I spent some time with my parents tonight (shock!) and they're thinking that while the market is not the best of times right now, it would be awesome if I got this condo at Yonge and Finch.
Dad's offered to go with me to a bank or two and see what I can get, negotiation-wise. I don't know what to look for in those types of situations (heck, I got talked into something I didn't want awhile back and was able to reverse the situation before it got locked in), so he's offering to help me out. :D
They were talking to me today about things to negotiate - things like that parking spot. Are they going to make them designated spots or is it a set of unnumbered spaces that I hope no random visitor has taken? What happens if the visitors just decide to overflow into the resident's parking? Is there security for the parking? Can/Will there be a future development (like, underground parking or a gated fence with card access)? Because of that insecurity of the parking lot, I can also try getting them to drop the price on the parking, because they want a sale, obviously.
And here I am, wondering if they allow pets. *laugh*
Sometime next week I'll go with Dad to a couple of banks and see what they can offer.
If this goes through, this will be the largest investment that I'll have. And I thought the car was a huge investment. It's scary to think "I'm going to be paying this off for 20 years" but I can do it right now. And down the line, I can either sell off the property and mortgage something else or rent it out or something. We'll see.
