Hot Investment - Downtown Studio Condo with English Bay Views - 07/12/07 02:16 AM
I just listed this great potential investment property. It's a studio apartment at 1005-1330 Hornby St in Downtown Vancouver. Given a bit of interior decorating, this studio can easily be rented for $900 - $1000 per month.

Sunday, July 15th: 2pm - 4pm
