However, prices are still at an all time high.Canada, and particularly cities like Toronto & Vancouver seem to have a number of factors at play that are increasing prices: (a) low interest rates, (b) steady flow of new immigrants, (c) foreign investors, (d) lower supply than prior years and (e) sought-after country to move to.Although your question was BC/AL, hope this gives you some added perspective on ON (Ontario) as well.All the best.

Although there has been some success with the immigrant community.

In the UK people are very good about appointments, and usually have the courtesy to call to cancel if they can't make it.

For taxes and immigration/foreign investments, you'd definitely have to talk to a CPA and/or an attorney.

That’s why immigrants are coming here.

Higher rates matter...a lot.Whether we like it or not, higher prices (inflation) are the consequence of our decisions around things like drilling, tariffs, immigration, and war (yes, we are at war). 

Anywhere other then UK, CA, and France.

However im suspecting most of the tenants in this area are undocumented immigrants as he says they all pay cash.

He kicked the super out, moved into the unit himself, then rented units out to un-documented immigrants increasing the rents beyond what's allowed, and replaced about half of the tenants that way.

A lifestyle question.Assume that I needed to travel on a periodic basis between Santa Barbara and London UK.
