I paid 1k for my inspector last year. Utterly useless this time around.

Back in 2008 We used a guy named TED out of east van. He was already in his 60s back in 2008 so I’m pretty sure he retired now. He was great. Went into the crawl space, went into the attic. Did a very thorough report on the old rancher house and found us over 80k worth of improvements required.

That spooked the seller and they gave us a 50k discount.

Of course we did absolutely none of his recommendations and lived in that house for 17 years. Big whoop. We cheap. The damn thing didn’t collapse and those lead / copper pipes didn’t make duhhh dumber me think. Knot and tube wiring didn’t blow up or catch fire

i lived in toronto downtown and it had 51 floors, there's 6 elevators... how many did you expect? 8?
Yeah at times it does suck. but 6 is more than plenty if it's working well.

As to parking.. that's why i had living in apartment after groceries / costco run. I quikcly bought this. Wife told me no, i told her to kick rocks cause she's not the one lugging groceries...
happiest investment ever.

It's only assessed at $3.3 and wouldn't you take that much and get 6000sq and hide in white rock

The only thing king ed and Fraser has is its west of main, personally I don’t get it

We have some friends who’ve lived in the area for 30+ years and one day last summer I was going over there for dinner and had an hour or so to burn so I just walked the neighborhood. There are more derelict, unkept properties on those blocks than almost anywhere else I’ve seen in Vancouver. You’ll have a new build next to a house with 3 foot tall grass and a tarp on the roof. It’s really weird
