Only downside to that is you don't build up your own equity.

Ask them to drop $250K on a laneway, then kick them into the laneway. You move in the main house and also tell them the basement rental income is yours now. Profit!

I noticed with units > 5 years old. The parents wouldn't help fund the place if it's an "old" condo. Same reason why a lot of people buy new cars instead of used. Parents won't pay for used because it'll break. So that thought process translates to condos and houses.

Lol, my wife with her 10 year old car almost monthly it's I want a new car. My response is I want a Corvette, sometimes we can't have everything we want in life. Save up and buy your own car or drive it till the wheels fall off and we'll talk.

Lol..that’s a terrible way to look at it. They should buy in a new build with a crazy design like Vancouver house etc. and they can deal with all the growing pains a building like that brings VS a 5+ year old build that has settled in and had any major issues addressed.
That’s the equivalent of buying like a C230 Benz over a 3 year old Honda Civic and thinking your buying reliability

What's up with people mentioning don't buy together unless you plan on getting married....
Have none of you heard about that thing called divorce?
Furthermore, many people don't believe in marriage all together

It's the same thing as renting, how many single people can afford to rent the whole unit and pay like $1800 a month, most is room mates or couples who split.
$1800 a month plus type r payment + insurance and gas is like $3000 a month already

Just on agents only app called homespotter. Sometimes listing agent will say if asked but only after possession. Releasing information like that is also breaching client confidentiality but of course there's always realtors that don't care

Took a quick look on Zealty and ad is still up so the info hasn't gone through yet.
But the thing that I found most interesting is the number of units for sale next door.
6 year old building, everything is around $1200 per sq ft for the comparibles.
I def can't wait to see how much that "500" sq ft unit sells for.
There is a Million dollar unit that is $854 per sq ft.

Holy crap, a dump of a townhouse like this sold for $1M???
This probably would've be lucky to get $600K back when I was shopping in 2019...
https://www.zealty.ca/mls-R2641228/6...E-Richmond-BC/
Actually, there was a slightly bigger unit that sold for $724K in May 2021

Yah, that $400K list for '500 sqft' unit could be slightly too good to be true. One of those units where realtor employ the price it low tactic to get attention and get the highest bid. List at $400K, sale at $460K ... then circulate flyers to entice other owners to sell ... a unit just sold for 15% over asking price.

I'm at $3,400 a month on housing ($2,300) and car expenses ($1,100 total, $630 of that is financing). Dancing around two jobs to be able to still save/invest lol.

That unit is really loud with all the cars coming out of the parkade. Especially the peeps bombing down Boundary, Ormidale, or Vanness to get into the parkade. You hear all the popopop.

Yeah, that's why I never look at the listing price.
For me, the assessed value is a good place to start, and then add X or XX% on top of that.
In this case, $400-$450K is a good starter unit but a better rental unit and I can see lots of investor types looking into the unit.
It's near the skytrain, though you are in the middle between Joyce station and Patterson.

^ wow ... as predicted, advertise it low, get lots of eye balls, then let the highest bid win.
That is kind of insane .. not sure I'd go in at that price point for that unit.

Almost $1300/psf for a 1bd/studio @ joyce... that's insane... must've just barely fit into someone's budget with the criteria of a newish 1bd/studio in Vancouver.
