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...

thank you, this is no longer available. Terry

We are in the process of selling a property we had an option on. The seller saw Mark`s vehicle (we have I BUY HOUSES on both vehicles) in a Safeway parking lot, had though about selling and thought this was a sign. She was in our neighbourhood. I got an option on the property and advertised...

I have been getting mostly hang-ups when people call Pat Live after receiving my yellow letters. This is usually silence when the call center person is asking questions. I know there are many reasons for this, but I am wondering if some of the callers are hanging up because they get a Southern...

We held a Round Robin Home Auction over the weekend. I had an option on a really pretty renovated home in a great Calgary neighbourhood. This option was only 8 days from the weekend open house. I made the sale this soon as I didn`t want to get into December. Maybe Grey Cup weekend wasn`t the...

Hello, We are flying in to attend the coming BC ACRE event. How do members usually travel from the airport? It seems that Coquitlam is quite a distance. Do you rent a car or do you taxi? Is there a shuttle? Thanks in advance. Terry

I am looking for someone to spend a couple of hours with me going over my Quickbooks files . I would prefer someone who will work with me, rather than someone who will take over our bookkeeping. Thank you in advance, Cheers, Terry

I decided that this requires a new topic from: Drug dealer in my rental. I have read a few posts about this but I am still not sure on the procedure. In the Alberta Residential Tenant Act, I can evict a tenant who does something illegal on the premises. They also say: He or she must give the...

This issue has two parts to it. We received a threatening letter this morning taped to our personal house door. The letter tells us that our rental home is inhabited by drug dealers and if we don`t evict them right away (both the upper and lower suite) that the letter writers will be forced...

I am looking for someone to excavate around a foundation, install weeping tile (if not there all ready), repair and seal the existing foundation. We have discovered that the property we bought in February has an addition with that looks like the foundation is pressure treated wood with a...

I know this question has been asked before (one of the people mentioned before specialized in plumbing and he`s hired). Does anyone know of a good handiman in the Calgary area. I get possession of a house Oct 19th and wish for someone to replace the lower level cupboards and countertop. I...

Does anyone know what happened to Stratacon, www.nocostsubmetering.com? I have phoned the number from ALBERTAREIN.com and tried the website but it seems that they don`t esist. If you know an inexpensive electrician in Calgary that could help with dividing the electrical between upstairs and...
