Thank you for the inspiration! These systems work when followed - always great to see continued proof

It has been and continues to be quite the busy (good, fun busy) week. For instance having a massive audience for my webinar on "The Current and Future of Alberta Real Estate" . I have received quite a number of requests for the recording of it to re-listen to and to share with friends and...

Hey John.... Thank you for sharing your experience with the REIN Community. In fact, I would post this under "Success Stories" if I was you! Nick and Scott, whom you mention are great examples of what investors really should be all about. Class acts, just like yourself. .

How did this re-fi turn out? What path did he/she take? We'd all like to know as a good learning experience for the REIN Community.

Ever considered putting a basement suite in your personal home - as a mortgage helper? Well there are both good and bad aspects to doing so. Over and above what you may learn in this recent Globe & Mail article, please: 1. Make sure your insurance company knows about it 2. Choose your...

Congratulations Cory. Real estate is never a race so the pace you choose is the exact right pace. You've raised some dough, you've found undervalued property, you've built relationships and you've learned a ton. Wow, what more can a guy want :). Nicely done (and welcome back!)

The snow is falling, the cold has hit and now it it time for Canadian "Sunny Brain" time. Yes, it happens every year: the dream of tropical climates, the sun, the fun...... which leads to "Hey, why don't we just buy a property here so we can use it whenever we want?!? This area is amazing...

Nice result (already)! Susan. I bet that so many Ontario Members don't understand exactly how amazing this 6-month program (and the Weekend event that kicks it off, truly is. So very proud to see the results that grads are already creating. WAY above my expectations. And now they have 5 law...

“What’s Next For Calgary’s Housing Market?” Seems like a simple question, and one that everyone seems to be ‘forecasting.’ (in this case with a key missing variable, they are actually more ‘guessing than forecasting). So let’s combine a look at...

Great Post, Sure "Changing" anything in business (even when it is not working) can be painful. But, what we discover at the end of it is that the change often leads to positive momentum on other fronts. Having a bad property manager sure doesn't compel you to add more to your portfolio...

Hey Jeff, Once again... WOW! And to think it only began in 2007 at the ACRE. AMAZING. (Oh, BTW, in case you missed it there was a Global Financial Meltdown in the middle of your journey :) ) By reading this thread it is obvious that you approached the process strategically, mixing...

What a fun project. Celebrating wins, large and small throughout the REIN Community. Sometimes, as the investing process feels long, we forget the wins along the way. Let's share our wins together. Be proud, be bold. It doesn't matter what the win is - throw it out there. It isn't really...

Brand new downloadable report I just finished: How can you identify and interpret the key 6 and harness their game-changing power? This new e-book will help Real estate investing is considered by many to be a game of `Snakes & Ladders`. By focusing on the `Market Influencers` instead of...

I SO Love these stories. They are inspiring, they are humbling and they are a TON of fun! Is Returning to ACRE Weekend really worth the effort? is a question I get asked al lthe time. Well, here, you decide if it is 'Worth The Effort...." :) Ask Oliver... he started at an ACRE weekend...

Haven't tried yet. Please keep us posted Don

Wow! What a journey. And just like you have with so many areas of your life - you took control and created results. Thank you so very much for sharing this Margaret. Don

Stop the Madness! It is true, come will say just about anything to get their or their company's name into the media. Even some of the largest more respected firms do it. What they don't understand is that this constant fight for 'eyeballs' is not only confusing but also hurting investors as...

TJ, I cannot stress too much the importance of getting a REAL value appraisal done BEFORE you begin renting it out. This is critical! I have seen and heard too many people say "I got that all figured out" only to find out years down the road that you are about to pay tax even on the value...
