I haven’t watched the video yet, but I would recommend drawing up a quarter inch equals 1 inch scale floorplan and then creating quarter inch equals 1 foot scale cut outs of your major furniture pieces. You might find out that a bed won’t squeeze into a bedroom! And you can see how furniture layout might be easy or impossible. Consultant architecture student to analyze the floor plan if you aren’t familiar with how to do that. Pay them $100 and they’ll jump for glee!

The solution to condo issues is called a "detached single family ranch" where you OWN your home (not a hunk of someone else's building you don't control) and OWN the land under it. Condo living is completely vulnerable and not just to collapse from lack of maintenance.

It would make a great small house plan to. I don't like the master bathroom/wardrobe I'd swap them around but other size it's great

Got a question regarding capital gain tax. If I rented out an investment property, and decide to move back in after a few years and make it as my principle residence(working in Toronto, rental is in Van), am I exempt from the Capital Gain Tax?

I will make one alternation: install a secret door in the master walk-in that takes you out to the laundry room. This way you wouldn't have to get changed and then sneak back into the bedroom in order to leave 1:51

You own nothing, it all belongs to government, if you owned it you couldn't lose it.

The entry is very small and there is no where to sit down. As you get older you need a seat for putting on, taking off shoes. I really don't like a bathroom coming right off the dining room where you are eating. I live in a one bedroom condo, that is around 600 sq feet and I love the floor plan I have.

I love the floor plan too but I would prefer to have the access to den be from the dining area rather than the foyer. Having to go through the foyer every time I want to go in the den would be strange for me.

At least the toilets arent right next to the tub or shower...its so much more hygienic & just a cleaner bathing area! My opinion.

Why oh why do builders continually out the toilet smack dab next to the bath tub? If there is spce enough between thm to put a chail or partition...something...its not so bad. Put the toilet away from the tub. They do 2 total different things one you clean yourself in the other you do yucky things in....you would think good hygiene would have been higher up on the ladder than saving money...just saying.

cash for keys works the best. Rules are for the people who love to fight

If you don't mover they are give up more money how this for gov not for them

There are only three widows? My townhouse has 7 windows. The sunlight is so necessary to me.

A toilet right off of the dining room?

AFAIK, you have to give them 4 months AFTER you got a permit. That is a long time.

I bought a two bedroom condo a few years ago in preparation for retirement that has a similar layout to this one minus the patio which I really wish it had. Other than that it is perfect. Built in 2007, it has the two bedrooms at opposite ends of the unit which is perfect. I've had people come visit and never even see or hear them some days since I get up early to go to work and go to bed early. Other things to consider when purchasing a condo, I got a ground level unit that faces north so it stays naturally cool in the summer. Also, I don't have to rely on an elevator since they do break occasionally.

Excellent condo !!

NDP leftists will run the economy down to the dumps !

How about we stop treating housing like an investment and like a utility? Go earn your profits in the stock market, not on the backs of people priced out of securing their own long-term housing because of these "investors". Your home is supposed to be the place you live, not a money-making venture. Long-term appreciation that may benefit your heirs is an obvious bonus, but shouldn't ever have been the goal of buying a place to sleep at night.

Having to walk through the bathroom to reach the closet is a non-starter for me. Also having the hall bath right there off the dining room. Yuk.

Being a landlord sucks. But I’m forever grateful to my landlord for subsidizing my stock portfolio! His house is worth less than what he paid for it while my investments have doubled! Sorry that you housing guys all got rekt 😂😂😂

Kibosh on the walk in closet beyond the bathroom.

Utter Tosh!! Having to walk through the bathroom .. to a walk in closet/robe .. is a complete deal-breaker. No one who values their 'threads' would want that. Just sayin' ...

Interesting vid. Been shopping for my first home over the past year and looked at enough floor plans (freestanding houses, not apartments) and man .. Some people just should NOT be architects. Lots of shockingly bad designs, and often such that once built, there's really no way to remedy them.

7:00 There SHOULDNT be any "creativity" needed to get your property back to your own use. Otherwise I would call it as a violation of my right to quite enjoyment of my property by legislation of NDP/Lib. Sad but, its votes we are talking here. Not tenants, not people.

Not enough storage at all. Office is waist of space, so is the laundry room. Not enough windows, lots if condos lack windows....fact is lots of darker area's is very common in condos.

Just stupid MP trying to get renters' votes. It is strictly political moves. Eviction takes 1 to 2 years as it stands in Toronto. 120 days is salt to the wound.

Bro, makes some videos on inventory, sales, and your projections. You are awesome

The bathroom opens from the dining room? Ick.

It's a nice layout but it has three major problems. 1. No cross ventilation. No window in study. 3. Dining room right next to bathroom. I prefer a shotgun plan with cross ventilation.

Just separate current owner occupancy vs buyer occupancy rules

that is some garbage lmao, telling me what i can and can't do with my own property

It's 4 months notice AFTER you've already received all permits. So from the date you're ready to go, you're basically waiting an extra 4 months waiting for the tenant to leave.

NDP, failed party in failed province?

Sorry I don't quite understand what happens in situations in which you are selling the unit with the tenant in place? Is it still 60 days + any time after the first of the month?

I was considering renting out my basement suite as a long term rental but these potential changes have made me reconsider. I think I'll be furnishing it and keeping it in the STR pool instead.

If you are selling, just because you give notice for 120 days does not mean you must hold your closing off for 120 days. It just means the buyer will inherit that tenant until the conclusion of notice period. It also means they'd get the rent between the closing date and the end of the notice period. It's a challenge to be sure, but not necessarily a deal breaker.

2 months is not enough. When somebody lives in an area, their children are going to the local school, their workplace might be nearby. The minimum should be 4 months. Do not invest in residential real estate if money is all you care about and you do not have any empathy for people. Go buy stocks or commercial real estate

6:48 gee Maybe these new rules are result of the greed of landlords in the past pulling these stunts? Just spitballing here

Well done Steve: Investors need to always keep in mind an exit plan. 120 days is severely problematic for many reasons.

Condos are hitting the market fast and furious! Book a call: calendly.com/stevekarrasch

Great content. Thank you.

You have to walk through the bathroom to get to the closet in the Master Suite. Not very convenient.

Why would you want your master bedroom door right next to the kitchen and living room?

Very informative Btw are you looking for video editor?

Indeed, it's a nice layout I'd enjoy living in.

Agree its a good plan if you want an open kitchen to loving room

Personally im just riding this market out. Ill think about selling in 2028.

Settling down as a ten year resident of Whalley to see what’s got everyone so upset over the neighbourhood. 😂 and figuring it’s gunna be a bunch of pearl clutchers.

Why do I want cooking smells to permeate my home?
