Hi all - thought I would share our research with Canada Post to date: 1) We are having our stamps put on by the folks that are producing our yellow letters for us in the States. You can buy the stamps over the phone and have them shipped directly. In order to do this, call 1-800-565-4362...

QUOTE (ctang @ Oct 25 2009, 07:28 PM) Hey Neill, that`s no problem. Appreciate your feedback. My exit strategy depends on what I will and will not be able to do first. The house is owned by the bank and has just been listed couple days ago. The realtor has tried to find the total loan bal to...

Curious to hear Barry`s answer on this, as a deal that we are setting up is essentially structured this way. Thomas, thanks for your insight - it carries a lot of weight with us!

QUOTE (RedlineBrett @ Oct 24 2009, 01:45 PM) Most definitely. Again my admittedly biased advice is that your realtor can be your biggest asset when buying property privately from a motivated vendor... Providing comparable sales and reviewing your offer.. things like that. If you have a good...
