Greetings from Ottawa

[Plaidboy]

Hello everyone.
I just discovered this website and thought that I would have a go.  I have always been interested in the potential of buying property like this.  I just turned 37 and feel that I should atleast own something.  You know?  I rent downtown Ottawa but the costs associated with buying are so astronomical that I rent and frankly for me it's a good way to save some money and time and effort.  But would like to invest and land is always a good option.. so here I am.  Looking forward to learning more. 

Question - is anyone a member of the Ontario Tax Sales?  I was thinking about getting a Gold membership for a month but not sure if there is any value to it.  Any suggestions.

Again - glad to be here.

Cheers
Lee

Hello
I have a gold membership and it gives you some benefits like title search but they charge heavy for this. I made a search at the local registry office and it cost me 8 dollars and hey charge 90 dollars to 160 dollars. Seems allot!! but the info package that you can order for free is good and is available to gold members. It will give you assessed value of property. If you are not willing to drive and search the property at the registry office and spend the extra money then the gold membership is worth it.

Definately worth it... try it for a month and you will see its value in time and protection
