I purchased a brand new 4 bed / 4 bath row home (non strata) in Garrison Crossing (Chilliwack on the Vedder River) 8 months ago for $485,000 + tax and it rents for $2500 per month.
Another investor bought 2 and rents them for $2650 so I may have sold myself short.
Great new developments with...
Thank you Thomas, I thought I was missing something with all the comments about buying as many as possible. I would love to stay with single family and townhouses but the wall is already looming so I suppose I will need to learn new tricks in the near future.
Any recommendations for good...
Is someone able to share the magic secret of being able to qualify for as many mortgages as you possibly can? I've only been in the business for a few years; have 3 properties and a healthy, stable career/income yet I see big road blocks in my near future for qualifying for residential...

From the research I've done, There are some great pockets in Chilliwack and vacancy rates are very low. Rental rates are obviously lower then those in metro...
Like most cities; there are areas to buy in and areas to avoid in both Surrey and Chilliwack.
As for the pre-build, I purchased to hold the property Long term. There are positives and negatives to pre-builds but I knew the market in south delta was likely only going up when I bought it because...
I spent a considerable amount of time looking at investment properties in Surrey, specifically along the proposed LRT line on Fraser Hwy and had a challenging time finding something where the numbers worked... I even considered pre-build townhouses.
I ended up purchasing a new build in...

Thought I'd pass this article along for anyone interested in North East BC. Still some potential for those with gambling blood.... But I think I'd hold off until some ground breaks on some of the larger...
