For example, a property built into the side of a hill where the lower level is significantly out of ground, the interior finish is equal throughout the house, and the flow and function of the layout is accepted by the local market, may require the gross living area to include both levels.

Can you function and do you want to function as a landlord.So many questions - I do 1031s and I wish it was as easy as saying that's the right answer. 

The price you can get will be a direct function of how badly the developer needs your property.

Account ClosedYes, BC did announce some of their newer regulations - which included the so-called 'speculator levy' - prior to having the data to back the action ... call it "speculative governance" if you might.Now that data is being collected in BC and Ontario (ostensibly for Toronto and the Golden Horseshoe}, we are starting to get a better picture of just "who" the speculators are in those markets and it is seeming as though the "foreign contingent" is not as significant as initial presumed.On your recommendation to explore "Subject To"  deals, I should point out that very manner in which mortgage financing functions in Canada, makes "Subject To" deals less attractive and less common.
