Hot Property!
W
hether you're a homeowner or a renter, a small business owner or an
investor, if you're reading this magazine and live in B.C., you're inter-
ested in real estate. It's our number one hobby in this province and
the lifeblood of the Lower Mainland economy. In this year's real estate
roundup, we tackle the topic from a number of angles—from affordabil-
ity (and what the heck does it really mean?), to non-traditional financ-
ing (share and share alike!) to the rise (get it?) of purpose-built rental buildings.
And for those in the mood to drop some (not insignificant) change, turn the page.
We'll tell you the best places to buy in right now.
