QUOTE (dsenger @ Nov 22 2009, 06:50 PM) Does anyone know if the new HST in BC affects new homes, re sale homes or both? Thanks for your reply. I don`t believe they are any changes to lawyer fees--at least I think that is what Mark Warkentin said--I think they already charge both PST and GST so...

QUOTE (Trizzy @ Apr 11 2010, 10:01 AM) I will have to put a locked box on the thermostat and leave it on automatic, so they don`t play with it and run by bills up. Also, if the tenants leave, there is no utilites hydro being used. And just a neat peice of info. Southern Ontario had an amazingly...

QUOTE (Trizzy @ Apr 11 2010, 08:09 AM) The rents acquired justify the all inclusive status. It is cashflowing the way it is. I could add seperate meters, however then the rents are no longer justified, and I would likely lose the tenants already in place. Not to mention the bill for...

QUOTE (DineenJJ @ Nov 23 2009, 07:43 AM) Hi, I`m getting kind of confused.... I`ve sent out about 50 yellow letters to expired listings and out of 9 calls back so far, only 2 have left any information with PATlive. Most of the people refuse to leave information, hang up, or want me to call...

QUOTE (JohnSoucie @ Nov 2 2009, 02:14 PM) John, Keep in mind that an expired listing doesn`t give you a homeowner name, it only gives you an address. Unless you, or someone you employ, wants to try and cross reference the name with the address, they aren`t that incredibly helpful either. It...

Hello It appears easy to purchase list of names, addresses from list brokers when it comes to postal code areas. From what I understand, and according to Ron Legrand, they aren`t the best source for prospects. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to make a more defined/refined search for...

QUOTE (JohnSoucie @ Nov 2 2009, 11:00 AM) As far as lists go. In Ron`s CD`s he often makes comments that sending to Zip codes is the least effective list you can use. I have also been listening to some of the archived Tuesday Q&A call in shows from GOFFN. At one point, replying to a caller who...

I am pretty sure that RL mentioned to just buy the property "as is." What happens if we do that and then find out later that there is a serious deficiency with the house (perhaps this is discovered as I/you sell to a new buyer)? Can we still order an property inspection even though we are...

QUOTE (MKBridge @ Oct 28 2009, 03:06 PM) One list that may be useful is the tax sale addresses that are advertised in newpapers. I have found a few for the Okanagan and I am going to try a reverse lookup to get the names. These people may be a bit desperate even if they paid their taxes late...
