When I came home yesterday, there were three police cruisers outside my building. That is rather unusual for my 'hood although I often see one cruiser on the street on weekends in the evenings.

When I picking up my mail, I saw some guy getting escorted out in handcuffs. I wonder what the issue was...domestic dispute?? Anyway, maybe our strata council meeting minutes will say something in the next bulletin.

My mom made me a proposal...I can pretty much live in her place, rent free and either rent out my place or sell it. (No, she wouldn't be living there.) It would be such a good opportunity for me to save money (or even make money! I don't know what it's like to be a landlord...) However, I'm not sure if I sold what that would mean for me recovering my leaky condo costs with the lawsuit (or an upcoming possible lawsuit). And I am not too crazy about my mom's complex. It's really busy. And it's also farther away from the future Skytain that's getting built.

I also read an article entitled "Woman Pinned Under Car". It should have been "Daughter Runs over Mom". This woman was waiting in her car to pick up her mother. When her mother fell, she got out of her car to go help. However, she didn't put the car into Park, and the car rolled onto poor mummy and pinned her. The mom was airlifted to a hospital.

Definitely take the opportunity to save some money. Being a landlord can be a really good thing, but only if you find a good tenant. Even if you do it for 6 months or a year, it will give you enough extra money to really make a difference going forward.

That is a wonderful offer, you have a great mom.

Sounds like a good opportunity to sock away some cash, but you seem a little skeptical, as I would be! lol I'd always be wondering if she was going to come back to live there, or if she'd complain about the way I decorated, etc. But if you think you can manage that I'd go for it!

My worry is finding a good tenant...who knows what could happen. But at this point, I would have to apply to rent out my place. They only allow a maximum number of rentals in our buildings, which is not a bad thing!

The opportunity *would* be great. She wouldn't move back into her place...Why would she when she'd be living in a nice big house?? The only thing is that I like my place more than hers...BWAHAHAHA I have some time to chew on this.

I'm sure you're no stranger to handcuffs yourself!
