Hi Neil, I get the same call almost every time I have a vacancy to fill. I answer that I am not interested.

Hi Steve, a Joint Venture agreement, when properly written, will deal with all these issues and many more that you may not be aware of at the moment. As far as having 5 people to cover a down payment of 50% although possible it over-complicates the transaction. 200,000 investment property is...

I was thinking along the same lines. You can say to a JV that this cost is build-in and not negotiable. As long as the donation is a reasonable amount I don`t think many investors will object. It is how you explain it that will make the difference and your explanation for doing it is great.

Start by reading " Real Estate Investing in Canada" and take action. Start small and grow.

Having him here will be a treat for most of us. REIN please make this happen.

Carla, I am sure they are very proud. Great work.. Best of luck to them and congratulations. Todor

I agree with John. that would be the best thing to do in Ontario.

Ed, since you are running everrything out of your name, not a company, I don`t see how this is any different than any other "business like" activities that you may be doing with your own money. Todor

I think that after 100 to 200 additional posts to this discussion we may come up with the top 10 towns for Ontario. Don`t be surprised if they are the same as the ones already researched and published by REIN. Why reinvent the wheel? Are the top 10 towns not enough, or do we doubt the...

Joe have you calculated how much you will lose if the stock goes down by 10% and vise versa if you RE purchase goes down by 10%. How likely is that the RE will rebound after a reasonable amount of time vs. the stock being delisted or significantly loosing value. I believe that people will make...

There a people doing well in Cornwall, KWC, Hamilton, Waterloo, Brampton, Barry, Orilia, Durham region and many more. I`ve picked Hamilton because it`s the closest to where I live. Not the best reason, but an important one at this time of learning.

QUOTE (Jack @ Dec 23 2008, 09:47 AM) Any reason why REIN only focuses on Alberta & Ontario? They`re probably the two most business-friendly provinces from a tax perspective, although Ontario`s quite left-wing. For me, I`m wanting population growth, I`m wanting job growth. But I`m also wanting...

I rely heavily on the research that the REIN team does and provides. It is all done and based on fundamentals that will provide for steady growth into the future. That`s what I am looking for. Once that town or city is identified, a local team member is incredibly important. In my case that is...

Hey Brett, I have learnt much from your experience and posts through 2008. I am glad to hear that it was a successful year for you. Merry Christmas and much success in the New Year to you. Todor

Fantastic work Gregg. Give yourself a huge pat on your back. I can`t wait to read your story in the magazine.

Jack I have absolutely no use for your posts! They provide me with nothing. Fear, fear, fear - I get it. It`s all around us. By now everyone knows that jobs will be lost (maybe mine), fortunes will be wiped out, money in real estate will disappear, tough, tough times will be had by many. I...

Well said and well done. Thank you for reminding us that balance is everything not money. Todor

Well done Jack. I agree 100% whit that. Todor

Why don`t we declare war to the USA and surrender the very next minute. They will occupy us and Obama can become our President. Quick and simple.

QUOTE (ZanderRobertson @ Dec 3 2008, 03:33 AM) Undemocratic and unaccountable are matters of semantics Elizabeth May is calling the current government "illegitimate", I guess that would also be a matter of semantics or is she just right to say so? No, words have meaning and when used properly...
