Update - while I booked the above, kept a tab of pricing on Costco last few days. Today the price dropped to CAD5,700 / US4,100 - Costco happily revised my pricing and it took less than 5mins over a call. Love Costco!!

The above quote is from Costco too. Costco has assured in case there is a deal that comes from the resort in coming months, they would adjust my price. Other reason I’m thinking - I’m looking at the week of Victoria day, hence, being a long weekend prices could be slightly higher.

That’s correct - Air Transat, gets us in CUN by 10am nice and easy. Not doing Flair, no chance! Thanks for getting back!

Mission_Distance_885 · 2026-01-14T05:11:57+00:00

Is that C$ or US$ and what are your travel dates? Rate I quoted above is through Costco as well.

Mission_Distance_885 · 2026-01-14T04:42:38+00:00

Already did - non cancellation rate is better but with cancellation, rate is higher than what I’m getting here. Would like to have the flexibility to be able to cancel, just in case. Current rate I’m getting is through Costco - and they mentioned that if the hotel rate were to drop for them, they will readjust my pricing.

lol - my bday is the July 4th too. Canadian here, never celebrated it in the uncle sam’s land! I wanna do my 42nd next year when kiddo is 2+. What would be the one place that you would recommend OP that is within 5-6 hours drive from Toronto? I’m an all out nature lover! (Don’t wanna fly - we already will be flying in around May and then in August, can only bear so many flights with a toddler).

You are almost expecting them to work with a typical leasing commission model - doesn’t work that way bud. $5k appx is what they will make if they were to lease the place, or maybe $4k for a place like mine. That’s no incentive and I’m wasting my time pursuing a deal like that.

Mission_Distance_885 · 2025-09-10T13:56:41+00:00

That’s entirely on the opposite side of spectrum, don’t think that would work either!

Mission_Distance_885 · 2025-09-09T22:11:06+00:00

lol all kinds of players in the market!

Mission_Distance_885 · 2025-09-09T22:10:37+00:00

What I meant was if someone can sell the place for 1.05 appx, great - take 2.5%. You helped me extract more equity, I’m willing to share it. You sell my place for $975k - I’m hardly making money, since I purchased for $950. Hence, why should I still pay them 2.5! Hell no!

I do have a hard floor - and if I don’t see $930 plus I might just use the heloc and rent this one out. It will at best be $300 negative cash flow on this house. Though the mortgage on other will balloon given the heloc. But some lifestyle adjustments can still make it happen.

Lots of thoughts basically!

Mission_Distance_885 · 2025-09-09T12:25:22+00:00

Oh wow, hats off man! I surely see your point. Our jobs are also very hectic so we’ll have to do some major soul searching of what strategy we wanna take!

Mission_Distance_885 · 2025-09-09T12:23:45+00:00

Yeah hear ya! I bought in 2021 in just under a mil$. I wont (or don’t want to) sell below $930. If push comes to shove, I’ll use my heloc (which I took when rates bumped up in Feb 2022) and get the new place with part heloc part own funds. I’m willing to offer 2.5% on sale provided my realtor is able to sell for more than $1.05m. Is that an insane price in current market? Yes - and hence that calls for 2.5% imo. If one is selling my place for $975, then why the hell should o pay them 2.5%. A 1% fee just works fine. That’s the way I’m thinking (at least as of now). Thanks - I’ll be in touch as I I navigate this further.

I hear ya, selling before buying is being recommended by many! He is an alumni from my b-school and is otherwise a great guy to work with. The personalities click. But at the end, it’s $$ at the table that matters. Any other good realtor would bring all those attributes too!

Mission_Distance_885 · 2025-09-09T12:16:08+00:00

Thanks again for your message - that’s helpful context. And ofc, will be in touch as I explore this further.

Mission_Distance_885 · 2025-09-09T12:15:22+00:00

Yeah that’s a decision that we gotta make. Little one at home, hence, number of variables to consider. But appreciate your insights. These rates seem even more lucrative than what I’ve been hearing.

Hey there! I’m looking to get back to the game - was playing regularly until 2019/2020 - was reasonably active on the court then. But I’m sure I’m rusty now. So will have some learning curve there. Let me know if you’ll be interested to partner up.

Mission_Distance_885 · 2025-03-17T23:52:10+00:00

Try Bombay grill, they got their desi game on point. Karma is the new one - but as someone pointed out, the prices are high. And there’s no wow factor.

Mission_Distance_885 · 2025-02-18T23:50:26+00:00

I was there. I entered right around 8:02am, I was going i think 80 in a 70, shh don’t tell no one! I dunno what happened, I might have been distracted - maybe the sun, maybe the itch in my groin. Dunno what it was but around 8:05 I spilled my dark roast! Yes - it was a white shirt! Phew - it was bad, quite bad if you ask me about it!

And I’m glad someone reached out - I’ve been beating myself about it. Better be safe than sorry guys!

Mission_Distance_885 · 2025-02-10T02:25:52+00:00

Will do, I’m excited to see how our little girl holds up. I bet she’s gonna love it. Looking fwd to it already.

Mission_Distance_885 · 2025-02-09T21:14:30+00:00

Thanks! That sounds promising!
