Women Olympians set stage for more female business leaders: Ernst & Young New report shows how to break down the barriers for women on and off the sports field
F
or the first time in Olympic history, women represent a record-breaking 40 per centplus of total athletes, raising the bar on our need to encourage women in all segments of society – especially business, Ernst & Young says in a new report.
High achievers: recognizing the power of women to spur business and economic growth finds that while all 205 participating nations sent at least one woman to compete in this year’s games, the great potential of women has yet to be fully realized. “The London 2012 Olympics mark an important milestone in gender equity,” says Fiona Macfarlane, Ernst & Young’s chief inclusiveness officer and managing partner, British Columbia. “But we need to extend this progress to the world of business. Women are the largest emerging market in the world, with global incomes expected to grow by US$5 trillion in the next five years – almost twice the growth expected for China and India combined.” Macfarlane adds: “Without a strong and visible investment in talent – and female talent in particular – businesses will not be able to thrive in today’s competitive marketplace. Female representation in the Olympics has reached incredibly encouraging levels, and it should inspire organizations everywhere to ensure they continue to harness the powerful potential of women in business, too.” Sport itself might be a key piece of that puzzle. Ernst & Young’s report finds that supporting women’s participation in sports and education, along with leading initiatives that increase their presence in senior leadership and on corporate

boards, and helping them to start and grow their businesses, are each ways to level the playing field for women in all sectors, including business. “The impact of sport on career development is undeniable,” says Macfarlane.“Sport enables women to develop leadership skills that contribute to their professional success. And studies show that women in leadership positions can enhance organizational performance in measurable, quantifiable ways.” The report finds that following factors can empower the broadest pool of talent: t Creating a social and economic environment that allows women to receive an education and start their own companies t &ODPVSBHJOH XPNFO UP EFWFMPQ CVTJOFTT BDVNFO BOE NBOBHFSJBM skills at large state-owned organizations or in the private sector t &OBCMJOH XPNFO UP CVJME SFMBUJPOTIJQT BOE DPOOFDUJPOT UISPVHI professional experiences in order to raise the necessary funds to start their businesses Ernst & Young is a global leader in assurance, tax, transaction and advisory services.

Commercial real estate leaders begin to express caution
T
he Real Property Association of Canada (REALpac) and
FPL Advisory Group are pleased to announce the results of
the Third Quarter 2012 REALpac/ FPL Canadian Real Estate Sentiment Survey. Though still in positive territory, the third quarter Current Canadian Real Estate Sentiment Index has dropped to its lowest level since 2009, as Canada’s commercial real estate leaders express caution and less optimism today than a year ago in regard to the broader Canadian economy and the prospects for sustained real growth. Sentiment stemming from an unstable international economy has Canadian senior executives taking cautious approaches and wondering if Canada will be next to face financial consequences. As REALpac’s 2012 Policy Briefing outlines, the federal government could increase sentiment by finalizing real estate investment trust (REIT) legislation, originally announced on December 16, 2011, thereby instilling confidence into one of Canada’s strongest industries throughout the economic downturn. The Canadian Real Estate Sentiment Survey, produced by the Real Property Association of Canada (REALpac) and FPL Advisory Group, 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 Q3 2012 survey results released recently show the Overall Real Estate Sentiment Index achieved a ranking 58, down from 63 in Q2, and 66 a year ago. Scores above 50 reflect positive trends and those below indicate negative trends in questions ranked between 0 and 100. The third quarter marked the twelfth straight quarter in which the overall ranking has been above 50.
This quarter, the Current Index is at 60, down from 66 in the second quarter and 64 in Q1. The Future Index also dropped to 56 from 61 in Q2 2012, and in fact, is one of the lowest response rankings since REALpac and FPL began publishing the Index in Q3 2009. The Q3 2012 survey results and interviews with leading industry executives highlight the belief that current commercial real estate market conditions will continue in a balanced and orderly fashion. However, the sentiment expressed was one of caution due to global economic uncertainty. Even as the market begins to plateau, general sentiment is still positive as respondents continue to note solid market conditions. Markets are liquid and healthy, capital is available and well priced, and the low interest rate environment and aggressive pricing of capital has resulted in a lot of activity in the market. Capitalization rates have reached extremely low levels and many respondents believe that they may have finally bottomed. Real estate is perceived as a relatively safe investment and given the low interest rates environment investors are driving demand for quality assets. Though some banks and institutional lenders are looking at tightening their debt requirements and becoming more cautious with their lending guidelines, there continues to be an abundance of debt capital available at low interest rates. One industry CEO indicated that while “debt is very cheap … people are still forced to put up equity and make disciplined decisions.” Industry leaders surveyed for the Q3 Index noted the abundance of equity capital. Allocations to real estate by major pension funds continue to be significant and are rising. One executive surveyed captured the sentiments of a majority of others in saying “Too many large players are chasing too few quality assets with lots of money”. To download a copy of the Q3 Sentiment Survey results and REALpac’s 2012 Policy Briefing, visit realpac.ca. REALpac is Canada’s premier industry association for investment real property leaders. Our mission is to collectively influence public policy, to educate government and the public, and to ensure stable and beneficial real estate capital and property markets in Canada.

VENDOR TAKE-BACK MORTGAGES (VTB) ARE BECOMING MORE POPULAR Dino Nicosia, Broker of Record, Investpro Realty and Appraisal Ltd., Brokerage
Recent changes to mortgage rules have created renewed interest in vendor take-back mortgages. This is where Sellers lends money to the Buyer, secured by a mortgage.
Hamilton
With the new stricter mortgage rules, in many cases the Buyer is forced to put more money down. The Seller is asked to assist in the sale by lending the Buyer money toward a down payment or in some cases the entire mortgage amount, effectively positioning themselves as the mortgage lender. Another advantage of a VTB mortgage is that it allows investors to borrow less from banks, allowing them to devote capital to purchasing other properties or use these funds for property improvements. Some Realtors and investors are not familiar with all the terms and conditions that should be covered on a VTB mortgage clause in an offer. The following is a list of what to consider when writing up a VTB mortgage; 1. Term or length of mortgage 2. Open or closed for repayment or partial repayment 3. Prepayment penalty 4. Interest rate and how it is calculated 5. Transferable or non transferable on a potential resale 6. Personal guarantees, by whom 7. Principal payments; amortized or interest only payments 8. How to deal with NSF or missed payments 9. Payable monthly or by weekly or balloon payment, etc. A VTB mortgage will benefit the Seller not only by facilitating the sale, but because the Seller can also take advantage of a much higher return on his money, as opposed to investing in a low interest savings account or risking the stock market. The VTB mortgage is a lot safer and more manageable than the stock market option. This is especially important if the Seller is retiring. I highly recommend that the Seller allow his lawyer to review a VTB mortgage clause, prior to signing. 8171452_3312

Understanding Student Housing There is always anticipation in the air around August. People joke about kids dreading the end of summer, but I find more excitement among the children as they buy school supplies. Everything is new, and the kids seem eager to explore all the new possibilities of the coming school year. Student housing is likewise a marketplace that is full of possibilities. This year, 800,000 students will be doing just that at colleges and universities across Canada. High school students today are aware of the need for a good post-secondary education to get ahead in the world, and the number of students turning to higher education is growing. It is estimated that, by 2021, the number of students attending post secondary institutions will have grown to almost a million. Hamilton
We should be asking ourselves, where will these students live? The universities are building hard to accommodate the new arrivals, but their limited funding has been focused on education and research facilities; there has been little growth in oncampus residences, and the residences that are in place are getting older and in need of repair. A number of institutions are already turning to the outside community to find housing for their students. In the past, student housing has had a reputation for being of poor quality, but those days are rapidly receding. Students today have more disposable income than ever before. They have parents and grandparents who are eager to have their children’s first home away from home be a safe, clean and nurturing environment located close to their school. Certainly there are challenges to meeting the need for student housing; there is a lot of turnover, and your properties had better be ready for tenants to move in by September 1st, or you’ll lose out. You’ll also have to invest more in student amenities in order to attract the best renters; many new buildings are opening with such things as study rooms, on-site gyms and even movie theatres. However, investors are discovering that if they build high quality housing that caters to the unique needs of students, they can earn a higher net operating income and a greater return on their investment compared to standard purpose-built rental apartments. Student housing is selling for some of the highest prices, and the highest prices per unit in the Canadian marketplace. I will be hosting two events where you can learn more about the challenges and opportunities of investing in and managing student housing. The first is a free online seminar I will be hosting on Wednesday, August 29 at 11 a.m. EDT (repeating at 7 p.m.).This seminar, entitled Big Opportunities in Student Housing, will feature special guests Melinda Farmer of Canadian Campus Communities (the largest student housing operator in North America) and Sandy Harrington of IC Funding Financial Corp. (a mortgage broker specializing in student housing). Together, we will discuss this market and how best to enter it. You can sign up to attend this webinar online at http://rockaptadvisors.ca/webinar.html And for a more intense introduction into the opportunities of student housing, consider attending a symposium we’re organizing for Thursday, October 18 in Burlington, Ontario. Here, we will not only have speakers from the industry with experience in how to build, how to finance and how to manage student housing, but we will tour some of the cutting edge properties that have opened up south of the border, at the University of Buffalo, NY. More details will be coming at http://rockaptadvisors.ca, so stay tuned. Student housing is an exciting marketplace to invest in, but you need to enter it with your eyes open. If you try to repurpose a standard apartment building for the student market, you will leave money on the table. The marketplace offers great benefits to those who invest in it right. Derek Lobo is the CEO of ROCK Advisors Inc., a brokerage that specializes in purpose-built rental apartments.

IS NEGATIVE CASHFLOW EVER OK? Anyone in real estate will tell you that cash flow is king. But, are there times where a negative cash flow makes sense? A recent Real Estate conference was held with many of Canada’s brightest investment experts. An audience member posed a question that was followed by a heated debate on the panel. The question was, “Is it ever okay to buy a negative cash flow property?” A relatively simple question on the surface however the debate on the panel was anything but that. Many of the experts answered very quickly “never,” yet other experts answered “yes”.
Hamilton
Just to clarify, they were referring to monthly cash flow, which is income minus expenses equal cash flow. Income is from rent, laundry, parking and anything else you can charge for. Expenses include mortgage(s)/debt payments, property tax, insurance, repairs and maintenance, property management, vacancy allowance, utilities and other miscellaneous ongoing costs. If the income is equal to all the expenses, then the property is said to break even. If there is more income than expense, then the property is said to have positive cash flow and if the expenses exceed the income, then the property is deemed to have negative cash flow. Many areas within Canada currently have negative cash flow simply because the rent in that area does support the current price. This is often seen in markets where the price has increased faster than rents and/or there is a high supply of rental inventory providing many options for tenants. If you have negative cash flow, then you as a landlord are paying some of the expenses every month with your personal income. This creates four outcomes: 1. It puts your entire portfolio at risk. In the event that you lose your job or current income, you can no longer support your negative cash flow, which often leads to the immediate sale of your investment property (especially if you have a small or no reserve fund at all.) Job losses often happen when markets slow. When the job market slows, so does the real estate market, making a sale even more difficult. This has happened many times in history and history tends to repeat itself. Many have lost their jobs and all their investments because of negative cash flow. If the investment supports itself and is not supported by your income, then you can lose your job and still keep your investments. Positive cash flow gets you through the downturns. 2. If any of your expenses such as repairs and maintenance suddenly increase, then your negative cash flow increases putting further stress on your job and/or personal income. You have no wiggle room. Not being able to repair your property causes further deterioration that decreases the value of your asset. With negative cash flow, this can be a huge burden even if you have a job. 3. It limits your ability to grow your portfolio. When an investor is seeking to acquire more properties, the lender will look at how much income is generated from the current real estate compared to the expenses. If the property shows negative cash flow, the lender may decline the loan or give you less money as they now have to use your job income as part of the qualifying. On the other hand, if the income exceeds the expenses, the lender is more likely to keep giving you money to continue to buy more income real estate. 4. When the mortgage matures and comes due for renewal, the existing lender may not renew if the negative cash flow is too high. Alternately, they may renew as long as you reduce the mortgage balance to a level that supports the existing income. If that were the case, you would need to come up with a lump sum of cash to reduce the mortgage balance.

Seasonal sales: Don’t let temporary opportunity turn into a permanent problem
F
or seasonal businesses those furious months of activity are the difference between profit and loss, between success and failure. It’s critical to plan operations ahead, to maximize opportunities before they are gone, just like the changing seasons.
Failing to plan could cost more than just increased sales. The same day-to-day risks every owner faces are amplified during the crush of a busy season. The pace quickens with new – and increased – customer demand on products and services. New, inexperienced workers may need to be added. Investment in new capital expenditures has the potential to blow out budgets. The business is under the spotlight, and as mistakes will be magnified in eyes of current and potential customers. A smart plan is critical for the business to succeed. Hire and train workers carefully: New and existing employees are the agents of the business, and the business is responsible and liable for any actions they take while on the job. There should be precision and professionalism in the hiring process, in order to protect the business. Do background checks as required; investigate references and past work experiences. If anyone files suit against a business because of the actions of a worker, the management needs to show that every reasonable step was taken to prevent a bad hire. Save all paperwork from the hiring process to show due diligence.
Be pro-active and ensure all workers are formally trained in company procedures, especially new or temporary ones, to avoid any incident. Documenting procedures protects the against charges of negligent training. Assess performance and adjust accordingly. Take action quickly, don’t allow issues to progress. Plan and secure new investments: Added workers and workload mean additional investments or borrowing for equipment and supplies. There is more to track and more to lose in equipment, supplies and money. Carefully assess the strategic goals of any new purchases, and make sure they fit into the updated business plan and financial forecasts. It’s important to document purchases, train accordingly, limit accessibility (especially among more temporary workers), and review for fraud. Update insurance policies for any expansions. Incorporate to limit business and personal liability: Even if you take time during the off-season and carefully plan your operations to avoid workplace dangers, you can’t anticipate everything that could damage the business. Establishing a formal business entity comes with enhanced limited liability protections. Take steps now, reap benefits later: While the busy season may come and go rather quickly, problems occurring during this period have the potential to leave a permanent mark on your business. Assessing newly emerging risks and planning for contingencies will help the busy season go more smoothly, and make the off-season that much more enjoyable. ARA

Canadians’ consumer confidence holds steady in face of bad employment news: survey
C
anadian Consumer Confidence has held
Central Ontario
firm, with some subindices actually gaining slightly, despite some bad economic news showing that Canada shed more than 30,000 jobs during the month of July. According to the latest consumer confidence survey conducted by TNS, the Canadian Consumer Confidence Index ticked up very slightly from 94.6 to 95.0 (which is not considered to be a change in statistical terms) in August. “Canadians are spending their time by the barbecue and not paying attention, except maybe to the Olympics.” explained Norman Baillie-David, senior vice president of TNS in Canada and director of the marketing and social research firm’s monthly tracking study. “Unless they were one of the unfortunate ones having a lost a job, Canadians have given the recent bad news a collective shrug.”
The Present Situation Index, which measures how people feel about the economy right now, fell very slightly, from 94.7 to 94.0, again, not enough to be considered a drop in statistical terms. However, the Expectations Index, which measures people’s outlook for the economy six months from now, rose an encouraging 1.5 points, climbing from 97.3 to 98.8, regaining some of the loss of the previous month.“This month Canadians have decided to look at the glass as being ‘half full’, instead of ‘half empty’”, continued Mr. Baillie-David. “While overall confidence is holding firm, Canadians are preferring to be cautiously optimistic, maybe even hopeful about the next six months.” 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 subindices, 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 also held firm, ticking up ever so slightly from 91.8 to 92.6. Again, the climb is not enough to indicate an increase in statistical terms - meaning it basically stayed the same in August.“The good news is that the drop in employment hasn’t caused Canadians to hold their wallets tighter. However, we’ll have to wait and see what September brings when people are back from the cottage and paying full attention again.”, concluded Mr. Baillie-David. 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 1,014 nationally representative Canadian adults were interviewed between August 6 and August 9, 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.

Avison Young releases mid-year 2012 Canada, U.S. Office Market Report: Canada’s stability eludes U.S. as most American markets continue to bounce near bottom of recovery curve
T
here continues to be a
significant dichotomy between the performance of the Canadian and U.S. office markets. While Canada has displayed stability, progress across the U.S. has been more uneven, stalling any significant growth.
adverse effect on the commercial real estate markets in North America. Unfortunately, the threat of an economic slowdown is still being talked about in the U.S. as the Fed debates another round of quantitative easing as we approach the upcoming presidential election, leaving the outlook for the second half of 2012 anywhere from neutral to negative.” Rose adds: “Although business and consumer confidence has waned of late, it’s not all doom and gloom, as many corporations on both sides of the border sport positive balance sheets and are flush with cash, ready to expand their operations. Despite the traditional lull in activity associated with the summer months, our brokers are reporting a healthy pipeline of deal flow, indicating the willingness of corporations to execute on their real estate strategies.” In the 25 Canadian and U.S. markets that Avison Young surveyed, market-wide office vacancy declined 80 basis points (bps) over the past 12 months to end the first half of 2012 at 12.7 per cent. This is an improvement over the previous survey (which covered mid-year 2010 to mid-year 2011), in which office vacancy increased by 80 bps. Collectively, the downtown vacancy rate declined by a similar figure to settle at 10.5 per cent at mid-year 2012, while the suburban rate closed at 14.8 per cent, down 60 bps from one year ago.
These are some of the key trends noted in Avison Young’s MidYear 2012 Canada, U.S. Office Market Report, released recently.
Eastern Ontario
The annual report covers the office markets in 25 regions: Calgary, Edmonton, Halifax, Lethbridge, Mississauga, Montreal, Ottawa, Quebec City, Regina, Toronto, Vancouver, Winnipeg, Atlanta, Boston, Charleston, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, New York, Pittsburgh, Reno, San Francisco, and Washington, DC. “As we close the books and look back at the firsthalf performance of 2012, we were hoping to be further along the recovery curve, at least in the United States,” commented Mark E. Rose, chair and CEO of Avison Young.“In light of moderate job and GDP growth, the majority of Canada’s markets continue to display healthy office market fundamentals, while the U.S. has progressed at a slower pace. This is not to say that advances have not been made; however, performance to date can be best characterized as uneven, with a handful of office markets seeing the greatest improvement.” “It’s also very difficult to ignore the perpetual stream of negative economic news from abroad and the
“Statistically, the performance of the Canadian and U.S. office markets is clearly evident in the wide gap that remains between the countries’ vacancy rates. While Canada’s overall office vacancy rate stands at 7.1 per cent, that of the U.S. is almost double, at 13.9 per cent,” points out Bill Argeropoulos, vice president and director of Research (Canada) for Avison Young. “It is worth noting that since the protracted recession began nearly four years ago, the markets have managed to move towards a new equilibrium, where uncertainty is the new certainty. Adapting to a new reality where Eurozone worries, civil unrest in the Middle East and general economic malaise in the U.S. are taken for granted, most cities are seeing at least some new office construction – demonstrating growing optimism,” he says. Canada According to the report, midway through 2012, Canada’s office vacancy rate was 7.1 per cent, down from 7.8 per cent at mid-year 2011, 9.9 per cent at mid-year 2010 and 8.4 per cent at mid-year 2009 – the depth of the recession.

The “Street Smart Real Estate Appraiser” –
Volume 12 Issue 09 8646421_3312
Who are the BUYERS? M
y last article focused on a real estate developer’s appraisal techniques, in which, the developer discussed a forecasting technique as a key ingredient to the valuation of real property he is purchasing. He wished more appraisers analyzed this part of a valuation - often an appraiser is stuck in the NOW or Effective Date. Whereas, when he is purchasing real estate, the focus of the current scenario is normally the worst case can he raise the rents, is the area improving, are there government plans applicable, are community grants available, is the zoning designation changing, is the market shifting, is the demand pent-up, are there new building products that will provide an advantage ... etc. This was a lesson to me as an appraiser in the trenches of day to day valuation. Result, as an appraiser I need to spend more time on forecasting items and less on the boiler plate content. Thanks Phil!! Again, I have found there is always someone that understands a property better than I do! Who are these other real estate pros? What do they think? What do they see? Why should I find them? What’s important to them? Why do they buy? Experts in the real estate industry offer an invaluable contribution to the valuation of a property. It’s best to talk to these people, understand what they think, know and see, and ultimately get their “technique”. The mission - become a “STREET SMART APPRAISER”!! A real estate appraiser’s valuation technique I’ll give you is “Who are the BUYERS”! John Penwarden taught me this appraisal “technique”. John is the Principal of D.J. Penwarden Appraisals Ltd., which is a full service real estate appraisal firm. John has served as an expert witness on forensic appraisal matters across Ontario. His firm specializes on ICI real property. His expertise in valuation dates back 35 years. My business relationship with John goes back to my early days in the appraisal industry. I had the fortune of being mentored by John for my final years before becoming a certified appraiser, in my humble opinion John is a legend in our industry. John is regularly on the short-list of the go to appraisers in my area. During my work with John he asked me to add a Buyer Profile section in the appraisal. To this day I have thanked him for this appraisal technique. That’s a question you should always face when doing a valuation. Who are the BUYERS? When I am doing an appraisal on a property often the first question I want to answer is the Buyer Profile of the asset. The Buyers could be a large local investor, small local individual investor, corporate owner user, private REIT (Real Estate Investment Trust), public REIT, mini-syndicate investment group, business operator, developer, home builder, land banker, speculator, opportunity buyer (bottom feeder), unique asset class operators, owner user, out-oftown buyer, government, not-for-profit agency, institutional group ... etc. Niagara Peninsula
As an appraiser understanding the key characteristics to potential buyers is a vital component to the overall value. Questions you should consider include: are there lots of buyers, are buyers bidding up values, do buyers have challenges finding product, lots of similar active properties, are the number of buyers decreasing, are the experienced buyers the only ones doing deals .etc. Obviously, if you are looking to purchase real property you are a Buyer. But what type of Buyer are you? Understanding this element of your valuation could protect your buying decisions.

With the exception of the Mississauga/Toronto West and Lethbridge markets, vacancy rates remained in single-digit territory, with six of the 12 markets posting vacancy rates below the national average (7.1 per cent). Of these, four are in the west (Vancouver, Calgary, Regina and Winnipeg) and two in the east (Ottawa and Quebec City). The biggest swings in vacancy occurred in Calgary (4.6 per cent, -350 bps) and Quebec City (6.8 per cent, +240 bps). Argeropoulos adds: “Although market-wide vacancy rates have fluctuated to varying degrees over the past year, office space is becoming increasingly scarce in Canada’s downtown markets and, as a result, is shifting the tenant-landlord pendulum in the landlord’s favour in most markets – at least for the near term. With an inventory of 224 million square feet (msf), the country’s downtown markets outperformed the suburbs and have been a real catalyst in pulling the market out of the depths of the recession and onto a more stable footing. Our mid-year 2012 survey revealed a national downtown vacancy rate of 5.2 per cent, down some 100 bps from mid-year 2011 and 300 bps from mid-year 2010.�
Niagara Peninsula
The tightest downtown markets currently are in Regina (1.8 per cent), Calgary (3.2 per cent) and Vancouver (3.3 per cent) – well below the national average of 5.2 per cent. Singledigit vacancy rates are commonplace, with the exception of Lethbridge (12.5 per cent), which posted the greatest year-over-year increase (+320 bps). Other notable vacancy increases over the past 12 months occurred in Quebec City (+290 bps, 8.6 per cent), Ottawa (+160 bps, 5.8 per cent), Halifax (+150 bps, 7.5 per cent) and Edmonton (+30 bps, 7.5 per cent). On the other hand, the greatest year-over-year decline was noted in Calgary, which plummeted 420 bps to 3.3 per cent at mid-year 2012. Vacancy rates also dropped in Vancouver (-170 bps, 3.3 per cent), Winnipeg (-120 bps, 5.2 per cent), Montreal (-110 bps, 5.7 per cent), Toronto (-40 bps, 5.5 per cent) and Regina (-20 bps, 1.8 per cent).

Eight of the 12 Canadian markets surveyed saw vacancy rates decline between 10 and 350 bps over last year, while the remaining four markets experienced vacancy rate increases of 20 to 240 bps. From west to east, vacancy rates fell in Vancouver (6.7 per cent, -90 bps), Edmonton (8.7 per cent, -50 bps), Calgary (4.6 per cent, -350 bps), Regina (1.8 per cent, -10 bps), Winnipeg (6.3 per cent, -60 bps), Toronto (8.1 per cent, -30 bps), Mississauga / Toronto West (12.4 per cent, -60 bps) and Montreal (7.7 per cent, -80 bps). In contrast and from west to east, vacancy increased in Lethbridge (11.4 per cent, +170 bps), Ottawa (6.1 per cent, +20 bps), Quebec City (6.8 per cent, +240 bps) and Halifax (8.2 per cent, +190 bps). Driven by commodities, largely the oil and gas sector, the spread in vacancy between western and eastern Canada widened from 60 to 160 bps.

Despite higher occupancy levels in most markets, the average gross rent for downtown class A space remained steady at $43 per square foot (psf). Similar to last year, Vancouver ($54 psf, +$3 psf) is the most expensive market, followed closely by Calgary ($51 psf), which posted the greatest change over last year, up $6 psf. The most affordable downtown markets can be found in Lethbridge ($24 psf, -$5 psf), followed closely by Winnipeg ($26 psf, -$6 psf) and Quebec City ($27 psf, +$1 psf). Canada’s suburban markets, comprising almost 222 msf, saw a more moderate decline in vacancy, falling from 9.8 per cent at mid-year 2011 to 9.3 per cent at mid-year 2012. This pales in comparison to the 230 bps drop witnessed between the midway point of 2010 and 2011. Seven of the 12 markets currently boast suburban vacancy rates lower than the national average. Two more markets (Vancouver and Lethbridge) fell into single-digit territory this year, bringing the total number of suburban markets currently with single-digit vacancy rates to eight, up from five markets two years ago. The lowest suburban vacancy rates are currently found in Regina (1.8 per cent, +70 bps) in the West and Quebec City (5.4 per cent, +200 bps) in the East. Vacancy rates fell the furthest in Western Canada, led by Lethbridge (-340 bps, 8.1 per cent), Calgary (-220 bps, 7 per cent), Edmonton (-200 bps, 10.8 per cent) and Vancouver (-170 bps, 9.6 per cent). Winnipeg experienced a similar increase to that of Regina, ending the first half of 2012 at 9.2 per cent. The declines in vacancy were not as dramatic for the Eastern suburban markets. The most notable decline occurred in Ottawa (-120 bps, 6.3 per cent), while Mississauga / Toronto West (-60 bps, 12.4 per cent), Montreal (-40 bps, 10.5 per cent) and Toronto (-20 bps, 10.5 per cent) saw more modest declines in vacancy. Suburban vacancy rates rose in Halifax (+220 bps, 8.8 per cent) and Quebec City (5.4 per cent, +200 bps) year-over-year. Niagara Peninsula
With an average gross rent for suburban class A space of $37 psf, well above the national average of $25 psf, Calgary and Regina are currently the most expensive markets in Canada. The least expensive suburban market in the country is Lethbridge, with an average gross rent for class A space of $16 psf. Winnipeg is the next closest at $23 psf. With nearly 83 msf, the nation’s largest suburban market, Toronto registered an average gross rent for class A space of $31 psf, up marginally from one year prior.
The report goes on to note that restricted supply has kick-started a new development cycle in most markets. Since last year, office space under construction in Canada has more than doubled to just over 17 msf (54 per cent preleased), equating to 3.6 per cent of the existing office inventory. Toronto is currently the most active development market in the country with almost 5.5 msf (43 per cent preleased) under construction. Some of the larger projects include Bay-Adelaide Centre East, RBC WaterPark Place, 120 Bremner Boulevard and One York. Close behind is Calgary with nearly 5 msf (66 per cent preleased), with the most notable announcement being Cadillac Fairview’s City Centre. Of the 17.2 msf under development across Canada, almost two-thirds or 10.8 msf (59 per cent preleased) is in the downtown markets. Once again, Toronto (4.2 msf) and Calgary (3.6 msf) are the most active, accounting for 72 per cent of total downtown development nationwide. Development in the suburbs increased from 2.8 msf last year to 6.4 msf (44 per cent preleased) this year. Vancouver (1.7 msf) and Calgary (1.4 msf) have the most suburban office space under construction in the West, while Toronto and Mississauga / Toronto West lead in the East with 1.3 msf and 1.2 msf, respectively. United States The 10-billion-sf U.S. office market continued its slow recovery over the last 12 months and posted an overall vacancy rate of 12.1 per cent at mid-year 2012. “Improvement rates were uneven with the greatest gains occurring in technology and energy-driven cities,” states Earl Webb, Avison Young’s President, U.S. Operations.“And, like last year, U.S. office markets have remained largely oversupplied, especially when compared with Canadian markets. Construction levels are constrained and that has contributed to the gradually falling vacancy, but the key to widespread growth will be job creation.” Looking at Avison Young markets, vacancy rates remained in the double digits at mid-year 2012, with an overall average vacancy of 13.9 per cent, down from 14.6 per cent at mid-year 2011. Class A rents averaged $46 psf and $28 psf (USD) for central business district (CBD) and suburban markets, respectively. Webb continues: “The flight to quality trend carried through the first six months of 2012, with tenants using their leverage to upgrade in oversupplied markets.” “While overall U.S. office market fundamentals have improved since last year, tenants still hold leverage in most markets. That is unlikely to change through the rest of 2012, as the upcoming presidential election and instability abroad are fueling uncertainty,” says Webb. Founded in 1978, Avison Young is one of Canada’s largest independently-owned commercial real estate services companies. Headquartered in Toronto, Ontario, Avison Young is also one of the largest Canadian-owned, principal-managed commercial real estate brokerage firms in North America. Comprising more than 950 real estate professionals in 32 offices across Canada and the U.S., the full-service commercial real estate company provides value-added, client-centric investment sales, leasing, advisory, management, financing and mortgage placement services to owners and occupiers of office, retail, industrial and multi-residential properties.

Mortgages
PRIVATE LENDING‌NOT ONLY FOR THE RICH Investment, this is a word that has become a central part of our everyday vocabulary. Almost everyone has some kind of investments. There are investments in stocks, retirement plans, insurance, commodities and of course real estate. It seems that almost everyone is interested in Real Estate investment. In the past this same kind of investing was called speculating, and was something, which was done only by the very rich. Until recently, it was thought that Real Estate investment was a risky business, only indulged in by those who could afford to lose money. Today’s thoughts about Real Estate investment has greatly changed. Real estate investment has proven to be one of the safest investments one can make, while yielding large returns. One of the best ways to make your investment money work for you is through mortgage lending. Instead of actually purchasing a property, you become the lender to someone who is unable to secure a full bank mortgage for various reasons. Many people who have become wealthy through real estate, started with mortgage lending. They were average people who with a calculated risk took a leap of confidence into Private Lending. They were soon to discover, as you will, Private Lending can be very financially rewarding. If you are thinking about becoming a private lender, there are a few things you should consider, before parting with your investment dollars. Private lending is much different from placing your money in an account with a guaranteed rate of interest. You will have to first find a trust worthy Mortgage Broker, who has a history of successful Private Mortgages. It is important to understand that not all Mortgage Brokers are the same, and some will be much more affective with Private Lending recommendations than others. You want to inquire about how many successful Private Mortgages they have arranged, and how many satisfied Private Lenders they have. It would not be out of line to ask for references; after all it is your money. So let’s say you have found an outstanding Mortgage Broker, who has satisfied all your questions with informative answers, are you now ready to hand them a cheque? Not yet. No matter how excited you are to begin collecting those big returns on your money, it is important to know exactly what kind of mortgages your Broker is planning to recommend you invest in. This is an Investor beware moment. Many Brokers have clients who are in dire circumstances and are at risk of losing their home. Often they are experiencing severe credit problems, are in arrears with their mortgage and taxes and need to consolidate their debts. Banks will not lend under these high risk circumstances. Although these mortgages are historically higher yielding, they are also extremely precarious and have a high rate of default. If you are the nerves of steel type, and don’t mind living on the edge, then this might be the kind of investment for you. However, if you like to lay your head on your pillow at night, and enjoy a restful sleep, not worrying about your money, I highly recommend that you steer wide and clear of this type of Private Lending. In years past Banks had a much different criteria for Mortgage Lending. Times have changed, and no longer do you go to your friendly Banker for a Mortgage. Lending rules have tightened and more often than not it is a faceless person on the other end of a telephone or the internet, who will be deciding if a mortgage will be granted to the applicant. It is because of the changes in the way the Banks gear their lending, people who have invested in income properties are finding it difficult to obtain the mortgages they need to purchase more properties. Enter you the Private Lender. Lending to this kind of client is generally a safer proposition, as the income property investor, usually has clean credit, a good income and other assets, that can be secured against the mortgage. This is the type of Private Lending that allows you to experience solid returns of 8-20 percent, while still granting you a degree of security.
One way to jump into Real Estate Investment is to use your Self-Directed RRSP’s. Many people who have invested in RRSP’s hoping this will become their retirement nest egg, have come to realize that the interest received is very low, and will not make much of a nest once they retire. A qualified and skilled Real Estate Investment Mortgage Broker, can make the process of using your Self-Directed RRSP rather simple, and can provide you with the complete details of your involvement. The Broker will also help you make an informed decision, of the type of lending that would suit your needs, and the methodology of implementation. They will help you check the potential Borrowers credit, have an appraisal of the property ordered, check on income and why the Borrowers are seeking funds. Most importantly the Real Estate Investment Mortgage Broker will help you decide if you should in fact lend funds to the Borrower in question. It should be noted; not all RRSP plan holders will allow you to Self-Direct your funds into Mortgages. You should check with you plan holders protocol on mortgage lending. This is something you should be looking into before you invest you money in any RRSP plan. Making your home’s equity work for you is another popular way to get involved in Real Estate Investment. By asking your Real Estate Investment Mortgage Broker to arrange to have your home equity made accessible to you, by re-financing your current mortgage, you will now have liquid funds ready for your investment. Interest rates are right now at an all time low. Why sit on money that could be earning you as much as 9-20 percent interest, which is a substantial profit considering the low interest of the Mortgage. This is an excellent opportunity, especially for seniors, who are living on a fixed income, to add additional monthly revenue giving you peace of mind. Earlier we spoke of feathering one’s nest for retirement, and the difficulty doing so on the interest currently being paid on low risk invested funds. If you were to re-finance your mortgage and take out 100 thousand dollars for investment, your monthly payment at 2.25 percent interest or a 25 year amortization would be $436.00. Now, if you were to lend the 100 thousand dollars, to a reliable Borrower at 14 percent interest on an interest only the monthly payment would be $1,167.00. You now have a tidy profit of $731.00, per month. You can pay down your own mortgage using the profits for the Borrowers interest payments. As an extra bonus, in the first year you will be paying down the principal of your mortgage a whopping $3,018.00 in the first year. At the end of one year your funds have typically come back to you, and you can re-invest. Now that’s truly making your home’s equity work for you. I have extolled on the positive benefits of Real Estate Investment, but what about the risk? With any kind of investment there are always risks and should be well researched before making an involvement decision. A major risk factor to consider would be if the Borrower were not to pay their mortgage obligation. The Private Lender is typically in second position. This is where your participation in your investment is important. It is advisable for you to ensure that the first mortgage is being paid and up-to-date, so you will have control over the sale process, which will help protect your investment. A good loan-to-value on the property is also something that should be considered, in the event of a mortgage default, as long as the first mortgage is up-to-date, you will be in a good position to charge back costs and any associated fees to the property sale. The best way to manage the risk of Real Estate investment is without fail always do your due diligence on the property and the borrower. Get a realistic valuation from a reputable appraiser or valuator. Real estate investing can be very rewarding, providing you follow the basic rules, use proper counsel, and do your due diligence. Become a wise investor, and do not let fear of the unknown cripple your vision of a great return.

Commercial lease agreements: Why landlords need lawyers
O
wnership of income-producing properties typically involves the negotiation of commercial leases with your tenant(s). This article explores a few of the considerations inherent in the negotiation and drafting of commercial lease agreements. Covering off all the bases
Commercial leases are complex documents and in this article we can only skim the surface. You need to speak to a lawyer who understands this area of law. There are fundamental components of the lease which a solicitor should prepare/review to ensure it meets your practical and commercial expectations. Principally, you will want rental payments defined and broken into “base rent” and “additional rent.” Base rent is your money. This is the amount used to determine net income. Additional rent represents all of the expenses that may be shared by the tenant or paid directly for utilities such as electricity, water and gas and things like maintenance insurance and realty taxes. If you are thinking of a net-net lease this is critical. Have you ensured the lease clearly defines how any increases in rent during the lease term are calculated? 18G COM
Aside from the financial considerations noted above, commercial leases must also cover off any “special” requirements to prevent confusion going forward; as an example, use clauses or renewal terms. Tenants typically prefer leases with renewal options. Tenants typically also desire the ability to “assign” their lease as this affords them flexibility to sell their business. Any such provisions should give you broad discretion to vet any prospective assignee to ensure they would be a prudent and reliable tenant. The lease should make sure the tenant will pay any legal and/or administrative costs incurred on any renewal or assignment of the lease. Negotiation of the lease Landlords often have their standard form or “boiler-plate” commercial lease agreement which they present to prospective tenants for review prior to execution. Savvy tenants will typically have retained a lawyer to review the document and offer proposed amendments. In a scenario where there will be a back-and-forth in respect of the ultimate wording – and particularly where the prospective tenant has retained a lawyer – I highly recommend hiring a solicitor to quarterback the negotiations. From my practice I have found landlords all-too willing to cut out provisions which could severely compromise them in the interests of not losing the tenant. Conclusion It goes without saying that all warranties, representations and terms outlining the landlord/tenant relationship must be incorporated into the lease agreement. These documents can often run between 30 to 50 pages in length. It is far better for your commercial lease to be “too long” than “too short.” Sitting down with an experienced commercial lawyer to properly negotiate and draft your commercial lease at the front end can save you considerable aggravation down the line. 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 website (schwarzlaw.ca), email (schwarz@schwarzlaw.ca), or phone us at 1-888-609-8888 and give us your questions, concerns, critiques and quandaries. We will try to deal with them in print or electronic form.

Canadians show their love for small business: RBC survey Majority are willing to pay more to support small business in their community
A
n overwhelming majority of Canadians (94 per cent) believe that small businesses play a critical role in the growth of the economy and almost nine-in-10 (88 per cent) view them as vital job creators, according to an RBC/Ipsos Reid survey. “The success and vitality of Canadian small businesses have played an important part in Canada faring well through these difficult economic times,” said Mike Michell, national director, Small Business, RBC.“It’s great to see that most Canadians view small businesses as the lifeblood of their communities and are proud to give them their support.” In fact, 61 per cent of Canadians say they would pay more for a product or service in order to support a small business in their community and eight-in-10 (83 per cent) say they support small businesses in their community by doing business with them or promoting them. For those who show their loyalty, 72 per cent say the reason is simply that they like to support owners who live and do work in their community.
the CommerCial inVestor: sPotlight 20G COM
“This type of consumer insight can help small businesses find the success they’re seeking,” added Michell.“For example, small businesses should capitalize on local support by becoming more active in their community, highlighting their local roots and asking their best customers to promote them.” The RBC survey also found that, when it comes to deciding which small businesses Canadians would support in their community, three-in-four (73 per cent) said word of mouth referrals was a factor, 68 per cent said it was the location of the business, while visibility in the community was the determining factor for half (51 per cent). These are the findings of an RBC/Ipsos Reid survey conducted from May 10 to 15, 2012. The survey was conducted online via Ipsos Reid’s national I-Say Consumer Panel to 1,010 Canadians. Weighting was then employed to balance demographics and ensure that the sample’s composition reflects that of the adult population according to Census data and to provide results intended to approximate the sample universe. A survey with an unweighted probability sample of this size and a 100 per cent response rate would have an estimated margin of error of ±3.1 percentage points, 19 times out of 20, of what the results would have been had the entire population of adults in Canada been polled. Royal Bank of Canada (RY on TSX and NYSE) and its subsidiaries operate under the master brand name RBC and are one of Canada’s largest banks, and among the largest banks in the world, based on market capitalization. One of North America’s leading diversified financial services companies, they provide personal and commercial banking, wealth management services, insurance, corporate and investment banking and investor services on a global basis.
