Hi I have a really good contractor who does work for me. He's on jobs at the moment and he's my "secret weapon" so don't want to post publicly. Let me know what time frame you need someone and feel free to message me privately. I'm a investor REALTOR with niche here in the area and longtime...

Hey Simona - I'm just north of Toronto (in Barrie area) but have been investor focused for many years. We are a small niche and network so let me know if you are still looking, happy to refer someone to you. Know exactly what you need in terms of Investor REALTOR. Much continued success!

HI! Many times love to participate. Sometimes people post and as you know, Provincially things are different and therefore our response has to be customized to that. Is it possible technically to have one section "Alberta/West Coast" and/or "Ontario/East Coast? Or something to that effect? Just...

Hi Ned I am an investor, REALTOR & property property manager in Barrie. I work exclusively in this area and have for 15 years. Let me know how I may be of assistance as there are areas to be aware of and important not just buy anywhere. Contact me directly 705-727-2300 and can follow or check...

Reliance is horrible and based on an industry pro I know - the products provided are overpriced for the quality of product. When people "rent" the "buy out" contracts are ridiculous. Get a qualified HVAC company and see if you can buy at a discount rate. Not sure where you are located but get...

Though not a requirement - realize that once you provide anything you are liable for the upkeep, maintenance and/or replacement. Providing one is in everyone's best interest and most particular your tenants safety and that of your investment property. However, I suggest - they can be fairly...

Hi...I was just curious if this was run past an Ontario Paralegal or Lawyer? It's my understanding that any default of utilities is not covered in the LTB and would be small claims (so how could $ be recoverable otherwise). Also, with this Schedule, is it being suggested that N5 - Notice to...

Awww :) How's the investing going?

I never thought I would ever read "Bradford overpriced". LOL I remember we'd drive through it and Village Inn only with bad rap. Boy, have things changed! ;)

Hey Vanessa! I'm glad I clicked on this post. The title wasn't clear on what your goals were and sorry to see there aren't any responses. As a women, wife, mother, business owner and investor myself - it can definitely be tough. I would say that the best thing you did was reach out. Try...

Well Clint, you've come a long way yourself since this post in February 2012. What have you learned so far and what can you share? Totally agree about Julie and Dave - they are the real deal.

I specialize in Barrie and would disagree with BARRIE having a "disproportionate" number of tenants. This can be anywhere and in all honesty if Landlords do their diligence correctly and filter, then you'd have success. It also depends on what kind of tenant profile/clientele so, no offense...

Hi Lloyd Well, I would say that you're off to a good start by reading the series and coming here to network/get advice. I can see that you're in Ontario and not sure where you wanted to invest. Hopefully in one of the top towns/Cities mentioned of course! Get yourself familiar with the areas...

Hi there I am an Ontario Licensed REALTOR and property manager. I have customized mine over the year but also purchased some from Paralegal April Stewart of Landlord Legal. I suggest getting your Landlord Package from her. Scroll down to the bottom of her page and it's about $80.00 - includes...

I do not recommend creating a bad reputation for yourself and "making their lives miserable to the point of vacating" and the additional stress this causes to you as well. Agreement to Increase above the Guideline Since just purchasing, N12 - Notice of Termination for Landlord or...

Hey Clint Sorry to hear about the challenges. Now we know the importance of always doing our diligence! What is the MLS sales history on this property and can it be grandfathered in or anything like that so you can keep the present use?
