Some grew up in real estate, some worked in construction which translated quite well to rehabbing, others came from a finance background and can feel comfortable working the numbers.I'd say hedge your bets and find a way to add/supplement what your currently doing with real estate.

But it has appreciated about 8% or so,  and that's why i was thinking about the heloc to wipe out the remaining 6% and save the 4 years of PMI left to pay.I'll translate for Brent.

Here, if materials are to be translated into a language other than one of Canada's official languages, the application would/could be require to pay for the translation.  

Landlord says translation is $500 and won't pay it and denies application.  

Needless to say I did not get the job and I believe because employers want to know how "hungry" you are literally, which translates to "How desperate are you for this job?" 

My first impressions is that the demand up there doesn't seem too high which translates in the lower prices and lower margins.  

I understand the differences in lifestyle, but how does that specifically translate to screening criteria?

I HATE translating Legalese in contracts!!!!!!

I'd say something that would make it more attractive to a family would be school districts, these would drive up costs, but might not translate to much higher rent. 

I don't know what that means, but I'll translate it to, "Cuppa tea?"
