I understand the concern, and will gently mention that there is always recourse if the tenant just so happens to flake out on their rent because of the messaging from the government. 

BC (where I live) is worse than ON... renters feel that it is their right to have the same rent for 20+ years, and there is huge movement afoot to have rent control tied to the unit (not to the tenant). 

Hi Chris, here is what the inspector said:"At numerous places, the inspector observed cracks on the brick walls and mortar deterioration.Cracks are usually signs of some movement.

I have no facts to back this up, just a rumour that I saw on BP and elsewhere.Until there are some sustained movements showing a vacancy decrease in downtown commercial office space I wouldn't risk it, but that is just my tolerance level. 

Definitely slowed down, but I still see movement here.

So long as the activated motion notification is on, your phone dings every time the camera senses movement. 

@Daniel Ortiz The reason your best bet/the movement is outwards from the city is because Boston proper is A) too saturated with other investors/buyers/people in general and B) way too expensive.

Numerous studies, including those by Nobel laureate Robert Shiller have shown that movements in interest rates have no impact on residential real estate. 

Have a gentle but firm conversation with the neighbor, let them know what you intend to do with the property, what your expectations are of him and what his expectations can be of you (even if it’s just about parking).Hopefully this two steps will go a long way to resolve any future issues that are similar to this.All the best.

It shows what you can accomplish/accumulate with steady 'forward' movement, particularly in such a short period of time.
