Why? I doubt he feels bad for selling you something that isn't going to generate the return you want.

I'll echo the sentiment here. No investment should keep you up at night, real estate or not. If it does, you've exceeded your risk tolerance and no ethical investment advisor would suggest you proceed.

Under section 73 of the Condominium Act, 1998, the 10 day rescission period does not begin until the Purchaser receives a copy of the Disclosure Statement, the contents of which are set out in section 72. Once they are in receipt of same, the 10 day clock starts to run and includes weekends and...

Winthrop is spamming.

Yes, you get 10 days.

This sounds shady. He's either unable or unwilling to fully disclose the details, yet wants you to hand over a substantial amount of money and commit to a legal agreement. Think of it this way - if I told you I had a really hot stock tip, but couldn't get into how I know the stock will go up...

1. No, the builder pays the agent. 2. There will be closing costs, development levies, and phantom mortgage to consider off the top. Your agent should be telling you about these. Your questions make me think you are really, really new at this and makes me nervous that you'd be so willing to...

Not harsh. They were trying to be clever, and in doing so, made a technical error. It wouldn't be acceptable in any publication, much less a "local" paper like The Star.

"NEWYEAROFFER" is spamming.

I think all the white window coverings mandated by condo rules all over the city will lighten up the windows as well.

It's that stupid "Hands Up" one. Groan.

I think a lawyer will only review the contract to suggest amendments, but it's up to you to get them from the builder, who then has to draft the wording.

Excellent points. Sorry to hear you had such a bad experience though.

The back of the kitchen island is made of 3 different panels of wood and it looks obvious. That level of finishing should not be acceptable at $2 million. The master bathroom is nice - can't say I've ever seen a bidet in a condo before. But overall, there isn't much that's special about the...

Walls separating units are usually concrete. Interior walls (dividing rooms) are usually hollow with metal studs.

Excellent points. Torontonians need to get over obsessing with square footage because the numbers aren't important if the space isn't usable. With the anticipated supply of condos coming to market in the next 2-3 years, buyers are going to have their pick of units. You're better off getting a...

A den with a dimension of 4-feet-something doesn't qualify as a "room" - it's barely an alcove. The bedroom closets are also small - that small closet in the second bedroom is about the width of a toilet.

Target has a problem. Its name is Target Amid a frenzy of publicity that the popular U.S. department store Target is scouting for locations in Canada, a Target store has quietly opened its doors in an unlikely location – Nanaimo, B.C. Another Target is scheduled to open soon in Sudbury, Ont...
