@JShamess Its the worst for renting ive ever seen. This is an odd stat that is different than im seeing on the streets. Pray tell more about this stat?
@specialdeal1@JShamess Yea mine too so many showings no takers. Neighbour have vacant units for months. Not sure whats going on but renting a unit is the worst ever ever seen.
@SteveSaretsky Gov needs to cut all red tape. Somehow prices to come down alot. Not sure how else other than mininal fees, maybe trades reduce fees, reduce margins? Allow tax breaks for condo buyers. No hst. Would love to hear other peoples ideas on how to reduce overall price.
@ronmortgageguy I went to a gas station yesterday and the price hadnt changed..... hopefully everyone can lower their prices now due to less shipping cost
@ronmortgageguy Ron what about getting rid of carbon tax. Wont that immediately drop inflation by like 1% at least? Likely alot more as good prices should theoretically reduce any carbon built in costs
@ronmortgageguy Market is going to return. Rbc was helping resident so they dont lose everything. What rbc is doing is right. He should have agreed and taken unit. What a waste of a massive deposit. Seems foolish to me
@danielfoch@igetredpilled Bs the tariffs will stop purchases in canada. People will know the tariffs will end so they wont buy things with 25% tariffs. It will cause deflation because no one will be purchasing anything except essentials and they will need to drop rates big time.
@JShamess How else do people get to toronto? When the subway system and train system is vast enough a charge might work. A charge now would just make everyones life very difficult....and interest rates are already doing that. Horrible idea.
@ronmortgageguy I wouldnt call it mortgage fraud - id call it people getting into the market who are denied by typical scenario bank rules. Many self employed are screwed by banks when it comes to getting a mortgage. By supporting this u are shutting more people out of homes ron!!! Is this good?
@ronmortgageguy I wonder Ron - there is fraud because bank rules are so stringent with little competition to drive rates down that people do what they need to do to get mortgages. Right now banks dont count rental income, and all sorts of income particularly for the self employed.
