 Even a seasoned landlord can forget the basics and start sliding into home base with their properties and that's when you get tagged out. I'm WAY to nice with arrears and I've had some spectacularly successful collections it's also gone the other way. That's why I hire out collections now. It's not my forte. Some of the points are pretty basic you should KNOW exactly what your proprety will cashflow (or not) before you find it. That means all expenses. Otherwise what are you buying?  It's pretty solid advice because life is full of Murphy's Law moments....

We're constantly looking at property prices. We sometimes play a game were we look at the location, the interior photos and read the property details then try and guess the price. It's super fun but recently ends with lots of gasps of "That's insane!"It's a buyer's market in Edmonton. There will be pricing adjustments and you'll need to decide if you have to sell or if you need THAT price. Because your house will sit longer and cost you more if you don't reflect the price the slighty flooded market is willing to pay for your property. 02/24/2016

If you have some free time this weekend you could read the 160 pages of the 2015 Growth monitoring report and Edmonton Growth study released this week.  In short Edmonton is an economic leader and is growing city with a young demographic. Over the next 50 years the city is expected to double in population. "Alberta continues to lead the country in economic growth. Its economy has grown on average by over 4% per year over the last three years and is forecast to grow by 3% per year over the next three years. The Edmonton-Calgary corridor demonstrates this economic activity having generated 60% of Canada’s overall job growth for the year ending July 2014. The Edmonton Region plays an important role in the Alberta economy, given its proximity to the world’s third-largest oil reserve. Edmont... 08/25/2015

There are a lot of beautiful neighbourhoods listed. I have rentals in 4 of them and never have a problem renting them because they are hip and desireable areas. It depends what you are looking for, if you work in Fort Saskatchewan none of these would be great except maybe the highlands (which is also surrounded by some very interesting neighbourhoods) Some are well located in you bike or use transit but access to major routes would take longer. Ritchie is one of my favorite we lived there for a while. Such great neighbours, airport in 20 minutes and downtown in 10 minutes. It's transitioning quickly and what we bought our place for four years agos would get you a 2 bedroom tear down now.Every time I go out I try and think of a reason to go to Westmount to get a brownie from Dutchess Bak... 08/20/2015

I got the email newsletter from CREW today. First thing that caught my eye was "How to spot a bad property manager"the article spoke of what property managers were doing wrong but not really how to spot a bad one.  Well, I can tell you from experience how to select a good one.  1. Be a tenant - call one of their listings and see how they act and answer. See how the response time works how they book showings and even go to one.  Down the street from one of my rentals a property management company had a For Rent sign up for 3 months. It was a pretty hot rental market and no need for the sign to be up that long and the property vacant that long. It made me want to pull title and give the owner a heads up.  2. Ask other investors - straight from the horses mouth.  Todd and I posted a questi... 08/17/2015

What's happening in real estate markets outside of Toronto and Vancouver?  Edmonton "Unlike its sister city, Calgary, Edmonton’s housing market hasn’t felt quite the same pinch from falling oil prices. Sales rose 2.4 per cent in June and prices were up 2 per cent from a year earlier.Yet while home prices have so far avoided a crash, Edmonton has witnessed a different type of housing-market phenomenon this year: a boom in rental-apartment construction.

Spring would start like clockwork on the ‘official calendar day’ and not merge, but explode into summer a little shy of three months later. The Japanese have holidays (like we do) mixed in and out of the year; some reflective of the seasons, others of religion, royalty, birth and death. I find that Edmonton shares a burst of seasonal changes as well albeit some seasons do tend to drag on (yes, winter that is you). Albertans seize the summer!

If you haven't been downtown Edmonton in a while you should take a look. We counted more than 5 cranes working in the downtown core. The changes are exhilarating albeit frustrating for driving. The most spectacular is the new arena and the Ice District - here is an amusing video from Edmonton Journal about the name "Ice District" not quite sure about the Romulan comparison. If you think were you live is bad take a look at this JUMP (If your place is worse you need to move) Oil prices are falling and the NDP aren't going to make any Rae like mistakes in Alberta.  08/13/2015

That seems to be the order of the day. With our new NDP government here, we quake with worry at every exhale of impending tax increases. With the federal election looming in October, we hear talk of taxes.
