Tread very carefully, Randy, We had a pinhead for an accountant, who advised us to get a GST # and get the GST back on the purchase of our land. The purchase price was 172K for 40 acres west of Calgary, 10 years ago, so we got back about 12K I think. Now circumstances have changed, and we may...

I`ve had this renter in one of my properties for 3 months, this in another town so I can`t just show up and knock at the door. I aquired the property, and her as a renter, before I joined REIN. I checked her employment, and her then current landlord, and everything checked out 100%. Anyway...

Thanks for your input, Thomas. I really appreciate you taking the time to share your knowledge and expertise. So it sounds like more, smaller units are more profitable than less, larger ones. i suspected that, but wasn`t sure. I will do some more number crunching I will talk to the town. I...

Thanks for the info, I`m digging into the information right now. Very revealing, it is. I now see why said town hasn`t been getting accolades. 1/2 the provincial average for growth, and a decreasing number of people in the over 60K income bracket from 96 to 01. Possibly from the number of...

Hello folks, Forgive me if my inexperience and naivite show through on this, but I`m a REIN member of only a few weeks. I`ve read Real Estate Investing In Canada, but haven`t had a chance to plow through the mountain of information that came in the mail with REIN. I admit to doing this all in...
