside of Edmonton next spring to take advantage of what is generally an annual upswing in activity and prices. First, the house is currently rented with tenants who signed a new 1-yr...

Hi Jessa, I live in BC and own a rental property in Alberta - I use RBC (Royal Bank) as my insurance provider for that property. I would assume they could do the same for you as an Ontraio resident... as far as I`m aware it would only be problematic if you either lived in or owned the proeprty...

I live in BC but my rental property is in Alberta. I have been using RBC for the past 2.5 years but not entirely satified. Anyone have suggestions on who to use given my situation (not all insurers can insure outside of their province of operation - ie my vehiclke is insured through BCAA but...

I moved from Edmonton to Nanaimo last summer. These guys were great, and affordable. I was already out on the Island so they did the pick up from a storage unit and delivered on time. Nice husband and wife team with 2 teenage helpers (their son and a friend I believe). My golf bag ended up...

Nanaimo Airport is currently being extended and upgraded and will be able to accomodate 767`s, and thus will be able to compete with Comox and Victoria for air service. The only reason Comox has Westjet is they have the air force base, thus had a facility to acomodate The Nanaimo Regional...

QUOTE (MatzoB @ Apr 20 2009, 10:59 PM) You can appreciate the fact that it is your responsibility to remove the tree and relieve us of your nuisance. That`s just hilarious. Previous poster likely offers the best solution - tell them you will agree to have the tree removed at their cost and pay...

Yet another question from the novice.... The mortgage on my rental property is up for renewal in September, 2010 (17 months from now). It is a 5-year fixed at 4.4% with 18 years remaining on amortization. I understand that I will not need to re-qualify in order to renew this mortgage, that RBC...

Hello, currently renting out my 3+1 bedroom updated bungalow with fenced yard and double garage in Fort Saskatchewan, rent has been stable for nearly 2 years at $1700/month + utilities. Current lease expires at the end of June. My property management company advises that the current tenants...

QUOTE (mortgageman @ Feb 27 2009, 02:34 PM) It seems 1/2 duplexes in Fort Sask are around $1500 to $1550. We have tenants who we are renegotiating with and have suggested $1600 because they have a dog. Interesting - Thanks Jason. It seems to me that based on the 2 scenarios identified that...

QUOTE (PaulPoulsen @ Feb 27 2009, 03:36 PM) I don`t find this to be the case at all. All our rents are holding steady and we`re even anticipating minor increases when our leases come due. Do you mind if I ask where you`re getting those numbers from? Paul, this was from my property management...

QUOTE (ChrisDavies @ Feb 27 2009, 12:55 PM) That`s a cost/benefit question. If you bail, what`s the total financial picture? Will the gain from selling be more than that from holding out for a year, eating the $2700 and being back up in a year when the market is stronger (for sales and rentals)...
