Ed, Is there something different as far as mortgages up your way compared to how we do things in the States? I ask because I seem to recall that you could only take out a mortgage for a fairly short period (5 years?) when I had a friend and business associate who was being relocated to Canada. He was responsible for the western portion of Canada, and believe it or not, was seriously considering buying a home in Canmore, AB, until something came up regarding mortgages and a significant risk/expense. This was in the early 90s, so it may have been the market that was scaring him. Ultimately, the company relocated him to Bellingham, WA, which isn't in the Canadian Rockies, but a nice place none the less. Dan

Actually, before I bought this house, I used to laugh, and laugh loudly, at the people that lived up here that bought more house than they could afford and couldn't even buy furniture. I've been to many a get together at a home that was using rented for the week furniture. Now I am one, and somewhere a dumb punk is laughing at me.
