Ages ago on this forum I saw a post indicating that this would be an awesome rate (3.49%, 5 year fixed). I can`t find the post anymore to see exactly how long ago that was, but in today`s world is this still considered awesome, or is it more the norm? With the BoC holding the prime rate...

Just wondering what some of you seasoned landlords would do. We have an applicant (couple actually) for a property close to a college. Both of them will attend the college so no income & parents will pay the rent. It`s the first time the couple will be living together away from home, and...

We have this tenant that just doesn`t have his finances under control. Rent is always late, sometimes by more than 2 weeks. This month, he has paid only 25% of the rent. We have issued his 3rd, 10 day notice to pay up or move. Story this time is that it`s slower than usual at work...

I`m interested in signing up for a credit monitoring service. There are a few out there and just wondering if anyone uses them and which ones are recommended. A lot of personal information is requested on line. If the service isn`t legit, it is sure an easy way to get a lot of info on someone...

NHL Coalition [/size] Having decided that the Detroit Redwings technically won the 2008 Stanley Cup, the Pittsburgh Penguins, Philadelphia Flyers and Dallas Stars have formed a coalition demanding a three way ownership of the league title. Rational for their decision revolves around their...

I will admit it - I don`t have much of a political mind, however my thinking was that a win by the Conservatives would be good from a RE investing point of view for no other reason than a change in government would lead to more uncertainty and instability for awhile. Now I read in the Calgary...

I am new to investing and have thoroughly read both of Don Campbell`s books. I am also ready to get busy buying properties. My hold up is I can`t seem to find properties that meet the first filter. I live in Calgary and I`ve heard that there are cash flow properties here but that is so hard...
