The wife loves the space and the garden that landed property accords. I prefer making my money work for me so having 2 condos is a more attractive option.

We have seen some beautiful semi Ds within $5.5m range. On the other hand if we go for condos, we could get get 2 decent size 2000sf OCR condo/penthouses and still have money left over.
