You're in Sylvan? Rent it. Rig hands are shitty with finances but like having nice things, take care of shit… so they wind up renting instead of buying. Just make sure they sign a lease… you'll make on the market down there; just make sure you've got enough to cover both mortgages for a few months if you need too, and that you've got a slush fund to cover the incidentals in a timely manner.

Congrats. I've started saving towards my first down payment. I figure it will be a couple years out still, but my that time we should know about a big project that my company owns, which will be a major decision in where I buy.

That's the problem with cities, they're refuges for the weak, the fish that didn't evolve.

I don't want to google this - sounds like a thing that NSMB will be better at.

$359,000

Hope they accept the offer..we offered the asking price but asked for several extras to be included. We love the house,it's in a great neighborhood,and it is on a close so there won't be alot of traffic/noise

At that price it ain't in Vancouver proper.

Now do we rent our current home or sell the thing?

We had the same discussion just before our deal closed on the 15th. Especially since we may have to move in say 7 years due to job change… meaning get hired by different uni. We will rent out the house as there is always need here in Kingston for rental places between the base and various other government facilities here.

Well, given that an empty lot in Kits, sized and zoned for single-family detached, would fetch 1.4 millz … yep.

Nice looking place but I couldn't stand having the neighbours house right close like that though.

In other news, we finally got an offer of the non-insulting variety on our old place.

Though we did get a surprise as the old hot water tank gave in only 5 days before subjects set to be removed. Just spent 2 1/2 hours crammed under a staircase, sandwiched between 1000 cobwebs and a dank, damp concrete floor forcing the stupid new tank into a space that just barely fit. Actually, we had to remove a few pipes and chunks of wood to get the f**ker into place.

It'll be very nice not to be a 2-house land baron any longer.
