Does anyone know A) the difficulty to diy, B) the cost to hire a contractor to do the work, C) any contractor recommendations? Wall 1 is approximately 10ft x 10ft, wall 2 is approximately 8ft...

I bought a condo unit few months ago this year. Last month, my building management had a contractor to do a fan coil maintenance check. I received an email that said they were doing it, but I wasn't in town by that time. I thought ...

I have a 22 year old 1 bedroom corner unit with a nice view. It's in Downtown. Has 1 parking/1 storage locker.

Is there any advantage to the landlord to rent out each room separately vs renting out the entire condo? Mainly dealing with the risk of the tenant not paying rent and having to deal with the Landlord and Tenantt Board. Someone suggested to rent out the rooms separately, ...

If you own a condo that's paid off and it's current value is $750k - $800k, would you sell it to buy low rise housing instead? The reasons for this would be: 1) condos are much more plentiful and smaller so will never hold value ...

Happy to find this site. I'm cheap and careful with money. I keep hearing that the cross roads of Yonge and Eglinton will be a huge new hub with a subway and lots of development.
