(closer to 33% in high CAP cities. lower than that in GTA) The more important number is your total 'income' = cash flow + property appreciation + principal reduction. I suggest learning this formula and how...

    Interesting opportunity in Saint John N.B

    Hi, Small question - the doc. you attached specifies 2014. Was it eventually not sold in 2014, or the new owner is just using the same form the previous seller he bought from used?

    Where do you deposit your coin-operated laundry coins?

    Hi, TD used to have coin machines in different branches. They discontinued this service a few weeks ago, which was Free as long as you had a TD account. Where do you deposit your coins now? (or where will you in case you too used to do it at TD) Thanks

    Buying Old or New property?

    Hi, They are not exactly 1 feet on average. If you want the sentence to be correct/more precise, maybe change the word 'one' to 'less than one meter': People have drowned in rivers less than one meter deep on average. PS. I think it is a pretty knows joke though.. in case it is important for you...

    Tenant wants to buy my home, good credit, no downpayment

    Hi, I understand your history with this property. The question was not why buy in BC but rather why sell in Edmonton if you can take out the same amount and buy in BC without selling? An answer I would understand better is the amount of time and effort your Edmonton property requires from you...

    Buying Opportunities???

    Hi, Please learn statistics and understand Calgary in the past year or 2 does not significantly change entire Canada's statistics in the past 10 or 50 years. Yes, some will always lose in RE. Or more precisely always will some. But most made money. Thanks
