Man I thought I was getting shafted at 3.69% fixed, 3 years, in August 2020. Everyone else was in the low 1% or lower. We went fixed because there was no other option, but definitely a blessing in disguise.

You kinda did get shafted. That was a very high rate for 2020 and since you were only on a 3-year term, you didn't get much time to get a "win" on the increases of 2022/2023 either. But in the long run, won't really matter.

those garages are made for an illegal suite

This one's a few blocks from me. Builder gave no F's about anything outside the property line.

The first buyer did have a project car in there at one time, he had it on a dolly and would wheel it out to work on., but they sold the house a couple years later.

Badhobz 07-18-2023 11:14 AM

what the fuck.... who the hell would build like that?!?!?!

builder a buddy guy !?!?!!

Hondaracer 07-18-2023 11:58 AM

I don’t know how you can get away with those elevations for garages

I ran into one recently a pretty high end house 5+ mill on the west side if not closer to 10

The guy was building the house for himself and had a detached garage backing out onto a flat lane, but the garage slab was like 14” above the grade.. I took one look at it I’m like bro.. even with a car not considered a sports car etc. a Corolla ain’t making it up this.

These elevations should not be allowed at the permitting phase let alone approved by inspectors etc.

It’s such a steep grade most cars cannot get inside, it’s such a small garage a normal full sized pickup probably won’t fit

So what is this garage for then?

snowball 07-18-2023 12:22 PM

the inspectors don't give no shits, everyone is so concerned about quantity over quality right now there are absolutely no standards beyond pumping out as many shitty properties as they can get away with

Hondaracer 07-18-2023 12:33 PM

Even with that, I’m very surprised they would just allow buddy guy to basically create an entirely new grade there with a couple trucks of asphalt lol, like you can’t build somthing and just grade up to whatever you build lol

In Surrey there were a few times we actually had to jack hammer out both a garage slab and a driveway and create a cut in the driveway and lower the garage slab and it was wayyyyyyy better than this thing

Renting out to an international student, or hoarding all the fucking junk someone has collected.

I don't know what you guys are complaint about, 99% of the population does not drive a riced out slammed civic

Have you guys never went up a steep hill?

I would bet 95% of cars today can easily make it up and into that garage. Opening your doors once inside, that's another story, same with height clearance

Tapioca 07-18-2023 02:02 PM

Don't blame the cities for garage sizes - blame home buyers.

There's no incentive for developers to build the garage out to anything beyond the minimum size in the building code to accommodate larger vehicles, like pickup trucks.

It's not the slope, it's the too sudden changeover from the flat ground to the slope... and then the slope to the flat garage... you'd be surprised how little it takes for a car to get hung up.

Zero chance your Vette can get up there! I know my MR2 and Celica would both scrape if not get high centred!! And they're stock height.

As long as the transition grade is not more than 8%, it can technically pass inspectors.

You scared now? You said 95% of cars should make it. Not much risk you're taking on. :concentrate:

I forgot the name and number of the Dick sucking realtor… to my great shame. Or stupid tiny spy wife deleted it from my contacts. I’m pretty sure I did save her number under dick sucking realtor.

P.s why are we scraping up our beautiful rides again ?!? Logic seems to be weak on this one.

roastpuff 07-18-2023 03:12 PM

And this is why the Allroad is staying stock height muahaha

Should be coming up on a year in Oct, tenant pays rent, property manager deals with the rest.
Nothing out of the ordinary so far, i'm still waiting for a full year of income and expenses before I call it good or bad
