Yes, I did that and the responses have been very positive. Not every person was a REIN member, but a few were. We are still investigating, and we won`t be too quick to sign another contract with a management company. Two bad ones are enough for a long time.

We would love to hear some teaching on both Vendor Take Backs and Rent to Own. As new REIN members, those are two areas that we have yet to delve into.

Yes, well, we have learned a few hard lessons through all of this. The two families that we met with on the weekend, that both filled out application forms and who both brought their children to see the place and were so excited to move in. . . .contacted the property management company on...

QUOTE (DonCampbell @ Nov 7 2007, 10:54 AM) This is a consistant theme in areas that grow quickly, yet the companies serving the area don`t keep up with demand. I have seen many a member take over the renting of their suites in these types of situation (despite the distance) and then worked a...

Does anyone use Exit Realty as your property management company in Grande Prairie? The owner told me that he has REIN members as clients. We`re still looking for a good company up there. Thanks, Dianne

QUOTE (SamEfford @ Nov 6 2007, 12:08 PM) I am looking for a someone to show properties and screen tenants as well. If you find someone, Sam, please let me know.

Okay everyone, this story just gets better and better. The couple came on Friday night and gave us the deposit for the first side and I posted my amazing story on here Saturday morning. The funny thing about Friday night was that we had left Edmonton without so much as an application form. No...

Just want to give everyone an update. Wayne and I are in Grande Prairie. We took the advice of several of you and drove up on Friday. We weren`t feeling too confident and weren`t sure what we were going to do when we arrived. On the way, I read from The Law of Attraction, and we wrote out...

Thanks, Ryan. That`s an interesting idea. We will think about it.

Many thanks to all of you who took time to answer my plea for help. We raised our rent back to $1800 and have submitted some ads using the Solid Oak Marketing method. We are hopeful that they will produce results. Our property management company is considering canceling our contract, and we...

We could use some help. We are new REIN members who bought a duplex in Grande Prairie in July. We took possession mid-August and have yet to find renters. We are on our second property manager. The first one didn`t even put signs in the windows. Both companies tell us that the market is dead...
