You could try to rent it furnished but I am not sure if a basement suite is appropriate. It is good that the area is closer to downtown and has good transportation corridors nearby. My experience from the last 5 years is that a furnished home tenant is usually someone who has just moved to...

I have used Janet Voth of Designing Spacez in the past. I was very pleased as she was dealing with a very difficult layout. I would use her again. She wasn't cheap but she was priced competitively. Her number is 403-542-7555 or [email protected] Cheers, Terry

It is a really good time to invest in Alberta. I have a vacancy at the end of the month in a furnished Calgary home, have raised the rent $175 a month and showed it to 3 different people yesterday. Good luck with your investing. Terry

Is that 12 cents plus delivery? The lion might not come quietly... I think it was funny. Cheers, Terry

I have had 3 Irish tenants in my furnished rental for the past 6 months. Best tenants ever! Cheers, Terry

It is really good when your tenant appreciates you. I have had this happen lately and it makes a huge difference. Congratulations. Cheers, Terry

I have a tenant who wants to pay his rent 2 weeks early because he is just staying in the country for a few months and he wants to keep track of his money. He has had this "habit" since he moved in and has always payed at least a few days early. He has also been taking great care of the home...

It is definitely possible to increase a home's value past the dollar amount spent (at least inCalgary), especially if the home hasn't been updated in a while. Terry

I am not sure that the banks would go for the refinancing over such a short time, especially in Canada. They might be willing to go for the first refinancing but would be suspicious of the new appraisal. Canadian banks would be worried about bank fraud. Most banks would look at the price she...

The site renders mostly okay in Safari but I don't know what that red button is because the logout button is in front of it. Terry

... or fortunately. I like paying low interest rates. Cheers, Terry

Good video. The problem is that it didn't seem like the protestors were actually listening. Unfortunately most of the people don't really know why they are protesting or few could give a usable solution to their grievances. It seems to me that they simply want a Robin Hood society where the...

I have always thought the Alberta Government should invest some of their oil revenue in helping renewable energy industries become more feasable. This could help create jobs and Alberta could continue to be an energy leader, which ever way the wind blows. This would also help Alberta's...

I think we should keep the like or dislike or scoring buttons off the forum. The same 4 cats keep the forum going and they are contributing answers rather than asking for help. You can usually respect their opinions as they have the experience to back their talk. My real estate has...

Congratulations on your accomplishment. Way to go! Cheers, Terry

I think Harper became that way because parliment made him that way. It seemed that everytime he tried to do something, the opposition parties got in the way. I watched the debate and all the other parties did was attack him. The questions asked by the public were really good, why did they...

I did really well on the sale (up in the posts a bit) - more like breaking even but that was excellent when I had a 30k mortgage prepayment penalty. I sold in the "downturn" or at a bad time but it was a really great home. It was basically sold because someone saw my Kijijji ad for an...

My biggest mistake was thinking that tenants wouldn't mind paying more for a much larger space. The reality is that a 2 or 3 bedroom in a certain area rents for a certain price and it is difficult to get additional rent (not impossible though). We got our rent when things were going great...

Me too. Don sure does a lot of tweeting. Terry
