He’s looking at 2.9 million dollar homes and I don’t think his parents are buying it for him so he can’t be.

There are some hot assistants, the guy agents typically have the hot assistants. A few years ago we went to a open house on one of the new towers on Nelson around Metrotown, even my wife said she'd bang the chick.

Too bad I don't have the money to close the sale and a 3P

That contract does not require them to act as a fiduciary and legally they aren't obligated to protect your interest. Hell thats why they have errors and omissions insurance so they can cover their asses when they "forgot" to mention that my drain tiles are clogged to shit.

The problem is the industry and not the individual. It needs to be overhauled and thats why recently me and the wife have just been hunting on our own. When we find a home we like, and did our due diligence, then we call our realtor to make the deal. During of wheeling/dealing process, i dont listen to a god damn thing he/she says and just go purely based on my own gut/budget considerations. I dont need to see your "comparable" i don't give a fuck, ill just pay what i think is fair for that property.
What you're looking for is called added value. Many realtors don't offer that or their perception of that is doing 1 minor thing.
The good realtors much like how I was trained is to offer a solution to the clients problem. That means anything and everything. I've fired notaries that were on my recommendation for delaying conveyancing and not meeting my clients on a timely manner. Majority of agents just shrug their shoulders.

The problem isn't the length of the program, it's what's taught. Tons of legal stuff, which is fine but they don't teach the "hands on" ie actual client relations. There's no "apprentice " period. I've done the Home Inspection Course from BCIT and the last portion is literally hands on inspections at people's homes with a senior inspector watching. I think it was 10 inspections I had to go through and it wasn't paid.

Once one acquires the RE license, they're basically thrown into the fire. No one helps anyone, not even the managing brokers. It's a dog eat dog eat dog industry. I'm absolutely fortunate 1 of my closest buddies took me under his wing cause honestly I'd be lost in this industry.

i guess I officially don't live in a non-rental building anymore.

upside - could roll up to my parents house for a few years and bank 3k a month.

could try a different town for a bit and probably net zero or better while hanging onto our ownership.

downside: i won't be the only one thinking about doing that. our owner occupied building is for the most part well managed and taken car of by owners that care about their homes. i'm generalizing but in my experience the current ~10% of units that are rented (current strata bylaw) are the toughest neighbours to deal with.

Fortunately this does not force stratas to allow short term rentals. We'll be able to continue to ban airbnb's etc in our building.

Time will tell how his plays out I suppose. I'm not exactly sure how this helps anybody. Will more owned but unoccupied units make it to the rental market?

"In addition, the Province is making amendments to the Strata Property Act to end all strata rental-restriction bylaws and to limit age-restriction bylaws so that the only permitted age restrictrion is to preserve and promote serniors' housing through the “55 and over” rule in strata housing."

It's finally happening...... I would not be surprised if this gets overturned in some court.

If this goes through, it's going to be massive. More investors are going to pile into the well managed stratas, rental stock will spike, home prices will increase, and there is going to be alot of unhappy home owners that their buildings are slowly going to become rental buildings.

Personally, I no longer need to worry about only looking at 25% of homes when shopping due to rental restrictions.

I think we'll see an influx of investment buyers on the lower end older condos/TH that now become a great place to provide cashflow and a bet on the market returning to better times without paying that premium on newer places w/out restrictions. Plus with the older stuff, a developer buyout is more likely so renting it out while you sit on a dump is not a bad way to make your money work

There's some nice looking new duplexes showing up in Vancouver nowadays - not the buddy guy stuff that was very common 5 years ago but with current interest rates these kinds of places are nearly $8k/mo in payments at 20% down. For 1500sf that's NUTS.

Also, that garage is only 8'9" wide. I don't understand how any city planner approves this.

rotatory(n) · pertaining to or of the nature of rotation

OR Notary + Rotary = Rotatory? some kinda Chino-Japo pronunciation?

Those realtors site plans are not 100% accurate.

Vancouver Bylaw requires 2.9m for a parking stall abutting two walls.

just call molly maid or beeclean and ask.

They usually ask for basic information like Sqft and # of bathrooms and stuff, and then they give you a price. I found that for the majority of the bigger cleaning outfits they gave very simillar pricing. Like within 5% of each other.

Or you can just go the craigslist route and find some rando that will come, it's like gambling, you might get some little old granny that comes and does an amazing job for cheap, or you might get someone who comes and robs half your shit.

Best of luck.

I mean, it's a move out, so the place will be empty. Unless he/she wants to take away the 10+ year old stove and fridge

Real estate related I guess. Does anyone know if someone rents out a parking space in a condo to a non resident is that covered under the Residential Tenancy Act? Can't seem to find anything clesr cut yet. Ling story short having a dispute over getting a deposit back and they're trying to say I'm in violation of the RTA.

Just calle the RTA board and ask. I wouldn't be surprised if they say it doesn't fall under RTA.

I'm pretty sure the RTA only applies to rental spaces where humans would actually be inhabiting...

Curious why there's a deposit put down? I've rented an extra spot before and it's pay whole year up front. Same with storage unit, all up front.

In my experience it has been standard. This is the 5th spot my wife had rented downtown in a condo from a resident for work and every person has always asked for a security deposit.
