Yes Michael, I got it. However, you fail to realize with that statement you are no different than the people you hate.

But judging from your posts, you probably already know that.

I tried to post the Digi Post but it didn’t work.

“Precisely. This means that a 40 year amortization is a good deal for investors, but not for those buying their first home”

Yeah! All we need to do now is find cash-flow positive investment properties! There must be tons of them out there in this hot market… Everyone wants to move to Vancouver, so I can charge whatever rent I want.

I’m going to get a 40 year amortized mortgage on a studio downtown… it will only cost me $21,700 a year to service the $350,000 loan! Hooray! I’m sure there will be tons of people willing to pay the ~$2200 a month to live in the greatest place on earth. After the first year, my sucker of a renter have already paid down $2,500 of the principal! What a great investment!

Get on the RE investment train everyone! First stop - Equity town!

Precisely. This means that a 40 year amortization is a good deal for investors, but not for those buying their first home.

I can’t seem to find the button that says “Michael Randallbard ejector seat”.

not really, I hate people here and really couldn’t care less if they are swayed by my opinion or not. Got it?

I am here to trash Vancouver as best I can. I make no bones about this.

I am sick to death of “the best place on Earth” BS here and wish all these hotshot money grubbing business types would FOAD.

“Lunatic?”
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Go out and see the world is my best advice to you.
Thankfully Google Earth makes it possible for those of us who can’t.

You come across as a foaming-at-the-mouth lunatic on most of your posts. If you truly want people to be swayed by your opinion, I suggest some investigation into the arts of conversation and persuasion. Start off with the basic stuff first.

Yes, the pool here is nice, but if everyone pisses in it, only those with weak bladders will be left.

IT PUTS THIS HELL HOLE OF VANCOUVER TO SHAME FOR GOOD!

Absolutely true. That’s why I left Vancouver after 33 years. Where I am, people are always surprised when I tell them it’s not Shangri-La. Guess the myth persists in the rest of Canada that Vancouver is “the” place to live.
