Just my 2 cents, but given the location, I would assume other than a doctor with a young family or a group of 4 friends looking to live downtown. 

Heard about Obie from a friend and decided to give them a try.

Quote from @Greg Miller: Quote from @Theresa Harris: BC is not very friendly to foreign buyers. 

There should be an automatic double-lifetime BP ban for the offender, as well as anyone who responds to the thread—and maybe their entire family and all friends.

I'm also open to flipping once I have some more funds on hand as I have some friends here I know that could help me with the right contractors to work with and start to make some money that way to get more properties.

Rent out a room, or two or 3 in your new place to friends, family, co-workers. 

Don’t talk with your spouse unless they want to, not your friends or coworkers, not your family.  

I have recently started a real estate company with a friend of mine.

So... if I were to advise a friend, I'd tell them, sure, if you really wanna buy, this platform is fine, just like Roofstock is fine, if you really don't have a team built out and trust built in to find better deals & opportunities.

Glad you asked my friend.
