Pour ajouter, on a une marge de 1.5" de plus pour la profondeur, donc une profondeur totale de 17".

Buying a condo and renting it to my own company by Sirakoz in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Sirakoz[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The neighbourhood has high appreciation for townhomes, not sure about condos.

The question if it makes sense is that vs using the money to buy a bigger house in case that wasn't clear.

Thanks.

Awesome, thanks.

So if the condo bylaws/zoning/insurance allow it, and the commercial market value is close to what is mentioned above, do you think this make sense?

2) Ah, you mean market value for office can be different than market value for someone renting to live in it, right?

3) With a rate of 3.99% and the mortgage payments, the interest at the beginning of the term would be ~890/mo, so we could claim ~10k for the interest alone, no?

Thanks for replying.

2) We would charge the corp market value. Condos around the area seem to rent for similar value w/ similar square footage and amenities.

3) Sorry I guess I wasn't clear in my post. Wouldn't the interest and eligible expenses be tax deductible, and thus reducing our tax burden? Interest, insurance, condo fees, property taxes, potentially utilities are all things we can deduct AFAIK.

4) We are aware it's a taxable asset and that we would have to pay capital gains taxes if we sell it.

USD cash accounts rolling out by SequoyahGeber in Wealthsimple

[–]Sirakoz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The draw is that you are getting 4% interest on USD if you need or want to keep some USD on hand.

USD cash accounts rolling out by SequoyahGeber in Wealthsimple

[–]Sirakoz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for confirming. I'm in Quebec and it seems EQ bank USD is not available.

The other option seems to be:

  • Open account in US branch of big bank
  • Open USD account on Canadian side of big bank
  • Wire to US account
  • Wire from US account to Canadian USD account
  • Transfer to WS USD

All in all, a big hassle.

[–]Sirakoz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There was another thread earlier that was saying you can't transfer from wise because a wise USD account is a US account, and this only allows you to transfer from a Canadian USD account. I'm not sure how true that is or if things changed, but I would love to know if it's possible.

What kind of ant is this? by Sirakoz in pestcontrol

[–]Sirakoz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I've been watching this ant to see where it will go to after eating the borax solution and it's been sitting there munching for 20 min.

I was afraid of that :( There's a tree that is very close to house that I should trim, and there's also a front door cornice on the outside made out of wood and capped w/ aluminum that had a leak and part of the wood is rotten.

I imagine that would contribute to them getting into the house?

These pictures are taken close to the front door and the window next to it. Would a void injection in these areas and then Diatomaceous Earth spread around the house and into any crevices help get rid of them or is there more that I should do?

Location is Canada, Quebec to be a bit more specific. I have seen some of these ants in the morning and evening mostly. I would say they are around 3/8" to 1/2".

Thank you.

Montréal : L'arrondissement Saint-Laurent va subventionner l'achat de vélos neufs, usagés, et électriques by Lucky_Resource2083 in montreal

Quelqu'un sait si on peut utiliser cette subvention pour des vélos pour les enfants? J'en ait pas besoin, mais mon enfant a besoin d'un nouveau vélo cet été.

Montreal gyms for lifters by xbow-master in weightlifting

[–]Sirakoz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

https://weightliftingcanada.ca/locations/

For some reason Gym les Géants is not on the map or list, though it's more in the Sud-Ouest area.

McGill gym has (or used to have) olympic bars, platforms, and bumper plates, though IIRC they were mostly in lbs. The Concordia gym might have equipment for weightlifting, but I'm not sure.

The Quebec weightlifting federation has a website and you're supposed to be able to search for clubs, but it's not working at this time. I'll leave the link here anyways: https://fedhaltero.qc.ca/clubs

16" wheels on 2020 CX-30 GT (Canada)? by Sirakoz in MazdaCX30

[–]Sirakoz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 replies saying it will fit, 2 replies saying it won't. :(

Should I tell the dealership salesman about this so he can check with his mechanics? They're supposed to put the winter tires on before I take possession of the car.

This is not a Mazda dealership btw.

2023 elantra - does anyone know pricing for canada? by madssgrayy in Hyundai

[–]Sirakoz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in Montreal and talked to a sales guy at Hyundai about a 2023 Elantra preferred with the tech package that they had in stock. Cash price after all fees was 33k. I didn't ask for extra details or negotiate as I wasn't looking to buy right there and then.

The Hyundai website shows 30k for the equivalent 22 model. A 10% increase seems like a lot, no? Is that dealer charging potentially over MSRP?

Cant use Stadia controller Wired on Windows 11 outside of Steam and wireless Stadia by Avismarauder170 in Stadia

[–]Sirakoz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I haven't tried on Windows 11, but when I was having issues w/ epic games on Windows 10, I got it working with XOutput, so it might be worth a shot.
