$2,800 a month. Same money, two very different outcomes.

Downtown Nanaimo rentals are asking $1,500 to $3,500 a month right now. So let’s run the real numbers on the other side.

At today’s fixed rates around 4%, roughly $2,800 a month carries a mortgage in the mid $500,000s. With a down payment, that is a real Nanaimo townhouse, condo, or even a single family home. Not a fantasy. A listing I could show you this week.

Now the honest part, because there always is one. Owning costs more than the mortgage. Taxes, insurance, maintenance, strata. Renting buys you flexibility. Buying is forced savings.

Here is the line I have repeated for 22 years: rent is 100% interest. Every dollar goes to paying off somebody else’s mortgage. With your own mortgage, part of every payment buys back a piece of the building you sleep in.

Want me to run your actual numbers, rent versus buy, on your real budget? Comment MATH below and I will reach out.$2,800 a month. Same money, two very different outcomes.

They stopped making waterfront a long time ago.

The Bluenose Marina — 2.18 acres in the heart of Cowichan Bay, Vancouver Island. Roughly 56 slips in a bay where moorage simply isn’t available, most of it leased long-term. Six berths held by float homes. Five independent businesses leasing space along the waterfront, including The Vine Restaurant and Udder Guys Ice Cream.

Three income streams — slip moorage, float-home moorage, and commercial leases — under one ownership.

The dock system has been rebuilt in heavy Douglas fir, with about 120 feet of concrete for the bigger boats. 3-phase 400-amp power, 50 amps at every slip, newer vacuum septic system, new year-round water system. Service barge, workshop, and on-site equipment included.

Indicates approximately 8% cap rate on current-year performance and anticipated expenses.

Offered at $4,200,000.

Untie the lines and Sansom Narrows and the Gulf Islands are right there.

The Bluenose Marina · Cowichan Bay, BC

Moorage on Vancouver Island's south coast is scarce and effectively cannot be replicated. This is 2.19 acres of it, operating and income-producing.

Approximately 56 slips, with moorage tenants mostly long-term and few seasonal. Six of those berths are held by float homes under moorage tenancy. Along the waterfront, five established businesses lease commercial space — The Vine Restaurant, Udder Guys Ice Cream, an art and artisan shop, a boutique, and a dockside kayak tour operator — each drawing its own foot traffic and paying rent into the marina.

Diversified revenue from three directions: slip moorage, float-home moorage, and commercial leases.

The capital work is already behind you. The dock system has been rebuilt in heavy Douglas fir on foam flotation, with roughly 120 feet of concrete dock for larger vessels. Power is 3-phase, 400-amp, distributing up to 50 amps per slip. A large-capacity vacuum septic system is in, and a year-round water system was recently installed. A service barge with workshop and storage, plus the on-site equipment and supplies, are included in the sale.

The property indicates an approximate 8% cap rate based on the current year's performance and anticipated expenses.

Scarce waterfront, diversified tenancy income, and the deferred maintenance already paid for.

Offered at $4,200,000.

You will spend more time choosing a paint colour than most people spend choosing their REALTOR®. That is a little backwards, don’t you think?

The person you hire shapes one of the biggest financial decisions of your life. They should tell you the truth, pick up the phone when it matters, and be genuinely on your side. So here are the green flags worth looking for, and the red flags worth trusting your gut on. (Swipe through.)

If you have been quietly wondering whether now is your time to make a move on Vancouver Island, that is exactly the conversation I love having. No pressure, just honest guidance from someone who knows this Island inside and out.

Message me here or call anytime, and let’s talk about what’s possible for you.
