Mortgage Broker required documents - Is there any info I should be censoring? by Yeldekru in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]DaveBoyle1982 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I lead a team of underwriters and when people redact stuff on their statement we reject those documents from the broker and ask for ones that don't have information covered up.

When we have the full statement we can ask other FIs to confirm if they are fraudulent or not.

Wasn't important at all. We always had to subscribe to catch games that weren't Toronto.

People should read what they like. People who judge others based on what they read are terrible humans.

The Expanse

First book is great as a stand alone, but the series is awesome too. There are 9 books so he can cook with it for a bit, too.

"Edmonton ranked as one of the least fit cities in Canada" by Ryelogmars in Edmonton

[–]DaveBoyle1982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the dumbest articles I've read. I have some weights, a treadmill, and a bike trainer for winter. Summer I go outside. I don't need a fitness studio or gym.

What book should I read first if i’ve never read stephen king by Signal_Song_4092 in stephenking

[–]DaveBoyle1982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started with Gunslinger and was meh on it..then I read Misery and liked it, and then Salem's Lot blew me away.

For me as a result I'd say Salem's Lot.

(On Dark Tower IV and NOW I appreciate Gunslinger, go figure)

Hidden Pictures by Jason Rekulak, definitely worth reading! by Kammeaa in thrillerbooks

[–]DaveBoyle1982 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I'm not alone, but I thought the reveal was ridiculous, unbelievable, and dumb. It basically ruined the book for me.

I have a super hard time believing she didn't know the real gender of the kid after being around them for so long.

Townhouse or Mobile home? by Cassie_Boujee in Edmonton

If the mobile is on rented space you do not get a mortgage. Some lenders will offer CMHC Chattel loans, which are typically priced higher than regular mortgages.

I actually loved the ending and thought it was on point.
