Has anyone spotted the possible little gem?

  Well, first off, you have to deal with Hydro One. I owe you a beer of your choice, so pm me when you're going to be anywhere near Dave2's favourite Irish pub, and I will buy at least one. (I'm as short of funds as Dave2 claims to be). I've recently been told that a lot of generating capacity has been taken up by installers who've obtained contracts, and are now running around madly trying to find/fund rooftops, etc. Can anyone comment on the veracity of this tale?

  Cheers to all.

The term normally used is "run of the river" generation and a number of major corporations in BC are looking for these gems. However, when you looked at the reference plan you would have noticed that you got deeded access to the river at the waterfall, and also deeded access to the peaceful area of the river upstream of the waterfall. I understand that the local canoe club used to be allowed to use this access making it a gem for a second reason. The third thing that made it a gem was the stone mill itself which had about 3,500 square feet renovated for a high end residence perched out with spectacular views of the waterfall and Elora Gorge. Alas, gem or no gem it got paid off just before the sale. Finding gems that get redeemed seems to be trumped by the Dave2 strategy of searching for Trent Hills junk that no one would want to redeem - at least he is making a bit of money and the rest of us are just getting frustrated when all the good stuff gets redeemed.🐊

For every gem there seems to be an equal and opposite dud. This weeks dud was a condo in Welland. It had CRA liens in excess of the value of the property and the successful bidder failed to pay for a title search - he found out about the liens at the opening and tried to withdraw his tender, but they ruled that he was too late. Sad but true. 🐊

So sad.  I've seen it happen more than once....fail to close and lose your 20% deposit, close and lose your shirt.  Do your homework!

For yourself and other short of funds board members here are 5 Dave 2 games that are free.  Specially created for a rainy day.

For those that are mad at me you can always play the one with the baseball bat.     Personally I like the one where I try to escape from my castle.  Here's another one I play when I steal the next tax sale from this guy.

Of course as Frank is the ultimate tax sale player his hero must be James Bond.  Couch potatoes can watch  my alter ego try to take him down in James Bond 24

Did Dave2 just miss a gem overlooking his another gem in Thessalon?

[g2020]

I don't think so! Dave2 was the high bidder, so we can wish him well and hope that it is not redeemed before the deed is issued.🐊
