It's a pretty small world... We just came back from a holiday in Honduras and met a nurse that has invested a substantial amount of her retirement funds on land close to where we were staying. This lady was sold this parcel site unseen from a Fast Track seminar in Saskatoon. Darren Weeks...

thank you, this is no longer available. Terry

I took the Ron Legrand workshop in October of 2009 as well as other related workshops in the previous years. Prior to Ron Legrand I had a tough time getting started. I lacked the confidence to go past the advertising stage and complete a deal. My fear always came down to the legal aspects and...

I made $10,000 because of the decals on my husband Mark`s vehicle. A person in our neighbourhood saw his truck at the Safeway. The couple had talked about possibly selling some time in the future but thought this was a "sign" when they saw the vehicle. I also got other calls that I know came...

The initial cost is up to $1500 and there are admin fees of $40 per month. This really becomes a lease for the panels. I am looking at putting panels on my home and our furnished rental (we pay utilities). Terry

I would happily pay a buyer agent as long as the didn`t ask send me to simply pick from the mls and "we`ll go see them" - my experience as a rookie. A good buyers agent is gold and can help you to distinguish an average property from a great one... As the saying goes, you get what you pay for...

First of all, I have bookmarked the Calgary site listing the Grow Ops. Thank you, I never knew this site existed. Second, yes you can buy a remediated grow op, but when it comes time to resell this home you will run into problems from your buyer`s bank and it will be hard to sell. There are...

Congratulations Gerry, I grew up in Winnipeg and moved from there in `86. I have often wondered about the Winnipeg market and I am glad that you have done well. Cheers, Terry

QUOTE (hannadang @ May 25 2010, 11:31 AM) Congratulations Terry! Just one question for you, was the seller still living in the home and showed the the home for you? Hanna Yes she is still in the home and showed it. The buyers did call me for a second showing though. The funny thing is that...

We are in the process of selling a property we had an option on. The seller saw Mark`s vehicle (we have I BUY HOUSES on both vehicles) in a Safeway parking lot, had though about selling and thought this was a sign. She was in our neighbourhood. I got an option on the property and advertised...

Congratulations Debbie on at trying the sale and learning from it. The Round Robin process is fairly new to our area so you really do have to have a lower starting price. You also have to have the right property. This process is ideal if you can sell the home under market value. Something I...

I had forgotten about this one.. A few years ago I was in an office space, sharing the entry with some kind of salesperson - I don`t remember what his business was. One day he offered me double my money on an investment of $1500. He told me I would get his laptop if he didn`t pay the money...

I have a lead from an Olds, Alberta seller, who needs to sell 2 sides of a duplex - quickly. He is very motivated and is willing to work with an investor. He also has a single family home for sale in Olds. Is there anyone who has properties in that area who would like more information? Please...

QUOTE (MichelSelim @ Apr 9 2010, 08:18 AM) actually, they are related to each other. Main floor tenant refered his brother to rent the basement from me; however they are on separate leases that end at different times. Thanks for the advice. You could ask the one party to extend their lease to...

This is more a success story with an investment that went bad. I should mention that I am not complaining in this post. I made the mistake of not understanding a clause in a mortgage document and letting it go. We gave the bank $30k (interest differential) when we sold the home last year. This...

I like it. Very clean, easy to read. Great picture Barry. Cheers, Terry

QUOTE (DavidMacDonald @ Feb 24 2010, 01:28 PM) Hey Antay, Congrats on the Option! Why don`t you 7-day sale it? The upfront marketing costs aren`t too bad, and judging by your margin, you could make a nice profit! If you did the sale, and found out that you didn`t get what you wanted for...

I have a homeowner in Airdrie looking to sell. If you invest or do Rent to Owns in Airdrie it might be a good fit for you. Please pm me and I will give you the details. Cheers, Terry

QUOTE (ZanderRobertson @ Jan 8 2010, 02:46 PM) Hi Terry, I think we`re going to make the same switch, but I just wanted to clarify. So you kept your Patlive account and now callers have the option of giving their information to patlive or leaving a message with you? Is that correct? Also, does...

QUOTE (TerryKruse @ Jan 2 2010, 09:56 AM) These are some great solutions to create a winning campaign. I think I am going to tweak my service to a voice mail type service going into 2010. I have 300 letters with the Pat Live local phone number in them. I will try voice mail through Pat for...
