Forget moving to Europe. Buy a place in Australia. So your kids can hit the mountain all year around. 6 months here 6 months there.

If you really want snow I think Chile is supposed to be better than Australia for the southern hemisphere.

Tell me if this is not one of the most unique and great design for a smallish (but livable) 2 bedroom unit ?!
2 bedroom, 2 bath, 858 sqft, $717K, with a single attached garage in Richmond (Granville, Railway, Thompson Community area). Designed with a car guy in mind! https://www.realtor.ca/l/bR3L7/ka  | |

you want the sky? 2 garage for a 2 bedroom ~ 850 sq ft unit?
Avg condo gets one underground parking if it's a highrise.
Find me another similar unit in this city with an attached garage?

Worst case is to use all this cash to pay off mortgage of my house when it comes up for renewal. But I have always hated paying off low-cost debts like mortgage. High-interest like CC, sure... clear every month. But mortgage below 5%? Keep it for as long as I can and continue to build my cashflow.

I'd flip the right side of the layout so the master bedroom is next to the garage. Then put in a window so you can admire your car from bed.

We are currently exploiting a trade program where there’s a 90 days discrepancy between money being borrowed vs money being paid and generating cash flow off that. Controversial? Perhaps. But definitely lucrative to an extent.

Why not just go spend time and enjoy it instead of chasing more wealth. You got more than enough for your kids to not work again, plus when your parents go, all that shit is yours as well.
You should just do the absolutely bare minimum work and go spend time with yer kids.

- a single person with mommy and daddy help
- a young couple no children,
- a couple with newborn can maybe last 3-5 yrs?
- or a humble senior couple downsizing.
Legit neighbourhood!

I've never seen private garages too unless it's for penthouse and usually it's like 2 cars. I wonder if you're allowed to mechanic in the garage.

You should just do the absolutely bare minimum work and go spend time with yer kids. | Haha. I'm far from what you said. But I do dream of retiring in about 10yrs once kiddos go to college. For my retirement though, I need to take my mind off things. All I want for retirement is to do nothing unless I want to.
My existing RE business requires me to handle a lot of things. Anything from the business itself, to tenants management, to construction. I have always thought about hiring someone to replace me and does everything for me. However, the main problem becomes having to teach a person everything I know but there's nothing preventing them to just leave and start on their own. A mechanism to prevent that from happening does not exist.
So, I'm branching out. Taking all the cashflow from my real estate business and channel it into something else instead of keep pumping into RE. Something that relies on the cashflow generated by my RE business in order to generate more of it. This way, I can train a person (well, more like a group) to do it for me and as long as I retain control of my RE business, I retain control for the whole thing.

Coming from someone who lived in a condo/townhouse complex with underground private garages, just remember these "garages" are not like what you might imagine you are getting if it was a detached house.
BC Fire code prevents any and all kinds of storage in those garages. Cars only, that's it. Maybe some bikes. Depends on how fussy your local municipality fire inspector is. They do annual inspections.
Strata rules may or may not prevent you from doing any kind of repairs on your car in those garages. Because they are usually limited common property, strata can set rules and bylaws as they see fit.
But yeah, you do get easy access to your car in a heated underground space.

- Not motivated by money so I won't steal from you
- Too old to me ambitious so I won't steal your business
- Like working from home with random travel interspersed
- Currently on leave from work with no interest in going back to working for the government
- donk says I'm the only person he knows with a 5 star rating on FB Marketplace
- Very trustworthy face, people love talking to me
- 19,154 Thanks and only 308 Fails on RS, that's a 62:1 Thanks to Fail ratio
- People pleaser who only cares that everyone I deal with is happy (except when it's JasonS2000 and sometimes V3ral whatever his name is in Toronto) and have expertise at resolving difficult situations with people in an amicable manner
- 100% Feedback on eBay with 638 transactions
- Charming, witty, and my mom says I'm handsome
- I can pretend to like Teslas when I have to and sometimes still begrudgingly recommend them to people despite my biases
