Currently there are 7 active Duplex properties available for purchase in area 4a, Winnipeg, MB.  4a consists of the North End and Point Douglas. Out of those 7 properties I would like to talk about one in particular, which I currently have listed.  108-110 Lorne Ave.  The six comparable properties that are currently active on the market today range between 1562-2050 square feet, while 108-110 Lorne Avenue offers a grand total of 2647 completely renovated and remodelled square footage.  More BANG for your dollar right there!!!  You can not only offer the largest suites to prospective tenants out of the comparable properties, but each suite is completely independent with their own hot water tanks, meters and furnaces as well!!  

108-110 Lorne Avenue offers (in each suite) 3 bedrooms, 1 LARGE bathroom, an open concept main living area with adjoining eat-in kitchen and main floor laundry. There is no shortage of storage space throughout these suites as each room has larger then normal closets with organizers and the back entrance offers a great sized area for any additional storage needs. There is ample space for rear parking with a parking pad big enough to fit two vehicles+, while still offering a nice amount of green space to enjoy in the warmer months.  Each suite has two access doors, front and back. A great home for a family. 

Walking score on this property is 80 out of 100, meaning most errands can be accomplished on foot and is a great convenience to yourself or your tenants. 

It is also currently VACANT.  Therefore, a private showing can be done with what works best for YOUR schedule, and your future occupants can also be selected by you and move in immediately.

***BONUS***

Renovations and Remodelling of this property were done professionally by S & M Demo.  Newer flooring, windows, insulation, shingles, paint, kitchens, bathrooms, electrical, hi-eff. furnaces, hot water tanks and more.  DO nothing but move in or rent out!!!

$$$ The vendor states that BEFORE renovations, each suite collected between $900-$950/month in rent.  $$$

Also, comparing to the other current active properties in the area, 108-110 Lorne Ave. is the only Duplex that is offered in the neighbourhood of Point Douglas, while the others are all in the North End.   If you are not familiar with Point Douglas, here is a little history of the area, courtesy of Royal LePage Canada.  After all, who doesn't enjoy a short history lesson here and there?!

North Point Douglas is a small neighbourhood located in the city of Winnipeg, Canada.North Point Douglas comprises the northern portion of a peninsula of the Red River. Its boundaries are Main Street (west), Redwood Avenue (north), the Red River (east), and the Canadian Pacific Railway mainline (south), which bisects the peninsula. The southern portion of the peninsula is the neighbourhood of South Point Douglas (which is also considered part of Downtown Winnipeg.) Together, these two neighbourhoods are known simply known as "Point Douglas". In 2001, North Point Douglas had a population of 2,260.North Point Douglas is one of the Winnipeg's oldest neighbourhoods. Today, North Point Douglas boasts two of Winnipeg's oldest houses - Barber House and Ross House Museum. It is also considered part of Winnipeg's fabled North End.The eastern point of the neighbourhood was a traditional gathering place for Aboriginal tribes for ceremonial rites (while The Forks nearby was traditionally used for trading purposes). This is believed to have occurred prior to European contact, and continued until urbanization in the 1870s.In 1812, this first group of Selkirk Settlers arrived in Point Douglas and began raising wheat crops on the point and along the Red River, becoming the first agrarian colony west of the Great Lakes.

NEW TO INVESTING IN REVENUE PROPERTY?? Read on.

Investment properties are homes you buy to generate revenue. The important thing to keep in mind is that when you acquire an investment property, you become a landlord and that comes with responsibilities. You’ll need to familiarize yourself with the landlord-tenant act in your province, price your rent according to the market values, draft rental agreements, screen potential candidates and more.   See below for a link to the Residential Tenancies Branch or call me today with any questions you may have.

Attention everyone looking to buy a home in the Landmark area!!!!!

If you are not familiar with Landmark, MB it is quite a lovely community just a short 20 minute drive South of Winnipeg.  I have spent a lot of time in Landmark this past year, helping clients either sell or buy in the area, and I am still pleasantly content with what I see when I am there.  A quick drive through the community will present you with well manicured and kept homes, children playing outside in their yards or at a park, riding their bikes down the sidewalks, families out walking or neighbours chatting in their driveways.  Everyone that you run into greets you with a hello, a smile, or a wave.  To me, it is a bright community that believes in healthy lifestyles, happiness and kindness and is perfect for any family.

Landmark is far enough away from Winnipeg that it offers you peace from the hustle and bustle of the City and the joys of small town living while still being close enough to commute back and forth from work or to enjoy everything the big City offers.  You could have the best of both worlds! Landmark also offers all necessary amenities right in town. Gas, Groceries, Churchs, Schools and so much more!

Great Moving Tips to Make Moving Your Home Easier

Who can't use some moving tips when they're packing up their whole life for a new home? If you have experienced the moving process, packing all your families belongings and moving them to your new home, you may already know the ups and downs.  I, myself, have gone through the whole process about six times since leaving my parent's home when I was 19.  I know I could have used some help making the move easier and smoother.  Below are some great tips, from About.com to help get your life, and your possessions organized for a peaceful and exciting move.

1.  Make a list.

Write everything down! You'll thank yourself later.  Before you pack even one box, create a simple record keeping system.  Create a computer-printed list of numbers with a  space to write the contents.  Or have a spiral-bound notebook for the job.  You'll place a number on EVERY box you pack and list the contents on your list.  Don't put the list down unless it's in a place you'll call Packing Central.  This is where you'll find your labels, marking pens, box tape, and other supplies.  When describing the box contents, be specific--"A-D files" is better then "files", and "Tulip dishes" rather then "misc. kitchen".

2.  Have plenty of supplies

You will need LOTS of boxes. Probably more boxes than you think, and having enough boxes will make your life easier! (If you buy boxes from a moving company, you can always return unused boxes for a refund. If you got them for free from the grocery store, just recycle any leftovers).  Have about 10 boxes set aside to use for last minute items on moving day, such as bedding, clothing, and cleaning supplies.  You'll need strong plastic packing tape to close up the boxes securely.  Use unprinted newsprint (newspaper can stain your items) or packing paper or bubble wrap to wrap and cushion household goods. Again, you'll need a  lot more supplies than you think, so get extra so the packing can go smoothly.  Return any unused supplies after the truck in packed.
