I see some bad strategies in the comments section of my blog when it comes to Vancouver Real Estate. One of the worst is selling your principal residence after a year or two because you’ve made some quick gains on it. Then rent for a year or two and hope to buy back in at a better price. Some of the others are selling an investment unit with a fixed term tenancy as well as paying off the mortgage on an investment unit early when you have a low mortgage rate of sub 3%.
