Description
6 bed, 2 bath legal up/down duplex just minutes from Vancouver Island University. Good fit for a first-time buyer looking for a mortgage helper, or an investor ready to add to the portfolio. The upper level has 3 bedrooms, a big open living room, newer carpets, and a large sundeck with newer railings and stairs. Bathroom keeps its vintage charm with a claw-foot tub and separate shower. This unit sits vacant right now, so quick possession is possible. Downstairs is 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, with ceramic tile throughout for easy care and durability. Currently rented at $2,400/month, live upstairs and rent the other side, or set both units at market rent. Newer windows throughout, both hot water tanks replaced in 2023, vinyl siding, and a fresh exterior paint job. Each unit has its own laundry, its own storage, and its own hydro meter. Outside you've got parking for around 5 vehicles, a fenced yard, and a garden bed ready to plant all within walking distance to shopping and VIU. For more information, contact Travis Briggs at 250-713-5501 or travis@travisbriggs.ca (Measurements and data approximate; verify if important.) (id:63159)

How this is calculated
Amenities: points awarded per category (restaurants, cafes, grocery, parks, shopping, gyms, pharmacies, banks/ATMs, healthcare) based on distance to the nearest one — 3 points under 200m, 2 points under 500m, 1 point under 800m — summed across all 9 categories and scaled to 0–100.
Transit: based on the number of transit stops within 800m and their mode (SkyTrain weighted highest, then streetcar/ferry, then bus). This reflects stop type and count only — our data doesn't include how often a route actually runs, so frequency is never factored in.
Both scores depend on how much of the surrounding area has been synced from OpenStreetMap and TransLink's GTFS feed. A lower score can mean fewer amenities nearby, or simply that this area hasn't been fully synced yet — not a confident measurement of the location itself.

Financial Summary
Cash Needed at Closing
Minimum down payment: 5% on the first $500,000, 10% on the portion up to $1.5M, 20% at/above $1.5M. Stress test: OSFI's minimum qualifying rate, the greater of contract rate + 2% or 5.25% — this is what lenders require you to qualify at, not what you'll actually pay. Closing costs are a typical-range estimate, not a quote — actual legal fees vary. Verify all figures with a mortgage broker and lawyer before relying on them.
