The Millennial Moron Podcast Millennial Moron

What is R-CG zoning in Calgary? Calgary is considering a plan to increase the base residential zone in the city as part of the affordable housing plan, which has been described as “blanket upzoning”. R-CG would allow the construction of multiplexes and row houses by default anywhere in the city of Calgary. What impact will this have on housing affordability, parking, traffic, utilities, infrastructure and neighbourhood character?

All these questions and more are answered on today’s Millennial Moron Podcast, where I’m joined by Calgary Ward 8 Councillor Courtney Walcott, Director of City and Regional Planning Josh White, and Co-Founder of More Neighbours Calgary Kathryn Davies.

Sara and Stephen Cole, also known as Manor & Maker on social media, sold their home in Fergus, Ontario and purchased a chateau in France. They now run a vlog documenting their experience with owning, maintaining, and renovating the property, as well as hosting events ranging from a peaceful writer's retreat to a Halloween rave.

We talk about some of the details of chateau ownership, living abroad as an expat, challenges of running a business with minimal access to credit, and the highs and lows of chasing your dream lifestyle.

Today I'm interviewing Michelle Farrugia, mortgage broker and host of the Cognitive Capital Podcast, about the details and potential pitfalls of investing in preconstruction homes, including a case study of a preconstruction speculator who planned on making a quick six-figure profit, but now may be facing a lawsuit and losses upwards of half a million dollars.

We also discuss the importance of understanding your investments, the appropriate use of leverage, and ways to improve the preconstruction buying process to reduce the potential for fraud.
