Today in the Business section of the Sun there was an article which sounds a bit scary for renters….

People keep asking me about this issue so I thought I should write a blog on it.  The first thing I want to make clear is what a subprime mortgage is not: it is not a mortgage below prime rate!  What it is, is a mortgage provided by a non-mainstream lender usually to a buyer who cannot qualify for a mainstream mortgage.  Because they are offering you a service that you can't get in the usua ...

Well today is the big vote at the City of Vancouver-to decide whether home owners will face an 8% increase in their property taxes.  For years commercial properties have been more heavily taxed and the proposal this year is not to increase commercial tax rates at all but to just increase residential.  Given how much more commercial entities (bear in mind this includes small, and sometimes o ...

I think everyone should buy a place-it doesn't make sense to rent if you can afford to buy.  Given the rents in Vancouver, and given that now my clients can get mortgages with nothing down (or very little depending upon their individual situation) it general ...

Well once again the issue of environment intersects with real estate!
