QUOTE (MikeMcC874 @ Feb 27 2010, 02:18 PM) Just wondering what you all add to your leases and why when you have your lawyers do them. Mike I`m not sure what you`re trying to accomplish but in Alberta you cannot overide the Alberta Tenant Act even if your tenant signs the lease. S you need to...

QUOTE (CarrieKoch @ Nov 30 2009, 08:42 PM) Does anyone know what I need to take with me to get the deal done? I know things are a little sticky in Ontario still. I`d take an Offer to Purchase contract and a financing schedule. Both should be clear enough for your seller to understand...

QUOTE (MarkTorgerson @ Nov 18 2009, 03:51 PM) Hi Wade This is great info and an interesting approach!! So if I am understanding you correctly, you are not actually exiting with a lease-to-own system. You are in fact becoming the "bank" and financing the purchaser right out of the gate and for...

QUOTE (MarkTorgerson @ Nov 17 2009, 02:32 PM) HelloI am interested in using some of the Quick Turn real estate methods as more of an exit strategy for some of the units that I have already owned for a number of years. I have been looking at some information in regards to establishing price but...

What business do you think I`m in? QUOTE (invst4profit @ Nov 15 2009, 08:56 AM) I am talking about middle class real people not high end entitlement class condo dwellers. Tenants in rentals.

Another point no one has mentioned is permits. In Edmonton a licenced tradesman must pull the permit and sign off on the work then its inspected by the city (electrical, gas, plumbing, etc) . I don`t know many who would do that for someone else to do the work. I can pull the permit if I own &...

Hi Again, First of all - I respect your thoughts and position. Mine is just different. I`ll elaborate if I may. When renovating and reselling I find I probably more than recoup, and profit from, replacing all appliances with brand new unless the existing appliances were in excellent condition...

Hi Monte,The whole point of the letter letter is it`s personalize ie addressed to a specific person. This is why it gets opened. A cream coloured invitation envelope hand addressed in red ink with a real stamp will get opened way before an envelope with "Homeowner" on the front. And don`t seal...

Hi Zander, Do you mind sharing what kind of service does it for way less than yellowletter.com? I`m very interested in that! Zander

I`m going to go. It means another trip down south but it`ll be worth it. I`ve heard a lot of Barry`s short talks and I`m interested in hearing his expanded version and to get copies of his contracts. I`ve used his JV contract with good success as it was much easier for my JV partners to...

Yikes Hello, I understand the basic thought pattern but I feel the concept is way off track. Whats the plan get a new credit card everytime you start a new JV relationship with somebody? Provide quarterly, bi-annual, or annual bookkeeping statements as per your agreement and be done with it...
