His number one hit song "Eve of Destruction" focused on the chaos surrounding the Vietnam war , the draft, Nuclear weapons, civil rights, and communism. It was so controversial, some radio stations and some countries banned the song from the airwaves. It jumped to the the top of billboard magazine in 1965, bumping the Beatles "Help" out of the number one spot.

Tales from the TrenchesShould a Buyer Accept Title Insurance in Lieu of a Real Property Report and Compliance?Podcast Episode 129: “Home-buyer’s Dilemma.”
Seems like I’m always finding examples to write about regarding real property reports (RPR) and how they fit into a real estate transaction in Alberta. Land surveys, as RPRs are also known, should be simpler than they are. The standard AREA/MLS contract says that the seller will provide an RPR showing current improvements on the property along with written evidence of municipal compliance or non-conformance. Pretty straightforward, right?
Regrettably, no. There are an endless number of circumstances and questions surrounding provision of that required RPR.

Damaging floods are on the rise, whether as sewer backups, swollen rivers and lakes, rising ocean levels, or overland flooding.

Across Canada, there is an ongoing discussion about the lack of affordable housing.

Some Canadians are completely priced out of the housing market—especially in the Great Toronto Area and the Lower Mainland of British Columbia.

Tales from the TrenchesInheriting Property Isn’t as Simple as it SeemsPodcast Episode 117: “Estates Are Tricky!“
Real estate can cause all kinds of problems when a family member passes away. First, it can take a long time before the will is executed and the inheritor is actually in control of the property. Second, the person who inherits the property also inherits the financial responsibility (mortgage, taxes, etc.), which they end up responsible for even before they own the real estate! This Tale is about what happened when someone inherited a piece of property and almost went into foreclosure with it.

The notion of doing or accomplishing your own Due Diligence is what allows you to make a buying decision. Will you buy or not buy?

Tales from the TrenchesDisappearing Tenants and Vanishing BuyersPodcast Episode 98:
“Don’t Wait, It Only Gets Worse;
Discharge That Caveat.“
The first part of this Tale is about an Alberta landlord with tenant problems. The renter usually paid on-time, but then the rent started coming late. The tenant’s girlfriend left him, and when our landlord went to check on the property it appeared to have been taken over by a biker gang! Eventually the property appeared to be abandoned, but the landlord was afraid to go back. Moral of the story, nip problems in the bud before they grow to become out of contr...2017-05-0405 min
Tales from the TrenchesHow to Avoid Mortgage FraudPodcast Episode 97:
“Mortgage Fraud.“
The simplest way to avoid committing mortgage fraud is to fully disclose everything about a deal to your lender. If they are satisfied, then you’re probably okay. But what happens if someone else is defrauding you? In Tales from the Trenches, you usually hear second-hand accounts of the trials, tribulations, and successes of Canadian real estate investors. In this Tale, you’ll hear it from the “horse’s mouth.” Special guest Valden Palm tells us how he narrowly avoided getting sucked into a mortgage scam. An unscrupulous guy in Edmonton was buying houses, doing...2017-04-2707 min
Tales from the TrenchesInterest Rates on RRSP MortgagesPodcast Episode 96:
“RRSP Mortgages.“
In Canada, it is possible to use money held in a Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) to fund mortgages. While this strategy can yield a nice steady return on investment, there are rules in place that can make it a bit tricky to get into. One of those rules is that the lender (i.e., the person with the RRSP) must use a third party trustee to administer the mortgage. This Tale is about dealing with a couple of different trustees and their policies on interest rates. RRSP mortgages must legally be “commercially reason...2017-04-0603 minTales from the TrenchesDue Diligence FailsPodcast Episode 95:
“A Couple on Due Diligence“
I talk a lot about due diligence because it is one of the most important aspects of achieving success with real estate. This is a two-part Tale, showing a couple different examples of problems to look out for when doing one’s due diligence. The first example is about what happened when someone bought a property that was scheduled for renovation, but didn’t look into the plans. The buyer thought everything was taken care of—until things went wrong with the contractor. The second example is about someone who bought a b...2017-03-3006 min
Tales from the TrenchesRemoving Conditions on Purchase ContractPodcast Episode 94:
“Removing Conditions—Should I or Shouldn’t I?“
Conditions on a real estate purchase contract should only be removed once the due diligence is complete. But what if the conditions are sort of met, but not completely? Should you still remove conditions if the property seems good, the numbers appear to work, and due diligence is more-or-less done? In this Tale, our investor removed conditions even though they only had verbal assurances about rent and utilities, rather than the written tenant information that was supposed to be part of the deal. As you can probably guess, t...2017-03-0105 minTales from the TrenchesProperty Inspections, Reports, and PermitsPodcast Episode 93:
“Inspection Reports & Multi-family Diligence.”
Under Alberta’s Residential Tenancies Act, an inspection report must be made whenever a tenant moves into, or out of, a rental property. But what happens if you buy a property and can’t get the in/out report? Similarly, building permits for multi-family dwellings specify their maximum number of units. What happens if you buy a building that has illegal suites? This episode of Tales from the Trenches explains the legal issues of both inspection reports and occupancy permits in Alberta.

Our first Tale shows one reason why a real estate deal can close late. Even when investors have good relationships with their buyers, I say hold onto the keys to the property until everything is finalized. That’s a “key” to motivating your buyer to hurry up!

Tales from the TrenchesWhen to Remove Conditions on a Purchase ContractPodcast Episode 90:
“Diligence Pays Off.”
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: when you’re buying a property, never remove conditions on the purchase contract until you’ve done due diligence. A real estate lawyer like me can protect your interests and help you negotiate a better deal, but I can only work with the documents and evidence available. In this Tale, our investor was working on buying a multifamily rental property. Unfortunately, there were many discrepancies with the contents of units as well as with the estoppel certificates (aka rental confirmations forms). Good...2017-01-1300 min
