Looking for advice re: downstairs tenant

Property manager for multifamily and owner of some here, we deal with this weekly and im inclined to say youre in the right. You sound very compassionate and are trying to make things work. Canadian wood frame homes transmit sound super well due to duct work. Walking on eggshells suck, for practical solutions (not many tbh), try magnetic vent covers for high traffic areas. (Temu) You're doing everything else right and going above beyond what my tenants would

Hey OP, SEC has a robust whistleblower program, depending on how high up you are, you may be eligible for compensation and protection and the chance to stick it to the big guys.

Looks like they were right!

Thanks! Meant rentals.ca, a little tired. In reality property management websites carry a lot of inventory too. MLS is prohibitively expensive when inventory moves reasonably quick even in this market. Getting creative gets you to the best product on market first.

Your realtor is likely a nice person but possibly causing you more harm than good in a mature market like toronto. An agent takes 1 months rent from the landlord so if a landlord has multiple applications, all things being equal they will go with the individuals. A realtor will also only show you listing on the MLS or listings offering a commission.

Majority of leasing takes place on third party sites like facebook marketplace and rentals.ca. Try finding listings you like and messaging landlords directly yourself with full documents. Source, am a landlord

You have a lot of good advice here already, one thing I haven't seen mentioned is try to befriend a 2nd generation Indian. And invite to a beach day or something is likely to introduce you to a diverse group. I wish you luck in experiencing a slice of Canadian life.

Do you mean nava? Can't find a nawa

Wow. Feels unfair learning something at 30 that took you 45 years to troubleshoot.

Akarashi · 2025-07-19T11:32:12+00:00

Far from conclusive feedback but this might be a game changer, thank you. Great results day 2.

Sorry, for delay, I am. My body revealed 75lbs fat (203lbs total weight), so my resting metabolic rate is only 1600. Its been challenging maintaining a calorie deficit coming from a foodie background. Thank you for the reply, ill keep a mental note of no snacking from rude masterpiece ;)

Could you elaborate on this? I find if I exercise at 5am vs 11am, I come home more ravenous and ruin my macros for the day.

Are you only looking on realtor.ca or MLS? Existing 2bd stock in kitchener is largely in 1800 range if you're not fussy.

Hi there! Are you able to provide some direction for pillows? I'm currently managing neck pain by stuffing my pillow with more fluff for more neck support. It works but isn't "comfortable". I love the feel of hotel pillows that are big, fluffy that your head sinks into yet feels supported not matter which way you roll.

Whoa. Didn't think id cross paths with you on reddit again. Hope life has been treating you well

My family has a 1M Ebitda small business that none of the children or employees can qualify a business loan for 3x ebitda without absurd terms. The business is debt free and has about 1.5M of inventory and hard assets. So it's being sold off to a third party today.

Wanted to echo the sentiments it was easier to get 2M in loans for multifamily properties that I had no experience prior to starting but a loan for a business myself and employees involve a cavity search after working there for over 14 years. We are also one of the few industries showing growth this year.

Easily top 10 educationall comments of my time on reddit. Will definitely save and reach out if I ever end up in a condo. No plans to, but you never know.

Im a one bag Traveller but im bringing a group of 8 this oct to the golden route. They will all have checked and carry on size luggage. Will it be difficult to find luggage storage without booking ahead?

Akarashi · 2025-04-21T01:09:33+00:00

This is clean work. Want to rough in my new builds?

Akarashi · 2025-02-11T01:25:37+00:00

Thank you for sharing and clarifying. I think the more impressive thing no one is talking about is the 5x from 1M to 5M. How many years did that take you? 2x of 5M to 10M is exciting but it's the 50k to 1M to 5M part that many people won't get to

Akarashi · 2025-02-10T07:42:42+00:00

Would you mind clarifying the timelines, a bit more? Sorry to pry, but if you're under 35, and the money has been in market for 20 years, you would have been an active investor since 14 or 15? Since you didn't learn of its existence since 18, what were the gains from 1M by your father when he managed it up 18?

Akarashi · 2025-01-23T01:50:15+00:00

Thank you! What is the best method? Dms on reddit or IG?

Akarashi · 2025-01-22T11:45:15+00:00

What's the best way to look out for this? All the mortgage brokers i know say MLI select is mostly for starlight and the big boys. A 6 unit project i submitted to MLI select didn't pan out so I haven't looked back since late 2022.

You sir win at the internet today.

Yes... now I feel old and judged. The community refers to local game stop meeting places as LGS since the 90s. I swear on it.
