I wanted to know if you think the MLS is the best way to find deals nowadays or if you would recommend that newbies look on craigslist or For Sale Buyer Owner (FSBOs)?

I think you can find a CD player for like $20 nowadays, cheaper if you buy off Craigslist.

And once married, seems like nowadays the engagement ring is simply a status symbol, so I opt to no engagement ring and wear a solid band (yellow gold or white gold depending on my outfit) when I choose to wear a ring at all...it's just not important to either of us what others think. 

Zig also said there has never been a statue erected for a critic: believe in yourself, your dreams and if you work hard, he'll see you at the top!

So, while months ago that price would be a stretch, nowadays the seller will likely get it.

Nowadays, those same 30 year fixed terms likely come back at par in the 6s with options to buy down into the 5s. 

It's certainly tough to find a cash flowing unit in the lower mainland nowadays.3) You mentioned you have a realtor that you work with that is also a investor.

This exception shall not apply to the field erection of a manufactured building.

I keep hearing that even in other markets you really have to get creative nowadays, unless you get super luck with a killer deal. 

@Roger Oiyemhonlan this is a popular strategy everywhere nowadays and even more so in your market!
