haha, of course there is! privately you’re investing your money in property and managing it yourself.

Professionally, you’re a glorified sales assistant getting someone who wants to buy house A to buy it from the person who wants to sell house A. yes yes, I know there’s more to it than that but selling houses to people that wish to buy them and taking a hefty % cut classifies as “profiteering riffraff” as far as I am concerned!

Thing is some of the homes don't appear occupied (they arn't listed on the internet) so I'm not sure if some of the owners would rent out to subsidize their costs - if it is worth the hastle of them being lived in (by reasonable tenants) Also is there use for homes?

There are motels etc.. in the area but I'm just wondering if turning the home base into solar or wind collection (more so wind) or anything could actually bring in revenue - rather than just have the home sit there empty.

What?

Seriously. I watched The Bourne Identity last night and now I'm thinking of working in the Clandestine Services division of the CIA. Should be a cinch!

Which anyone can do, the difference between me and anyone else is simply the desire to achieve financial stability and independance being stronger than the desire to run around doing drugs, waving glowsticks and chasing other boys and girls.
I'm not the person who wakes up every morning at 6am regretting my choice to not spending my early 20's sniffing drugs off toilet seats at night clubs and instead, being the one having to work 12-15 hours a day to afford my first house.

Oh, no, no no... normally I am quite self depreciating here for the purposes of humour and fun, but I am an exceptional at sales PKC.

That's because Jason Bourne is so bad ass. Perfect recruiting tool for the CIA.

exactly, which is why i consider self-funded property tycoons to be a step above the dodgy sales people otherwise known as real estate agents.

oh, i have no doubt! But at the end of the day you’re still selling something to someone who came to you already wanting to buy it, more often than not

I think real estate is a bad gig for you, try selling scuba diving equipment or something

1. wtf.

quote:

third party broker to run properties for rental pending sale, and acting as a referal agent for private sellers.

Assuming Canadian property law isnt totally different from Australians, the agent of the buyer inspects and does all the necessary procedures before and during the contracts are signed.

2. You cant simply convert a residential property into a commercial property, I'd be fairly sure that you would have to do a good amount of PROPER paper work.

Do you actually have permission to lease the properties or are you just inviting them into empty houses (generic horror movie script)
