@Stanley Kong if your parents have the income to support the mortgage on their new place in Langley ($800K) and the rent ocovers the mortgage and then some (use rental calc on BP) then they should keep the condo and use the rental to pay it off plus income for future once paid.

Look at cities such as Paris, Hong Kong, Mumbai,Tel Aviv etc.

@Phil Hong If you're just wanting to look at a map then http://graphics.latimes.com/soft-story-apartments-needing-retrofit/ is good because it's visuall mapped out, though i don't know if this is a comprehensive.

SF is up about 55% - 60% since 2012 alone, but it's still way cheaper than Manhattan, Hong Kong, and London, to name a few cities.

The unit is a 1/12th share, @Stanley Kong is correct with one week per season.I have looked at the numbers and with the split that Delta charges (up to 40-50% of the rental) to manage the property left me with negative cash flows.

Stanley Kong are you focused on NW only?

@James Hong That begs the question "How much is a house worth?".

Hello, I live in Hong Kong and looking to ship pre made homes to DFW. 

@Hong Gao the first thing I'd probably do is check with zoning and see if it is legal rental.

Quote from @Hong Yang: So I'm trying to figure out the best return from these two mortgage options.
