I am talking about sorting the comments on a given post not to list all postings on a category. When viewing a post and its comments, I prefer to list the most recent comments on the top vs having to page down from the original post to the end (newest). In most decent online forums this is a...

I used to have the most recent comment of a post on TOP. Now the new sites has the original post on TOP, how do I change the SORT ORDER? I want to see the most recent comment first.

In some jurisdictions you MUST obtain a recent survey. In my experience, most have one already so seller provides it. In one occasion, I split the cost...For most part it cost around 1k for one so if would 1k kill the deal? also get title insurance in case there are issues with survey.

Yes, in all my offers, I specify that a recent survey must be provided by seller.

"If there is a strong upside to buying the property" - There is none on this particular case as far as I can tell... market price is 325-330k... Seller can ask for whatever but other than debt relief I would not offer money. You also need to check if city taxes are owed (most likely) and other...

In my opinion there is not enough free equity to get involved unless you get a substantial discount with the contractor which you negotiate directly. And NO, it is not a good idea to give the seller any money upfront or later as "there is no equity here". Also, I will ask for 3-4 months. As...

RESP/OSAP (Ontario) are to be used for education expenses and sometimes bank/operators will request to see invoices or pay directly to universities. I would suggest to continue saving on your child's education while you explore the option to invite some investors to JV in a property where your...

Clue: Top people on their trade charge top rates. Also top guns always have followers, that is, people who are willing to compromise location/rates to be able to work/learn from them.

It's hard to provide advice when not all the details are available but as other suggested the easier option when a property is not performing is to sell it to minimize losses. However, I find that there are always options in cases like this, please give me a call to discuss and perhaps come with...

Get a better mortgage broker. You might want to consider bringing a JV into one of your existing properties at 25% cash. Invest 365K to get 15k does not make much sense for an investor so that might be a hard sell unless you arrange different terms such some money now and some later (VTB) or...

As renter: - Ability to sort by price or filter by bedrooms, baths, etc. (Make it easier to find or filter). - Pictures too small and limited. - Too much text per property, I would use more pictures than text. As property owner: - I would be looking as how you market the units and...

I have inquired CMHC about the same but for multifamily buildings and they did not provided much information in terms of cap rates. Your best option is to ask some appraisers in the area. Click on Quebec Federation of Real Estate Boards provide some economic data and reports. Click on...

For personal accounts, use the no fee ones... business accounts, I use TD which charge you an arm and leg.

Nice! congratulations..

You should ask your broker but you can ask Darryl at First National

Your premium will go up regardless of your claim or not (I never seen premiums go down due no claims)... so I would phone them and ask if you are actually covered. If you are then I see no problem of submit a claim... yet, that's just me.

I would get her to sign a piece of paper stating that she has no interest in the JV that you are doing (or planning to do) so that "she can walk the talk"

Not true - full disclosure is the way to go.

Depends on how much time you are looking to buy? 3-4 months? I would keep it on a savings account as you need proof of down payment. Longer than that then short term loan to other investors.

There is a meeting tonight at OREIO http://www.oreio.org/ and you can meet other investors, property managers, real estate agents who can promote your home or take over the management in case your are busy doing other stuff. Also note that there is a group of REIN members who meet every month...
