Description

Being a landlord in Vancouver has never been more challenging. With rising operating costs, tightening regulations, and softening rental returns, many investors are questioning whether holding residential property still makes financial sense in today's market. What was once considered a safe, long-term wealth strategy now comes with more uncertainty, more risks, and fewer rewards.

James and Denny break down the current landlord dilemma from the front lines of Vancouver real estate. They also explore what the future could look like—and whether being a landlord in Vancouver can still be worth it.

This episode will focus on being a landlord in today's current real estate market, being impossible to be cash flow positive, developers struggling and less homes being built, when tenanted properties sell, very few people take over the tenancies, investors not buying, wrongful evictions and future predictions.
