i'm guessing very old (30ish) wood frame low rises? were they leaky? at 200k there could be a $50-100k assessment among other things tied to it bringing it close to a 1 br new build further east. you're right not impossible to find something 'affordable' if it's older but there's definitely more due diligence required. looks could be the last thing on my list when looking for a home in that range. it's the hidden gems. take it from me, owning a condo that's leaky or has assessments going on constantly is NOT fun.
as far as looks... i can slap some paint on the inside and it'll look well enough. you should see my first house, it looks like one of those shacks (people tell me they've seen worse though
) but when they get on the inside they're like
it looks great on the inside...i just did some minor renos inside since i live on the inside, outside is for everyone else to look at i don't care about
when did they reno the white spot in burnaby? which location?
