QUOTE (neill @ Oct 29 2009, 06:29 AM) Wow - this was a huge tip Kathi. All of a sudden our list for Airdrie went from 5600 names to 23xx (in a city of 40k !). Got our final list yesterday pm, and did a quick scan. There were a couple dozen that we had to delete again that had the last name as...

Hi Tony I`d also be grateful for a copy of your scripts. My e-mail is [email protected]. Thank you! I also appreciated your response to the RLG bootcamp about taking time to consolidate, understand, re-listen to, etc all the contents of the course. This is what we are doing - action bit by...

OK, here`s our final bit of information just in case it helps someone else: if you are looking at Edmonton, there is an extremely high chance you`ll have asbestos if you have vermiculite. It is certainly worth asking your inspector to look for this. It costs about $900 to get a professional...

Thanks for the feedback thus far - it seems a bit like "buyer beware". Any more views?

QUOTE (Nicola @ Sep 26 2009, 06:18 PM) Hi David, You probably read my previous post about this. The house we were looking at (and ready to buy) had vermiculite insulation -spotted by the inspector (make sure you get a good inspector who is a member of one of the inspection associations). We...

I am just putting this out as an informal poll on how many people get vermiculite tested for asbestos when buying a home. If your inspection comes up showing the attic has vermiculite insulation but is sealed, it likely will cost about $750 for a professional sampling to determine if there is...

Cool clip! You`re a natural.

Has anyone out there used land trusts for investing purposes in BC? All we can seem to find out about it suggest a different use - only conservation! Thank you.

Oops, sorry about the last post without any comments! I was just wondering how the Western Conference went, for those of us who couldn`t be there, and if there is anyone that can comment on the above post about "Canadianizing" Ron LeGrand`s material? Thanks.

Has anyone had any experience at using Ron LeGrand`s methods in BC, specifically transfer of title? Is this allowed/does this work in BC? Thanks.

Can someone say if this event is going to be available on CD if we can`t make it in person? Thanks

We have reached the stage of having some of our children in university. Does anyone have suggestions or comments about legitimately employing students for part of the summer in the field of real estate - ie. using them in your own real estate businesses helping you get organised better, and at...

Virtualbox is much easier to use than Parallels. And free. You can run Windows or other OS`s in a window on your mac and go back and forth between them. No need to reboot.

There are many good areas - the best thing is obviously to spend some time here and see what appeals to you. Some say to avoid the area around the Driftwood Mall in Courtenay. Qualicum is lovely but may be a harder exit strategy - areas out of the towns often make great homes but you will have a...

Well done on choosing Quickstart - a great way to go. We invest in both the Comox Valley and in Edmonton. We started off in East Courtenay as we were familiar with the area and the "knew" people who would make up our support team. We now invest in Alberta and found it wasn`t that hard to build a...
