Join REIN hands down I don`t think the other options are really an available to you. 1. you will meet many, many people and learn everything you need to do it right. 2. You are right about that, plus you don`t have the money ( if I understand it correctly) 3. Same as 2, you need money to...

Welcome Rod and don`t hesitate to ask questions. Good luck.

Manoj, I second Neil, Ed and Jeff as well as all above. First congratulation. Well done. Your quite determination and positive resolve are quite evident. You are a pleasure to talk to and a genuine, nice person. You made it happen and also gave back to all of us along the way. I salute you for...

Robb, going the extra mile to fund-raise for this young man is the extra 10% that Don is talking about. Let me make a very easy prediction - more great things are going to happen to you in the future. All the best,

This entire post is GOLD. Thanks Ed, Neil and everyone else for the education. One comment: loyalty may have time limits - 24hrs, 1 week, 15 years. Who knows... T.

Hi Andy, Investing from abroad is no problem at all. In my opinion a PM would not be your best source for finding a property and managing your affairs in Canada. You need a whole team or a trusted Joint Venture partner in Canada to make sure that the REIN system is followed by everyone...

Is the property a multi-family with more than 7 units? Or commercial property like a store? if not change the agent. T.

Hi Terri, Look at the top of the page and find My Controls. On the left in My Controls you will find My Personal Settings, My signature - use it for your name and website URL, My avatar and My Photo is for your personal picture. I think there are some discussions on how to do all that in the...

Hi Terry, you just opened my eyes and helped me define something that I was missing. It is a "Yes" moment for me right now, thanks to you. If you feel appropriate, please share the content of the email that you sent out. I am curious how you worded it to prompt such a great response. Also...

Hi Carrie, You need to speak to a good REIM mortgage broker, work with actual numbers to get the real options and costs. Make sure that you work with great mortgage broker and real estate agent, both are very, very important. Look around here for recommendations. Email me if you need more info...

Congratulation on taking action. Don`t stop.

Hi Ken, you need an advice from a mortgage broker who knows investment properties and investors. There are few REIN members here that will be able to give you direction and tell you what`s possible. Same goes for your RE agent. Your first investments are very important, because they form the...

QUOTE (GaryMcGowan @ May 5 2009, 05:38 PM) `One Trillion Dollars` Well just how much is one trillion dollars? It depends where you live. In the American system one billion is 1,000,000,000 and a trillion is 1,000,000,000,000 so one trillion is one thousand times one billion. In the...
