A simple rule for safer property showings: don't put yourself in a position where you can get trapped.

One practice worth considering when showing a property is to let the prospect enter bedrooms and other rooms first, especially rooms with doors that can close.

That way, you're keeping yourself closer to an exit and maintaining awareness of where the other person is.

It can feel a little awkward when someone says, "Ladies first."
But sometimes the answer is simply:
"Nope, clients first."

A few seconds of awkwardness is a small price to pay for a safer showing.

Property management and real estate professionals spend a lot of time meeting people they don't know. Having simple safety habits and sticking to them can make a big difference.

Trust your instincts. Have a plan. And don't let politeness override your safety.

🚨 NEW PODCAST 🚨

When does “uncomfortable” become unsafe?

For women in real estate, property management, and DIY landlords, meeting strangers and showing properties can come with real safety risks.

On this episode of Bamboo, Jolene Foreman of Custom Realty joins us to talk about the red flags to watch for, trusting your gut, when to walk away, and how to stay safe when working alone.

We also tackle a tough question: Does being expected to always be “nice” sometimes make women ignore their own safety?

This isn’t about being paranoid. It’s about being prepared.

There’s an important caveat when deciding how long your rental will take to occupy.

Base your numbers on market rent & not the absolute highest rent you might get if everything goes perfectly.

- Maybe you find someone who desperately needs a place.
- Maybe they immediately fall in love with your unit.
- Maybe you're lucky and get an offer above market...But you can't build your rental strategy around luck.

You need to be honest about what similar properties are actually renting for today.

Because if you're trying to decide whether it's worth holding out for another $50 or $100, your calculation needs to be based on a realistic market rent.

Don't price for your best-case scenario. Price based on the market.

The more realistic you are about your property's position, the better decisions you'll make about vacancy, pricing and your overall return.

Sometimes chasing that extra $50 in rent can cost you a lot more.
Let's say you want $2,000 a month, but a good tenant is willing to pay $1,950.

You hold out for that extra $50.... Then the unit sits vacant for a month.

At $50 more per month, it would take 40 months which is more than 3 years just to make up that one month of lost rent.

Sometimes you have to swallow your pride and look at the bigger picture.

$1,950 today can be better than $2,000 someday.

The goal isn't always to get the absolute highest rent. It's to maximize your overall return and minimize unnecessary vacancy.

New Westminster has an incredible lineup of local community events and entertainment coming up over the next week.

The annual New Westminster Fire and Rescue Services Open House takes over the Glenbrook Fire Hall at 1 East 6th Avenue this Saturday, October 3, from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM. This free family-friendly event features live rescue demonstrations, equipment displays, safety booths, and a charitable barbecue with food available by donation. This year's safety theme focuses on the proper care and recycling of lithium-ion batteries. Attendees are encouraged to walk, cycle, or take transit as there is no parking available on-site.

Music fans can catch Rumours: The Ultimate Tribute to Fleetwood Mac at the Massey Theatre on Sunday, October 4, at 7:30 PM. This Los Angeles-based show covers the historic 1975 to 1979 era of the band, complete with period-accurate costumes and equipment. Tickets are available through regular theatre box office channels for a night of classic rock nostalgia.

The entertainment continues next week with Comedy Exposed at The Flapper Lounge on Thursday, October 8. Taking place from 8:00 PM to 9:30 PM, this popular monthly showcase brings a lively blend of stand-up comedy and burlesque to downtown New Westminster. The event takes over the intimate speakeasy room at 759 Carnarvon Street, pairing top-tier comedians with premier burlesque dancers. Because space inside the venue is highly limited, securing tickets early via Eventbrite is highly recommended.

What events are on your schedule this week? Share your plans in the comments below.

🚨 NEW PODCAST: Are rents finally finding their floor, are sales prices??

September rents dipped another $13 to $2,085 for an unfurnished 1-bedroom in Greater Vancouver.

But here’s the interesting part…

📉 Rents have been remarkably flat since April.
💰 Is the market finally stabilizing?
🏠 Could this create opportunities for investors?
⏰ And how much can waiting for an extra $50 in rent actually cost you?

We also get into AI in property management, from AI-written tenant applications to virtual staging and rental photos and why making your property look better than it really is can create problems.

Plus: the 2027 B.C. rent increase cap, when to list your rental, vacancy costs, and the landlord math every property owner should know.

Landlords. Investors. Rental market. AI. Real-world insights.

Not every investment property should be a BRRRR.

When you're looking at a potential investment, start with the facts:

• Purchase price
• Expected rental income
• Renovation costs
• Estimated resale value
• Financing
• Ongoing carrying costs

Then ask yourself:

Does this actually make sense as a BRRRR (Buy, Renovate, Rent, Refinance, Repeat)??

Or would you be better off simply buying it, renting it and holding it for a few years?

And of course there’s another factor investors need to consider: the tax implications when selling a property shortly after buying it.

Sometimes the best strategy may be to renovate and refinance.
Sometimes it may make more sense to buy, rent and hold.
And sometimes the numbers simply don't work and walking away is the right move.

The strategy should come after you run the numbers, NOT before.

Buying a condo? Don't just look at the unit. Look at the strata.

The AGM is the Annual General Meeting, where major building decisions and financial matters are often discussed.

Things like:

• Roof replacement
• Windows
• Repiping
• Major building repairs
• Strata fee changes
• Large upcoming expenses

But don't overlook the SGMs (Special General Meetings)

An SGM can be called when something unexpected or significant comes up.

Maybe there's a major water leak.
Maybe an unexpected repair is needed.
Maybe the strata needs to make a large financial decision.

If you see multiple SGMs in the strata documents, find out why they were called and what was discussed.

You're not just buying the four walls inside your condo.

You're buying into the building; including its maintenance, finances and future expenses.

Read the minutes. Ask questions. Fully understand what you're buying into.
