I find students are easy to deal with, especially international students. Most of the time their rich parents pay for the rent, so payments are safe. Just make sure to rent out 1-year period and don't allow summer sublet. Find a property that is well connected to more than one school to increase...

I take that you have passed your written test 100% ...... even ppl know it in their head, it doesn't mean they will do it. I propose a practical test for places that have roundabouts, conduct the G2/G test through a roundabout as one of the test elements. That would make new drivers practice...

With the address of "One Yonge Street" I really hope this becomes an iconic landmark and not just some run-of-the-mill office building or condo.

^ interesting. I wonder how much % of single house to condos in 2011/06 compared to 2011/08. My guess is that many of the expensive house stock were sold in 2011/06, thus an average price drop in 2011/08 that might not particularly mean condo prices have dropped at all.

CN: I gotta agree with you. Those elevations are bland, not the sleek minimalism type that could stand the test of time. All I can say it is in a good location, the building offers nothing interesting in architecture. Unfortunately, I bet they will charge similar downtown premiums of >$550/sf...

Great thanks. I really hope this centre remains to the retail/commercial. would be a shame to turn into another condo project above the subway station

is that the mall with the cineplex theatre on the northeast corner?

A good example is Scotiabank plastering huge signs on their store fronts "Borrow to get ahead". In some ways it makes sense, like the old adage, use others' money to make you money. But that shouldn't apply to anyone, there are risks and it requires knowledge.

maybe not a mirror image of Nestle b/c the architect will get flamed for copying design, but at least give us something more interesting like emerald park

i think it's all up to the provincial government. Hudak will harp on the Liberals for throwing away money for an expensive event like the Olympics. sadly because of this, I don't see the Liberals backing the bid...

^ ouch, so true though. Who really cares about the Pan-Am games other than the athletes and family?

I think talks will heat up very soon. Today marks exactly 1 year away from the start of the London games. Fan590/Rogers Sportsnet and TSN are advertising hard about the upcoming Olympics. I'm sure discussions will pick up on the airwaves and eventually get the Fords on the air talking about the...

Cantt156: Are you looking for something near Toronto? I saw your other post in another thread looking for something in New York.. If in near Toronto, try looking in Whitby or Oshawa?

i refuse to trust anything written by RE brokers or banks in terms of housing bubble. RE brokers have their own self-interests in selling houses and banks love to play to doom and gloom card and scare people and lock them in long term fix rate mortgages (i have no data, but i'll go out on a limp...

swap the LR and Bedroom 2 and it'll be a great space. the bedroom will be a tad small, maybe shift the kitchen layout and add an island. the new LR will be great

To add to that, TD is currently giving mortgages with no checking if you put down 35%. I hear Scotiabank is doing that too soon. Thoughts?

could they somehow keep the pink top? it makes it very recognizable

looks like a scam to me

nice, it is going fast. but i'm afraid when the paint chips and the bridge rusts over time, it'll look pretty bad. could they use a different finish to it?

interesting.. what company sponsored? petmarts? kibbles and bits?
