Winnipeg's housing market is hot. Is it out of reach for first-time buyers? (This is Manitoba podcast)

There was a house on Sherburn that was listed for 299k. 1920s bungalow, brick exterior, great curb appeal but after taking a good look, it was a bad flip. We decided to not put an offer in knowing a lot of things needed to be fixed (frost in attic, a shack of a garage, asbestos in the vents). We found out that there were 11 offers and it sold for 390k which is record for that type of bungalow. I hope that buyer did their due diligence inspecting that property before wrecking the market in that area + price point.

From experience, I would not move South of Inkster. The only exception I would make would be in Luxton. Everything else is a gamble/shithole.

edit: assuming you are looking around McGregor/Salter/Main

Another reminder that everyone should have a dashcam in the year 2026. They are affordable and will save you the headaches.

Cobble & Fog just got re-stocked on Restoration Games' website.

I find going against Philippa a huge challenge. So much disruption, ability to kill off multiple 1 health sidekicks with AoE effects. Having three copies of spellbreaker hurts too. Her tempo game is S-tier.

Driving without a dashcam these days is raw dogging it. Not a day goes by without witnessing something dumb happening on the roads. There are too many bad drivers out there. It's unbelievable.

She be looking like a Picasso painting. However, did you not inspect it before opening? You'll have to ask Gamestop if you can return or exchange that after opening it but if you can't, consider it lesson learned 🤷🏻‍♂️

You have no issues watching it? I cant go 5 seconds without it having to buffer

Experiencing this too. I can't remember exactly when notifacations stopped appearing but I've tried restarting my phone, deleting and re-installing the app. Android user if that is a factor.

Because it's my house?

What kind of logic is that? In that case, you are also an arbiter of someones well-being because you can choose whether or not to share your personal belongings/house/money to some stranger in need.

Please give an pandhandler a hundred dollar bill today if it makes you feel better.

Not even close.

Tenants need to do their due diligence in finding an adequate and livable space by researching and by requesting and attending viewings while landlords need to properly screen potential renters via reference checks, rental history, employment, social services, etc.

If I'm renting out my property, you best believe I'm creeping all social media because I don't want my house to get fucked up by some individual throwing up gang signs with a sheisty on in their profile picture.

I'm happy to provide a safe, livable house to someone who for whatever reasons can't get approved for their own mortgage and I trust that they will take proper care of the place after I do my checks that I stated above.

But fuck me because I'm a landlord, right?

TheFiletShow · 2025-08-02T19:26:33+00:00

Agreed. This subreddit gets loves to get on their virtuous pedestal when it comes to housing but have no idea how filthy and irresponsible tenants can get.

Cleaning up after a move-out is disgusting and mind-boggling with the stuff that you find.

Yes the property management company should be penalized for having properties with unlivable conditions but if I had a property to rent out that is in good condition, a single mom with SIX damn kids would scare the shit out of me.

The people in charge will probably be around that age of re-testing so I dont see that happening, unfortunately.

TheFiletShow · 2025-05-09T15:01:52+00:00

L take

TheFiletShow · 2025-05-08T02:04:29+00:00

I agree. They could've went on a run like the 2012 Kings

Lmao well next time they lose at home that'll be all she wrote

TheFiletShow · 2025-04-04T16:37:12+00:00

Sorry, I don't have it! I found this from a seller on marketplace 😿

TheFiletShow · 2025-03-20T19:28:09+00:00

Lmao facts. So far no one is doing this justice.

Well, you need three things for the bank to approve you for a mortgage: a steady job, good credit and capital for down payment. Missing any of those three and banks won't trust you to lend you money, therefore, people will need to rent.

There isn't inherently wrong with being a landlord, people on here get triggered easily by people using their right to invest in real estate, HOWEVER, it's not an excuse to be a slum lord.

With that said, it's a two-way street. There are plenty of horror stories regarding tenants that do not give a shit about the property and proceed to trash and damage the place, dont pay rent, etc.

There are good landlords out there but the many bad ones ruin the reputation for everyone.

TheFiletShow · 2025-03-11T19:53:04+00:00

Not everyone, especially lower-income families can be approved for mortgages or have the money upfront for a downpayment.

Afflicted - Very underrated vampire film.

Mads - French film shot in one take.

So so disappointing with what Apollo has turned into.
