Throw up some walls for a 4x7 bedroom in that weird dead space and now you have a 4 bed 2 bath to fit 8 people.  |

That weird wall is there for the plumbing, which is weird to begin with. Someone did a really poor job of designing the underlying systems of the house.

Also, man, refreshing to see even as recent as 2010 the layouts were much more reasonable...

Who cares about the rental suite kitchen when you'll have droves of people begging to rent it anyways?
Sarcasm, but also not sarcasm.

to be honest, this isnt even remotely considered cluttered for an old-school Guangdong house. I'm pretty sure they've already cleaned it up in order to get it to this state
I've seen a lot worse... but if I was the owner, id be pretty choked this guy said my house is cluttered and even put it in the ad with some 3D mess removal just to emphasize how bad it is. Trolololol realtor

When it comes time to clean it out I'm not sure that my brother and I can/will clean it out versus just hiring someone to come and empty the whole thing out and we cross our fingers that nothing too important gets thrown out. I think it'd take 2 people at least 120 hours each to empty it.

The most expensive one: https://www.zealty.ca/mls-R2889464/8...UE-Burnaby-BC/ $2.588 with 3000sf
Not a lot of recent solds of this type but the ones that have sold suggest that there are buyers at close to these kinds of prices which is kinda nuts when I look at what a detached goes for in Burnaby - it's almost splitting hairs are those prices.

In East Van there are 27 houses under $2m that are less than 40 years old and in Burnaby there are 8.
If I raise the budget to $2.5m it's 68 houses in East Van and 31 in Burnaby.
The diff in mortgage payment from a $1.7m duplex and a $2.5m house is around $4k/month and anything pushing 30-40 years is going to need work - figure $50-200k of updates in the next 5 years.
