Vancouver is a magnet for Chinese money, and has a very nice climate (one Canadian described it as the California of Canada).  

Bad apples are spoiling the reputation of good agents.

Duplexes and 4 families are apples and oranges.

People working with him who are experiencing the same shoddy work don't need for you to tell them he's a bad apple, they already know...my .02

@Sam Sjoberg Congrats and Welcome to the Bi Apple and BP.

A magnetic sign for your car and bandit signs.

Just not worth damaging the relationship for a smaller dollar amount....If a bad apple (and I don't get many as I screen well) trashed them all on purpose or recklessly, I would probably go through the effort to document and offset the deposit for the materials.Best of luck with both your tenant and window screening!!

Dan Miles - make sure your loan products are apples to apples, that you're not trading a 30 year fixed for a 30 year ARM that might start with lower payments but go up higher.I've noticed some friends spending windfall $$ for unique kitchen/bath upgrades that I guess make them happy but are adding less than 50 cents per dollar spent to the home value and little if anything to the rental rate.

The condo is less than 2 miles from Apple's new "spaceship" campus so this is another reason I want to hang onto it.

We submitted a fix to Apple last week and are waiting on them to accept the updates.
