I have talked to a few colleagues and legal advice about this and in my neck of the woods it is a consensus that we should not use it. We sign it by pen and then scan documents. Maybe we are old fashioned or something but it was an understanding among my colleagues.

I think it usually comes down to "intent". Were your intentions on this trip for it to be related or were your intentions to go on vacation and just write it off. If you can justify your "intent" you should be able to write it off. But of course, seek legal advice on this.

Thanks for all the great info. I am still looking into this. I need to find out more about zoning and so on though. And more importantly I have to weigh my dollars. :)

I've never thought about it like that. That is great advice, Charles. (being genuine, not sarcastic)

How many of you re-negotiate after a home inspection. Assuming there is something wrong with the furnace, air conditioner, little water damage or so on. What does everyone do? Drop the deal or get compensated in money?

I'm actually from Toronto too. Where abouts are these lofts located? Do you have any more info on them? This really interests me.

You said you lived in a Loft that someone had owned? How many units were there and did he rent out the whole building?

DOes anyone where where I can get more info on loft conversions? Im going to hit the book store now to see if they have anything useful.

I have been juggling the idea for a while now. Im not too concerned about making a profit because IF it is possible I would live there for a few years. The longer I live there the more likely I have a chance of leaving a profit... I just dont know what is involved with changing the zoning and so on...

Has anyone tried converting buildings to Lofts? In my area, it all the big builders/companies that are doing the conversions, but I want to try it with a commercial/industrial space. I would like to do the conversion to live in and eventually sell it. But should I put my dreams to sleep?
