Langdale-HSB run isn't so bad in the summer without resos. They run extra boats, and one of those boats they only reserve 10% of space. So yeah, waiting all day just to take the last ferry? Fuck that. Get in line and you'll be fine without a reso. Home by dinner.

Fuck I got a kick outta that | hey.. happened to me once. I dated a chick from the island once and I picked her up from horseshoe bay. Then realized it was at Tsawwassen bay.
One thing about motorcycles is that you don't need reso. Still remember it was pouring rain, making it 5 mins before gate closes, but since I'm a motorcycle, i was able to be waived up and squeeze in. Best moment ever seeing all these getting rejected and backing down not being able to get on the ferry.

For those that did interior painting (walls, ceiling, baseboard, door trims, etc..) How much $/sf did it cost? Just tryna get approximate ranges ahead of time.

what level of quality? if you want them to repair every little thing in the walls like bulges, dents, etc... gonna cost a lot more. we had 2 chinese guys do our house and just do the basic touchups and fillers beforehand, they did about 1200sf in 3 days including doors, trim, baseboards... took all the doors off, replaced all the old hinges for some nominal extra cost, was $6k including SW Duration paint. no ceilings.

What quality do you want? Sanding down all the ways to a smooth base AND THEN painting is going to give you a much smoother and pretty finish. Most painters may just block it a few times across the whole wall to knock down the nubs only and then it's orange peel galore.
My wife doesn't care as long as the wall is one colour, but to me it makes a huge difference. I spent a week sanding down all the walls in our townhouse before painting, I simply didn't have time with the house we upgraded to that was double the size and the paint quality suffered massively. A proper sanding job is going to take more time than the painting itself.

A better quality/smoother finish will also be easier to clean
But at some point it’s diminishing returns

I'm surprised this isn't bigger news.
"2.4K Ontario real estate agents out of work after agency ordered to close" https://globalnews.ca/news/11343875/...ealty-closure/
Wouldn't hundreds of millions of deals be affected?!

it really depends what you want in the end of what you're even capable of noticing yourself.

anyone heard of the Manulife One mortgage?
i contacted my broker about seeing what it would take to swap to a mortgage with a heloc so we could look at doing the smith maneuver and she proposed this as rates currently aren't looking any better etc etc.

My friend is renting out a condo through FB Marketplace. The inquiries are 99% east Indian and African immigrants tryna go 2-3 ways on a 1 Bed + den.
She's asking $2,400 for a 1BR the older metro condos. I suggested she lower it by $1-200 and try to snipe a solo tenant. I can only imagine how much wear and tear there would be with 2-3 tenants, or one of them not paying.

A guy I work with, young Indian guy bought a big house with his parents in Surrey. Typical house with two scabbed together basement suites
I tried to give him pointers on choosing tenants but he seemingly ignored me
In a span of 4 months he’s had 2 Indian guys who had a 3rd guy secretly move in, ultimately got booted out for playing music blaring at 3 am and making noise, fighting etc. they never even paid the deposit moved in, moved out same month
Next month Indian guy and a white girl, got into a domestic a week in, police come girl gets a restraining order, buddy moves all his shit out onto their driveway, says he’s gonna pick it up, ghosts them and now he is responsible for storing their shit
3rd tenant shows up to move in, Indian family with a kid, refuses to give a deposit, starts moving their shit in, buddy has to boot them because they won’t provide deposit
I’m like bro.. wtf are you doing??
When I briefly posted my suite up I got the same emails, “is this suitable for 3 people??”
Yea.. a 1 br 1 bath is suitable for 3 adult men.. yes..

Yea exactly.. I could tell right away their only concern was getting people in there and making $$$ as opposed to actually vetting decent tenants

The Metrotown Studio rental I mentioned some pages back had a family of 4, 2 of which are toddlers trying to apply. Even after viewing they literally told me they'll make it work. Also had a single mom wanting to turn 1 of the closets (not a walk-in) into a nursery for her newborn.
