Good to know. Thanks for all your information. It`s much appreciated. QUOTE (CaesarPua @ Dec 7 2009, 04:14 PM) Mark knows his stuff and can be quite intimidating if the vendor tries to mess with you. On one of my deals, the vendor did not fulfill one important condition, and Mark stood his...

Does that mean that it takes 2 to 3 months to close? Or just that you don`t see the documents for 2 to 3 months, and the closing still takes the normal amount of time? For our investing goals (commercial real estate), Mark would align with them quite well (we`ll probably need to deal with the...

Thank you to both Ramon and Mark. We`ve decided to talk to Mark Dudzic. The good thing about Mark is that he`s also the president of the committee of adjustments for the City of Hamilton (if you`re doing something that`s not kosher with the neighbors however, I guess that`s not a good thing.)...

I`m wondering if anyone can recommend a good residential real estate lawyer for income producing property in the Hamilton area? Also, because we need to get one quick to be able to put in an offer on a property, before we lose it, I`m wondering if anyone`s familiar with Arrell Law firm, and...

QUOTE (InvestagainInc @ May 4 2009, 09:52 AM) You can raise the rate, and they have first right of refusal since you have made signifigant upgrades to the property. There is an entire section on this in the RTA. Check here. as I believe that it is in this section. Are you using a PM in...

I'm guessing you're referring to the nationalization of the banking system and the nationalization of the car companies by Obama? The lower living standards has been happening stateside for quite some time, however. Try taking a visit to Indianapolis some time. It seems like a third world...

I don`t even think it`s so much the conservatives. There`s a good chance Harper was just going to let the CAW and GM/Chrysler hang themselves, but the Liberals threatened to hang them out to dry if they didn`t do something. What I would rather see is a Volkswagen plant in Canada. We had to...

Does that mean that they are entitled to move back in at their original rental rate? If so, I don`t have a problem with that. It`s not the tenant I have a problem with...it`s the income of the building; I`m just trying to think of ways to increase the income of the property and at the same...

No, it doesn`t fit my situation. However, your link gives me a whole slew of other reasons to evict the tenant, many of which are applicable. I`m looking to purchase apartment buildings and do significant renovations to the units and the building in general, but I am wanting to have at least...

Everyone seems to be describing property management as a nightmare in Ontario. However, I`d like to cut through all the hype and find out exactly what reasons I can use to evict an undesirable tenant. What are the legal reasons I can use to evict a tenant from an income producing property...

Actually, if you take a closer look and click on the `States` tab, you`ll find in pretty much all large metropolitan cities in that list of `largest` metro areas the prices are dropping the most. In the smaller cities such as Rochester, the prices are dropping the least, or in some cases going...

REIN doesn`t teach this as far as I know. My wife and I have learned how to do it, and it has a very steep learning curve, compared to residential. I would highly suggest Scott Scheel`s Commercial Property Academy for that. You can do a search on the Internet for it. It`s an American-style...

I'm also in. I'm a young 39, and my wife's a young 35. We both just moved to Hamilton area so that we could invest in commercial property in Brantford and Hamilton. We've lived the last fifteen years in Vancouver, but I grew up in Haldimand County. After having attended a couple of Scott...
