I`m having one heck of a time finding a Plumber in Calgary that doesn`t charge $100-$400 just for the visit alone. Does ANYONE know of a good plumber that quotes by the job and doesn`t charge just to come out? And one that is reasonably priced and honest? I`d rather a guy who works for...

Being the initiator of this topic (who`d`ve thunk it was going to get the response it did!), I thought I`d let everyone know what the results have been for me since the initial posting. Being given notice on November 3 from the previous tenants, I put out my ads on-line and posted a "For Rent"...

Hello, Fellow REIN Members. I didn`t see a section where I might be able to inform Calgary REIN members that I am looking for work, so I took a chance and posted here.Below is a brief resume of my experience and what I am seeking. I am open to discussing ideas. I look forward to your call...

I guess I just have to look at the rental websites (i.e. Rent Faster) and talk to potential renters to learn that rental prices are decreasing. Just want to hear it from my fellow members to see if they are decreasing their rents as well and if so, by how much (i.e are you using a percentage...

Hello All. A tenant of mine just gave notice yesterday, November 3, and informed me they`d be moving out "sometime" on December 1. Although their notice was only two days late, would you handle the situation differently? And what day and time does the tenant actually have to be out of the...

Hello, All. I am looking for a copy of Mortgage Verification Statement so that when this couple accepts my offer tonight which says that I may assume their mortgage, I can get them to sign this document so that I can get their lender to release their mortgage info to me. I was told there is a...

Hello, All. I have a friend who is wanting me to rent her attached villa and manage it. It is quite new (approx. 3 yrs old) and is decorated very nicely with modern furniture. I am wondering if anyone has experience renting out this type of property and what they can tell me about it. 1. Are...

Hello, All. I will be acquiring a revenue property at the end of the month so am looking for the names and numbers of quality tradespeople you have used in Calgary. I am looking for everyone: painters, flooring layers, plumbers, bathroom/kitchen installers, electricians, landscapers...

Thanks so much, Kevin. Another question: with respect to the monthly cash-flow, is that number calculated exactly like a revenue property where one includes the costs of mortgage, taxes, vacancy rate, maintenance, etc? And whatever is left over is the cash-flow, or is there another "fee"...

Hi All. I get how Rent-To-Own works for the person/renter who wants to buy the property, but how does it work for ME and my investors? Do I have to qualify for and purchase the house first, having to place a down payment of 20% or more on a house that might cost $400,000? Or do I make the...
