What a beautiful person. Thank you.

Ahh, we have here REIN`s own version of the short story, "The Lady, or the Tiger?" I wanna know who prevails. Prey tell! What if the cat lady had frequent overnight gentlemen suitors? Now you have an extra cat in the equation

QUOTE (Lermy @ Jan 18 2009, 12:47 PM) I`m definitely in. 24 and living D/T Van. Flipped a prop and now looking to buy a C/F. "Blind leading the blind"... We already have REIN and other sources to help with knowledge and wisdom. I think it is great to talk to others in the same situation and...

QUOTE (devc @ Jan 15 2009, 12:48 AM) I think it matters because there's something connecting about aspects of peoples life which are alike. This is why you often have minorities (and often majorities as well) living in similar areas of cities. I'm 24 in Vancouver. Anyone young guns in...

I always thought Edmonton had a don`t ask, don`t tell policy to secondary suites unless someone complained. Would a 4 unit duplex in the university district be less vunlerable to basement tenant evictions? There is suffiient parking on the property so that no tenant has to park on the street...

QUOTE (Smitty @ Jan 7 2009, 09:54 AM) I like the "ra-ra you can do it" and "lets have xyz talk about goal setting" as much as the next guy in terms of guest speakers, but given what happened in 2008, I would hope the REIN team has dedicated itself to making sure this event has a lot of...

QUOTE (WadeFenner @ Jan 4 2009, 07:41 PM) Yes investing in foreclosures takes work..... so does a job..... as well as investing through any other method..... If you`re looking for motivated sellers you might as well start with a crowd of people who "ought to be" highly motivated.... Can you...

Ba Humbug. I`m snowed in so the highlights of my day involved watching a CNBC special on "Bernie Madoff & The 50 Billion Dollar Heist and drinking Gin & Tonics-alone. I must say this beats being obligated to show up to certain social events. I`m using the extra time to plan my New Year early...

Nobody scores 100% all of the time. The Top Ten predictions were made using what were current statistics at the time. Unexpected events happen. That`s life.

The "Ra Ra" attitude has its place and the masses eat it up. It`s not exclusive to this site. It`s also found in most self improvement seminars. When presenting to audiences, presenters are trained to ask rhetorical questions, use humour and positive mumbo jumbo to keep the audience engaged...

We should be respectful of the culture of the "sandbox" we play in but even when I don`t agree with everything Jack writes, I appreciate his dissenting views and attitude. He challenges the status quo and keeps the board lively. If one is offended, annoyed or whatever negative emotion comes to...

It`s a fantastic idea. I, too would participate.

I have a certain affinity for the Eames era and I think wood paneled walls do not necessarily have to look outdated if done just right. With the correct lighting and flooring, a contemporary look may be achieved. Wooden walls do not have to look gauche. Ex...

QUOTE (VicChung @ Nov 25 2008, 07:31 PM) As for the economic fundamentals forum, I used to read them, but find the new format hard to read. To balance the negative news, does anyone think that we should start posting a few of the REALLY great and POSITIVE articles in the General Discussions as...

I find "voices of dissent" refreshing. They serve as a catalyst for deeper discussion and engages the reader. Message boards, especially when egos and money are concerned, must be a sociologist`s dream; It is interesting to observe the emotional responses present in Jack`s threads-we should be...

I have two questions Don. I understand there are various predictions and models for investing in times of uncertainty. I do not have the time to spend hours researching the economic fundamentals nor do I know how to analyze the subtleties and variables involved so I am thankful for REIN`s...

The price of oil fell to $50US a barrel. What`s behind the curtain for Alberta real estate?

I have a JV partner who is on title. The property is cash flowing and we are both getting cash flow from the property. Each of us own 50% but I am not on title. Assuming that it is relevant that I have a cash flow property that I am not on title for, will obtaining a caveat on a property make it...

I just received the results of my first home inspection. This is the first time I have made an offer on a property (duplex) built in the 70s and I don`t know how to translate the results into laymans` terms. My primary concern are the costs involved and severity of the problems. I also do not...

I only know the basics of Search Engine Optimization and the AdSense/Adword program and would very much appreciate a good lead or two. I am confident that there is someone here who would know since there are experts in almost every field here.
