Will be signing up for rent faster alerts right now... thanks for that tip.
No problem. RentFaster is how I managed to snag my place.

Not going to lie, $1000 for a two bedroom inner city will not be easy to find. I would add an extra hundred each on that. Also, make sure you are clear when negotiating about who pays condo fees, utilities etc. A great deal may not be so great if you are picking up all the utilities.

As a base of reference, a couple places I know:

I pay 1400 in Mission with all utilities but cable included and one parking stall.

My buddy that lives in Marda loop pays about 600 with a roommate. All in.

My other buddy that lives off of 12th Ave (a few blocks from Amsterdam Rhino) pay 900 for a one bed room.

Hope this helps!
