Trent Hills

[Dave2]

Dave, my time will soon open up for some "collection" issues. I will be in touch and I expect payment.

While Trent Hills did not turn out the way individual members of this forum like; all in all not a bad potential opportunt(ies).

Less then 2 business days before tax sale bids were due, 3 reasonable properties with collectively over $500,000 in assessed value still available.   That's not bad for property 1.5 hours from Toronto and less when the 407 is extended.  

From the posts it is obvious some experienced members closely looked at them.  Yes two properties redeemed but that is part of the business.  

My lack of participation was mainly caused by my appreciation of the likely bid prices which was correct and which was above I was prepared to pay on this one.  Why is not in the public domain.

It also resulted from the need to attend to sell issues related to an earlier tax sale property purchase part of the proceeds of which I got a new roof for my house as part of the deal which caused some need to keep the lawyers happy.  

Given other board members expectations it looks like I will have to set up a trust fund to help save Ontario's breweries.  Never thought I would end up help paying for "beer front" property.     But that is what happens when you are up against the A team.  

The fact they were involved to the end is proof of what I earlier said.  Reasonable potential but we have to wait until next time

My only reqret sometimes is the shyness of some members.   Which is a shame because they don't know what they are missing especially as I understand Netpred throws a good party for which my ownly regret is I will end up paying for it.    

What I really have to do is get the pros like Netpred Interested in other areas so they stay out of my hair. The key is there is often good ones coming up.  How about some nice lakefront not shallow river beachfront In Wine (sorry they don't make beer) country.  You might be able to still do swimmiing there in early October  Note Photo by Ontario Tax Sales.

Dave:

You flatter me, but without reason. I wish, but I am no pro. I just have a big mouth. I wish that I was in your league but I am not. You are the one that has taught me a thing or two. As has Frank, PFM and g2020 among others.

My only chance to win one is when you decide to pass.

Now as for parties, I am a pro. Getting a bit long in the tooth but I can still take care of business. At the rate you are going, you will supply both the beer  and the place (perhaps a Georgian Bay Island?).

We will talk soon I am sure.

Arguing with you is like dealing with the law of unintended consequences.  The cartoon explains my perspective.  All I will have to do is look at my beer bill to remind me.
