I never took Wade`s course, however I did speak with the guy once and he definitely knows his stuff.
Foreclosures are not what they seem in Alberta... I spent many thousands of dollars learning the system and how it works. I also made a decent amount of money, but, in my opinion, it wasn`t worth the effort and the expense. You MIGHT end up with a great deal but you don`t get to pick your property and they ALL need work.
There are deals out there... but nearly every good lead I chased down ended up refinancing or finding a better price from one of the companies in the yellow pages. Often at the last minute after I had put a lot of effort into putting a deal together. There are lots of lenders that finance on equity alone.
Also, if you think tenants in arrears can be tough to deal with wait until you are at a kitchen table with someone about to lose their house...
Just my $0.02
