4 million dollars is really nothing to bring into a country. there are loopholes to everything, or you just don't get caught doing it, you can take a look at the drug market in the states for example. millions of kilos make there way into the states illegally and billions of dollars leave illegally. how is it possible? it just does |

the problem is, if he is $2M into a project, he could sell for $3M or equally the market could crash and he's sitting on $1M, losing $1M. when you go to work everyday, there's no chance of it costing you money (well, opportunity cost, perhaps). but beyond that, you're point is bang on, the idea of the capital gains exemption is that houses are meant to be homes, not investments. he's clearly skirting the spirit of this tax break, and one could definitely argue that something should be done about it. i do not know the specifics of that tax law, but have a rough knowledge that there's a limit to how many homes in a certain time period you can claim as a principal residence. |
vancouver's property market is basically the wild west of capitalism. 2008 financial crisis was caused by the same shenanigans and greed. i couldn't careless tbh, in fact welcome so i pay less property tax, if home prices drop 30+% in this city to bring it to a more normal level and drive out all the spectators. to point of about this builder did not violate any laws. Hitler did not break any international laws by starting WWII. the Nuremberg trial was to advance the international law making an hostile invasion of another country illegal; however, Hitler did not break any law so maybe he shouldn't have committed suicide. most of the time laws are lagging behind societal and economic events. |

organized crime love the Vancouver Housing market too...i wonder how many of these realtors get fronted 2 million dollars to cash 3.1 million on flipping houses than take a cut of 100 grand,launder the 3 million back of "Clean" money back to international Countries. ...Bet you the government doesn't think of these things cause the Tax is Already covering them |

Did Vancouver developers just get tossed into the same group as Hitler? |

These builders with multiple homes aren't claiming residence there, they re buying properties wit holdings companies and then just paying the associated Business taxes no? |

you can only use primary residence 1 per year per household (spouse and children under 18) they'll still have to pay taxes under a holding company... eventually? ;) |
Could be wrong but can they not defer the tax to the purchaser once the property is listed and sold? I know that's a common practice for condos when a developer "buys" out abunch of units, he then defers the taxes onto the buyer when the property is sold. (Had this almost happen to me when I bought late last year) :fuckthatshit: |

I know builders who have 3+ homes going, lines of credits against their principle home maxed out, no cash on hand, don't pay contractors so they have liens against their properties. They basically wait for the 1st home to sell so they can pay the bills. It's actually ridiculous to think some people have leveraged themselves to the point of no return if the RE market starts to tank. |

though it may not be entirely the same, a similar level of complacency from buyers, to lenders, and even the government is blatantly apparent (to me, at least). |

Literally just an extra sentence (clause) in the contract. |

Interesting news about an provincial investigation into "shadow flipping". Province agrees to shadow-flipping investigation by BC Real Estate Council - NEWS 1130 VANCOUVER (NEWS 1130) – The “assignment clause” is being blamed for our out-of-control housing market. It allows a contract to pass hands between sellers before the closing date. Even though it’s not illegal, questions have been raised about the ethics of it. Now the province agrees that so-called shadow-flipping has become enough of an issue to spur an investigation by the BC Real Estate Council. Some have suggested stripping out certain language from contracts, but is the solution even that complex? “Many commentators have assumed that somehow there is special wording in the contract that allows assignment. The reality is that standard residential contract is silent. For any contract, including a real estate contract, it can be assigned, unless there is prohibition,” says Ron Usher, a lawyer with the Society of Notaries Public of British Columbia. Meaning you need to ad, not subtract. He says there are already existing clauses that work well for that and can easily be inserted in a contract, giving control over assignability to the seller. “The only way to get control over assignability is to make sure the contract does in fact mention assignments. Typically you’ll want a clause very similar to what every developer does that gives the seller control over what happens to the contract after it’s signed,” says Usher. The clauses have been around for quite a while but until now, have never been much of an issue for houses. “In a normal market, this doesn’t come up very often in the residential world but we can certainly look at what the developer has done for decades,” says Usher. He adds, there is literature on the subject and your realtor should be able to discuss the issue with you. |
to spur an investigation by the BC Real Estate Council lol Crooks investigating crooks imo |
What are peoples thoughts about buying a Pre-Sale from a Developer who's company name is no where to be found? Specifically I'm talking about Avalonna Home LTD who's selling the pre-sale townhome by Killarney. Beside the company name, nothing exists online. No website, nothing. Obviously with no history you the trust factor of workmanship etc are unknown. Are there concerns of them taking all your money and running? What are some reasons why a developer basically wants to remain hidden like that? |
i did a quick google search on that company name and found the following: Find a Builder http://www.buzzbuzzhome.com/db/avalonna_homes_ltd both sites point to a home in van.west as the location of the business with a contact "Daljit Dhami". sounds like they're a single detached home builder maybe growing and doing wood frame condos. if that's the case i don't think they're trying to stay hidden, they're just that small and don't even have a company website. another option could be that this is an umbrella company to protect the owner/developer's assets since it's named after the complex and the farm it's built on. i've seen even big developers do that and create a company and just name it literally the address of the building it's on in case things go south they're financially protected. |
