We're going thru this now. Our understanding is that you can enter for a viewing with 24 hrs notice in the last month or 30 days of the lease. Or anytime with tenants permission. Helps to rent to " neat freak" tenants as it may save you a month of vacancy if you otherwise have to do a deep clean...

70 is not that old, unless your Mom's health isn't so good. If she sells the house and takes the cash, you might expect 4-5 % of 180k for life, taxable, to some degree, so maybe 9,000 per yr pre tax, and indexed, for life. You could also buy an annuity, which is a pension for life, with the...

I use the REIN 4 colour file system as well. With a four drawer filing cabinet. I think you can find the system setup instructions on the Rein site. It works well for us.

Thanks David, I have a power of attorney now, and i'll be setting up a joint account very soon, and find out how i can set it up so i can deposit the cheque and be the only one to withdraw. Dan

I recently purchased a property via AFS in Calgary. While setting up my Investor Guard Insurance with Park Insurance, they cautioned me that any insurance claim payouts would be made out to myself AND the person on title. Obviousely, I'd like to ensure that i alone will be able to cash any...

sounds like you've got it all wrapped up. Good for you.

That's an interesting stat. As a CFP, CLU and financial advisor, I can recognize a good long term asset, and also own real estate. However, I also own stocks, bonds, mutual funds and cash. Each asset class has it's own unique features and uses. In my experience, it's not either one or the other...

Thanks Pete. That's good information. There are 2 layers of Lino, the first layer, i suspect has some asbestos and would probably be a type one.

I need to remove some linoleum flooring on a home in Calgary built in 1952. The Kitchen has a layer of linoleum over linoleum type tiles. So my guess is that there could be some asbestos somewhere, although I'm not certain. Any suggestions as to how to proceed, assuming i don't want to lay...

Thank you Andrea. I did everything but pay the 5 bucks. I guess that's the final step. Dan

Hello. Are there any inexpensive ways to find the registered owner of a specific property in the Calgary Area? Thanks, Dan

Thank you for your input, much appreciated. Dan

Thanks for you input Dave. I should clarify. When i said "personal use", i meant to run my own business, rather than lease it out. I`m going back to look at the property again. Appreciate your remarks. QUOTE (DaveRhydderch @ Dec 16 2010, 02:27 PM) Hi Dan, You need to make your offer...

Hello Investors, I`m looking for a little advice as this will be the first Commercial property I`m buying. I`m going to make an offer on a Business Condo in Calgary. for personal use. I like the space, and would like to get it, so I`m willing to pay near market value, if i have to. Property is...

I was at the event. I thought it was full value. There were probably what looked like 6 ready to go deals presented on stage. No idea if they were succesfully closed or not as the final meetings didn`t take place until after the training, i.e. Sunday, Monday. If they were closed, and I have no...

HI, I`ve found someone to share the cost with. Thanks.
