INFORMATION, AS OF PRESS TIME
What to look for in an investment property Historically, the appreciation rate for real estate is very strong. Even when the housing market declines, long-term investors in real estate can rest easy knowing that property values tend to rebound rather quickly, rewarding patient investors in the process. Looking at real estate as a longterm investment is just one way approach a potential investment property. The following are a few additional considerations prospective investors should contemplate before buying an investment property. Location Many people are familiar with the real estate industry axiom, “location, location, location!” When buying an investment property, location is everything. A great location should outweigh your own personal feelings about the home, especially if you do not intend to live at the property. You will likely define a great location for an investment property differently than you would a property you intend to live in, so don’t let your own desires in a home cloud your judgement when choosing an investment property. Properties in safe neighborhoods that boast good schools and offer easy access to public transportation tend to make great investment properties. Décor Décor is another thing to consider when looking for an investment property. If you don’t plan to reside in the property, 2
your opinion of the décor should not carry much weight. When viewing a property, try to imagine how much it might appeal to prospective tenants. Quirky properties typically do not appeal to as many prospective tenants as properties whose décor are similar to other homes in the area. Though you might find a tenant who prefers properties with unique interiors, a property that appeals to as many prospective tenants as possible often makes for a better investment and a lot less stress when the time comes to find tenants. Condition The condition of the property also must be considered before buying an investment property. Some investors want a fixerupper, while others prefer turnkey properties that won’t require any elbow grease. The former type of property likely won’t cost as much as a fully renovated property, but those cost savings might be lost when it’s time to renovate. Find a property that’s in the type of condition you’re comfortable with. If you decide to go with a fixer-upper, learn the cost of your potential projects before submitting an offer. Cost Real estate makes a great investment, but don’t go overboard when buying an investment property. Before making an offer on a property, research rents in the area and the cost of insurance in
Kingston Homefinder.ca - Thursday, August 10, 2017
that particular neighborhood. You want a property that essentially pays for itself, so make sure the rent you’re likely to collect is enough to cover your monthly
costs, including the mortgage on the property, insurance and the costs associated with managing and maintaining the property. Real estate investors often reap
great rewards when selling their properties. But it’s still important for potential investors to consider a host of factors before investing in a property.

To live in luxury, surrounded by history! BY KEVIN CLARKE
Welcome to The Kensington, a beautiful, redeveloped architectural gem in the heart of downtown Kingston that features original and historical architecture with modern finishes and amenities.
The history in 165 Wellington is clearly demonstrated in the exterior architecture and in touches like the arcading on the second and third floors, typical of Power Style, and the elm leaf motifs. The luxury shows in the modern appliances, finishes and many, many other updates.
Through hard work, and determination, The Kensington has been reborn as one of, if not the, most beautifully restored historical sites in Kingston. This unique project provides a rare opportunity to be a part of Kingston’s history. To live and work out of same building that housed Canada’s first Prime Minister’s office. A historical location given a brand-new life, with a modern update.
This fantastic location most recently housed the Bank of Nova Scotia and prior to that the Bank of Montreal. The conversion into elegant residential apartments is ongoing with completion expected in the spring of 2017. This unique edifice will house units from 1 to 2 bedrooms with Dens, as well as selected units with balconies.
Comprised of 165, 169, and 171 Wellington Street The Kensington is made up of three former commercial buildings. The first is a large three and a half story brick building built in 1876. The second is a 4 story brick commercial building constructed circa 1876. And the third is a 2 story building originally built in 1835 that underwent significant alterations in 1878.
169-171 Wellington may be the earliest surviving brick buildings in the commercial core. There is so much history apparent in these buildings. From the corbelled arch above carriage-way, unique in all of Kingston, to the semi-elliptical arched carriage-way in place since the early 19th century.
The first, 165 Wellington, is an iconic structure built for William Ford (Former Mayor of Kingston) by John and Joseph Power. Their prominent architectural firm was responsible for many of Kingston’s finest buildings including Gordon Hall, Nicol Hall and numerous Queens University buildings. John and Joseph are also notable for their work on the dome and cupola still atop Kingston City Hall today.
1908
Originally owned by John Collar the building is notable in large part due to its first tenant, John A. MacDonald. The venerable, eventual Prime Minister of Canada had his law office in the building from 1835 to 1839. William Ford purchased the property in 1848 completing his ownership of the full 3 building site. To live in The Kensington is to keep history in mind and the future in Sight!
