Tenanted Suites

November 2, 2009 By

Many owners of investment property may be unaware of the ins and outs of the new BC Residential Tenancy Act, which has been recently updated.

Mold: A Very Serious Problem

April 16, 2009 By

Frequently check for evidence of mold and be … [Read more...]

The New Rental Market

November 23, 2008 By

We've been talking about the changes in the market and the need for rental reductions to reflect this situation. Here's an example. Some recent Kitsilano Heritage house short term tenants have just rented a one bedroom apartment fully furnished (for long term) and equipped on the 23rd floor of a fairly new building close to the Beach Crescent neighbourhood in downtown. The suite has sweeping views etc. for $1600 a month utilities included! This price is indicative of where the market is … [Read more...]

Why are higher end rental suites in Vancouver bringing in fewer people per viewing? At Downtown Suites we offer many condos and apartments in today’s rental market. We have seen that the higher end suites ranging from $2000 per month and more are bringing in fewer people per viewing.

We have … [Read more...]

Yesterday’s Showings

October 8, 2008 By

I had 2 showings yesterday for Downtown Suites. The first suite I showed was a penthouse suite on West 12th and Granville. I met with the gentleman and his friend and we took a look at the suite.

The couple looked around all the rooms and gave their input saying that the place was great as far as space, but it was … [Read more...]
