    CMHC said No - What Now?

    QUOTE (selewis @ Feb 20 2009, 01:30 PM) Currently of our 11 properties, only 6 are CMHC insured. The rest are conventional. The present value of the six loans with CMHC is about 730k. This sounds about right. It was around $1,500,000 with two of us qualifying.

    We ran into the same obstacle recently, and were told that CMHC has a cap on how much they will insure with any one person. Apparently its around the $1,500,000. They insured our last purchase (we were doing 10% on our deals) but told us that they would not do any more and that if the deal we...

    How to make monthly INCOME

    QUOTE (islandplans @ Feb 6 2009, 04:16 PM) This may seem overly simple to some, but I am sometimes puzzled by the term cash flow. If two homes on the same block were identical with exact same costs and same rents how would the following work: Each house cost $300,000. Investor `A` of House 1...

    Rent to own the good and bad....

    QUOTE (seanverret @ Jan 29 2009, 07:53 AM) Thanks Mark. First, if I owned a house for a while (2 years) and I was just about to get tenants into it who want to take advantage of the rent to own - how should I get myself prepared to make that happen? Second, what income are you making during...

    45% passive tax

    QUOTE (MikeMcCrae @ Jan 27 2009, 02:11 AM) Please do not take tax advise from a banker!! They have little or no training in that regard. It is hard enough to find a licenced accountant that understands the rules. When I quit work and went to the bank for advise on how to structure my future he...

    Platinum Properties Group

    I`m in Surrey, BC, so have dealt with a rep here in Vancouver. I found it easy to get into my first few properties, as I didn`t have much time to deal with the paperwork. Platinum did most of it for me, such as mortgage application and legal work. All I had to do was sign papers. I might still...
