Hi everyone,
I've been reading VancouverCondo for a while now, but just signed up for the forums. My wife and I are currently living in Toronto, but will be moving to Vancouver in January, 2011, and of course, will rent until the prices drop like a rock.
I just had a question for you locals in the know... we have been looking online for rentals and have noticed that Spectrum comes up a lot. It's in a great location, and some of the units have very nice views.
It also seems that Spectrum probably has a lot of "investor units". Do you think it would be easy for us to secure a good rental unit there (for around $1,500/month or less... especially when "reluctant landlords" start renting out their places)... in light of the fact that on Craigslist it seems there are so many rentals available.
We plan to stay in a hotel for one or two weeks while searching for a place to rent. Is one week enough time?!
Thanks for any and all advice!
Shawn
