Straight answers, specific to your hospital.
How much can a St. Paul's attending physician qualify for?01

It can. BC offers first-time home buyer and newly-built home exemptions that reduce or eliminate the Property Transfer Tax on qualifying purchases up to set price thresholds, above which the tax phases back in.

Downtown condos near St. Paul's keep commute short but carry premium prices; transit-connected neighbourhoods trade a longer commute for lower cost. We model carrying cost versus rent before recommending either.
