Global News BC: Could pre-fabrication be the key to unlocking B.C.’s housing supply crunch? https://globalnews.ca/news/9939980/rental-construction-prefabrication-metro-vancouver/ #globalnews #britishcolumbia #news #pre-fabricationhousing #purposebuiltrental #off-sitebuilding #RentalApartments #pre-fabrication #RentalHousing #PilotProject #B.C.Housing #BCHousing #Economy #Housing

"Airbnb, and other short term rental sites, have cannibalized the supply of #RentalApartments and contributed to increases in rents of between 40 and 50 per cent in cities like Vancouver and Toronto over the last two years."

@RAHU My daughter and son-in-law recently viewed an apartment for sale in Ringwood (Eastern suburbs Melbourne). The sale price was too good to be true and transpires it had dodgy flammable cladding and the  balconies on the 2 floors directly above their garden, were in risk of falling off pretty much at any time... Their solicitor strongly advised against buying. Of course.

But then theres nothing to stop a loaded-up cash buyer just snapping up a deal and renting out an unsafe overpriced property to unsuspecting tenants?

We have to have RWC to sell cars.
We need Safe To Occupy Certificates for homes. Don't we?

@jhaue I thought this spoke volumes about the rental market.

But then what's to stop a loaded-up cash buyer just snapping up a deal and putting in unsuspecting tenants?
