QUOTE (Lyndat @ Nov 2 2010, 10:06 PM) Hello Wonderful Ontario REIN Members! Maribel and I would like to say what a great time we had at the Quick Turn Boot Camp last week in TO! The Ontario REIN members were so warm and welcoming! We were so impressed by your energy, knowledge and eagerness...

Its been said already but I`ll say it again, be careful where you buy down there, get somebody knowledgeable in the city to have a look at the deal, preferably not s/one aching to kill the deal. I just bought one on Cannon east of Wentworth that is in a pocket of sketchy neighbourhoods, be aware...

QUOTE (terri @ Oct 16 2010, 08:05 PM) I had to bug them a bunch of times before it happened. My realtor`s TD loc never went to prime +1, it always stayed at prime, so i`ve been bugging my bank for a while and been getting the "well if you fulfill our criteria" story. I fulfilled all the...

QUOTE (invst4profit @ Oct 16 2010, 04:56 PM) If it seems too good to be true it possibly is. I see potential major costs in replacing aging roof coverings with solar panels in place. Probably best to have a metal roof installed first. I also see the potential for roof leaks as the installation...

QUOTE (gwasser @ Oct 8 2010, 01:40 PM) If you like technical investing, you must have noticed that over the last week or so, the TSX has broken out of its trading range and that the Dow is above 11,000. Considering the black mood prevailing just a few months ago - a mood that even affected me -...

QUOTE (JimWhitelaw @ Oct 5 2010, 02:13 PM) Oh, and here`s another one that I`ve seen used: 1) Get an accepted offer on the property with a very low deposit (say $10) and a very very long condition period (6-8 wks). 2) Register your contract as a caveat on the property. That way you tie the...

I have possibly 2 leads from tired landlords and would possibly like to buy one or both under contract. Can someone summarize quickly how to do it?

Having exclusive buy and holds for almost 3 yrs now but having sold several early this year I can see very clearly the advantage of RTOs, there is a preplanned exit strategy and superior cash flow. Anyone thats learned from Ron LeGrand will tell you his philosophy is as he says "I`ll take the...
