Hi, I would greatly appreciate all assistance as I`m in real confusion. This property is in Alberta. A tenant cheque bounced. Tried to contact him, all phones disconnected. Called at work to find out that he was terminated. Went to the house, found that the bedrooms have gone, but still the...

Rent the garage as a self-storage and set all you conditions loud and clear. Use a self-storage contract for your region.

Just wondering, when non-rein would be able to buy the new Top 10 towns in Alberta report? Thank you

I would add Nickle`s Daily Oil Bulletin http://www.dailyoilbulletin.com Focusing on Alberta/western Canada, it provides up to date information about Oil and Gas, including capital expenditure, drilling, Permits, etc. I find it to be a great source of data that I could not find it anywhere else...

Another angle you may want to look at it: The LOC would appear on your credit report, hence it will lower your credit score and may impact your ability to get other loans. I`m telling this from a practical experience as I had to switch from LOC to mortgage to get 75 points back. Good luck, Mike

Thank you for the advice. The tenant vacated the garage and contacted me to get her damage deposit. It is such a lesson to me to do my due deligence every time even in a garage rental.
