Welcome and congrats on the upcoming wedding. 

You don’t have to spend too much in the painting process and you must choose the color combinations that go best with the theme of house.

(As in 4 hrs away) It would mean we would probably have to hire all maintance, (wed rather do it ourselves and save $) but we don't want to just wait around sitting on my capital, either.

They have loaned us money for real estate purchases in the past and they helped with our wedding costs.

I've mostly been an information gathering ninja here, even as of current, but after watching about 2 dozen or so podcasts, one of the reoccurring themes stated is to become one w/ the community n to mingle w/ an empty Heineken in hand (which I hadn't drank) that I will fill up w/ water later.  

One last thought to consider is if it is in a historic zone they can be very challenging to satisfy since they will want to keep the original themes of the era. 

That seems to be the theme of most the books I read and seminars I attended.

final call on upcoming Wed.

If anyone's looking for a meet up, there's one happening tomorrow night (Wed Feb 28) starting around 6:30 at the Best Western - Village Park Inn (1804 Crowchild Trail NW). https://www.meetup.com/Calgary-Real-Estate-Investi...

Everything is unique and you'd really have to take a magnifying glass to the envelope/letter to be able to tell it was printed with software.I also use NetStamps, print them out at home in bulk as needed, at the moment I'm going with the fall seasonal theme but will be using other stamps for different seasons and times of year.
