15, you cannot deduct rental losses from your other income ie)employment or other investment.

Yes you can and I have done it (in the 80's, not lately – taking a small operating loss at 12% interest is something entirely different from taking a loss at 4% interest).

A revenue property is the same as any other investment and subject to the same rules. You can deduct interest paid to buy stocks from your other income, for example.

One exception – you cannot however use capital cost allowance (aka depreciation) to create or increase a loss on a rental property. The loss must exist without CCA.

The Chinese population in Vancouver is approx equal on a percentage basis to that of San Francisco.

Please explain why they are not holding up that market if that is your premise….

And PLEASE do not say something like "Because Vancouver is better!"

Has Van RE been flopped like US?

Has Van RE been abandoned ?

Has Van RE been in whatever negatively as you expected?

It seems you guys are still in some sort of mental delusion;should have a psychiatric assessment done early.

Vancouver RE will never end up like US because its 600000 PLUs Chinese population can sustain it alone.

Whining liked a miserable lazy child, can't lead you to a house. Stop spending senseless in beer and weed and start saving for your future,otherwise you will be left homeless or paying 1000 plus for a tiny bedroom in balmoral hostel on Hasting street.
