Not this year. I dont raise rent on tenants who stay, only when getting new tenants if the market allows it.

Im in Canada. Very few 'mom and pop' investors make an LLC for RE investment here. Thats more an American thing.

I pay a ton of property taxes. About 1500 a month but its all deductible against rental income except for my primary dwelling. And Ill pay a lot in taxes when I sell the rental houses. My primary dwelling is tax exempt for capital gains but

Im one of those 'greedy' old farts who owns more than one home. We have one for ourselves and 5 rentals. Im starting to agree with those who are feeling priced out of the market. What would make me stop buying homes? A graduated t

The buyer's realtor is supposed to be working in the buyer's best interest and getting the lowest price possible. In reality it doesn't often work that way, especially when the buyer and seller realtors know each other. I

The humanoid robot will arrive right on time. Just as soon as Musk completes the new semi, the new roadster, the Cybertruck, the '25k' Tesla, Full Self Driving and his new battery plants. Why ANYONE believes the huckster, I have n

I think that was the point. There are many markets that are overheated and it was time to turn down the temperature. 5% should help. (We lived through 18% in the 80's. This is barely tapping the brakes.)

Not so much where the jobs are, but where there is already a community of their own people. We have lots of jobs out west (that fact goes unrecognized by ON and QC) but hardly any immigrants in comparison to cities like Toronto.

Very true. The same house I just sold in Calgary for 400k is worth 1.2M in Vancouver and area. Which is why there is so much money coming from Vancouver and the GTA to Calgary and Alberta.

Because there are realtors here?

No, not worried, but probably because as an older people we've been through this before. As kids we lived through the Cold War and had nuclear missile drills in school. I did a school project on how to build and stock an underground bo

The Libor scandal ripped off just about every person who held any kind of debt. And yet it's STILL barely known. When I got my mortgage I asked my banker agent what she thought about it. She had no clue what Libor was, let alone the sc

Enoughism. The world needs more of that. So many want to point to killing the oil fields or driving electric cars or solar panels as the antidote to global warming. But if billions of us would quit buying so many heavily packaged short life

What an animal! I logged onto our BBS with a 300 baud, and could watch the characters appear on the green CRT one at a time. Such speed, such exhilaration.

“How long were you dead,” she asked. Well, I don’t know. They had to run to the boats, dig their emergency bags out of the rigging, cut off my clothes, and no one timed that. Some people said I was gone for four or five minutes. Some said t

Interesting read. Had no idea it took that long and that many steps to make the actual model for sale or that the scale is not perfect to the original. More importantly, I regret giving up my collection of hundreds of Hot Wheels to my young

As long as HN doesnt focus on pics, gifs and TikTok garbage, it's probably safe from those who have a 1 millisecond attention span.

I wonder if the next successor to reddit could possibly become successful by limiting its user base. Once it reaches a certain size, you can only join when someone else leaves. Or be put on a waiting list while you scroll and lurk.

I thought I was overthinking it when I saw all this happening. I SO miss the reddit of 8 yrs ago.

Except that he wouldn't because he knows that would manipulate the market and he's more responsible than that.

And here's the truth about the 'average' prices in that article. They are heavily skewed by the high end houses, not the ones the average person buys. Ive owned there for 35 years and my two houses have always within 10k of t

Meh. 5 years ago my house in Calgary was worth 380k. I just sold it for 385k. It might have gone up to 400k if I had waited a bit. Its not 'bubbling' everywhere - just the meccas of Toronto and Vancouver and their bedroom communit

And once again, for about the 20th time, we are told there is a "Canadian" real estate bubble where in fact, there is a Toronto and Vancouver bubble and surrounding bedroom communities. I know they dont care much, but theres an en

Very curious how this would apply to cooking with propane. We're out it in the country so trenching in natural gas lines is prohibitive so the stove, furnace and dryer all run on propane which is considerably more refined than natural
