    Fellow investors, I need your help ( I’m willing to bribe you for it).

    It's really more of a market survey. What I have in mind are tools that would be free for use by investors and would make money through other avenues. I know this sounds a bit vague, but I don't want to bias the answers I get by giving more detail. Cheers, Alison

    Where to buy a house in Victoria

    I forgot to answer your other question. Other neighbourhoods you might like: Cadboro Bay, Ten Mile Point and Queenswood. All are in Saanich. Ten Mile Point and Queenswood are typically quite pricey but both are really beautiful areas. Cadboro Bay has a good community feel and has some more...

    Where to buy a house in Victoria

    Hi, I've lived in Victoria for the past 16 years. All three neighbourhoods you mentioned are good ones and I think they will hold long term values. I currently live in Oak Bay, work in James Bay and I used to live in Fairfield. As a place to live, I would prefer Fairfield or Oak Bay. James...

    How to Register 1st property

    I haven`t sent mine in yet either. The 17-3 form available in the Download section asks for a list of all your properties. Does this mean that you have to list them all each time you purchase one or are you just looking for updates (newly purchased properties)? Thanks, Alison

    Mountains, Rivers and C-Sections

    Congratulations Wade & Tammy, he looks perfect! Just as Garth said, it takes me back. We had ups & downs similar to yours but our 16 & 13 year old girls are the joy of our lives. Soak up every minute of these early days, it`s amazing how quickly the pass by. And remember, "Sleep when Baby...

    What did 17 days of Games mean to you

    I feel we were transformed as a nation. While we`ve always been proud of Canada, the Olympics give us an amazing opportunity to celebrate it and show the world. Growing up, I learned to sing "O Canada" quietly and seriously. But I will never sing it that way again. From now on, I will sing it...

    `AFS` vs. `Lease to Own` as an entrance strategy

    Tony, please correct me if I`m wrong. In BC, if you purchase through an AFS, I believe the title transfers to you before it reaches the end buyer and therefore you get stuck with the provincial land transfer tax. If you lease option to control the property and then (sub) lease option it to the...

    Yellow Letter phone call took a different turn

    And on a yellow letter call I followed up on, although he was a "suspect" as a seller (wanted retail price), it turns out he`s also looking for junkers to rehab. I have happily added him to my Buyers List. Alison

    Renting fully furnished properties

    I have no experience with renting furnished units, however I`ve frequently thought that doing so in the Ottawa-Gatineau area would be a good idea. My day job is with the federal government, and the number of 6 month/12 month/2 year temporary assignments available in Ottawa is substantial. The...
