Thanks Barry. As it turned out, the property was really pretty but priced at market so it didn`t work out. The neighbourhood did have homes that sold for as much as $200k more than this one, but other factors would make it difficult with this property. For others who posted on a similar topic...

I am visiting a seller in the hope of getting a option for a "pretty house" in a great neighbourhood. I plan to Round Robin/Cash Sale the property within a short time. I have 2 questions. 1. When I do this option, do I have to also fill out an Agreement for Sale or does this step come when I...

Through my 20+ years as a graphic designer, I think it is best to use yellowletter.com. They have the economy of scale in their favor. For a printer to do the yellow letter where you live, it should be printed both sides and to the edge of the paper to be authentic. Many quick print places can...

I am using Barry`s office from now on. They don`t need to be in Calgary for the Ritchie Mill office to help you - they help people from other provinces - and who better than them to help with the quick turn legal help. This way, I won`t need to educate a lawyer. Yes, I am going with them...

QUOTE (Dan_Eisenhauer @ Nov 27 2008, 04:46 PM) A basic plan would be to set a market value of the ppty today. Then build in an appreciation factor that each of you can live with, say 4%. The price would be escalated at 4% each year the buying tenant does not exercise the option. Next you need...

QUOTE (TerryF @ Aug 27 2009, 01:14 PM) We bank everything with TD Canada Trust. So far, I`ve put security deposits we hold into a separate savings account, but it`s not a trust account. According to TD, there is no trust account available for private individuals, only for businesses. It...

You may have already done this, but if not, I would give a 24 hour notice to enter to make sure they are not "cooking" drugs in the home. I had a similar situation last year and I left the eviction form and a letter stating my reasons for the eviction, taped to the front door of the home...

QUOTE (TerryKruse @ Jun 18 2009, 07:51 AM) We have a $25k penalty for one of our mortgages. Not really standard. It made me aware that I really should check the payout penalty on all subsequent mortgages. Cheers, Terry The mortgage is with one of the smaller banks and was our first...

We just re-amortized the mortgage on a property and the payment went down from $2787 per month to $1600 per month... WOW! I know there are dangers in having this low of a payment, but we will be intelligent with this and use the extra money to pay down a higher interest rate LOC. That way we...

There was a topic: Vacant Furnished Units in Edmonton Help request, Any suggestions for furnished rentals? This was just a few days ago. The home will cost more to furnish, the furniture will get wear and tear, there is more management involved and it takes a longer time to get good tenants...

I renovate my rentals on possession and I prefer a vacancy rather than have someone smoking in my suite. Before I changed my application, I was installing curtains upstairs when I smelled marijuana from the downstairs suite. I was able to confront the tenant on this and she is no longer in the...

I have now put this notice on my rental application: Please note that we have zero tolerance for smoking cigarettes or drugs on the premises. If you smoke please find other accommodation. I haven`t tried it out yet but I feel smokers would at least have had a warning before they move in...

I would think a house in Evergreen is fairly new and probably in pretty good shape. I would check out www.Rentfaster.com and www.Rentspot.com for comparable rents. I would think a whole house would rent for at least $1700 plus utilities. Cheers, Terry

I had a company come in to reface the cupboards in a duplex rental property and they look brand new for a fraction of the price. They ordered new fronts and sprayed them with a melamine paint in one unit and sprayed the existing cupboards in the other unit as they were in better shape. I then...

I can remember taking a real estate investment course before I joined REIN. They recommended Rent to Owns as a means of starting investing. They get the home under contract and then rent it to someone else. Not necessarily a scam but you would want to make sure you know who is moving into the...
