We have been able to do this with several of our strategy clients, but the facts and circumstances matter, as well as the location and characteristics of this attached unit.

I recently picked one up for a client on Cap Hill that will cash flow positive even with him living in one unit (rare, special circumstances on that one but even if you’re just offsetting some of your living expenses it will be so much better than renting).

If you buy at 50-70% of market value, you're hedging against downturns or unforeseen circumstances.

If it is up at the end of April, do not let her extend her stay under any circumstances and watch out for anyone booking it for 30 days as she may try to rent it under someone else's name.

Your two kids (and counting) are counting on you to rise above the circumstances you created and do better.

I believe that the knowledge and experiences shared in this community will be invaluable, and I am eager to learn from all of you.I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to connect with fellow investors, especially those in the Vancouver area or anyone who started their journey in similar circumstances.

You might need to flip this to a "flip" or "renovation" loan depending upon the circumstance. 

When done well, giving a cash incentive to leave voluntarily will still cost you some money, but it may be faster, easier and may avoid property damage repair costs that sometimes are incurred when circumstances result in apathetic or hostile tenants.

Here, having a pool is never negative or neutral but you can be successful without one in certain circumstances. 

It is a challenging market.Best wishesThis goes back to my prev. alignment that you invest differently in different market circumstance.
