Hi @Tanya Braun I haven't looked at Vancouver market lately, but just talking to others and living in lower mainland if you are looking for appreciation in price than I would say the right neighborhood makes all the difference here since there are neighborhoods that are completely getting redeveloped, but with the city looking at implementing new rules that will effect foreign investors not sure whats going to happen.  

If you want to own it, but let employees run it and report to you, then your pay roll needs to reflect having capable people on site...Thoughts?
