Experts in B.C. warn of bigger impact on women when commercial real estate companies downsize. This is because they are on the teams that are let go first.

B.C. Premier David Eby says a new website, now online after being announced in January, will reduce the wait time for provincial permits by about 60 days for home builders. 

When Christian Fracchia first heard about a rent-to-own opportunity in Port Moody, B.C., four years ago, he saw a way to realize his dream of first-time home ownership, so he put his name in a lottery for 30 units.

Rent-to-own advocates say this model of home financing allows people with limited or damaged credit who can’t qualify for a traditional mortgage to work toward ownership. But others caution that it is untested and has some pitfalls.
