^ How much of your current portfolio would you have to liquidate for your down payment? If it's not too much (< 50%), then I think buying the condo would be fine. If you can maintain your diversity, you'll be fine.

Downtown condos will always have their appeal - whether the rental market, AirBNB, or empty nesters/divorcees. As long as the unit is a good size and the building is well managed, it'll hold its value.

Ultimately, the financial aspect of the purchase makes sense, but it comes down to one of lifestyle. Do you see yourself in Vancouver for the long-term? Do you ever see yourself shacking up with someone and having kids? (Raising kids in a condo sucks, period.)
