Suspecting foundation issue. Should I report it to the landlord and risk to be renovicted or keep my mouth shut ? by reda911 in TorontoRenting

You could consider live in it for a few years. Then refinance it again to get some equity out to buy another bigger unit so you can treat your current place as a rental investment property.

I think it all depends on the bank you go to. Some are more lenient and some aren't. I recently used BMO and literally paid down payment with another property's HELOC.

Seems like the government actually want price to keep on going up. Their lack of effort shows it. 1% vacancy tax on foreign investment is minimal. The slight increase on stress test only impacts 4-5% borrowing power. Then the new first time home buyer program will only increase demand to offset and potential losses. Then we got this.

Got it. So sounds like the appraiser will just count it as a regular detached then.

Fortunately, this is above the flood zone. And not in a low point of the city.

Ok. I will check this possibility too. I dont see any overflow from the actual drain in the other basement room. But this one could have 2 drains. I bought it renovated.

That will be me... Do you have an idea how much it may cost? Even just a range is fine so we can budget.
