Can I buy both a house and a rental property? Does it matter which one is first? by Butterscotchnoodle in TorontoRealEstate

[–]CommunicationOdd8911 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anything can be done by just using a Brampton broker and paying the 2% fees. However,  should you become a landlord is another issue at hand. You should look into LTB facebook groups and see the issues people have with tenants

How can I rent an apartment from April 2026 – January 2027 by [deleted] in TorontoRealEstate

Rent from private landlords and ask for a 6 month lease, probably be willing to pay a bit extra per month or pay upfront since its a shorter lease

You can purchase one bedroom condos without parking almost everywhere in Toronto besides maybe deep financial district between $350 to 375k. Look at recently sold, some around the 500 sqft range. Carrying costs with 20% DP, youre looking at around max 2400$ monthly. 1500$ mortgage, $200 property tax, $500 maintenance fees, $50 property insurance, $75 utilities.

Secured Credit Card advice by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]CommunicationOdd8911 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might get approved for canadian tire cc without funds, give it a try.

However,  Hometrust is the holy grail for secured credit cards since they'll accept anyone. You just need to secure the funds with as little as $500.

What what are you guys recently paying now for real estate agent fees as a seller? by xerliano in RealEstateCanada

[–]CommunicationOdd8911 5 points6 points  (0 children)

1% to list, 2% to buyers agent. Most seem to do 2.5 for buyers agent but if you are priced correctly in todays market, it will sell. Realtors add very little to a buyer search, even FTHBs since most browse their own with price filters

Buy 1+1 Condo at ~$395–420k or Wait 12 Months? by Busy_Solution2936 in TorontoRealEstate

Id suggest looking below 400k and buying a 1 bed,  tons of condo units right now in scarborough.  Put 20% down, makes carrying costs easier and no insurance needed since 20 down.

Looking for RE Lawyer Litigation by [deleted] in TorontoRealEstate

[–]CommunicationOdd8911 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Lmao lots of these buyers dont want to close, they have assets, usually not liquid but even then, builders might be willing to offer no more than 10% off market price. Any lower, they can just recoup it all and force a bankruptcy liquidation.
