In Edmonton you can safely use 8% solution and I have found properties that meet this. Look for Apartment style condo`s or Townhouses.

Where in Saskatchewan were you looking? Were you planning to farm it yourself? I have some people you could talk to first hand. If you`re interested let me know.

Have a great time at Quickstart Adam, you`ll love it!

If you met Don you would find a man that walks his talk. There are plenty of people in REIN that are just as successful as Don and none of them prove to any of us that they have what they say they have. It`s easy to beleive that Don has success in real estate if you listen to him speak. One...

Hi all, April`s computer is slow so I read her all these replies on the telephone. It`s what she had already decided in her head anyway. She tells me there`s another little glitch to this situation. Her tenant that has asked her to do this just had his leg amputated from having Cancer. I...

Ya, April, I agree with the above. It`s completely unethical. Just tell him it`s illegal and unethical and leave it at that.

Wow, little sister. In my opinion it`s not really ethical but you`re right, he`ll probably just quit paying rent and force you to do it. Hopefully someone else with give you their .02`s worth.

Keenan, I think you have to go with that attitude that your property is better vacant than taking any tenant you can get. Don`t ever do that! We make sure our properties are clean, neat, and freshly painted, if necessary. I make the places nice enough that I wouldn`t mind living in them...

Jason, Keep us updated on how your Brother is doing. I would be interested in knowing. Don`t forget that "your brother" is the one who decides whether he wants to get better and there is nothing you can do if the intervention doesn`t work and he continues in a downward spiral. I know this...

It really depends on your ability. I always get an inspection done. Use a reputable one though, as they all aren`t the same!

If you think the appraiser is "out to lunch" then get a second appraisal done, without question. If I don`t like an appraisal, I always get a second one, and I always let the second appraiser know why I didn`t like the first appraisal, and I`ve always been happy with the second outcome. If you...

It`s good to always know who`s living in your properties, however I tend not to stress over tenants changing roomates, etc. If I happen by and someone else is living in one of my properties, I ask who it is and if there doesn`t seem to be any problems caused by it, then I let it go. As long...

Can you purchase the building vacant? Never mind, I see you`ve already done that.

Isn`t it interesting how, spring has sprung and evictions are rampant once again? It`s cyclical just like house sales and prices! It was too darn cold in the winter to risk not paying rent and getting evicted. I haven`t evicted anyone since the fall and have been responsible for over 60 doors...

Join REIN before making any hasty investments. It`s a valuable and cheap education. You won`t regret it! It will give you a direction so you can move forward confidently.

Investmart, If I were you I would just go to someone you trust. My suggestion to do two comparables, one from your side, and one from hers, isn`t such a bad idea. I think that`s why when so many couples break up they sell their property. That`s too bad really because it tends to be...

How much negative cash flow do you have on the property? How much do you stand to gain by selling it? Do you realize where you made the error purchasing the property? I`m not sure of the exact situation but if it`s sucking your blood, you`ll likely get discouraged about investing and not...
