Helene was just featured on a programme on HGTV called Income Property. She purchased an old house, which she is planning on renting 3 units and living in the main floor unit. Hopefully, this link works: www.hgtv.ca/incomeproperty/episode/?epId=315732
I wonder if she and Yannick trade renovation notes. |

I want to live there. Talk about gorgeous! Now the question is how much is it going to cost to bring her living space up to scratch? Maybe Yannick will come and help, lol. Kudos to her for forward thinking.

I wonder if she and Yannick trade renovation notes. I read an article last year about Helene's property-investment ideas and fear of poverty. On the one hand, investing is probably the only way to build some stability when the terms offered to actors are so unstable. On the other hand, there is something inherently creepy about property speculation and living off of rent, so I wish property wasn't regarded as a source of income. When some people's "investments" in properties go up, then people who perform much needed services - firemen, policemen, grocery tellers, janitors - have nowhere to live. |

There will always be people that either can't afford to buy or don't want to. They have to live somewhere so someone has to provide the rental property. Fact of life. |

The nature of the Toronto housing market is such that it is getting difficult to buy any kind of detached home in the core area for less than $800,000.....according to the programme, Helene paid over $1 million for a large but run down century + house in one of the older neighbourhoods, and that price is not in any way surprising.....about the only people on your list who could possibly afford to live in her units would a police officer, since most constables earn over $100,000 p.a. now......a huge number of people who work in Toronto live in communities outside the City and commute in......The Greater Toronto Area is now very large and very sprawled out....I'm sure anyone watching from this area had a good giggle when William made his comment at the end of Crabtree Mania about he didn't think Toronto property prices would ever go up much..... |

I have to admit the comment about property prices really cracked me up. I doubt we could afford to move back to Toronto now if we wanted to. |

True - my grumpiness on the matter probably comes from living in one of the "speculation" capitals of the world right now. |
