I found it great, just sharing the difficulties and opportunities other people are or aren't seeing. Really opens your eyes and gets the gears in your head moving. It can be so difficult to get specific experience based answers no matter how much you read, that's what I was finding.

I was talking to a friend of mine who does mamagement in the Brampton plant, he knows I like job creation and mentioned this to me. Has anyone else heard these rumours buzzing?

I could track someone down through my brokerage out that way and have them contact you.

"If it's making money or breaking even I don't know why it would end up as a power of sale." There could be a million and 1 reasons! Don't worry about that just treat it as any other investment and do your homework. Power of sales are not always negligence or people being irresponsible sometimes...

Do you know any other realtors or investor in the area? Try contacting somebody in a similiar area of town with a similiar building, or experience with similar building. There should not be a huge variance unless there is issues with the building envelope and air is getting in. Add 20-30% on top...

Maybe alaas can give you a detailed answer, but I do know I have not had a problem once since I started using. I had my drain go slow 3 4 times in a 2 week span and clog twice. The plumber snaked it and got nothing after I had already snaked it to no avail, so he recommend this and after a...

Ontario's dreaming of a white Christmas, but living in a wet and muddy one!

I came across this awesome product by mr rooter. Not sure if other companies make it but it works great, I have not had an issue since and best of all its not corrosive chemicals...

I have never tried painting an entire unit yet mostly because I didn't want to do it insude, in the summer I planned on trying to do a fridge with 2 coats to see how it finishes. But it will work great for dents and sratches and scrapes, for example when you get those white streaks from...

Kijiji is awesome especially around christmas when everyone buys new before they know what to do with the old. Grab an old appliance and one of these from home depot to make it looks new...

A question: as it seems like your going to the construction expert and are going to leverage your skills. Are you going to bill the work at a regular rate to both of you and split the cost or do they expect a deal on the labour and material?

Good Point. I have a questions with regards to your capital expenditures, how do you determine your yearly percentages? Is it based on general age or do you have a contractor give an estimate? I always tend to look at it as something to be added to the top of end of purchase price. IE if I put...

I would agree with you 100%. I was trying to put it in a little different perspective not reccomending not to account for those things. I noticed working with someone over the summer who was very analytical, sometimes when you dont take a step a back you can analyze every deal into the ground...

Hey everyone I started a multi family mastermind meetup in the Waterloo region for the new year for anyone who would be interested. My goal with the meetup is to have investors in the area exchange ideas and discuss what types of rates and return we are seeing in today's market, best areas for...

I would recommend keller williams they are newer to Canada but are the top training company in the world, and they have a good monthly rate. I just joined from remax and already notice some positive differences, avoid remax unless you know you are going to produce they are expensive if you are...

I find it helps when you step back and think big picture sometimes we can be to analytical, analyzing is great don't get me wrong but sometimes it's easy to over analyze. Example: 6% Vacancy: $87 5% Repairs: $72.50 7% Capital Expenditures: $101.50 8% Property Management: $116 While these are...

Sorry about the delayed answer, The costs are dependant upon what you want. I use barcode publicity for mine, they give you a few templates to choose from and then you can edit content in a portal. really user friendly

No idea I'am in Ontario, But I bet if you reach and ask people who they use you could gain some ground. That would be my avenue.
