THE WISE INVESTOR By Dino Nicosia, Broker of Record, Investpro Realty Ltd., Brokerage

WHY INVEST IN REAL ESTATE? We have all heard of the many riches that both real estate ownership and or the stock market can bring, however as you are probably aware, the stock market can fluctuate dramatically. In some extreme cases, we have witnessed overnight swings that had made people rich and in other cases send them to bankruptcy.

Hamilton

Tangible: Real Estate owners are not shielded from such peaks and valleys, however, real estate is different. With real estate, you purchase a tangible asset that you can manage and have a lot of control. While it’s true that there are still external market conditions that affect your investment, the difference is that you have the ability to manipulate the operations of your real estate investment to respond to those conditions. Instead of being reactive (buying or selling), with the stock market, you are being proactive with real estate. You have the power in real estate to control the operational performance of your asset more than any other investment. Long term: Be confident that investing in real estate, with a long term investment strategy, it will build wealth over time. An experienced investor is also able to buy on short term and through flipping properties will earn good profits, however that is a high-risk strategy, which should be avoid by inexperienced investors. These are some of the many advantages in a long-term real estate investment; • Build your net worth over time from capital appreciation • Take advantage of the many tax advantages • Cash flow and residual income, • Capital gain on sale, • Equity also builds up through mortgage principal pay down,

LD AL O S Leverage: Real Estate investment is unique from the stock market because real wealth is achieved N by O using leverage. In real estate, leverage is based on the asset itself and you can getI aT bankIfinance up to D 80% of the purchase price, and sometimes with secondary financing youN can get up to 90% or 100% of CO the total asset value. Therefore, a real estate value increase of 5 percent (appreciation rate) is by far a better investment than a stock increasing by 10 percent. This is because when you leverage an investment property, you reap the benefits of the appreciation on the total of the asset value, and not your cash invested. You cannot afford not to invest in real estate. In future articles we will help you understand why Real Estate investments go bad, and how to reduce the risk and avoid common pitfalls. We will educate you about mortgage financing, property management, commonly used terms and formulas and how to apply them. 8171394_1716

HELP ONTARIO CUT RED TAPE Government launches crowd-sourced program to modernize regulations

ntario is asking businesses and the public to help identify and improve regulations that are unclear, outdated, redundant or unnecessarily costly.

Premier Kathleen Wynne joined Brad Duguid, Minister of Economic Development, Employment and Infrastructure, recently at Novo Plastics in Markham to launch the Red Tape Challenge, inviting the public to pinpoint problems such as forms that are too complex and technical information that is hard to understand. Through this innovative online consultation tool, people across Ontario will be able to help identify and eliminate regulatory duplication, lessen compliance burdens, shorten response times and make it easier for businesses and citizens to interact with government. The Red Tape Challenge will focus on six business sectors over the next two years. It will start with auto parts manufacturing, then focus on food processing, financial services, mining, chemical manufacturing and forestry. This crowd-sourced program will help deliver on Ontario’s commitment,

COM_1716.indd 24

through the Business Growth Initiative, to develop modern, outcome-focused and evidence-based regulations. The Business Growth Initiative will help foster an innovative and supportive business environment, while protecting environmental and health standards and enhancing worker safety. Reducing regulatory burden is part of the government’s economic plan to build Ontario up and deliver on its number-one priority to grow the economy and create jobs. The four-part plan includes investing in talent and skills, including helping more people get and create the jobs of the future by expanding access to high-quality college and university education. The plan is making the largest investment in public infrastructure in Ontario’s history and investing in a low-carbon economy driven by innovative, high-growth, export-oriented businesses. The plan is also helping working Ontarians achieve a more secure retirement. QUICK FACTS • Through the Red Tape Challenge, the public, businesses and industry associations can submit comments about Ontario’s regulatory requirements directly to the government at ontario.ca/redtapechallenge. • The Red Tape Challenge is modelled on a program from the U.K. of the same name that has achieved substantial results, including saving businesses more than £850 million (about $1.5 billion CDN) per year in costs through changes to 3,000 regulations. • This is part of the province’s Open Government commitment to create a more transparent, accessible and collaborative government for the people of Ontario. • Ontario’s 2015 Burden Reduction Report identified a total of $44 million in savings, building on $6 million identified in the 2014 report. This puts the province on track to reach its target of reducing the business burden by $100 million by the end of 2017. • In recognition of the province’s efforts to reduce red tape, the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) awarded the province a B+ grade — the second highest grade awarded in Canada — in its 2016 Red Tape Report Card. • Ontario’s Business Growth Initiative is helping to grow the economy and create jobs by promoting an innovation-based economy, helping small companies scale up and modernizing regulations for businesses. www.ontario.ca/page/red-tape-challenge

OFFICE CONDOS

A new trend in the City of Toronto and Metro Vancouver, says Colliers research report

Colliers International research report shows a growing demand towards office condos among business owners in the Toronto and Metro Vancouver, as they discover that owning your office space can be more affordable than leasing.

In Metro Vancouver, the Colliers Office Condo Report shows the demand continuing to surge for investors and end-users alike and that is due to several variables including, low interest rates, strong price per square foot growth, increasing lease rates, and opportunity to build equity. In 2010, only 31 per cent of office condo buyers in Vancouver were investors, a figure which has grown to a staggering 83 per cent by 2014. This increase in demand is also driven by the affordability and opportunity to own real estate as an investment that can be leased upon purchase. Using an example in a market with $35 per square foot lease rates, against office condo unit selling at $700 per square foot, the owners mortgage cost provides a savings of $3 per square foot. (Note: this is assuming a three per cent mortgage with 20 per cent down and amortized over 25 years).

offering 43 per cent of availability. “Owning office space offers the advantages of having a fixed and clear cost in the wake of major increases in leasing rates, full control over the design taste and feel of your environment, the prospects of capital gain, and no longer having to worry about the lack of flexibility that is usually coupled with a leasing contract,” says Scott Chandler, Colliers International’s senior vice president, Capital Markets. “As lease rates continue to increase and Canadian lending rates remain low, business owners are discovering the advantages and opportunities to own their own office space rather than lease and the market has responded. “A significant increase in the development of new office condo projects for the past six years,” added Chandler. The Report specifically pointed to Yonge Park Plaza, a mixed-use four-star hotel and office building in the Central North Market of the GTA, as an example. Located at 4050 Yonge Street (at York Mills Road) and being developed by Markham-based The Gupta Group, this recently announced corporate centre will be well-served by highways and multiple transit options, including direct access to the subway. Added Chandler, “Because of the power of its location, Yonge Park Plaza speaks to the strength of a potential investment in office space for the end-user, should conditions of their business ever change or should they require an exit strategy.” “Much like the trend in condos has made thousands of Canadian homeowners, despite the price of detached homes, business owners are now seeing the value of owning versus renting their space,” said Steve Gupta, President and CEO of The Gupta Group. “Yonge Park Plaza is among only 9 per cent of all GTA buildings located within walking distance of both a transit stop and a highway interchange, and for owners, this is the magic math that speaks to a sound real estate investment. “For example, this location means a significant return on investment, since we expect this building to lease faster, for premium rent and stay leased longer with less turnover and ongoing lower vacancy, than other buildings,” Gupta added. The Colliers Office Condos Research Report says that much like home ownership, office ownership is an investment in your financial future. Said Chandler, “For investors, owning your office space can offer a solid, consistent levered cash-flow and an opportunity to diversify your portfolio. For end-users, current low lending rates can make the product more affordable than leasing, and the strong capital appreciation can provide solid equity growth.”

Strata titled office/warehouse product has long been a common form of development in Vancouver. Units have been getting bigger, better and more In the City of Toronto, the demand for expensive over the last number of years. This form of development has now shifted office condos is typically from end users, to the retail and office asset classes in a meaningful way. “From an office perspective, such as professional service firms, or the key drivers are the lack of sites for small owner occupied developments, and local or international investors seeking developers are now focusing on purpose-built strata office product rather than a stable, solid and predictable cash flow. offering residual office product in mixed-use developments and most importantly, In 2015, 74 per cent of the office condo the acceptance of the product into a liquid secondary market in the event the owner sales were to end-users, with 26 per outgrows the space, or needs to downsize,” says Kirk Kuester, Executive Managing cent to investors.

TOP TIPS FOR FIRST TIME AND SEASONED INVESTORS Spring is here, and so is the active spring market. As the market becomes more active, more investment opportunities might encourage you to start hunting for your perfect investment property. But not every opportunity is as golden as it seems, and it’s important to be savvy while diversifying your portfolio. As an investor myself, I wanted to pass on some tips that are beneficial to all investors - whether they’re seasoned or just starting out.

beneficial and highly recommended to obtain an environmental report as part of your due diligence. These documents will save you from any surprises and will disclose the major issues. Even though a report can be costly, a cleanup itself is astronomically more expensive.

Always look at the numbers. Of course this seems obvious, but sometimes projections are overlooked or certain costs are left out during the decision making process. In other words be wary of sellers that over-estimate the value of their property. As well, look at previous years’ tax returns, bills, maintenance records etc. to obtain a more realistic picture. Bottom line, you will want to make sure that your investment has the ability to produce an income or profit.

Choose one investment type at a time. Owning multiple houses differs greatly from diversifying your commercial properties. You should really focus on one type of investment property, especially when you are first starting out. Some types of property you might want to focus on are: multiresidential, offices, retail or land. Each deal is going to require your undivided attention, so my advice would be to master one rather than spreading yourself thin. It will be a benefit to your reputation as well.

Hamilton

Remember that owning a commercial property doesn’t automatically make you an investor.

And lastly...

Focus on the big picture of property ownership. This type of venture is certainly not a one time project. A big mistake as an investor is ignoring the fact that over time you’ll have to continuously invest in order to maintain the building. Maintenance isn’t just about troubleshooting tenant issues. It’s also important to have a long term plan for capital improvements, like upgrading the electrical or replacing the roof. Likewise, you may want to really consider the tenants you choose. Home rentals usually sign for 6 months to a year, whereas commercial leases can run 5 years or much longer.

My final tip is that you simply speak with someone who has ample experience. Getting multiple opinions from other investors can save you from making huge mistakes, help you identify anything you may have missed, and can connect you with the appropriate resources that you may not have had access to. As an investor myself, I am confident in my knowledge and would be more than willing to assist you. I have experienced the good, the bad, and the ugly, and I know from experience that smart investments can set you up for the future.

Invest in an environmental report. It will save you in the long run. Whether you’ve agreed to be the sole owner or you are doing a joint venture, you might be responsible for paying for an environmental cleanup (i.e hazardous waste issues). This holds true even if you didn’t cause the problem itself. Therefore, it’s

CMHC Indicates Continued Strength in the Apartment Building Industry By: Cliff Ford, Skyview Realty Ltd., Brokerage

On January 28th, 2016, Ted Tsiakopoulos and Dana Senagama from CMHC presented a slew of relevant data, facts, charts, and insights that showed our multi-unit residential market was not only surviving but thriving! If you were unable to attend this year, here are some of the salient points from that breakfast seminar: Vacancy Rates As has been the case for a number of years, the Ontario market performed greater than all other provinces, except for British Columbia, when it comes to vacancy rates. In 2015, Ontario remained steady at just above a 2% overall vacancy rate, where the overall Canadian market was closer to 3.5%. Within Ontario, the individual cities varied in their vacancy rates. CMHC indicated that some markets like Barrie and Oshawa saw decreased vacancy rates due to the demand for rental housing there. Cities like Toronto and Guelph have stayed the course and did not see a significant increase or decrease from 2014 to 2015. On the other hand, some markets saw greater vacancy increases such as Ottawa and Hamilton.

the gap shrink between purpose-built rental rates and condo rental rates. The downward trend on vacancy rates indicates there is more demand for rentals than there is supply. The condo market certainly addresses part of this demand but it also is a good indication that our market is stable in the purpose-built apartment sector. The driving force behind the demand for rentals are the Millenial generation (aged anywhere between 25-44 years old). Out of all age groups in Ontario renters, Millenials have the highest percentage of people who choose to rent versus own. Primarily, it is the cost gap between the cost of ownership and the cost of renting that causes this age group to remain in the rental market long after leaving their parents’ house. When you consider the factors driving the condo market and the overall demand for rental units, CMHC indicated that the condo market should not be something we fear in the multi-unit residential sector. Our sector is strong and stable, and ultimately, almost counter-intuitively, supported by the continued development of the condo market. The ‘Forecast’

Greater Toronto Area

As it relates to vacancy rates, immigration continued to play a factor in those rates. It was reported that 62% of immigrants coming into Canada choose to rent first upon their arrival. This influx of new families looking for housing has created a downward pressure on the overall vacancy rates.

No one has a crystal ball to predict the future, but when you have as much expertise and data as CMHC does, they often have a way of estimating the direction in which the rental market is heading. Ted and Dana’s presentations gave us some key insights about where we should expect the market to go in 2016 and even into 2017.

Condo Market

The forecast on vacancy rates looked even more positive as CMHC expects the overall vacancy rates to continue to drop; stating that we could see decreases in vacancies by another 0.2% overall in 2016 through 2017.

For a few years now there has been some trepidation towards the condo market. Some apartment building owners saw this market as a threat when it appeared that many of the condo units coming available were being scooped up by investors to use as rental units. But there is no reason to fear the condo market according to CMHC. Their stats shows that of all the available units coming into this market through the expansion and building of new condominium properties, only one third or less are being kept as rental investment units and the remainder are being owner-occupied. We do not need to worry about the condo market infringing on our core business. Remember that condos are filling a void and not necessarily taking away from our prime target tenants. Due to the nature of condo living, with amenities inside the building and higher-end finishings and fixtures, they address the need for high-end rental living. Those individuals that choose to continue to rent in condos rather than own their property, are looking for a certain lifestyle and are willing to pay the extra rental fees above what a purpose-built apartment unit would cost in today’s market. Looking at it from the other side of the coin, this also presents an opportunity for owners of purpose-built apartments. Those who are willing to invest in upgrading their common areas and suite turnovers, to bring their property to a condo-style quality, have more proven rental upside potential as they can tap into the demand for these highend units. Location and quality of property improvements certainly play a factor in determining the ability to achieve the rents at condo levels. CMHC indicated that those who have implemented these types of improvements are seeing

The indicators on the Job Market and the Cost Gap also indicate downward pressure is coming on vacancy rates over the next year or two. The economic data provided by CMCH shows that Ontario’s job market is on the rise. Pair this influx of working individuals with the ever increasing Cost Gap and it could mean that we will have more qualified tenants applying at our buildings. The Cost Gap, especially in major city markets, is ever increasing. The cost of ownership in a city like Toronto far outweighs the cost of renting. As such, many individuals remain as renters but can afford to live comfortably in a rental situation because of the job market growth. Lastly, as an investor in multi-unit residential properties, the economic indications presented by CMHC show that this ‘commodity’ remains a very stable investment. When compared to other investment models, the apartment building sector has far less volatility when compared to stocks, gold, or bonds. CMHC has always provided great insight into the rental market in Ontario. This year’s annual breakfast was no different. The multi-unit residential market remains strong and worthy of further investment.

LAKE SIMCOE WATERFRONT 2015 ANNUAL MARKET REVIEW

ith the allure of owning a recreational waterfront property in cottage country on the rise, it’s no surprise Real Estate Broker Roxanne Henderson’s analysis (http://goo.gl/n9iKyp) of the number of Lake Simcoe waterfront sales in 2015 shows an increase of 15 per cent since 2014. As an update on other cottage country areas, according to Chestnut Park’s Muskoka and Area Report all of the markets encompassed by the Muskoka and Area Realtor’s Association reported a 23 per cent increase in sales compared to 2014. The Haliburton Highlands also reported a 30 per cent increase and the Muskoka’s big lakes, Lake Joe, Lake Rousseau, and Lake Muskoka, have produced increased sales for three consecutive years. The results achieved are 19 and 31 per cent in 2014 and 2015. LAKE SIMCOE RECREATIONAL PROPERTY HIGHLIGHTS:

• Many Lake Simcoe dwellers describe waterfront property as their second home rather than their seasonal cottage. • Lake Simcoe’s proximity to Toronto enables homeowners to enjoy their recreational property all year long. • With 240 km of shoreline around Lake Simcoe and several distinct communities it is not surprising to see a wide range of market values around the Lake. • Construction continues to dot the shoreline as more people are building

COM_1716.indd 42

new homes or substantially renovating their existing waterfront homes. • There were a total of 137 waterfront sales reported in 2015 by The Toronto Real Estate Board compared to 119 sales in 2014. • Oro-Medonte reported the highest percentage price year-over-year with a 29.3 per cent increase in the average selling price. Georgina’s waterfront sales continue to demonstrate strong growth and demand by buyers in a wide price range. The close proximity to Toronto makes this area popular with commuters to Toronto and the GTA. Beaverton waterfront real estate is a bargain when compared to other areas, particularly since most properties are direct waterfront with the shoreline deeded to the property. The remarkable feature of the eastern shore is the gorgeous western sunset views that are unprecedented in other areas with few exceptions. The Oro-Medonte area is particularly popular with buyers seeking a waterfront home that also offers quick access to ski country during the winter months. This area enjoyed the largest increase in the average selling price year-over-year. In 2015, Innisfil experienced a reduction in the average selling price since 2014. This is due to a reduction in the number of sales over $1.5 million that dropped from seven sales in 2014 to only two reported sales in 2015. Orillia had a consistent number of sales with an average increase to waterfront values of 9.7 per cent. The waterfront market has been performing consistently over the past 24-months in this area, which is considered the most northerly point on Lake Simcoe. For reporting purposes we have not included sales under $300,000 and only Lake Simcoe properties were included in the analysis. Riverfront properties were excluded. All statistics obtained from both Toronto and Barrie Real Estate Boards. Community Highlights: http://goo.gl/2f0Wpp

WINNING THE GAME Why some businesses succeed and others fail By Jayson Schwarz

s a lawyer of 35plus years, I have seen many small businesses flourish and many fail. The big question is why some succeed and others fall. Here are just a few comments that may not really be legal comments but certainly reflect my observations. In addition some businesses succeed despite themselves and later no one can figure out what went wrong. Here are some insights that may prove of value.

1. UNDERFINANCED. Whether it is a start up or purchase of an existing business, most new entrepreneurs spend far too much of their funds on sizzle not steak. What does that mean? As an example, too much money is spent on oversupply of inventory, leasehold improvements or other capital investments that leaves the business short of the money it needs for marketing or cash flow until receivables turn over. Maintaining a cash reserve to carry the business through to success is critical. 2. LACK OF KNOWLEDGE. Many people get into a business for which they have lack of training or knowledge. They think they can learn on the job. Wrong. Go intern. Work for a successful company and put in the time until you learn how it should work, what to look out for – and how to run the business.

3. THE AMAZING IDEA. The one thing I have seen over and over is a client coming in with the idea that will change the world. He has the next pet rock, hoola hoop, slinky, iPod etc. There is a huge distance between an idea and fulfillment. Remember a great idea does not make money – the execution and delivery does. In order to make the idea work we need to develop a cohesive, coherent and practical business plan in writing. The business plan will allow you to express the detail and direction necessary to make the idea work and by the way, before an idea can be worked on, extensive market research is a critical factor. 4. THE LONE RANGER. John Donne in the early 1600s said: “No man is an island, entire of itself, every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main.” In other words you need to recognize that every successful small business succeeds as a result of a team put together by the entrepreneur. If we try to do it alone what is quickly discovered is not the leader’s strength but his weakness. Many failures come to roost when sales are exploding, market share growing and suddenly it falls apart because the back room is missing. The entrepreneur brilliantly develops his business but loses because of faulty accounting or controls. We all need to recognize our strengths and find the right partner or staff to supplement our weakness. 5. BAD PARTNERS. Everything is always good when it starts but when it becomes too successful or too tough it usually breaks down. Trust is huge, so be careful and choose wisely. Make sure you have the relationship in writing. Also never do a deal where the risk is lopsided. Everyone must be in the same place. 6. PENNY WISE AND POUND FOOLISH. Ok, so we can’t afford to hire a lawyer to incorporate or advise. We pass on an accountant. Hmmm, we’ll get one later. This attitude is deadly. Get your professionals at the beginning to ensure that your business is properly constituted; that your personal liability is not on the table and that the structure is in place from the beginning to allow for growth and proper process. Ok that’s enough of this sort of thing. I hope this helps to make you think, explore and consider. Good luck, start your business and success. Perhaps the most difficult part of writing these articles relates not to the actual writing, but thinking of a topic to address. Please mail, deliver or fax letters to the magazine or to us, use the web site (www.schwarzlaw.ca), email (schwarz@schwarzlaw.ca), or phone us at 888609-8888 and give us your questions, concerns, critiques and quandaries. We will try to deal with them in print or electronic form.

These are some of the key findings of a study by Avison Young on the Canadian retail real estate landscape, released recently. “Despite economic headwinds, retailer failures, digital disruption and the purchasing habits of a new generation, Canada’s evolving retail property sector and its top malls are doing just fine,” comments Bill Argeropoulos, Principal and Practice Leader, Research (Canada) for Avison Young. “While hundreds of millions of dollars have been invested to renovate, expand or upgrade some of the country’s prominent malls to attract new retailers and combat e-commerce, the retail sector continues to attract new entrants and significant investor interest as well.”

ith online sales growth in Canada expected to outpace that of the overall retail market in the coming years, traditional stakeholders are embracing e-commerce, and fortifying their bricks-and-mortar presence with significant capital investment and innovation as they adapt to the constantly morphing shopping landscape. Thus far, the country’s leading retail centres have performed consistently well, and the retail real estate sector continues to attract its share of investor interest.

8.8%

Total retail investment sales volume Retail sector annualized return vs. 8% REALpac/IPD Canada Property Index overall return

Avison Young’s retail landscape study brings together information gathered from several sources. “More than $4.5 billion worth of retail assets changed hands in 2015, accounting for almost 20 per cent of the overall commercial real estate investment sales volume in Canada,” adds Argeropoulos. “Though retail property investment sales volume was down 31 per cent from 2014, retail as an asset class has been a hot commodity coming out of the Great Recession with almost $32 billion in retail property sales completed since the end of 2009, second only to the office sector with $35 billion.” The study shows British Columbia (6.6 per cent) and Vancouver (9.9 per cent) were the leading province and city in the nation, respectively, for retail sales growth in 2015, followed by Ontario (4.5 per cent) and Toronto (5.4 per cent). However, oil-dependent provinces (Alberta and Saskatchewan) will have the weakest outlook for retail sales in 2016, with Calgary and Edmonton expected to see declines of 2.3 per cent and 2.2 per cent, respectively, by year-end 2016. Argeropoulos notes: “Canada’s top 10 performing malls had 2015 retail sales of at least $994 per square foot. Rounding that lowest figure upward, these centres form an exclusive ‘$1,000-per-square-foot club,’ largely backed by the country’s

THE COMMERCIAL INVESTOR SPOTLIGHT biggest institutional owners. The leaders in this club can hold their own among the top-performing malls in North America.” Argeropoulos also notes that, according to Statistics Canada, the retail industry is the leading employer in Canada, accounting for slightly more than 15 per cent of jobs nationwide at year-end 2015. The retail sector’s recent performance is attributed to a number of positive factors. Among them is a weak Canadian dollar, which is discouraging Canadian consumers from crossing the border to shop in the U.S. and, at the same time, boosting domestic sales. Other positive factors include relatively low vacancy, controlled new supply and solid population growth, especially in major urban regions. The study’s other highlights note that: • Toronto’s Yorkdale Shopping Centre

was Canada’s most productive mall with retail sales of $1,610 psf in 2015, displacing Vancouver’s Pacific Centre, which topped the list one year earlier; • The top 10 malls accounted for 10 per cent of the total retail mall rentable area and 12 per cent of the total number of stores in 2015; • Year-over-year retail sales growth among the top 10 malls ranged between three per cent and 20 per cent; • Pension funds and their real estate arms (e.g. Cadillac Fairview, Oxford Properties, AIMCo, and Ivanhoé Cambridge) own and manage the country’s top-performing malls, in some cases as joint ventures; • Five of the 10 top-performing malls in Canada are in Ontario, and four of the five Ontario centres are located in the Greater Toronto Area; • The retail property sector achieved the highest total annual return (8.8 per cent) of the major asset types tracked by the REALpac/IPD Canada Property Index in 2015 – outpacing the overall index return of eight per cent. Argeropoulos concludes: “Despite the retail sector’s strengths, there are also weaknesses, namely: Uneven retail sales and GDP growth, record-high consumer debt levels and the Canadian-U.S. exchange rate, which could lead to higher wholesale costs and squeeze profits.” Avison Young is among the world’s fastest growing commercial real estate services firms.

FIVE THINGS EVERY CONDO INVESTOR SHOULD WATCH OUT FOR By Andrew la Fleur

he first step in buying a new condo is to sign the purchase agreement and hand over your cheques. Ensuring that you have a good contract with favourable terms up front can be the one thing that makes or breaks your investment in the long term. Here are five things that every condo investor should watch for in their contract.

1. Capped closing costs If you don’t have caps in place for things like development levies and utility hook-ups, your closing costs could theoretically be in the tens of thousands (not including land transfer taxes and legal fees). The number one thing you want to make sure your contract includes is a cap on these costs. There is always a concern over rising development charges for condos and you don’t want any surprises. Speak with your lawyer about caps when you have your contract reviewed. Development and utility caps are the maximum amount these charges will be at closing — could be less but will not be more.

2. “Nickel and dime” charges Most contracts are pretty standard with respect to fees and closing costs, but

some developers do try to sneak in charges for all sorts of things related to the purchase; $100 here, $50 there...they can be creative! A good lawyer will probably point out some of them to you and recommend you ask them to be waived. It’s up to the builder’s discretion on what they will waive and what they will not.

3. Renting during occupancy Most contracts by way of their standard wording forbid the renting of your unit during the occupancy period, however, most developers will grant you permission to rent during the occupancy period if you request this in your contract. Make sure you do request this clause if you are buying for investment.

4. HST rebate Something you probably won’t find in your agreement is any talk of HST implications if you are buying for investment. The agreement assumes you are buying to live in the unit and therefore all HST is already included in the purchase price. However, if you are planning on renting out the unit, you might have to pay a portion of the HST on final closing and then apply to the government to receive the money back in the form of an HST rebate. Consult a qualified lawyer and understand the implications on your cash flow.

5. Assignment clauses An assignment clause allows you to sell prior to final closing, usually under some conditions set by the builder and often there is a fee associated with executing the assignment. Hopefully you intend on closing on your unit and holding it for the long term, however, it is always wise to have a back-up plan in case your plans change in the years between purchasing and completion of your unit, so make sure you are able to sell by assignment.
