Start with Defense: If you don't have a plan for your money, the world does—and it's not in your favor. Avoid the common debt traps and play strong financial defense. 2. Harness Compounding Early: Investing early in your career gives you the “power of 16”—money invested at age 22 can multiply 16 times by retirement, but that power halves every decade you wait. 3. Gamify Your Finances: Treat your financial journey like a game—learn the rules, avoid the traps, and celebrate small wins to build lasting wealth and peace of mind. Notable Quotes “If you don't have a plan for your money, the world has a plan for your money—and it's coming for you.” “Instant gratification lasts a day, but financial wellness is gratifying every day.” “Money is overwhelming for most people, but if you just know a few simple rules, you can take confident action and watch your money grow.” Connect with Scott Yamamura: financialepiphany.com

HOAs and Condo associations have grown to be a big part of the American housing landscape over the last 50 years. In 2025, the Maryland general assembly passed a new law requiring independent third-party elections of HOA/condo boards and the City of Gaithersburg left Montgomery County's Commission on Common Ownership Communities. Sunil Dasgupta talks with Gaithersburg councilmembers Neil Harris and Yamil Hernandez, themselves experienced HOA officials, about how they are thinking of a new regulatory regime.

Buying a condo is different from purchasing a single-family home, and it's important to understand the unique considerations involved. Here's a comprehensive list of what you should know before buying a condo:1. Understand What You're BuyingOwnership: With a condo, you own the interior of your unit, but share ownership of common areas (lobby, pool, gym, etc.) with other residents.HOA (Homeowners Association): This governing body manages shared areas and enforces rules.2. Evaluate the HOAFees: Ask for the current monthly fees and whether they're likely to increase.What's Included: See what the fees cover (e.g., water, insurance, maintenance, amenities).Reserve Fund: Check if the HOA has a healthy reserve fund for unexpected repairs.Rules and Bylaws: Review pet policies, rental restrictions, noise rules, and renovation limitations.Meeting Minutes: Request past meeting minutes to identify ongoing disputes, major projects, or complaints.3. Financial Health of the BuildingSpecial Assessments: Are there upcoming or recent one-time fees for big repairs?Delinquency Rate: A high number of owners not paying dues can be a red flag.Insurance Coverage: Confirm that the building has proper insurance coverage (you'll need your own unit insurance too).4. Location and Building ConditionLocation: Evaluate the neighborhood, proximity to work/public transit, schools (if relevant), and future development.Building Age and Maintenance: Older buildings may need major upgrades; review recent renovations (roof, elevators, HVAC).Noise and Privacy: Check unit positioning and wall/floor sound insulation.5. Unit-Specific ConsiderationsHOA Restrictions on Renovations: Can you remodel the kitchen? Change flooring?Storage and Parking: Confirm assigned parking, storage lockers, bike racks, etc.Utilities: Understand what utilities are included and how they're billed.Views and Natural Light: Are there any plans to build next door that could block your view?6. Legal and Resale AspectsTitle and Liens: Ensure there are no legal issues tied to the unit or HOA.Resale Value: Check sales trends in the building; talk to a local agent about demand for similar condos.Occupancy Rate: Higher owner-occupancy rates often mean better-maintained buildings.7. FinancingLender Requirements: Not all lenders finance condos easily—make sure the condo is on their approved list.Warrantable vs. Non-Warrantable: Some buildings are considered riskier (too many renters, lawsuits, etc.) and may need special financing.8. Inspections and DisclosuresProfessional Inspection: Even if the HOA handles exterior maintenance, get an inspection for internal systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC).Disclosures: Review all seller-provided documents carefully—especially HOA disclosures and financials.tune in and learn at  https://www.ddamortgage.com/blogdidier malagies nmls#212566dda mortgage nmls#324329 Support the show

The Toronto condo market is shifting fast—and not in a good way for small landlords. With sky-high interest rates, poor rental yields, and construction costs that don't pencil out, the old condo ownership model is breaking down. Condos were once a slam-dunk investment, but now it seems like purpose-built rentals are taking over. So let's explore what this means for real estate investors, end users, and future buyers. Whether you're holding, selling, or just watching from the sidelines, let's talk about what's coming next.Watch this podcast on YouTube: https://youtu.be/uYAegma99zYSchedule a 15-minute appointment to chat with me here: https://www.broadviewavenue.ca/appointmentsDownload our guides here:How to Ask Your Parents For Help: https://www.broadviewavenue.ca/family-support-for-fthbThe Toronto Professional's Guide to Real Estate Investing: https://www.broadviewavenue.ca/guide-download▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬Subscribe now to keep updated for more information.If you want to chat with us, do the following:1.

In this episode of the Missing Middle podcast, mortgage broker Ron Butler sits down with conservative pundit Sabrina Maddeaux and economist Mike Moffatt to discuss the current crisis in the Toronto condo market. Ron outlines the vast scope of the problem stemming from pre-construction purchases made during a speculative boom. He explains how investors are facing significant losses as property values decline, while also addressing the broader implications of poor development choices and the lack of low-rise housing options. The conversation explores the role of government in addressing these issues and the potential for positive change in the housing market.Chapters00:00 Introduction Ron Butler01:06 Outlining the Toronto condo market crisis04:07 How much of this story is a Toronto and Vancouver story?05:22 Never go cash-flow negative?07:01 How do we have a glut of condos during a housing shortage?09:51 How condo developers contributed to the crash12:13 Who is Most Affected by the Crisis?14:00 Financing challenges and future outlook15:33 The perfect storm - purpose-built rentals17:18 Government subsidized rentals18:13 The greenbelt and Downview Airport land19:39 Is this the Toronto bubble burst?

Affordable housing continues to dominate the national conversation—and yet, no level of government seems to have cracked the code. In today's episode of The Vancouver Life, we're taking this issue into our own hands. Following our most-commented video ever, where we introduced a series of bold ideas to bring truly affordable, ownership-based housing to Canadians, we're back with more. Many responded with sharp criticism, valid points, and even better ideas. It inspired us to expand on the original concept, now tentatively called The Dan Plan, and crowdsource even more solutions from our community. With over 10,000 viewers tuning in weekly, if even 1% of you contribute, that's 100 new ideas we can compile into a living document—and present directly to government contacts with the goal of influencing real policy change.The 'Dan Plan' includes removing development cost charges and developer profit margins by having government step in as the builder, offering 0% interest construction loans, and fast-tracking approvals. For buyers, it proposes radical affordability measures: zero down payment, no GST, no property transfer tax, and even no annual property tax for qualifying homes. These changes, if implemented, would reduce the barrier to homeownership by a huge amount—immediately. This isn't about building a few thousand affordable rentals years from now. This is about creating affordable homes people can own and build wealth with today. And while the plan isn't perfect, it's meant to start a conversation—and we want you to be part of it. Share your ideas in the comments, and we'll refine and present the best of them to government officials.In addition to the affordability push, we highlight a rare real estate opportunity happening right now in Surrey. The Belvedere, a just-completed concrete high-rise, is offering homes at 25% below their original list price. Despite showing “sold out” online, approximately 70 units are being released under this promotion, with prices starting at $721 per square foot. Appraisals are reportedly coming in $90,000 higher than the discounted prices, making this one of the most compelling condo deals in the Lower Mainland. Financing is expected to be smoother with these valuations, and we anticipate a swift sell-out. To learn more or get access, visit condoday.ca or reach out to us directly.We also unpack a massive week in Canadian real estate data. Housing starts jumped 30% in April to 279,000 annualized units—the strongest print since June 2023—but nearly all of that growth came from purpose-built rentals. Condo and single-family home starts, by contrast, have fallen to decade lows. This unusual dynamic points to a likely plateau in rent prices and suggests that condo values may face future headwinds due to increased supply and moderating rents.Whether you're passionate about housing affordability, curious about the current market landscape, or just looking for a rare real estate deal, this episode delivers insight and opportunity. And if you believe Canadians deserve affordable homes they can own, now is the time to raise your voice. Drop your ideas in the comments—we're listening, compiling, and taking action. _________________________________ Contact Us To Book Your Private Consultation:

In this I'm breaking down the surprising truth about co-ops versus condos in New York City real estate. While co-ops are known as the more affordable option with lower purchase prices, I'll show you the shocking math that reveals they actually require MORE income and cash on hand than their pricier condo counterparts. Through a detailed side-by-side comparison of a $1M co-op and $1.25M condo, I'll expose how co-op down payment requirements, debt-to-income ratios, and post-closing liquidity demands dramatically change the affordability equation.About the Host:Christina Kremidas is a lifelong New Yorker who brings her extensive background in advertising to her successful real estate career in Manhattan.

Figuring out where to live is a significant and costly decision everyone has to make at some point. If you want to purchase a property to make your home, condominiums, and houses are what you want to look at. Each has pros and cons, and depending on your lifestyle, you may lean towards one over the other. Keep listening to learn which option is right for you.   Links: Learn more about Triangle's mortgage products Check out TCU University for financial education tips and resources!

With a condominium, or condo for short, you buy the unit and share the land with other condo owners.    Unlike apartments, you don't pay rent on houses and condos; you pay your mortgage and a condo HOA fee (more on that in a minute). However, some condos are available to rent if you prefer, but that means you won't build equity over time. When you buy a house or a condo and start paying your mortgage, you'll build up equity.    One compelling reason to consider a condo over a house is the pricing. Condos are typically more affordable, making them an attractive option for first-time buyers. A study by the National Association of Realtors found that the median price of detached single-family homes was $42,000 more than the median price of condos, a significant difference that could make homeownership more accessible.   However, condos usually have additional fees attached. Condos typically have a Homeowner Association, or HOA for short, which comes with fees. Some HOA fees include utility fees such as water, electricity, and more, which you would've had to pay anyway if you bought a house.    An advantage of condos over houses is that upkeep is a lot easier. Due to the HOA fees mentioned, someone will handle all the exterior maintenance, like lawn mowing, snow removal, and general outdoor upkeep. With a house, you'd have to do everything yourself or hire someone else.    While this has advantages, a condo may not be for you if you enjoy taking care of your lawn and garden and don't want to share it with your neighbors. Similarly, a condo is probably not the way to go if you value your space. With some condos, not only are you sharing your outdoor spaces, you might also be sharing walls. Many condos are attached so you will be very close to your neighbors. However, there are detached condos that aren't. Depending on your lifestyle, you might value this tight sense of community, or you might want your space away from others.    A downside to condos is you have less autonomy over what you can and can't do with your space. Some HOAs have stringent rules, such as how you can decorate the outside of your unit and what pets are allowed. While some neighborhoods where you buy a house might have an HOA, you typically are not restricted with what you can and can't do to your home.    Condos might also be harder to sell than houses, especially if the HOA is mismanaged. If you notice that many condos in the area are for sale, that might be a red flag that people are trying to leave this community.    There are upsides to condos in that the insurance is generally cheaper than buying a single-family home. This is because you are only responsible for the inside of your home, compared with having the land and house insured.    Which is the better choice for you, a house or a condo? The answer lies in your lifestyle and what you value most. A condo could be the perfect fit if you're looking for a more affordable option and don't want to worry about outdoor upkeep. On the other hand, if you value your personal space and prefer more autonomy, a house might be the better choice. It's all about finding the right balance that suits your needs and preferences.    Whatever you choose, if you're looking for a mortgage, Triangle Credit Union has got you covered. Triangle offers affordable mortgage solutions for whatever your situation might be.

For the first time in 2025, Vancouver home prices have declined—and combined with multi-year lows in sales activity, have we finally reached the bottom of this market cycle?In this week's episode, we dive into the May market update for Vancouver, examining why—after four consecutive years of declining home sales—we may be approaching a cyclical turning point. Vancouver just posted its lowest April sales figures since 2019, and for context, this is now the longest recorded slowdown in the GVRD since 2005. But what's fascinating is that some early signs of life are emerging in other major Canadian markets—especially Toronto. TRREB reported a modest 1.8% increase in sales in April, breaking a brutal two-month, 27% drop. Is this a blip, or the beginning of the stabilization phase?We break down affordability and consumer confidence, two key drivers of real estate cycles. With mortgage payments on a typical home now at $2,600—the lowest since May 2022—affordability is quietly improving. And with consumer sentiment indexes showing their first significant jump in over a year, buyer psychology could be shifting. Should the Bank of Canada cut rates in June, as markets are pricing in, it could bring payments back to 2022 levels—when sales volumes were 52% higher.We then turn to Toronto, where the situation is more extreme. GTA sales remain 21% lower year-over-year, with condo sales down a staggering 30%—the lowest sales figures seen in 25 years (excluding COVID lockdowns). Inventory is ballooning, up 51% overall and 83% for condos in the 416. And prices across all asset types have dropped: condos are down 6.8%, detached homes 5.4%. Meanwhile, the rental market is under pressure too. With 16,000 rental listings, GTA rental inventory is at an all-time high. Rents are now 13% below peak levels, and investor demand has fallen off a cliff. But with prices and rates declining faster than rents, even cash flow metrics are beginning to improve—though we're still far from equilibrium.We then circle back to Vancouver. Despite the sales slowdown, condos have shown surprising resilience—both in sales and price. Condo transactions are down just 56% from peak levels (compared to 71% for detached homes) and prices have only slipped 2% from their highs,  outperforming detached and townhouse segments. In fact, when looking at the broader GVRD—excluding downtown Vancouver—condo prices have barely moved.New listings in Vancouver came in slightly below 2024 levels but remain steady, and inventory continues to climb, reaching an 11-year high for April. With buyers still largely on the sidelines, the sales-to-active ratio has held in balanced market territory for 12 straight months—14% overall. The days-on-market average ticked up to 16, and foreclosure activity rose slightly but remains a minor share of total listings.Finally, we close with price movement: The Home Price Index fell by 0.5% this month, the first drop of the year, bringing the average Vancouver home price to $1.184M. The average price dropped by $20,000, and prices are now 1.8% lower than they were a year ago.Whether we've hit the bottom or are simply sliding along it remains to be seen—but the data suggests that a turning point could be on the horizon. Be sure to tune in for our full analysis, charts, and predictions—so you're prepared for what's next in this shifting market. _________________________________ Contact Us To Book Your Private Consultation:

Thirteen years ago, Hurricane Sandy blew into New York, and caused tons of problems for a lot of people, especially my friend Harry, who lived on the 50th floor in a sixty story condo in midtown. Since the power went out, he had to walk down 50 flights of stairs just to leave the building. Luckily, there was a deli on the first floor there. But he still had to walk up the same 50 flights to get back home.Floor, Story, Flight, Condo, Apartment. Today, we're going to look at some pretty unique vocabulary that we use to talk about where we live and work.Join my Podcast Learner's Study Group here: https://learn.myhappyenglish.com/transcriptVisit my website for over 3,000 free English lessons: https://www.myhappyenglish.com/

Andrew Freed turned one condo into a rental property portfolio that makes him $10,000 per month! Just four years ago, Andrew had little to his name—around $50,000 and a $200,000 condo. That's what a decade of working had gotten him, but to Andrew, it was a sign he wasn't doing enough. Like most real estate investors, Andrew stumbled upon Rich Dad Poor Dad and made an immediate change that would propel him to financial freedom. Four years later, he's there—quitting his job and going full-time into real estate. How did he do it? Simple. “Recycling” his money is what allowed Andrew to scale so quickly. A HELOC (home equity line of credit) on his condo gave him the money for his first small multifamily—a house hack that would help him live for free. With each new property, he'd get a new HELOC and use it to grow his portfolio even faster.  Now, Andrew has a sizable real estate portfolio, personally paying him six figures a year, while he focuses on the next property. If you want to quit your job and give real estate your all, you can do what Andrew did, recycling your money to build your wealth—and you can start with just a condo! In This Episode We Cover: How to use HELOCs (home equity lines of credit) to quickly fund your first real estate deal Using the BRRRR method (buy, rehab, rent, refinance, repeat) to buy rentals for essentially $0  The “sweet spot” multifamily properties that are easier to manage and boast big cash flow  How to take down huge real estate deals when you don't have the money  Why buying portfolios of properties (not single properties) is the cheat code for faster financial freedom  And So Much More!
