If you were on the West Coast, you could allow me to put my portfolio inside yours and we would be one screaming, orgasmic single portfolio to rule Vancouver! We could save on rent together and make sweet investing decisions together. You are a sexy thing!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6818486532233792196.post-30526294710057805272017-06-13T13:30:18.914-04:002017-06-13T13:30:18.914-04:00I lived 10 years in a one bedroom appartement down...I lived 10 years in a one bedroom appartement downtown and the rent was 700$ I think towards the end, including heating and electricity. But that was almost a decade ago. There were also occasional bugs, peeling paints and somewhat rusty appliances. But great location and sound isolation. The next tenant was going to get the place for 870$, because when you stay in a place for a long time, your price increases are minimal over time but new tenants don't get that price: They get the "real" market price. I think 650$ an unrealistic expectation for a new tenant in 2017 -- and also all the gems out there would be rented out anyway months ago.<br /><br />The average rent for 1 bedroom is reportedly around 850$ but that includes greater Montreal, not just downtown and conveniently located (like "near frontenac metro station").<br /><br />When you're shopping for less than that in downtown Montreal, I think you're shopping in a world of appartements for students, immigrants, out-of-work people. It's going to be shit. It's going to be dirty and noisy. It's not just the tenants, it's also who's renting. Neither side cares to care for the appartement. The people who pay that price AND care and have made the appartement nice and their true living space aren't moving out often, and therefore these places aren't available for rent. Finally, a whole class of people are paying more and instead buying small condo, with which you can get back some of your capital. Renting is just burning money away. fredericnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6818486532233792196.post-19696782604513252852017-06-10T15:51:00.063-04:002017-06-10T15:51:00.063-04:00It is awful how some people live. I have seen apa...It is awful how some people live. I have seen apartments that are absolutely filthy. <br />I used to live in a building that did not allow pets. A few years later, I went to look at another apartment in the building while the renter still lived there. The owner of the building showed me the apartment and first thing we both notice was a cat. After leaving the apartment, the owner told me "You know how clean we keep this building, and personally guaranteed me the place will be sprayed, cleaned and freshly painted". That is Dartmouth, Nova Scotia<br /><br />Different story now. A family of 3 (a mother and her son's family) adults and a grand baby rented my father's house. Within 6 months, inside the oven was black as can be and it was a gas stove. To top if off, the grandmother was friend's with my father and stepmother. <br /><br />Carpets are cheap and hide imperfections. All the hallways in my building are carpet and they cleaned them once in the 5 years I have been here. Vacuuming only gets the lose dirt and does not sanitize them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
