Pretty sure you also can't be in full time education.

But yeah I could see 12th graders accumulating enough hours from a summer job.

Thanks for the info guys. I'm going to try to get in touch with Service Can tomorrow, however I think it's pretty conclusive based on the other thread plus the line I put out on Reddit that there is no way that high school students can attend school and still get paid.

Lmfao at these people making unconditional offers on real estate. Lmfao. Reminds me of that guy from reddit last year who made an unconditional offer on a Toronto house but didn't realize the condo market was in the dumps and he couldn't sell for the price he needed.

Yeah seems like unconditional offers are back. There was an article in the local Burnaby paper about this trend.

The land's 90% of the value and trend is positive for prices, so if you change your mind just turn around and flip it, you might even make money on top of transaction costs!

Assuming you can complete, anyway.

You've been to 10 showings and offered asking or above and have been rejected because of stronger offers that didn't have subject to inspection.

You've been trying to buy SOMETHING all year and you constantly get out-bid. Now people are offering unconditional offers so to compete you have to do the same. And you really have to, because you need to buy now or be priced out forever.

Being priced out forever is not an unacceptable outcome if the alternative is making an unconditional offer.

Unconditional offers make sense if you're just gonna tear the house down anyway. The amount of churn in SFH in Vancouver is a big part of the "new construction" numbers. People buying lovely post war homes, knocking them down then building garbage mcmansions. Especially common on the west side.

Often this new construction is literally reducing the amount of homes available, destroying some cheap house that had two or more units or perhaps was affordably split up amongst several young roommates and replacing it with a single big house for one family.

Probably a bit of tax issues (with secondary houses having to pay capital gains on market value) but more likely a case of parents needing cash for their new retirement residence living lifestyle and the kid not able to give up the Muskoka escape.

The alternative is to do the inspection prior to making the offer, so you're comfortable with what the inspection report says before you make the offer. Therefore, you wouldn't need the subject.

Has he actually exited the stock yet? I feel like the mentality that causes people to go all-in on an individual stock is also ironically the same mentality that prevents them from ever closing the position.

There seems to have been a huge campaign over the weekend to pressure the meme-driven buyers of GME into not selling, so you would be probably correct.

People are happier holding onto a stock and losing it all then exiting a stock and leaving money on the table. We suck!
