With the lower mainland becoming so expensive I can see more people moving to other parts of BC increasing prices. | You could work your ass off as a doctor these days and you couldn’t afford two homes.

41 yr old sales guy. Started working since 23. Bought apartment when I was 28 (old 1 bedroom built 1980s). Paid off 2021.
Can refinance apartment for a 400k lump sum downpayment, rental income and mortgage a bigger house.
41 doctor. Started working as a doctor 36. Even with no debt on schooling tuition; they can afford a mortgage 80% of home. 15% down.
Doctor can barely afford a $1M house due to the lack of downpayment even if their purchasing power is great.
who is really ahead... who knows.

I know it's a way to get ahead or whatever, but to me the main draw of a house is not sharing my living space with anyone, in any way. If I'm going to have to worry about how much noise I'm making or having to listen to someone else then I may as well just buy a townhouse or apartment for less.

That $5.2 is interesting. https://www.redfin.ca/bc/vancouver/1...home/155685016
Lot value is about $2-2.5M. I don’t think it cost another $2.5-3M to build that thing. Plus it’s a corner lot which is less desirable.

Rent the upstairs of the second house and use that to pay for a large chunk of the mortgage on his 3rd house. His 3rd house wouldn't even need renters.

Nowhere in history has corner lot ever been less desirable. I actually laughed when I read that.

His 3rd house wouldn't even need renters. | You speak of this like your cousin owning a 3rd rental/investment property is an awesome thing but this is exactly the type of behavior/mentality that we need to curb in the residential RE market. I respect your cousin's hustle and financial discipline but I'd much rather see his capital directed towards other sectors of the economy where people aren't struggling to secure basic living needs. If people weren't so crazy about owning 2nd, 3rd, 4th investment properties, maybe the renters of those investment properties could actually own their own home? Like, imagine if we were allowed to buy up hospital beds to the point where price per bed becomes unattainable for the average person and we can charge people rent when they're sick?
From Globe and Mail, https://www.theglobeandmail.com/busi...ng-in-ontario/:
"There’s new evidence to suggest that a minority of Canadian homeowners are amassing large amounts of residential real estate in Ontario and B.C. New data reveal that 15.5 per cent of individual homeowners own 31.1 per cent of all residential properties in Ontario as of 2019. In British Columbia, 15 per cent of individual owners held 29.1 per cent of the provincial housing stock."
From Global News, https://globalnews.ca/news/8754816/m...housing-stock/:
"New data from Statistics Canada shows multiple-property owners held between 29 and 41 per cent of the housing stock in Ontario, British Columbia, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick in 2019 and 2020."
This is unchecked capitalism rearing its ugly head.

My privacy is more important than money, it's why when I bought my last place 40 foot cedar trees at the edge of my property and a super private back yard were the selling feature for me. I do realize I'm lucky in the sense that with the price of homes currently that isn't an option for many.

I'm one.
I absolutely hated it in the 5 years I spent renting.
I count my blessings that I can afford my house without rental income, and even if I had a suite capable of being rented I wouldn't do it. I really wouldn't care how much money I would be missing out on.
But I totally get that there's others out there who don't mind, some even prefer it. That's the thing about people, we're all different.

This was my last house which was a corner lot and I hated maintaining the city owned lawn. I had lots of street parking that my neighbours left for me to use but it was a relatively busy side street so lots of cars going by at all times of the day/night. I give it a neutral rating for a corner lot.
I much prefer the lots that face into a park or into a really good fried chicken joint.
