QUOTE (jwilbrin @ Jul 28 2009, 11:18 AM) Hi all! So one of my landlording pet peeves is Tenants not being out of the unit (belongings out and thoroughly cleaned) by the 12 noon time stated on their leases. I`ve had the occasional tenant who does not get their stuff out until late the evening...

QUOTE (Pradeep100 @ Jul 18 2009, 08:57 PM) Thanks for the replies and suggestions. I think it would be better for me to have a property manager as Greg mentioned "What is your goal". I would like to be only an investor and buy as much properties as possible. Thomas, I also agree with you. It...

QUOTE (lilbuffet @ Jul 17 2009, 07:50 AM) I am currently looking at a few properties, but I was wondering how Realtors are able to get the information they do? Are they connected to some sort of database or have access to restricted info? For example if I wanted to find out information about a...

-the bank will not give any representation or warranties - the bank will not warranty or guarantee the chattels and fixtures will remain on the property. they will be all stroked out of the offer. If they`re there on closing, great. They could have the right to remove and sell to try to recoup...

And I can`t stress enough. Please ensure to complete the Certificate of Service immediately after you serve the N4. http://www.ltb.gov.on.ca/graphics/stel02_111557.pdf Even if you choose to accept the tenants excuse for delay in processing the cheque, serve the N4 and what I did (when it was...

Where the heck is your REALTOR and team member in this? I can`t infringe on your Agency contract. In my opinion, if it were me, I`d be putting those things right back in and try to find some balance and mutual agreement. Even if they can`t give 5, they should allow 3....or something like that...

Hi Connie, It depends on a few factors. For example, do you also live on the property or is it strictly an income property? Though one can`t exactly evict on lack of cleanliness, if it`s something extreme perhaps you can try the N5. This one is for "wilful" or "negligent" whether they meant to...

I have a mortgage broker whom forwards me people for rent-to-own. However, my area of expertise and present clients invest in Barrie, Innisfil & Orillia area. He brought me someone that would like Aurora. I love Aurora and grew up there but haven`t been there in a long time. I know the real...

I am still getting emails all the time from the programs. think my first introduction was in 2004. I Friends, colleagues and I have gone to a few meetings. I like to experience other seminars just to see what`s out there and what`s being pitched. Though I personally am not crazy about the...

Wouldn`t it be a "case by case" scenario? To lump all people in the "separating" category and eliminate automatically could also have one miss out on a great tenant. If all other checks and conducting your due diligence on a potential applicant work out, why discriminate and automatically refuse...

QUOTE (JDRInvestments @ Mar 16 2009, 09:23 AM) Hi Brian and everyone attending.. If you are going to take the time to spend the entire weekend learning the ACRES system (it`s intense so come prepared and focused) then you should take advantage of the `free` members only meeting the night...
