QUOTE (GaryMcGowan @ Jul 4 2008, 10:26 AM) We are closing on three properties at the end of the month with the same JV partner. We have thought about opening up a high interest savings account. We could put a decent amount of the reserve funds into it and receive a good return while still having...

QUOTE (GarthChapman @ Jul 3 2008, 09:15 AM) Hi Dianne, You can edit or delete any of the Vendors/Contacts (as you can in any of the Tables) you have entered in REMA via the Maintain Tables section. Thanks, Garth.

Once you add a vendor, bank, etc, how do you later edit that information? I made a mistake on a vendor`s information and in trying to correct it, I ended up with two listings for the same company. Now I don`t know how to delete the first one or to go in and change contact information, etc.

Thanks, Brett. I wanted to make the same suggestion, but you beat me to it! My suggestion would be to stop looking for the get rich quick approaches and just get rich the REIN way. Slow and steady wins this race, and it`s not that slow! Join REIN and learn the fundamentals and principals...

QUOTE (DianneDachyshyn @ Jul 1 2008, 10:39 AM) We are entering our data in Rema and we do not know the zoning descriptions for Grande Prairie (in fact, we don`t know the basics about zoning). Could someone help us out? What would be the zoning for a duplex in Mission? Do we need to call the city...

The cover letter is invaluable. On our last deal, there were two offers made the same night, ours and another. We included a cover letter. Our JV partner was going to live in the home with his family, so he wrote how impressed he and his wife were with the beautiful home and the fantastic...

I`ve been reading investment books lately like Multiple Streams of Income, Start Late Finish Rich, and Secrets of the Millionaire Mind. They all end up pitching the services of a financial coach (in each case the author). They all recommend real estate, but they also look at other types of...

QUOTE (thomasbeyer2000 @ Jun 26 2008, 12:14 AM) investing in real estate is a business. It takes time, money and SKILLS. Skills take time to learn, and usually some money to educate yourself using books, tapes, CDs, courses, networks, conferences, seminars .. . Join a group, like REIN, or take a...

We would like to learn how to use VTB when placing offers, but we aren`t too sure how it works. We don`t know how to present the deal, how that affects our calculations and how the banks and lawyers treat the VTB once the offer is accepted. Could some of you who are more experienced in this area...

Is anyone investing in Drumheller? Any information that you could give me on the market there would be helpful. Thanks.

Does anyone have a good JV agreement to use for a hassle free tenant strategy?

QUOTE (DonCampbell @ Mar 14 2008, 09:44 PM) Hi, All of my JV`s on Multi-Family properties are on a 50 - 50 basis. No wavering because what you bring as the `real estate expert` is as important if not more important than the silent money partner. It all depends on where you are buying...

We would like to buy an apartment building (11 suites) and we are wondering how to approach a JV deal for such a property. Is it the same as any other JV deal in that they provide the capital, we provide the Real Estate expertise and we share 50/50 in the equity and cashflow, or is there a...

Thanks for the help in finding a realtor. Now does anyone have the names of a good PM company and inspector?

Can someone recommend a good realtor in Ft. Mac?

We bought a house that has a fourth bedroom in the basement. All it needs is paint and carpet. We know about Mushroom Basket for the paint, but does anyone have a good sturdy carpet to recommend? It`s just one bedroom, but it`s our first reno, so we want to find a carpet that we can use as a...

QUOTE (C2Ventures @ Dec 11 2007, 02:07 AM) Just thought I would add my 2 cents as well. We currently own 4 units in GP and use Quality Prop Mgt based on a referral from a fellow REIN member. Last year when things were hot and places basically rented out with no effort and for top dollar, things...
