I am a immigrant who came to canada 12 months ago and also a moderator in a large forum for immigrants coming to Canada. There are plenty stories how hard it is for the first timers to get a place and also get scammed thru the landlord. Anyhow, the problem with a working visa is that he only...

I am going with IKEA and always wait until they have the 1000$/100$-deal. Which means: Per 1000$ spend, you get a 100$ gift card back. Price is compared to HomeDepot MUCH less and most important nearly 100% sure available for immediate take out. Our home kitchen was at homeless depot round...

twitter or what do you mean....? I m NorthernAlex there since now.

Hi Forum members. I would like to contact an Incorporation, where I only have the name like "15834834 Ontario Inc." out of a document. Do you know if there is a possibility to find more information about the company? Like Name of Owner, Address aso. Thank you for your help.

Thomas, are you going to be at the Toronto ACRE?

You could add the/a parent(s) as a lease guarantor. I was thinking to do that, but got an older tenant. I just googled it (see here) and found the second hit, a word document, quite interesting.

I am from North Bay, which is another hour away from Huntsville. I am sure that the north will be added more frequent in the next top 10 Ontario regions....

Good point, invst4profit. I meant this Austrian Laminate, which HD has on sale. Normal price is 1.19$ - 1.39$/sf. I bought the same manufacturer and product for us at home and did a couple rooms with it (BR, hallway) and loved to work with it. Regarding laminate: What are you using underneath...

Our HomeDepot is selling 10mm clicking Laminte for 0.75$/sf. right now. Looks awesome and worth every dollar. These deals are offered cross the country from time to time as I was told from the employee.

Neil, thank you very much. Thats the topic I was looking for. I seem to have one excellent ODSP tenant in my 5plex. A second one seem to be a little bit loud. The excellent one asked me if I would be willing to speak to his friend regarding renting a vacant unit out. If he agrees that I...

Hi all. I remember that I read a great post from invst4profit or investsmart how to handle potential ODSP tenants, but can not find it using the search button. Could someone point me out how you are dealing with ODSP clients? Thank you in advance.

Too late. We already have three kids. LOL. Sooo, childless couples, Ur turn!

I am meeting my insurer this Friday. I will add this to my task list!

It would be interesting to know how banks will deal with the combination mortgage/high(er) inflation. Will they try to adjust? Is there a clause somewhere hidden?

QUOTE (bigbabba @ Mar 5 2009, 02:14 PM) thanks, ok so in many cases it looks like a 6plex would be considered commercial..what % of financing would they provide for this type of investment..in general. Same question, which I asked my branch manager: Answer: Him with the RBC would quote round...

I just found this at http://www.landlordselfhelp.com/facts/2007..._belongings.pdf :. . . The Residential Tenancies Act states that if the tenant has abandoned the unit, the landlord may dispose of any unsafe or unhygienic items immediately. The landlord must wait 30 days after either obtaining...

My local RBC branch manager and mortgage provider taught me yesterday: Financing up to incl. 6 homes = residential rates, above that "commercial" rates.

Mark, did they take everything with them? I remember reading something, that the landlord has to store for 2 months if they didn`t take everything with them. "HEEEEY, I HAD A $2,000 DIAMOND RING HIDDEN IN THE SHELF!" Maybe someone know more about it....

Neil, my main intension is to have my paper work in place plus some clauses which I wanted to include. Like that the tenant can`t install his own washing machine or/and dryer without my permission. There is a coin laundromat which should be used. I charge 25$ for a NSF cheque, which I don`t...
