Today, I will be printing out this article and sending it along with a letter to the Premier and Liepert. I encourage everyone to do the same.

In Calgary, the Rich Dad franchise sells the save tax scam. fight aids, save taxes or F.A.S.T. Clearly, the Rich Dad organization promotes investmesnts that will harm the investor and benefit the salesperson.

You should walk away from anyone who promotes a tax shelter scam. Actually, you should run away from anyone selling a tax shelter scam. Seriously, why would you consider a scheme that involves fighting the most powerful faceless entily in Canada (the CRA). Stupid really.

The smart business decision is to evict as soon as the process allows. Be generous with your donations to the poor or whatever cause you choose. Don`t ever be forced into donating to a tenant or other "charitable cause". Donate your time or money to the place that you choose and where you...

Wow!! What a progressive idea! And Vancouver council has the courage to pass this! I llive in Calgary where the council actively promotes its hatred for poor people (renters). Diane Urquahart and Gord Lowe would have a fit if poor people started tried to live in this housing in their ridings.

"The End of Energy Obiesity" is Peter Tertzakian`s follow up to "A 1000 Barrels a Second". Both should be the next book you read if- -you live in Alberta -you have any interest in energy - you have an opinion on global warming or cooling SERIOUSLY.

I agree. Have it removed right away. What happens if your tenant stops paying rent? Than you will have to foot the cost of removal.

Ron LeGrand`s presentation was excellent. Great perspective on how to market to find properties to purchase and how to have a few exit strategies to sell the properties to your own group of buyers. I`m sure the seminar will be top notch. (Rein did present a disclaimer at that there would be...

I`d get in and view the place asap (if it is safe, of course). I would access the premises as I deem this to be an emergency and do so without notice. If there is illegal activity, than get them out right away. In AB, you can evict in 24 hours when there is illegal acitivity. Engage...

QUOTE (TerryF @ Aug 16 2009, 12:01 PM) Thanks - doesn`t sound like we are too high as it is more than 1200 sq.ft. Will the LTB support the 15% for management? Some things they won`t, even if they are written into the lease and will rule in favor of the tenant if it goes to dispute resolution...

Direct deposit is great system. We use RBC & National Bank (NBC faxes you when a deposit bounces but has so few branches)

We have paid a professional cleaner $300 for a 1,200 sf house. The cost was high because the cleaner had to make more passes on the filthy carpet. We will send a copy of the invoice to the tenant. Document everything. Our cleaning costs have been as low as $120 for the same size. We have...

I’d hire a professional. Unless, you feel completely comfortable with removing this tenant. BTW: I had a relative that was shot and killed trying to remove squatters from his land. So, we just don’t enter into any situation that we don’t feel comfortable with.

I had a drug dealer across the street from a house of mine. My tenants complained to me. I called the police everytime I noticed a buyer and they blew me off. I called the local businesses, the school principal to see if they could help and I sent a letter to the landlord. That did not seem...

Can I get some thoughts on what appreciation you folks are telling your JV partners to expect in Calgary? For our business plan we have 0% for 2009 and 2010. We than have plugged in 2.5% for 11, 12, and 13. Your feadback is appreciated pun (btw: I tried searching the forum for this as I am...
