Saving money with a semi-detached house
– moneysense.ca
(Freeimages.com)For buyers dead-set on moving into a single family house, there seems to be little room to budge. The price-tag for detached urban homes is out of reach for many, but that’s doesn’t mean a move to a condo apartment is the right step. For some buyers, no amount of amenities or nearby transit stops are enough to give up on a private backyard, more living space or the freedom to renovate. Lengthy commute times be damned.
Buyers still juggling with the trade-off between budget, space and amenities, must really contend with finding the right type of home for their family and lifestyle. While detached homes and condo-apartments are options, there are also townhomes and semi-detached homes (known as duplexes in B.C.).
From a price-point perspective, a semi-detached house or a townhome can make good financial sense. Here’s what you need to know about these two housing types.
What is a semi-detached house?
A semi-detached house (semi for short) is a single family residence that is attached to its direct neighbour on one side through a common wall…

Podcast 5: Master Class with the Millionaire Teacher
– CanadianCouchPotato.com
My newest podcast features an interview with Andrew Hallam, author of Millionaire Teacher, a compelling introduction to building wealth through smart saving and disciplined investing.
Andrew grew up in Canada, but he’s a citizen of the world. He spent several years as a teacher at the Singapore American School and has lived and travelled all over the globe. As this podcast goes live, Andrew is touring the Middle East to speak to expatriate investors about how to avoid getting fleeced by the financial industry. And he’s not being paid for his appearances: “I’m not a saint,” he writes on his blog. “But when I’m teaching people about money, I’ll do almost anything so others can learn.”
Andrew has an interesting backstory, which I featured in my MoneySense Guide to the Perfect Portfolio. He was both comically frugal and a tremendously successful stock-picker for many years.
