Sure Álvaro. I would be happy to meet with you again! Please give us a shout when you're in the area. Tom, by the way, if you speak French, here's another market analysis resource from a company I use a lot for Quebec real estate insights...

Hi Tom, You can start by the CMHC reports: https://www03.cmhc-schl.gc.ca/hmiportal/en/#Publication/24/2/Quebec Note that you can select publications from a different province or zoom in to a city/neigborhood using the interactive map. You may also use: RBC Economics Housing reports...

That's about right. Speaking with my accountant, he mentioned that the refi money was used to buy a personal residence and that is not tax deductible (indirectly it was used to add income property inventory though). The only money I can deduct interest from is the one I used to getting property1...

This is my situation: I moved from my principal residence and kept it as a rental property (property1). In order to do this I re-financed an income property (property2) to get the down-payment for my new principal residence (property3). Is any interest deductible for property2 loan used for...

Alvaro, Thanks for the input. That's exactly what I want to do with my kids and I'm glad to know you are going through this. I may axk ask you some questions along the way and I appreciate your feedback!

Hello everyone, Michael provided me with his excel spreadsheet sometime ago. Thanks Michael! I found a simple, easy to use property analyser on the web and I use it as a reference for relevant parameters to look for depending on the aquisition strategy. http://epicanalyzer.com/ It...

Except for Mr Beyer who expressed his political opinion and facts about why not to invest in Quebec, which was by no means the feedback I was looking for in this thread, I really appreciate your feedback about why join REIN from Montreal! I just got news of an end-of-year REIN membership sale...

Thank you all for your feedback! I guess a "mail in" membership will help me * catch up with economic fundamentals thoughout Canada, * take advantage of included and reduced-price home-study training * get answers about REI general questions while I won't get specific contact...
