I`ll throw in my two cents; I too, have recently experienced a changeover in landlord liaison at Libertas…and although the timing makes me believe it is the same associate, my experience could not be more different. Dealing with the previous landlord liaison was DIABOLICAL….like pulling...

Garth Turner is a swear word to me. Anyone who does their best to keep an economy spiralling down - through shouting negative predictions as loud as possible (73% of Canadian GDP driven by the domestic spending)......so they can sell more books - should be put in stock in the town square. I...

Appreciate the advice guys.....however you`re preachin` to the choir here. I have bought 3 units in the past 9 months. Regardless.....must admit I`m still pretty interested in the mechanics of the market....particularly at the moment, with so much pent up demand from fence-sitters asking this...
