Wondering if people have an opinion on using a notary vs a lawyer for finishing a deal on a purchase i.e. property transfer etc. It's a simple townhouse purchase, nothing complicated. Lawyers typically are a little more expensive but is there actually a benefit with paying say $1500 for a lawyer vs $1000 for a notary?
On that note, any recommendations?

When I bought my house that required a mortgage I had to use an approved notary/lawyer from a list Westminster Savings gave me and the cost for their notary was a lot more. I think in most cases just find one that's been around for long enough so that they should be competent.

We used a notary recommended to us by our mortgage broker. He handled everything and we barely had to communicate, picked up our cheques and signed a few papers and it was done. I think the cost was about 6/700

+1 for Notary.
I'd only use a lawyer if you have some sort of complicated title arrangements or issues.

The CBC has been running stories about the real estate and rental crunch in Toronto. It sounds eerily familiar to the discussion on this side of the country for the last 2-3 years.
Toronto has always been seen as the place to go to where you could make more money and lower your living costs. Now that seems to be no longer the case.
If Toronto is no longer worth moving to, where are the young people in this town going to move to? Winnipeg? Montreal?

A buddy of mine just bought a duplex in Toronto after feeling the heat of the market there and pressure to make a move (was formerly in a smaller loft style appartment) paid 860 for a 45x120 lot and half duplex approx 1700sq ft..

In a small town like it's all about the outdoors. Buy a some ATV's for the summer and some sleds for the winter. You could also act out your favorite scenes from Rambo.

My bro (RIP) used to work in Hope and lived in Yale. He said it was awesome because he would hop on his mtn bike and be able to ride some of the coolest trails he had ever experienced. But it was lonely AF when you're a sober, young white guy. The natives didn't care for him, and that's a bad thing when the place is full of natives. Quote:

If you can make your own fun, it's an awesome place to be. Aside from the cold winters that roll through the canyon, and complete lack of anything to do outside of agriculture. Quote:

I was just speaking to a coworker today. She has a small old condo she rents out downtown. A developer offered to pay out all units at $1500 sq/f. This blew my mind. I guess the building is 10 stories, and obviously the developer has plans to build quite a bit higher. But my god! They clearly have no doubt where the market is going.

On a similar note I posted a while back we were completing our 1br basement suite in east van and wondering how much we could get for rent
We had 15+ groups begging to rent at $1600 a month and all with pretty decent Income/professionals/willing to give 4-5 references and be subject to credit checks.
For approx 700sq ft 1br suite ground level

Kudos to you for getting that kind of rent.
Eventually something has to give though, right? As I alluded to in my post about Toronto, I would think eventually people will get tired of paying these kinds of rents. I mean, the whole point of renting is to save money in lieu of paying a mortgage, taxes, etc.

The only thing I can say is that it's brand new, nicer finishings than a lot of "new" show homes I've walked through, and it's big. But yea, how can anyone afford to be paying that and survive long term

CRA website doesn't explicitly say and a ton of other financial sites keep mention 50k but that's because everyone keeps assuming a person + spouse buying, I haven't come across anything where it actually states explicitly 50k or 2 people is the max.
2. I was in a scenario where I took out RRSP's put a down on a presale then opted out but didn't put my money back. I ended up making another deal on a presale and there are rules about dates you need to buy by etc and so far I'm meeting the conditions assuming my place will be done by Oct 1 of this year which it very well might but there's always a chance I'll go past the date too so.
On a completely different website at Clarifying the Home Buyers? Plan RRSP withdrawal process | Grantcga it states
"2) In cases of a purchased property from builders that have closing dates multiple years into the future (such as condominiums), an amount would have to be paid by October 1st of the year following the year of withdrawal to the contractors or suppliers for materials or otherwise towards the property’s construction that was, at minimum, equal to the total of all eligible withdrawals made under the HBP."
CRA website doesn't say anything about this and yes I've called CRA more than once but both people i've talked to don't know shit about HBP and are simply just reading off the site.
