GTA commercial REALTORS report commercial market figures

T

oronto Real Estate Board Commercial Division Members leased a total of 675,474 square feet of commercial space in April 2012, representing a decline of 20 per cent in comparison to April 2011. Approximately 91 per cent (612,132 square feet) of April leasing activity was accounted for by industrial space – down by 17 per cent compared to a year earlier.

The average lease rate for industrial properties was $4.60 per square foot net (calculated for transactions where pricing was disclosed). This result was up by more than six per cent in comparison to April 2011. Average lease rates for other commercial and office properties were also up year-over-year in April.

“The past year has been an interesting time for commercial real estate in the GTA. Domestic demand in Canada, including business investment, has been strong.

This has certainly prompted some businesses to take on new space. At the same time, however, the recovery of the export sector has been anemic.

“Many GTA businesses focussed on the production of goods or services for foreign markets have likely put real estate decisions on hold,” said TREB Commercial Division Chair Larry Purchase.

Commercial Division Members reported a total of 44 sales (industrial and other commercial combined) through the TorontoMLS system in April 2012 – up by 16 per cent in comparison to April 2011. The annual change in average selling prices was mixed. The average industrial sale price per square foot was down by 13.7 per cent, while the average sale price for other commercial categories was up by 27.3 per cent.

“The composition of transactions can differ from one year to the next. There were a greater number of industrial transactions involving large properties this April compared to last. Because larger properties tend to trade for less on a per square foot basis, it makes sense that the average industrial price was down year-overyear. Conversely, other commercial transactions were weighted toward smaller unit sizes this year, helping explain some of the increase in the average selling price for this market segment,” continued Purchase.

Commercial Real Estate Leaders Remain Modestly Optimistic Southwest Ontario

REALpac survey shows continued confidence in health of Canada’s real estate markets

C

anada’s commercial real estate leaders remain positive about the health of the sector, but see growth tapering off as the year progresses, according to the Second Quarter

2012 Canadian Real Estate Sentiment Survey produced by the Real Property Association of Canada (REALpac) and FPL Advisory Group.

The quarterly survey measures the current and future outlook of Canada’s top commercial real estate executives on overall real estate conditions, real estate asset values, and availability of capital.

A broad spectrum of owners and asset managers, financial services providers, building operators and related service providers across Canada are surveyed for this comprehensive report, which includes both qualitative and quantitative findings.

The Q2 2012 survey released today shows the Overall Real Estate Sentiment Index achieved a ranking of 63, up slightly from 61 in Q1, but down from 71 a year ago. While respondents have seen steady improvements in market conditions, many expect growth to stabilize or slow in the coming year. Scores above 50 reflect positive trends and those below indicate negative trends in questions ranked between 0 and 100. The second quarter marked the eleventh straight quarter in which the overall ranking has been above 50, reflecting the consistently positive outlook of respondents.

The Current Index came in at 66, up from 64 in the first quarter - reflecting more robust economic growth in the first half of 2012. The Future Index also edged up to 61 from 58, but is still down from 69 a year ago. Even though many of the surveyed executives expressed concern about how much room is left for improvement, the majority do not expect drastic changes in the near term. Rather, a more modest positive outlook for the rest of 2012 was a consensus finding.

“What’s interesting about the survey results is that they show how confident Canada’s commercial real estate leaders remain about market conditions in the face of continued global economic uncertainty,” said Paul Morse, CEO, REALpac.“Even though some executives expect a slowing or pause in activity, their outlook remains positive, and improving equity availability is another vote of confidence for future growth.”

Asset prices continued to reflect high demand for commercial real estate, with 91 percent of respondents reporting improved values over last year. Yet, 54 percent of executives expected pricing to level in the coming year and 37 percent saw only a modest increase in values going forward. One executive noted that this period of cap-rate compression has been “backed by both availability of debt financing and equity capital.”

Debt capital continued to build on the increased availability seen throughout 2011. Slightly less than half of the survey respondents reported increases in debt availability over a year ago; while a mere two percent reported a slight decline. As an executive noted,“There appears to be ample capital for quality products, almost an endless supply if the asset class and quality is good enough.” However, a growing group of surveyed leaders (72 percent) took a neutral stance on debt availability going forward.

Equity capital availability saw an even stronger improvement than that of debt, although it had been lagging debt in recent quarters. Sixty-nine percent of those surveyed reported increased equity availability over the trailing year.

Even though half expected availability to remain about the same for the year ahead, this is still beginning to excite many market leaders. As one leader commented,“Equity is plentiful; whether it’s institutions or individuals, there is a demand to be in real estate.”

Offer Presentation on Investment Properties.

By Dino Nicosia, Broker of Record, Investpro Realty and Appraisal Ltd. Brokerage

So you have decided to buy an investment property. You found the property just right for you and are now ready to take the next step. Before you proceed with making the offer, ensure that an experienced realtor or lawyer who is familiar with investment properties represents you.

Hamilton

Consider that when you are buying a home you are basically buying bricks, mortar and land. However, when buying an investment property, you are also buying rental income and you are assuming tenants along with all the tenant rules, regulations and laws that accompany them.

There are also extensive regulations and by-laws such as Fire, Zoning, Health and Safety issues and so on. Your offer must have the appropriate clauses and conditions to address all of the above-mentioned issues.

TENANTS Your offer should request Tenant Acknowledgments on closing date, whereby a tenant confirms in writing the following: • Monthly rent, • Rental deposit paid and when, • Move-in date, • Whether any appliance is owned by the tenant, • Whether any utilities are paid by the tenants, • If there are any ongoing Landlord and Tenant disputes • Date of last rent increase Should a tenant refuse to sign, a Declaration signed by the Seller would suffice.

EQUIPMENT Other information that the offer must contain is confirmation of all equipment and chattels that belong to the property are included in the purchase price (i.e. lawn equipment, vacuum cleaners, appliances, snow blowers, cleaning and hardware supplies, ladders etc.).

FIRE REGULATIONS The offer should require that the Seller provide a “Letter of Compliance” from the Fire Department confirming the Fire retrofit was completed and is in compliance. I also highly recommend that a request is submitted for annual fire inspection certificates from a qualified technician.

ZONING REGULATIONS The offer should request that the Seller provide a copy of a Zoning Certificate which verifies that all units in the property are legal and meet the zoning bylaws, also confirming that no outstanding work orders exist.

REQUISITIONS The offer should also be conditional upon receiving a copy of the following: • All existing contracts, warranties and invoices for recent capital expenditures, • Utility bills for at least 2 years, • Financial statements for at least 2 years, • Existing survey, • Insurance policy, • Current detailed rent roll, • All inspection reports in Owner’s possession (i.e. Structural, Environmental, Appraisal etc.), • Any Rent Review Order available • Property tax confirmation and assessment notice INSPECTION CLAUSE Consider including a clause allowing for a full property inspection including all units; this is an escape clause terminating the offer if you are not completely satisfied with the said inspection “at your sole and absolute discretion”.

INSURANCE CLAUSE With today’s strict rules and regulations some properties may not be insurable due to environmental or electrical issues, or the insurance company may charge a premium for certain properties. This justifies the insertion of a clause conditional allowing the buyer to obtain satisfactory insurance.

FINANCING CLAUSE Unlike residential purchases, the conditional period for arranging financing should be extended (15 to 30 business days). Reason being, commercial lenders will likely request an appraisal, environmental and structural studies before final approval. If you plan to go with a CMHC insured mortgage, be prepared to extend this clause for a much longer period.

Failure to address any of the above matters may result in unnecessary grief, potential lawsuits and possibility of paying too much for the property.

Not all issues are covered in this article. For more information on Commercial Offers and related Schedules, call or email Dino Nicosia.

Commercial Real Estate & Business Opportunities

Making money in real estate is an endless topic that can include many types of investments. Some examples are raw land, apartment buildings, homes, commercial buildings and more. Whatever the type however, the profits are made in some of the basic ways listed below. Use this list to get yourself thinking of the possibilities.

1. Appreciation – Making money in real estate can be as simple as holding on and waiting. Location can play a big part in appreciation as not all areas of a city rise equally over time.

2. Tax Deductions – Owning an investment property has number of advantages. Any money spent on an investment property is generally tax deductible as is interest paid.

When selling a rental property only capital gains tax applies which is among the most favourable type of gain or income that a Canadian Resident can earn.

3. Paying down debt builds equity - You gain equity with every payment you make. This principle really multiplies when tenants paying rent are the ones building equity for you.

4. Cash flow - When you buy an income property the right way, you not only have your tenants paying all the costs and paying down the mortgage loan, but you also have positive cash flow.

5. Buy low - When you buy below market you get instant equity that will be converted into a profit when you sell. There are a host of reasons why an owner may become a motivated seller. A good Real Estate Professional can go a long way in helping you identify these opportunities.

6. Sell high - Keep your property in good shape, make it easy to buy, and don’t be afraid to sell in good times as real estate is cyclical with prices moving up and down over time.

7. Offer financing - Particularly with investment properties, you can often get substantially more for a property if you offer financing. This is especially true if you let someone buy it with little money down. You can earn excellent interest on the loan.

8. Change use - If there is a higher use for the property, you can convert it to make it worth more to the next owner. Sometimes this means making condos into apartments, or apartments into condos. Maybe converting a home into office space will get the biggest return.

9. Improve and repair - Repairing anything that is needed is obvious, but you need to look creatively and carefully to find improvements to make. Concentrate only on those that will raise the value several times more than what they cost you.

Hamilton

Making Money In Real Estate

Making money in real estate can be a wonderfully creative process. Just look at the sources of profits listed here, and think of how you can use a few of them on your next real estate investment.

motional investing doesn’t pay – it costs you instead, says Andy Beer, strategic investment planning expert at Investors Group.

He notes that volatility is the nature of stock markets, but with a carefully selected and properly diversified ‘mix’ of assets, you can effectively reduce risk, and enhance your chances of achieving your long-term goals.

Beer also suggests that dollar-cost averaging (the strategy of buying a stock or fund on a regular basis regardless of the stock

Beer explains that trying to time the market or an individual stock almost never works. But time in the market often does by delivering better overall returns – especially when you couple your long-term stay the course strategy with other key strategies such as effective asset allocation and dollar-cost averaging.

Commercial Real Estate & Business Opportunities

These are exciting days to be a part of the purpose-built rental apartment industry. Cap rates have compressed across the country, average rents are rising and vacancy rates are at new lows. For the past five years, the purposebuilt rental apartment industry offered the best returns on investment of any real estate investment sector.

But investing in or developing purpose-built rental apartment housing isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t as simple as getting shovels in the ground. You need specialized knowledge to understand what customers want and what the marketplace will give you. To ensure investments are made wisely, investors and developers should commission an apartment construction feasibility study from consultants with strong expertise in the industry.

Building new apartments can be a risky proposition requiring considerable up front investment. Developers and investors need to know that the proposed building fits well in the marketplace and that its units will be rented out quickly once the building opens for tenants. Will rents be high enough and will suites stay occupied long enough to provide a good rate of return? Feasibility studies, as their name suggests, help determine whether the proposed development is feasible.

The Importance of Objectivity

Hamilton

How to Know the Apartment Market

Why go to a consultant for a feasibility study instead of trying to do one yourself? As an investor, you may be too close to the investigation. Your objectivity may be compromised, or you may not have the experience to see all potential pitfalls. It is too easy for investors to be swayed by wishful thinking. By commissioning an expert consultant who does not have a stake in the project the investor receives an objective analysis of the project, with honest advice on what is possible and what is not.

A good feasibility study should answer key questions about a proposed project, such as: how saturated is the market? Can the new rental units be absorbed? What mix of units, amenities and features does the market already have, and what are appropriate for prospective renters in that market? What are the highest rents one can charge?

What other potential income exists? What vacancies and delinquencies can you expect? What will the operating costs be? Is financing available and where can you get it? What are the best techniques to lease out the units quickly and for the highest rents? What sort of marketing should take place? And is it better to build and sell the property for an immediate profit, or should you hold the property for long-term cash flow?

Remember that every market is different, and what model works in one market wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily work as well in another. A feasibility study will make this clear.

Strong Research from the Field A feasibility study will tell you whether or not you should build your proposed development. The answer will be based on the advantages and the disadvantages of the marketplace the proposed project will be built into. It will also suggest ways a better return can be provided if changes are made to the original proposal, or it can suggest if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s better to wait or look elsewhere. Are other markets undersupplied?

Whatever the case, the feasibility study will be based on detailed data acquired through extensive research. Field surveyors will visit competing rental properties (and condominium properties as well) within the local market for comparison. The best research looks at all details, from curb appeal to leasing forms, unit mix, size of units, amenities and comparable rents, as well as census data and CMHC data, in order to thoroughly assess the local competition and identify where best to build, and what with.

Knowledge is Money An expert consultant can mean the difference between a leased-up, high rent apartment building, and a high vacancy headache. By offering objectivity and experience, the consultant gives you the information you need to hear before you commit large sums of money into a costly and potentially risky venture. The purpose-built rental apartment industry is offering great returns on investment these past few years. A feasibility study helps ensure you reap those returns.

Consumer confidence jumps sharply in May a sign that consumers may be feeling better about the economy as we head from spring into summer. According to the latest consumer confidence survey conducted by TNS, the Index measured in at 98.8 this month, more than three full points higher than the 95.4 posted in the month of April.

“It seems that Canadians have woken up about the economy and are liking what they see.” said Norman Baillie-David, vice president of TNS in Canada and director of the marketing and social research firm’s monthly tracking study.“Since the beginning of the year confidence has been flat, or just waffling up and down, as Canadians didn’t seem to be preoccupied with economic concerns.

This most recent and significant jump bodes well for the summer months.”

The Present Situation Index, which measures how people feel about the economy right now, also rose significantly in May, climbing five points from 94.0 in April to 99.2 in May, the highest it’s been since July of last year: “Canadians are feeling better about money issues today, in fact, better than they have for almost a year.” continued Mr. Baillie-David.

The Expectations Index, which measures people’s outlook for the economy six months from now, also jumped higher, rising more almost four points from 99.0 to 102.7, passing the all-important “100” mark.

This means that the Index ticked higher than the long term average.

“Canadians are starting to feel bullish about the economy now, and in the near future.” added Mr. Baillie-David.

The Buy Index, which measures the extent to which Canadians’ feel that now is a good time to purchase a “big ticket item”, such as a car or a major household appliance, is perhaps the most important of the sub-indices, because if people feel now is a good time to buy, they may act on it, which will provide the real economic stimulus. The Buy Index is going along with the trend, also rising from 93.6 to 94.2.“Canadians won’t be rushing in droves to retail outlets just yet, but our numbers definitely show signs of cautious optimism, and hopefully the beginning of a trend.”

anadians’ consumer confidence took an encouraging jump in May,

Consumer Confidence Index tracks Canadians’ attitudes about the economy each month and is part of a global study conducted by TNS in 18 countries. Three indices are produced each month to show how confidence in the economy is changing: Present Situation Index; an Expectations Index; and a Buy Index. The Canadian fieldwork is conducted using the firm’s national bi-weekly telephone omnibus service, TNS Express Telephone. A total of 1,027 nationally representative Canadian adults were interviewed between May 14 and May 17, 2012. For a survey sample of this size, the margin of sampling error is plus or minus 3.1 percentage points, 19 times out of 20.

Guaranteed investments offer secure, predictable income Although it’s been four years since the world-wide financial crisis, Canadians are still wary of the stock market and about choosing the right type of investments. This is particularly true for those looking to securely grow their retirement nest-egg.

David MacFadyen, regional sales consultant, Individual Savings at Desjardins Financial Security offers his suggestions.

“The ongoing market volatility and low interest rates are two major reasons why people today are looking for predictable returns on their investments. Many are turning to conservative products like market-linked term investments (MLTI),”said MacFadyen.“These types of securities are a secure choice because so many investors lost up to 15 per cent of their retirement savings during the last recession. And since most people are living longer in their retirement years, they want to ensure their principal has growth.”

What are MLTI? Market-linked term investments are linked to the performance of well-established companies in specific sectors whose products and services are common in everyday use. This type of product is ideal for those who aren’t familiar with stock markets. Usually, the minimum investment amount is $500 and it’s eligible for RRSPs, LIRAs, RRIFs, TFSAs and non-registered savings. The typical maturity term is five years, there are no management fees and deposits are accepted up to age 95.

What about death and taxes?

When it comes to estate planning, MLTIs may be more beneficial because it includes a guaranteed death benefit. This means that the amount that you’d like to leave your lovedones as an inheritance is protected and it is paid out quickly.

If you had invested your MLTI in an RRSP or RRIF and your beneficiary is your spouse, he or she would have the choice of holding the investment until maturity. By contrast, if you had invested your MLTI in a non-registered account, your beneficiary, regardless of their relationship to you, could also choose to hold the investment until maturity.

Now, if you own a business, are selfemployed or a professional like a doctor, lawyer or notary, it may also provide you with essential creditor protection. Because this type of product is a contract issued by a life insurance company the beneficiary designation could prevent your creditors from seizing your investment, helping ensure you and your loved ones are protected.

NC To find more information about market-linked term investments, speak with your financial advisor. Or for immediate answers, visit Desjardins Financial Security at www.desjardinslifeinsurance.com.

Retail health: Canadian merchants confident about the year ahead American Express Canada’s Canadian Retail Insights Report

finds 85 per cent of retailers have optimistic financial outlook of next 12 months

Greater Toronto Area

A

merican Express Canada’s Canadian Retail Insights

Report finds 85 per cent of retailers have optimistic financial outlook about the next 12 months

Financial optimism dominates the outlooks of the majority of Canadian retailers, according to the inaugural Canadian Retail Insights Report, a study conducted on behalf of American Express Canada.

Surveying decision makers in the Gas, Grocery, Pharmacy, Restaurant, Fast Food, Apparel, General Retail and Big Box businesses, the Report focuses on what’s top of mind for Canadian merchants, including industry and business outlook; challenges and pain points; growth strategy; customer loyalty; competition and strategies for attracting customers.

Despite the turbulent economic climate of the past few years, the Insights Report reveals 85 per cent of Canadian retailers consider their financial outlook to be positive for the next 12 months, with Apparel (95 per cent), Fast Food (94 per cent) and Gas (85 per cent) being the most optimistic. Not only are these merchants feeling good about the next year, nearly two thirds (64 per cent) indicated they are not worried about the state of their business over the next 12 months. Merchants are

also optimistic about their industries’ financial outlook (80 per cent), with the one exception: the Drug Store/Pharmacy sector, where nearly half (44 per cent) indicate a negative financial outlook for the industry.

“Retail - in all its forms - is often portrayed to be in crisis. What we’re seeing in this Report is merchants are more optimistic than anyone might have imagined,” said Colin Temple, Vice President and General Manager of Merchant Services, American Express Canada.

Retailers focus on attracting new customers The optimistic outlook among businesses can be attributed to the fact that more than half (52 per cent) of those surveyed say their sales have grown compared to this time last year, crediting this growth to attracting new customers (72 per cent) and offering new products (56 per cent).

Across verticals, the study found that strategies to attract new customers differed. For example, 70 per cent of respondents in Restaurants, 61 per cent in Fast Food and 58 per cent of Apparel said they plan to use social media to attract new customers - all much higher percentages than the other sectors polled (average 52 per cent). Further, 39 per cent of Apparel retailers plan greater investment in e-commerce this year, and 57 per cent of Drug Store/Pharmacy respondents plan to do more marketing and advertising this year.

“While some growth tactics vary across sectors, the research found there are many similarities between such disparate verticals,” said Temple.“Significantly, Canadian merchants across the board share a realization that putting the focus on the customer needs to be a top priority and is critical to attracting and retaining customers.”

Possible mobile payment ‘fee grab’ worries small business

W

ith a steady stream of mobile and electronic payment options expected to increase, Canadian small business owners will be bracing themselves for the possibility of another fee grab on the part of banks, credit card companies and newer market entrants.

“Our experience with the introduction of premium credit cards saw massive new fees for business with zero consultation and widespread confusion for merchants,”said Dan Kelly, senior vice-president of legislative affairs for the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB). “While we are pleased that the industry is actively reaching out to small business and welcome the new guidelines for mobile payments, we remain worried that another fee-palooza will soon hit merchants.”

CFIB will be watching closely to see if card processors add another set of fees to process mobile transactions in the short

term. In addition, the creation of mobile wallets adds the possibility of pushing transactions to the highest possible fee option.

CFIB is very pleased that Finance Minister Flaherty has indicated that he will soon implement a payments advisory committee and consider changes to the Code of Conduct for the Credit and Debit Card Industry to address mobile issues.“The Code of Conduct has been a strong and nimble tool to address industry issues and CFIB is already developing amendments to ensure it helps address emerging mobile and electronic payments,”Kelly concluded.

To view the Code of Conduct for the Credit and Debit Card Industry: http://cfib.ca/a3164e As Canada’s largest association of small- and medium-sized businesses, CFIB is Powered by Entrepreneurs. Established in 1971, CFIB takes direction from more than 109,000 members in every sector nationwide, giving independent business a strong and influential voice at all levels of government and helping to grow the economy.

Service and loyalty help retailers battle increased competition

Other interesting findings

The Report reveals that Canadian merchants, regardless of sector, see a customer demand for excellent service, with 98 per cent of those surveyed revealing customers’ expectations are higher than ever. And with competition heating up in nearly every vertical - 88 per cent say their target customer has more options than ever before - 94 per cent indicated they are placing a focus on providing better customer service to stand out from the crowd.

By sector, the following are the biggest pain points for Canadian merchants: Drug Store/Pharmacy: Increasing Revenue (21 per cent) Gas: Rising cost of doing business (28 per cent) Grocery: Rising cost of doing business (31 per cent) Restaurant: Rising cost of doing business (35 per cent)

This focus on customer service is vital for all sectors as nearly every respondent (99 per cent) believes customer loyalty is driven through excellent customer service, and customer loyalty is imperative to their business (95 per cent).

Besides making investments to improve customer service, merchants plan to drive customer loyalty by focusing on sales and discounts (78 per cent) and expanding product offerings (66 per cent).

Despite plans to provide new product offerings, most retailers don’t anticipate they will open new locations within their current market (52 per cent), new Canadian markets (48 per cent) or internationally (68 per cent).

“With two-thirds of those we spoke with telling us it’s harder than ever to keep a customer, and nearly every sector looking for innovative ways to attract and retain customers, insight into purchasing behaviour is more important than ever,” said Temple.“With competition intensifying, merchants can’t rely on intuition or luck to find the silver bullet to keep customers coming back. Rather, they need a firm understanding of what resonates with those who shop at their businesses - and what will appeal to those who don’t.”

Fast Food: Attracting new customers (29 per cent) Apparel: Attracting new customers (26 per cent) General Retail: Attracting new customers (22 per cent) Big Box: Increased competition (28 per cent) About the American Express Retail Insights Report The American Express Retail Insights Report was conducted by Harris/Decima from March 16th to April 3rd, 2012 with a sample of 375 Canadian businesses from the drug store/pharmacy, gas, grocery, restaurant, fast food, apparel, and general retail sectors. The margin of error for the total sample is +/-5.1 per cent, 19 times out of 20.

Mortgages

What is the best real estate investment direction for a Real Estate investor?

What should I buy? Several single family, duplexes, triplexes, and/or up to 5 units? Or should I take the direction of (commercial) 6 units plus?

Q

: What are the Banks’ criteria for residential single family up to 5 units?

A: Lending criteria has drastically changed in the past year. We are no longer able to achieve high ratio loans above 80% on these types of loans and properties. It has become very challenging to acquire financing in this arena of investing.

Income is a major factor. You must be in a position to confirm your income. This makes it much more challenging when you are self employed or a contract worker. Credit scores are also critical.

If this is a direction you wish to choose, please confirm that your income is verifiable and that your credit scores are above 650. A lender will also take into consideration all of the other properties owned in this real estate class (residential). Only 50% of the rental income will be considered on the subject property and 100% of the debt (along with any other currently owned) when assessing your qualification. The majority of the lenders do have a minimum loan amount of $80k.

Please take note if the circumstance is different there may be a way to qualify; the above statement is based on general lending criteria.

Q

: What are the Banks’ criteria for commercial lending on multiresidential 6 units plus?

A: It is unbelievably easier to obtain a commercial mortgage (meaning 6 units plus) at a higher loan to value. CMHC will allow for up to 85% financing. Yes, CMHC can be a bit challenging to work with as their due diligence is time consuming and thorough. However, it is within reach whether you are self employed or salaried. Your personal income will be secondary as the primary income source for debt service is the rental income on the property. Other real estate assets are a positive attribute and work towards building greater overall net worth. Good credit is a must; lenders will not entertain a poor credit scenario. If you are considering a multi-residential property, please confirm that the debt coverage ratio is above 1.2 (see below for formula*). Please also note that location is a major determining factor in the approval process. 75% Loan-to-Value (LTV) conventional financing is also available with a possible vendor take back if the numbers on the property will support it. This is far less in cumbersome. *Debt Coverage Ratio = Annual Net Income/Annual Mortgage Payment

Q

: What benefit do I have when purchasing multi-residential (6 units+) versus residential (1-5 units)?

A: This depends on each investor’s objectives in investing in real estate and their exit strategy. However, multi-residential from my own experience does come with many benefits. The first would be in the ability to acquire and obtain a mortgage as described above. Second, management is the key to a successful asset, with having multiple units under one roof; it makes this appealing to larger management companies. You must have a solid, trustworthy and reputable company managing your assets. Third, it is much easier to sell off a cash flowing multi-residential property for liquidity purposes. There are economies of scale having many units under one roof. For example, if there are any vacancies, the impact is offset by the revenue from other units and may be handled without costing from your own pocket.

Q

: What direction do I take in real estate investing?

A: This is really a personal perspective and can only really be determined by a personal evaluation from an experienced financier bearing in mind an understanding of one’s ultimate objectives. If you have income that can support the purchase of multiple single-family properties, there are great options for you (i.e.

Rent to Own and other strategies). This also may be a great starting point for one to get their feet wet with a smaller investment.

If you have some funds that are accessible and your credit score is good, then multi-residential would be a good direction for those interested in a long term investment, a rehabilitation project and/or a possible retirement nest egg.

Q

: Is it wise to find investment partners when getting involved in real estate investment?

A: Based on experience, yes it could be a great strategy allowing you to acquire additional properties. It allows for the ability to arrange additional mortgages and divides the debt and risk amongst multiple investors rather than just yourself. I would however confirm that the parties involved are like minded, have the resources and have the same exit strategy in mind. Proper legal agreements are really necessary regardless (even if it is a close relationship in order to avoid any future misunderstandings or changes in circumstance).
