Lol that chateaux will cost a small fortune to be inhabitable again, let alone actually nice to live in, and then another small fortune every year to maintain it.

So uh... RS group buy? Just need to round up about 120 RS ballers to buy this place.

We could time-share this thing. Everybody gets it for 3 days of the year??

Or we could subdivide this place 120 ways and everybody gets a patch of 83 sqft to stand on. That's 9ft by 9ft!!

I wouldn't personally sink $60 million into one house, especially in Vancouver. Instead, I would spread it around and buy properties around the world.

Also $200k a year in taxes ain't bad on $60m that's 0.003% vs your tear down at $2m is already paying like $9000 which works out to be 0.004%.

If you can afford this house you can probably buy her for a night

I’m sure the person buying this doesn’t have to worry about that problem

Isn't it assumed that the owner of this property has real estate all around the world and likely has a derivative contract for a colony on mars?

Buying a $60M house for a billionaire is like me buying a $60k car. It's kind of nice, but not impressive.

Renewal is up in < 60 days, total housing costs will be close to $3K/month for a 20 year old 1BR in Van. If I rent my place, I can net $6K/year pre-tax. Equity can net around $20-24K/year average index gains.

A few of my friends are going full-equity and renting cheaper places. We all plan to upgrade to duplex/TH ($5-7K/mo) in the next 3-5 years with future partner. So there's no incentive to go from 1BR to 2/3BR.

I'm thinking about doing the same so I can be more mobile, try living in new areas and potentially new cities.

Anyone else liquidate their only PR for a short period of time? Everyone is saying no but math makes sense to me.

Yes, it does make sense from a math perspective only. However, have you considered the qualitative factors?

Do stonks only go up? Do you think you will not get priced out when you're ready to buy again? I am unsure of your relationship status, however do you foresee yourself purchasing of such magnitude with someone you've only been with for a couple of years?

If I was a single guy looking at my financial options, your train of thought is a good one. However, I think you need to look at the qualitative stuff to make a right decision for you.
