Mike, my advice would be to get the house unbder "OPTION". Once you have done that you can "test the waters" by performing some local (low budget) marketing. If you are able to find somebody to "flip" or "Lease To Own" the house to, you can then exercise your Option to Purchase. The beauty...

Jim, great feedback for the forum members!I am glad to see that you are drilling down with respect to your marketing. I had only just communicated the importance of doing this with another REIN member yesterday. To cut a long story short, I said..."Know Your Numbers". If you track your...

Jess, You will not find any card stock that is manufactured in the exact colour you want. All you need to do is tell your printer what you are looking for and they will provide you with (ink) samples. Once you select your colour they will order the ink. The printing is a "two step" process...

Carrie, thanks for sharing your story with everyone. As I always say, for everyhthing bad that happens, there is always something good that comes our of it. In your case, you have proven to yourself (and others) that these deals "really" do exist. You just have to CRANK up your "BUYING"...

Vic, You can obtain a copy of the by-laws by visiting the "City of Calgary" website. You should be able to navigate to the "by-law" section from there. QUOTE (VicChung @ Nov 16 2009, 05:41 PM) Does anyone know what the bylaws are for Calgary? I was informed that my signs would be removed by...

The name "BANDIT" is just another name for the corrugated plastic (corroplast) signs. They are referred to as "BANDIT" signs, because they can attract a lot of "negative" attention (in the form of fines) from local by-law officers. The biggest reason for this; a lot of people that utilize them...

Dineen, there is no question the city of Edmonton has definitely clamped down on this form of marketing. There were a lot of companies that were abusing the by-laws, so the city started to play "hard ball" (increased the amount of fines) with the companies that were constantly abusing the...

Thanks for your feedback Gerhard! I still remember the very first time I met you and your brother. It was probably 5 or 6 years ago and you were still competing at the international level. Since that time you have come a long way with your real estate investing career! I look forward to...

Monte, a great question! Thanks for jumping in on this thread. The best way I can answer your question is to say... All of the Above!Please do not take my answer the WRONG way, as I am NOT trying to be cute! The fact is, I utilize MANY different marketing strategies, and as a result I am...

Liz, I am glad to hear that you enjoy my posts. Thank You! I have learned a lot, and as a result, I really do enjoy sharing my (real estate investing) "real life" experiences with others. Given that I like to follow the correct protocol on this forum I will otherwise refrain from "promoting"...

Great feedback Barry! Thanks for jumping in on this thread. I have been working with Torie very closely over the past few days, and as a result of the education he has received, I do believe that he now has a really good handle on the situation. The really neat thing about this particular deal...

Sophie, I am not sure if you are aware, but we just opened a stand alone office in Kamloops. You will start to see our "BUYING" (We Buy Houses) and our "SELLING" (Lease To Own) marketing machines on bus benches in and around town within the next week or two. Have you attended a Kamloops...

Thanks for raising this concern Jim! Don, would you please respond? QUOTE (JimWhitelaw @ Nov 10 2009, 11:27 AM) You know what? I`m questioning whether this "donpatrick" is a legit forum member. Looks like some kind of spammer / scammer / imposter to me. 1) New forum member. 2) Not a REIN...
