Using borrowed money to purchase securities with more borrowed money. Using the dividend payments for the carrying charges. I sure hope you have additional cash for those pesky margin calls. I trust it's a trade and not a strategy. I have seen people get wiped out and brokers sued using...

I would think it's much cheaper for the builder to build out a walk in closet than it is to put a shower stall in the bathroom. I still think the ensuite in a 1b +D and a separate shower stall is better for resale than a walk in closet. Ask a few realtors for their experiences.

I would think a 4 piece ensuite washroom is a great feature not expected in a 1b+ d. As for closet space, you can buy an exterior closet from IKEA as your bedroom is wide enough to accomodate. Why would anyone pay additional funds to a builder to eliminate a shower in lieu of a closet. I...

They will have enough votes to win....and appoint someone from their organization. This way they get to control costs for the 1st year cause they have a vested interest with all the units still in inventory. On another note, stopped by my unit today and saw the winter carpeting in the...

You are suprised? I guess that's why many condo's are installing camera's in the common areas. This is the reason I am for added security rather than letting people roam the areas unmonitored. Good luck on getting a board position. The builder gets a vote for every unit unsold in their...

The standard laminate in my unit is nothing special. Except for the durability, there is nothing good to say about laminate. It's cheap and spongy when walking on it.

Exactly what I was thinking. If you place a TV in that spot, make sure to get blinds that block out the sun. Good luck with the space.

Interesting floor plan with the doors on either side cutting off your walls. If you are open to placing the TV in the top left corner with a stand, I think you can arrange your furniture easily and allow for maximum flow and not break up the room. I would then place a sofa on the right wall...

Good advice. Maybe I will ask the person nicely next time to stop carving their initials in the elevator.........yeah right!

LOL! The dog in the parking garage was doing something else! I guess it's part of the package with condo living. Some neighbours are just not considerate.

Not so sure about the concrete walls. My friend bought three units in this building and was suprised when two of them had concrete walls. They were in such poor condition (pitted and stained) that he drywalled over them before renting. The third unit was drywalled by the builder. All three...

just learned from my real estate agent that the builder has been selling units from its stock of inventory from $520 per foot to $560 per ft depending on unit size and floor (not including parking). Not sure where he got this info but I suspect Milbourne has them on the MLS. I thought units in...

hardwood floors can be done for less. Remember, to ask them to leave the floor concrete. kitchen backsplash can be done later. Plumbing in the shower cannot be done later without destroying the tile in the bathtub unless you have access from the back. If your plumber hooks it up incorrectly...

I was recently told they are hoping to have the building registered in January

you were the one with the 'big brother' line! I'm for more security not less security. There are many buildings with little or no security and we both know what they look like and the type of residents living there. I lived in a building with no camera's and no fob system. $20K in...

Let's take away the fob entry system, the security camera in the elevators, camera's in the parking garage, and let's get rid of the security guard at the front door. Your condo will look like an apartment building within a year. At the same time, the value of your condo will fall...

Why bother replying to someone that starts a sentence with 'Dude'

What's to disagree with? If you live on the 10th floor why do you want access to the 15th floor? I think the security is necessary not so much to restrict access to residents as it is to restrict access to visitors. Weekend drunk visitors can do alot of damage to the hallways and disturbe...
