A great read and intuitively my innards concur. So will you invest accordingly? Thanks for taking the time to respond to my query. Regards, Dave.

Gwasser, I just returned from reading your posted outlook on 2011...and thought to myself "man, these guys are good and even better is that they don't lose themselves in the seriousness of it all". I appreciate the balance of your comments regarding my query. I have a few years before the...

Mr. Beyer, I like that you get straight to the point. The numbers seem straight forward enough even for an extreme novice such as myself (though I have to look up terms and find my self memorizing the acronyms and their meanings to make sense of the financial verbiage). As mentioned, I feel...

Asanchez I like your thinking. Family is critical to me and my most precious asset. Thanks for your response. Regards, Dave

Thank you Chris...that is encouraging. If you were giving advice, would you say, make the employment change and utilize the additional cash...or you make enough now, and if managed wisely, the goal can be reached? Thanks again. Regards, Dave.

2 questions: Realistically, how long would it take to replace an earned income of 140,000.00 annually...with passive income from real estate investments, if one invested aggressively, keeping in mind my wife and I are just starting out? Secondly, I can increase my annual income ( to the...

Thank you for your reply Heather...I think both of insights are true. I just had a colleague (who knows I am entering into the business of investing in Real Estate), approach me about purchasing a 4 plex from he and his business partner (it has Long term Tenants, and would be a healthy positive...

Thank you for the reply Russell it is encouraging. I look forward to attending some events (I think Calgary will be the closest REIN event location)...and to becoming a bonafide member to make even better use of the forum. The learning curve is steep but very welcomed...this is just the...

you are right with the percentage...and the numbers are still very strong. With the learning institution on the west side (UofL) and on the south side (Lethbridge College) it allows for diverse investment opportunities. I Will follow your example and see how it works out. Again thanks for the...

Thanks for the response Kris...by taking the first step, is evidence we will take as many steps as needed to reach success. Best of luck in your endeavors... Regards, Dave.

Maybe it is my question style...I was pretty disappointed when I saw no one responded. However, I will push ahead...I am enjoying the ACRE course and look forward to attending some events throughout the year? The learning curve is pretty steep...but very enjoyable. Dave.

I live in Lethbridge Alberta and am a novice in the business of investing in Real Estate? I just downloaded the cities municipal development plan that looks ahead to 2050, and they foresee a population increase of nearly double the present population statistics (70000 to 130000). The College and...
