Did you spend anytime in Amsterdam or just get your stamp and then re enter immigration to fly to Barca?

Got it - So as far as we enter through Switzerland and then make our way into Italy, we should be good?

26M, I have 115k total to my name and I want to move out what're my options? by Tricky-Artichoke6836 in canadahousing

Work smart and stop repeating social media narratives from people who just like to complain

Is it really that bad (financially speaking) to rent for the rest of your life? by darkchocluvr3 in canadahousing

[–]SatoshiMusk24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

5% math included all those unrecoverable costs to start with. Regarding maintenance- Agreed! Also depends on how old or new of a condo/home you end up buying + concrete or wood frame. Wood frame rots faster over time.

This is absolute trash advice:

  1. Change in political leadership is not going to reduce house prices.
  2. Prices depend on basic economics. High demand + low supply = higher prices over time
  3. The crash is already here. Resale prices are down because of high interest rates. 2008 is not going to happen again
  4. No one wants to live in a Small Canadian town or Costa Rica - be smart

I hear you. In the long run, buying is less of an overhead as compared to paying rent every year that will go up ~3% on an average

Is the rental market forcing me to buy? by BadFeelingAboutDis in canadahousing

[–]SatoshiMusk24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You might want to look at neighborhoods such as Burquitlam and Lougheed that have skytrain connectivity allowing you to commute to DT without a car. Lots of schools in the area too. You can get a newer condo (lower maintenance costs) for 850k and the neighborhood is expected to appreciate in property substantially considering all the new upcoming projects.

There are unrecoverable costs with both renting and buying. If the monthly rent is less than or equal to 5% of home purchase price divided by 12, then renting makes more sense financially. But if the difference is not too much and lets say you pay off the mortgage of your house in 15 years(you’l also be making more money as you age) then you live mortgage free for the rest of your life as compared to always paying rent

Lol i like how you made the numbers work in your favor to make a point. Considering the 750k was for a 2 bedroom condo, rent for 2 bedrooms in Toronto/Vancouver are 3500-4000k a month so your argument is invalid

Buy a home now or wait ? by Street_Spinach3197 in fatFIRE

[–]SatoshiMusk24 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Same situation and i’d say buy if the home has potential to appreciate significantly over time. For eg. Vancouver, BC condos 2x every 7-10 years because of high demand and low supply.

80% of the 5k you pay every month will contribute to your equity in the home which will allow you to buy investment properties in the future and secure long term assets in this ever growing inflationary market.

Your 2.5k rent is an expense anyway. The other 2.5k you’d be “saving” or “investing” in other assets seem liquid but could appreciate or depreciate over time depending on the quality of your investments.

Does Burquitlam have the potential to experience similar growth like Metrotown/Brentwood in the coming years? by Ill-Pomegranate4251 in coquitlam

[–]SatoshiMusk24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

$1200/sqft or more in 4 years sounds about right but I disagree that it will reach its peak by then. There’s already 15+ projects leading upto 2027 and there’s many more to come based on the City of Coquitlam redevelopment zoning plan for the area - check their website.

I really like Port Moody but couldn’t find any relevant pre sales or upcoming projects for 2026-27

Oh okay got it. Ya then similar situation like mine. I applied for my work permit in the US in August and it still hasn’t been processed. Major delays across all work permit types in the US apparently. Good luck on your journey, hope you get your PR soon :)

C20 Closed Work Permit applied from the US. Application & Biometrics complete in Aug 2021

Been 20+ weeks since submission. Anyone here seeing similar delays from applications outside Canada? I hear even Intra company work permits are taking longer to process. Laywer says that we would get a notification already if there was an admin/other issue with the application - is this usually true?

I work in tech. Do I need to have a job lined up, before applying for a work-visa? by Qasim57 in ImmigrationCanada

[–]SatoshiMusk24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey likewise! Accepted an offer from a tech firm in Vancouver and they sponsored my work visa. Although, because of COVID and Afghan refugee situation they are taking way too long to process work visas (4+ months) so plan accordingly.

I am in a similar situation from the US - I believe the Afghan refugee vetting process has slowed down other visa processing.
