This post is time sensitive, with implications for your mortgage, cashflow, and credit for April - Sept 2020, all due to Covid-19.

 I am not a medical professional.  I know NOTHING about health.  There are hundreds of news stories out there about Covid-19.  Many more about government actions.  About social distancing.  This is NOT one of those posts.  It should also be noted, that as with everything Covid, the situation is fluid and changing.

 The federal government announced the Covid-19 Mortgage Payment Deferral Program.  Essentially freeing up extra cash flow for mortgage holders NOW, in the middle of the outbreak.  The best page directly from the government describing the program…

안녕하세요,

요즘 모두들 코로나바이러스로 힘드시죠?

활동 제한으로 직장과 사업체 그리고 아이들 학교까지 모든게 마비되고 있습니다.

최근 부동산 협회에서는 저희 리얼터들과 고객 사이에 각별히 주의 하라고 지시 했습니다.

사무실 방문 제한, 외부에서 미팅 제한, 이동시 각자의 차량 이용, 매물 방문 제한, 오픈하우스 제한등...

여러모로 불편하시겠지만 협조 부탁 드립니다.

하루빨리 이 사태가 수습이 되기를 바래 봅니다.

고객님들 모두 건강하시고 잘지내세요!

아래 링크는 저희 협회사 마련한 체크리스트 입니다. 각자 숙지해주시기를 부탁 드립니다.

The Government Has Made Changes

In the government's never ending attempt to influence the market, control risks to the larger economy (bubbles in Vancouver / Toronto), spur / restrict the economy, encourage home ownership, fund budgets (BC speculator tax), and otherwise create headaches for people wanting to buy, this is a list of the changes wrought to the mortgage industry in the last decade:

No matter what you think of snakes, you must agree that they have a unique way of dealing with worn-out skin. When the time comes, they simply shed it — like an old jacket — revealing a fresh new skin underneath. 

Your home's roof doesn't have that advantage! So, when the shingles wear out or become damaged, you need to have them replaced. 

Unfortunately, it's not always easy to determine whether your shingles need replacement right away, or whether you can hold off for another year. Assuming your home has the most common type of shingles — asphalt — here's what to look for:  • Corners upturned on some shingles.  • Missing shingles.  • Shingles lifting during high winds and not settling back into place (flat) within a day or two.  •…

4 Spring Cleaning Tips to Keep Your House Sparkling

Planning a little spring cleaning this season? Here are some tips to help:

Many people complain about condo fees, without fully understanding WHAT condo fees actually are, what they do, or how they are calculated.  Let's review a few of these before deciding if the fees are "bad".

What are Condos First, a condominium is a form of group ownership. When you buy an apartment (lets say 100 units, all same size), you are not only buying your individual condo, but a type of real estate that makes you a PARTIAL owners in the ENTIRE building.  In the 100 unit example, you become a 1% in EVERYTHING, for better and for worse.   In real life, we typically break down the fees by the size of the units, with larger units paying more.
