Ever wondered what your strata levies really say about a building? Far more than just a quarterly bill, strata fees reveal crucial insights into property health that savvy buyers need to understand.Think of strata as your building's compulsory savings account. Those quarterly payments fund everything from day-to-day operations to major future repairs. But contrary to popular belief, high levies aren't necessarily a red flag – they might actually signal a proactive owners corporation that's planning ahead. Conversely, suspiciously low levies could indicate an inactive strata unwilling to invest in proper maintenance, potentially leaving you facing surprise special levies later.Diving deeper, we explore how to decode the real story behind strata finances. The capital works fund (formerly the sinking fund) should maintain a healthy balance to cover future projects without resorting to special levies. We analyze what those one-off special payments really mean – are they normal maintenance or signs of deeper problems? Plus, we reveal what to look for during inspections: from common area conditions to fire safety compliance and the enlightening details hidden in AGM minutes.For prospective apartment buyers, this knowledge is power. We provide actionable due diligence steps including obtaining comprehensive strata reports, reviewing bylaws, researching developers' track records, and engaging specialists who understand the nuances of strata purchases. Don't make the mistake of judging a building solely on levy amounts – the story behind those numbers matters far more.Have questions about strata properties or need guidance navigating your next apartment purchase? Contact us directly – we're passionate about helping buyers make informed decisions in the complex world of strata living.

This podcast is packed with positivity! That's right, the first segment of the podcast is the "20 Minute Positivity Challenge". It's also known as the 'Gary Self-evaluation'. Is there any way to discuss the positive things the NWP has proposed on Council within 20 minutes on a podcast? Will the buzzer sound and will our co-hosts run out of time?A Deloitte report commissioned by Metro Vancouver includes 47 recommendations to improve the governance of the organization. That's more recommendations than there are board directors (41) which is quite astounding. The local media refer to it as a 'damning report'. Let dig a bit deeper and listen to an interview on the Jas Johal Show on AM 730 on this topic. AM 730 host Jill Bennett discusses an open letter written by four city councillors calling upon Premier David Eby to reinstate the Office of the Municipal Auditor General. Why is Victoria so hesitant to make a move? Are they afraid to wear the political mess that is unfolding at Metro Vancouver? Lastly, we talk about congestion pricing and whether a $200 per vehicle charge is close to becoming a reality. Do you want to pay a new 'congestion tax' that would help to fund TransLink? Or should senior orders of government redirect existing funding to this important priority to tackle climate change? All that and more in what we guarantee is an information and analysis-filled podcast! If you liked it be sure to tell family and friends to follow For the Record with Daniel Fontaine and Paul Minhas. It is available on Spotify, Apple Podcast and all major platforms.

In another 60 minute packed podcast, co-hosts Daniel Fontaine and Paul Minhas talk New West politics. First up to the bat is a discussion on the $110,000 Council committed to make permanent the Citizen Assembly. It was a pilot project that was initially heralded as an opportunity to streamline the city's engagement activities and make them more effective. While the survey says yes, a couple of NWP councillors said no. Find out why.Did you hear about the machete wielding thief who entered the Paradise Donair shop on 12th Street? He scared the living daylights out of the staff and was subsequently arrested and charge by the NWPD. Unfortunately, the judge let him out the next day and told him to 'behave'. What gives? Is this the new normal in New West?May Day has been around for 155 years. It used to receive lots of support from the School Board and City Council, but no more. While other organizations recently cobbled together get tens of thousands of tax dollars, May Day gets a fraction of that to keep the lights on. May Day Committee member Scott Rains let er rip at Council and told them the organization needs to regain its special status within the city. But were the politicians actually listening and willing to act? "Holy micromanagement Batman" said Councillor Nadine Nakagawa in response to a motion asking for more openness and transparency in city budget-making. If approved, it would have meant all projects at the city would have to have a budget and it would be readily available to the public. So why did the motion get voted down? Tolls. Levies. Congestion Pricing. You take your pick. It appears the BC NDP government is about to make driving your vehicle a lot more expensive. Have municipal politicians really convinced Victoria to give them new taxation power to help fund public transportation in Metro Vancouver? And will it really cost you $200 more per year to drive?We also do an event roundup and much, much more! If you like the podcast be sure to tell your friends and family and encourage them to follow.
