Agreed with the intersection at Yukon. Cars can't even make it through the light at Cambie because of the backups. I don't understand the "timing for buses" reasoning either, since there is no dedicated bus lane on Marine. |

you probably drive it daily so know more than i do on the subject but i thought new intersections like kinross are ped/left turning/right turning activated and not timed it's a major arterial road like Kingsway, meaning crap-ton density of residential/commercial and less like Marine Way where it's just farmlands there's a new light by the Norquay area near Gladstone st where the old Cambodian tire used to be, so expect more stop-go in Kingsway east van but at least they installed a left turn lane on gladstone from westbound |
Coquitlam Centre area is really passionate to overtake the Richmond Centre area for largest concentration of retardation in the smallest concentration of land. Same story. Traffic signals everywhere, lanes reduced to make way for bikes. Traffic is a mess. The Evergreen is useful but still need a car for most other tasks. Pipeline Road could use a widening. Glad I don't live in that area anymore. It takes so much time to travel a small distance and that's not even including rush hour. The future development at Coq Centre won't help anything. |
Regarding selling (or buying) a property that is currently tenanted. I have been researching it as I plan to sell my rental house (tenanted top and bottom) in the next year or two. I already sold a condo that was tenanted in 2018. In that case our tenants gave notice they were leaving and were really flexible with showings. They had nice furniture and always kept it clean and tidy. We had a buyer very quickly and sold it. We had our tenants sign a letter stating they would be leaving the property on X date so that we could provide this to the buyers. Just some extra piece of mind for the buyers. In the case of my rental house, my downstairs tenants are clean and flexible but the upstairs are not flexible and don't want anyone in the unit when they are not present. They are also extremely messy and dirty so it will not go well. The upstairs could also use repainting. Rather than evicting for landlord use of property, we plan to offer them money to find another place to live. At least 1.5 to 2 times the monthly rent. I have heard of this done successfully as it provides incentive to find another home with the knowledge that the house is for sale and they may be evicted anyway. It is so much easier to sell a vacant home that rather than deal with tenants are messy and difficult. Often tenants are frustrated or angry that they are being evicted and will not present your property in a positive way. A buyer can request a seller end the tenancy for landlord use of property. Two months notice is required and the tenant receives one month free. As stated on the previous page it cannot be a requirement of the sale. It is simply a request. https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/h...o-month-notice |

Subject to inspection, subject to financing etc. And now that the market is starting to slow down, buyers have more power so in the end, it's the seller's problem. |

When I bought my place I had 12 days to clear those subjects from when I placed my offer. Even in today's market, I don't see sellers giving buyers 2 months to clear those subjects? |

Actually one thing I've noticed for several of the intersections along Marine is that even cars making just a right turn onto Marine will cause the light to turn red. That makes no sense to me. I don't think it's because the crossroad is very narrow and the car just barely hits a sensor; it's actually meant to do that. |

Part 1: The buyer would need to insert a termination of tenancy (evict) clause in the subjects as part of the purchase contract. Part 2: The moment subjects are removed, the buyer would then serve official notice (separate addendum) to request the landlord (ie: owner) to have the tenant vacate by (anytime before possession, preferably at least 1 week before). Of course if you're dealing with problem tenants, alternative arrangements will be necessary like what TouringTeg noted. |
It seems to me that much of the River District east of Kinross is not move-in ready. If you think traffic is already bad right now, think how bad it'll get when people start moving in. FailFish On the topic of purchasing a currently tenanted property, presumably for the new owner's personal use, I'd be surprised if the realtors assisting both the buyer and the seller don't have some tried-and-true standard procedures they can recommend to their clients so that the eviction responsibilities falls on the seller instead of the buyer. It is literally their duty to represent and protect the interests of their client, esp on the buying side. |

https://www.theglobeandmail.com/cana...st-of-housing/ Another article emphasizing what people are doing. I remember an article years ago saying how even some doctors weren't able to afford a place here. |
We have a supply shortage of housing anyways. Let then leave...millions of other immigrants wanting to take their place. |

Approx $3100 monthly take home. $1164 per month could be allocated to mortgage. Where did your down payment come from making that much. Where the fuck does a house in the lower mainland that was purchased in the last 15 years come with a $1200 mortgage. Thats less than a 200k mortgage. |

Happy, just because you made it doesn't mean everyone else above your pay grade will just because some are willing to sacrifice and compromise on their quality of life, doesn't mean others should most of the article is on people who moved here for school from ON, AB NS etc, but years into a career doesn't make financial sense to put roots down here, so they move away/back i grew up in east van, some of my peers are happy with moving to langley, good for them but that's not feasible for me, whether to see family, or the usually 8am traffic i also shouldn't have to skimp out on a vacation just because i want to pay the bank more interest even if one can technically afford it, housing is sucha big mental drain...i shouldn't have to feel guilty about eating out on weekends the article has one line for you...not every 37 year old wants a roommate |
What’s a roommate, when you had two for the previous 37 years saving for that downpayment (their parents). Lol. |

If you want something bad enough you will make it work. Talk about 2 professional can't afford a place well there is a guy who paid off his mortgage in 3 years and he make it work for him by working 7 days a week. People are just too lazy and doesn't want to put the extra effort in and just want things handed to them. https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/sea...debt-1.3402026 I love to see these so call professional expense and see where they are actually spending their money on. Or rather people have different priorities and spend their money on something that they feel is more important (Yearly vacations, mods on their cars, yearly new cell phone, change their clothing quarterly, dining out weekly, daily starbucks, weekly movies.....) some of these expense might be small but they do all up. |
2 people working minimum wage shouldnt be buying a place. They should be renting until they have actual careers. Happy I agree with you though about working harder and smarter. |
I'd argue just because your income can cover a mortgage payment doesn't mean you should. I don't think you should be leveraging 50% of your take home income on just the mortgage. Unless your take home is like $15k a month. |
