My in-house property manager was just asking if there's a simpler way we can start managing calendar inputs so they tie to projects and provide a global view.

We started the group since we were looking for a meetup that met more frequently and that had more emphasis on getting to know everyone in the room and what they are working on & what their goals are.

Certainly there will be struggles over the next 12-18 months and possibly beyond as global oil and gas prices recover, however compared to some of Canada's bigger cities there are still a lot of properties here a a decent price and that generate positive cash flow.

From everything I've listened to it seems like there is a heavy emphasis on cash buyers, but it seems like that would limit the number of investors you could sell to.

In the neighborhood association I'm active in there is always a lot of emphasis when BCAD releases the annual taxes on disputing or hiring someone to dispute the increase.Hope this helps.

I think you are on the right track and what leads me to say that is the emphasis you placed on Property Management.

Or you always get the interior paint estimate close but exterior is 20% over what it could have been because more times than not there is some rotted trim that needs replaced and primed that couldn't be seen in advance.I put an overage percentage in my calculations but it is global.

Fortunately, things have worked out.Let me ask you this question, how many MF loans (5+ units) went into default during the Global Financial Crisis?

The reason the lower class properties appear (emphasis on appear) to cash flow better is because of the multiple levels of obsolescence you are dealing with.  

(The emphasis is on: "buy RIGHT")!
