I am very happy to join the forum, I am from Toronto and looking forward to learn more about real estate investment and grow together with you guys :)I have a property in Toronto, given its zoning already allows for duplex, I am thinking about converting the existing property to a duplex. following is some basic info:2 story semi detach, location: close to middle town,purchase price: CAD 900000 lot size 21*100, 1500-2000 sqrt feet interior, 3 rooms on second floor, 6 feet high basement, 3 separate entries(front door, back door, basement), 1 detached garage in the yard but facing forward(not laneway), parking is in front of the housealready installed gas furnace,property was built in 1910sARV based on nearby duplex: 1.2m+there are several work involved in this project, including change service power to 200A, egress window for basement, open one window for main floor, separation wall to form two units, and create bathroom for main floor, separate meter if basement size is allowed.another thing I am undecided is whether it is worth to underpin the basement to at least 8.5 inch or not, giving the basement is very small (about 400 sqrt feet)I am only on the first stage of the project, where I just started to gather information and source for an architect and project construction team.

Run it up the wall a few inches and force a leak to be visible right away. 

Hi Aleksandra,   Nest has a good rep in Ch-ville.  

I raised your reasoning to the group: my agent, the lender, the attorney and they are not moving from an inch.

The camera was not able to push through the debris in the line at the transition from 4 inch cast iron to 6 inch clay outside the foundation wall.

I would open the door like 2 inches only and peak and if it is occupied just sayfirmly and a little loud. 

Temperature inside 86.2-5 out of 12 drawers  in the kitchen were nailed shut.( boxes were gone)3-Wash machine didn't run any cold water , ever.( needed new value)4- no screens on any windows. ( house built in 2006)5- kitchen cabinets (used) installed in both bathrooms. ( guess vanities cost to much)6- both toilets rock because they replaced tile with fake wood and the flange was 3/4 inch high.( cost a pretty penny to get a plumber to cut down and re seal up for a holding flange)7- No pee traps in either bathroom drain
