Yeah, I'm in an awful spot right now. Lost my job in BC, so out of desparation I had to take one in Edmonton to keep supporting the family.

Problem is with 2 dogs, 2 cats, and a kid I can not rent anything in the Edmonton area. No one will rent to me, they don't care that I actually pay my rent and will try to maintain the property better than most prospective tenants. Thats how far land lords have their head up their arse. They'd rather rent to a crackhead making $30,000 a year who doesn't own a pet.

So unless I get rid of the animals, which will result in a divorce which I don't really want....I have to buy a place.

But you guys all say the market is due to crash and render houses worth $0.....FML!!!

Probably still buy though...as long as I have a job I can make the payments and if I stick around for 20 years I should be okay.
