Commercial Real Estate & Business Opportunities

Volume 13 Issue 03

Canadian commercial real estate market performs despite turbulent international backdrop Morguard Corporation (TSX: MRC) (“Morguard”) released its 2013 Canadian Economic Outlook and Market Fundamentals Research Report at www.morguard.com and predicts a repeat of 2012,the second most active real estate investment year on record, with favourable returns for investors in the Canadian commercial real estate market.

“We anticipate strong interest in Canadian real estate from a broad cross section of investors in 2013, with the REIT sector dominating transactions,” said Keith Reading, director of Research at Morguard.“Canadian property values will remain at the peak, given access to low cost capital and attractive yields.”

Annual investment capital flow into the Canadian real estate sector is predicted to be close to CDN$30 Billion in 2013. This is a slight dip from the previous cyclical high of CDN$32.1 Billion in 2007, but above the long term average of CDN$19.3 Billion.

2013 Real Estate Investment Trends to Watch in Canada Solid fundamentals will continue to characterize Canada’s real estate market despite a turbulent backdrop of uncertainty in international economies and financial markets.

Property values will continue to range at the cycle peak supported by robust investment demand, low interest rates, and historically low long-term bond yields.

Income performance strength will remain a fixture over the near term as rental markets in all sectors post strong occupancy characteristics, positive demand trends, and modest increases in rental rates.

Robust purchasing activity in the investment sector will continue to feature a significant REIT sector component, however pension funds and private capital will remain active.

Conservative construction volume in the office and industrial sectors over 2013 will ensure rental market conditions improve however, as 2013 ends risk levels will rise with the increase in office development in Vancouver, Toronto and Calgary.

The arrival of U.S. retailer Target will continue to impact the retail sector, as the discounting sector adjusts to new competition. The broader retail sector will also govern itself in light of technological and overall shopping behavior changes.

The multi-family residential real estate sector will be the market’s most stable sector, with occupancy ranging at or above the 98.0 per cent mark nationally in 2013, given healthy demand supported by demographic trends.

Real Estate Investment Overview In 2012, the Canadian real estate investment market registered strong results across all sectors and jurisdictions, in the face of continued uncertainty outside of the nation’s borders and a slowing trend in the domestic economy.

This year, the Canadian real estate market will be forced to continue to contend with the ongoing uncertainty and sluggish results in Europe. At the same time, it will benefit from increased stability in the U.S. economy, assuming the negative impacts of the “fiscal cliff” are negligible at worst.

Canada’s economy will likely generate moderately healthy expansion, due to a less than firm global growth trend. Consequently, business cycle dependent sectors, like office and industrial, will experience somewhat muted demand. On a national scale however, commercial real estate fundamentals are expected to continue to stabilize. Consequently, investors will continue to allocate funds to Canada’s real estate sector, in an effort to attain satisfactory yields in a market that will continue to be characterized by stability and moderate growth.

Owners of Canadian commercial real estate benefited from positive investment market fundamentals over 2012, a trend that is expected to continue in 2013. Volatility in the broader investment market will continue to place real estate in a favoured position for investors. Property values, on the rise for much of the past few years, will test their current peaks. Rising occupancy levels and stable and positive income performance have also benefited investors. Demand will continue to outpace the supply of assets for sale, which will produce strong real estate capital flow in 2013. This will translate into added pressure on what has already been peak pricing for the cycle. Transaction volume will continue to range above the long-term average in 2013, as investors chase yield in a low interest rate environment.

The strength of return performances over 2012, which will continue into 2013, will drive robust bidding activity on available asset offerings. In short, Canada’s owners of commercial real estate will continue to reap the rewards of strong fundamentals in the coming year, which will draw increased investment from both existing and new entries to the market.

The Canadian office sector is poised for continued strength and stability in 2013, having racked up another year of positive results in 2012. Returns settled in the midteens on an annualized basis in 2012. Next year, slightly less robust results are expected, though they will remain attractive nonetheless.

Occupancy levels will remain strong in 2013, in particular for the nation’s leading Central Business Districts. At the same time, landlords will continue to achieve rental growth, despite more modest space demand trends. Toward the end of 2013, the first of a number of new developments in market’s like Vancouver and Toronto will be delivered to market. This will put pressure on the market, however, the expectation is for business activity to pick up and offset much of the associated leasing risk. Much of the next 12 months will see a continuation of many of the positive trends observed over 2012, which will act as a driver of healthy investor interest and performance for parties with assets in the sector.

Industrial

Canada’s ever-changing and healthy retail fundamentals will be on display once again in 2013 and beyond. Occupancy levels will remain strong, in particular for the country’s best regional centres and nodes. Strong interest being shown by U.S. retailers in our nation will translate into positive demand trends. A broadly positive 2013 economic outlook will furnish consumers with the wherewithal to continue to spend, thereby driving the ongoing health of the sector. Record high debt levels will curtail spending activity, but not to a point where it will materially impact the market. The broadly positive rental market outlook will boost investment performance, which will continue to elevate the sector to the top of the investment food chain. As such, pricing will remain at the peak, with strong demand from all purchaser groups. The Canadian retail sector will exhibit continued resilience in 2013, in keeping with recent performances.

Multi-Family Residential The multi-family residential rental sector will see largely stable and healthy performances in the coming year, as was the case through all of 2012. Steady growth in property values over the past few years may ease in 2013, however values will continue to range at the peak. The strength of the sector will be fuelled by strong demand drivers and constrained supply characteristics. Negligible new construction will also act as a booster of generally tight conditions in the rental market, as occupancy hovers close to the 98.0 per cent mark nationally. Rents will continue to rise, capped

Moderately positive trends are forecast for Canada’s industrial sector in 2013, with the expectation of outperformance in Western Canada. Economic expansion of 2.0 per cent or less will produce a slow recovery pace in leasing markets. Resource related companies will continue to drive above-average results in Western Canada, while a less robust improvement in Eastern markets is likely.

National occupancy will see little change, ranging between 150 and 200 bps above the year end market of 6.3 per cent. Consequently, rents will see only slight increases in most jurisdictions, resting below 2008 levels. Positive demand characteristics will prevail for much for the next year, a less than robust recovery in the U.S. will dampen export related activity.

Development will remain below the long term average, though up from the previous few years. Speculative activity will surge in markets like Calgary and Edmonton, with most other markets registering mostly buildto-suit projects. The investment sector will feature continued strength, which will include attractive returns, healthy demand, and limited availability of assets for sale. Pricing is expected to remain at the cycle peak, with the possibility of modest increases. In short, the outlook for 2013 is one of gradual improvement, with most indicators pointing in a positive direction.

to some degree by markets with rental control legislation. Increased availability of condominium units for rent will have only modest impact on the sector, as the sale market slowly stabilizes in the second half of 2013.

Investment demand will remain healthy, given broadly attractive return expectations. Healthy immigration volume and an aging population will ensure stable rental demand. Indeed, the sector’s trademark stability and moderate growth will continue to characterize the market in 2013.

Small business confidence gets stronger in February

A

fter a lacklustre November and December, Canadian

Small business owners in Alberta (71.0) remain the most optimistic in Canada, although Saskatchewan (69.8) and Newfoundland and Labrador (67.0) are not far behind. Ontario (65.3), Nova Scotia (65.3), British Columbia (64.9), Quebec (64.6), Manitoba (63.4), and New Brunswick (62.2) are all slightly below the national average. Prince Edward Island (54.1) saw a noticeable decline in business confidence.

entrepreneurs are feeling more optimistic in early 2013, according to the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB). The Business Barometer index continued January’s upward trend by rising another half a point to 66.2 in February.

“For the first time in a while, small business owners are reporting index numbers that indicate the economy is growing nearer its potential,” said Ted Mallett, CFIB’s chief economist and vice-president.“The January and February results suggest Canadians are seeing modest, but widespread economic growth.”

“Despite talk of a ‘bitumen bubble’, small business confidence is strong in Alberta, and getting stronger across most of Canada,” added Mallett.

“That view is buttressed by positive expectations for full-time job growth.”

Full-time hiring plans are far better than seasonal norms, with 26 per cent of businesses expecting to hire additional staff in the next few months, and only six per cent planning to cut back.

Measured on a scale of 0 and 100, an index level above 50 means owners expecting their businesses’ performance to be stronger in the next year outnumber those expecting weaker performance. According to past results, index levels normally range between 65 and 70 when the economy is growing at its potential. The February 2013 findings are based on 974 responses, collected from a stratified random sample of CFIB members, to a controlled-access web survey. Findings are statistically accurate to +/- 3.2 per cent 19 times in 20.

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.

It’s all about the NOI

By Dino Nicosia, Broker Of Record, Investpro Realty and Appraisal Ltd. Brokerage The real estate market is divided into many submarkets, such as commercial, industrial, vacant land and residential.

The sub market for residential can be separated into two sectors; the owner occupied and tenant occupied properties.

Hamilton

The value of the owner occupied property is mostly determined by supply and demand. This demand is significantly influenced by disposable income, interest rates, consumer confidence and political and economical climate. Although the tenant occupied property is influenced by the same factors, in addition there is a more important influence, with this type of investment property because you are not just buying the bricks and mortar, you are also buying the income that is being generated from the rent.

Therefore the value of an investment property is largely determined by the income it produces. You can relate this to running a business where the goal is to end up with money in your pocket at the end of the month. After collecting your rent and paying your bills, the amount of money left over before making the mortgage payments, is called the Net Operating Income (NOI).

The NOI will be instrumental in establishing the investment property’s value. Therefore if you want to increase the value of your tenant occupied property, you must improve your N.O.I. The NOI is directly tied into the Cap Rate. The Cap Rate essentially represents the percentage return on an all cash purchase (not taking mortgage debt into account). Simply refer to the Cap Rate as being the return on the investment, and note that the Cap Rate will be determined by the current market sales in the area of the subject property.

For example, let’s assume you purchased a 20 unit apartment building which generates an annual NOI of $100,000.00, and the purchase price of this property was $1,000,000.00. Therefore based on this purchase price, you are receiving a 10% return on the investment. Or in other words, the Cap Rate on this purchase was 10%.

There are three ways to increase the NOI: 1. Find ways to increase the rents without increasing vacancy 2. Reduce property expenses without neglecting your property.

3. Don’t rent equipment… own them.

To be continued next issue!

Square One Shopping Centre commences $84 million redevelopment project

R

enovations are underway at Square One Shopping Centre, as $84 million is invested into a major renovation of the common areas, food court and shopper amenities. The design vision aims to infuse exciting architecture and create a sense of place throughout.

A palette of distinct finishes, colours and materials will be carried into the elements of the newly expanded food court and grand centre court.

The expanded new food court will open August 2013, offering guests an exciting new culinary experience and Western Toronto’s first premium food court destination.

Square One Redevelopment (CNW Group/Square One Shopping Centre)

With added seating, signature table wear, and unique food vendors, Food Central is guaranteed to exceed expectations.

Featuring Canada’s first existing food court converted to reusable table wear, glasses and cutlery, food court operations will significantly reduce waste and increase waste diversion rates.

Family businesses continue to thrive, but where’s the talent?

With growth potential on the radar - innovation and succession planning are a must

S

ixty per cent of Canadian family businesses reported sales growth in the

last year and in the next five

However, a family business’s structure can offer significant benefits particularly their agility, continuity and their long-term perspective mindset. Duguid says,“Family businesses need to do more to highlight their competitive advantages; their commitment and loyalty to their people. People are attracted to companies that have strong values and where they know their efforts will be recognized - both of which are characteristics of family businesses.”

Who’s taking over - Family ties or step outside?

years, 87 per cent plan to grow steadily. However, securing talent to drive this growth is a challenge, according to the

Just over half of Canadian family businesses (51 per cent), compared to 41 per cent globally, plan to pass on the management of the business to the next generation, while an additional 14 per cent of Canadian family businesses plan to pass on ownership, but employ non-family members to oversee the business. A further 16 per cent don’t know what they will do at this stage.

Canadian supplement of PwC’s Global Family Business Survey.

For the next five years, attracting a skilled workforce is the top concern for 62 per cent of Canadian family businesses, while the economy is the primary issue (66 per cent) for global respondents. Sharon Duguid, Director, Centre for Entrepreneurs and Family Enterprise, PwC, says “The difference lies in the relative stability of the Canadian economy, aging workforce and the tight talent pool Canada is facing.”

Duguid continues,“Everyone is competing for the same talent. Typically, family businesses are not able to compete with multinational players when it comes to compensation. On the development end, their conservative growth strategies are not appealing for younger talent who want to climb the ranks quickly.”

“Few families in Canada are having the conversation and asking their children whether they’re interested in taking over or not, whereas in Europe and Asia, families start that dialogue with their children early on,” says Duguid.“It’s critical to be transparent and set the guidelines on how the business will be transferred from one generation to the next because this can build the family firm - or break it.”

Duguid adds,“Clear communication is essential throughout the entire business, especially when dealing with conflict. It’s important that the right procedures are in place to resolve issues as efficiently as possible.� More than 80 per cent of those surveyed have procedures in place to deal with family conflict.

Small business welcomes fixes to unfair credit card practices Federal regulator sides with CFIB on unfair credit card practices The FCAC has clarified rules around the application of the Code of Conduct for the Credit and Debit Card Industry in Canada (the Code) that address concerns raised by CFIB. These changes include the practice by some rogue players in the credit card industry to circumvent the Code by splitting contracts to trap small merchants into exorbitant fees.

“We commend the FCAC and other industry players for siding with small merchants by clarifying acceptable business practices in the Canadian payments industry,” said CFIB president and CEO Dan Kelly.“The Code is doing what it was intended to do - protect consumers and merchants.”

FCAC provided the credit card industry with guidance on the following issues raised by CFIB: Inappropriate sales and business practices: no altering of signed contracts without merchant consent; no quoting of rates that will not be honoured; give merchants copies of contracts.

Disclosure to merchants in multiple provider agreements: Contracts for debit/credit card processing services, especially for those businesses with multiple provider agreements, must be clear and easy to understand, and include certain information specified

by FCAC.

Financial Consumer Agency of

Multiple contract cancellation penalties, costs or fees: The Code presently allows merchants to cancel their credit/debit contracts without penalty if their fees go up. However, some Independent Sales Organizations were trapping merchants by applying large exit penalties to separate contracts for leased equipment. It has been clarified that the right to cancel a credit/debit processing contract without penalty also applies to any related contracts.

CFIB spearheaded the creation of the Code in 2010, and has continued to work closely with the federal government and agencies like FCAC to protect small businesses from unfair treatment by the payments industry. In the days ahead, CFIB hopes for more good news, including a long-awaited ruling from the Competition Tribunal on further measures to help small merchants.

Ontario Business Confidence Index shows businesses plan to expand, but are unsure about future of Ontario economy Index comes as business leaders, think tank, and pollster table agenda for new Ontario premier on how to strengthen the Ontario economy

T

he Ontario Business Confidence Index shows that most Ontario businesses are confident in their own outlook (72 per cent) and are planning to expand over the next five years (60 per cent).

However, the same businesses are unsure about the overall direction of Ontario’s economy – 41 per cent express confidence.

The index is a survey of 2,386 businesses and was conducted as part of Emerging Stronger 2013, a business-driven economic agenda for Ontario released today by the Ontario Chamber of Commerce and its network of local chambers, along with their research partner, the Mowat Centre at the University of Toronto.

Emerging Stronger 2013 is a transformational agenda aimed at accelerating Ontario’s economic growth. It identifies Ontario’s challenges and advantages, and sets out practical and detailed recommendations for government and business.

Some of its key recommendations include: enabling better access to capital for startups and small businesses through crowd funding; encouraging businesses to employ more Aboriginal people and people with disabilities; opening up more government services to private sector and not-for-profit delivery; utilizing Ontario’s large immigrant population

to grow exports; and, allowing more employers to participate in training.

The agenda comes days after Kathleen Wynne was named Ontario’s next premier and is intended to provide a non-partisan platform that should appeal to all three parties.

“The Ontario Chamber of Commerce has criss-crossed this province engaging and hearing from local chambers and their 60,000 members,” said Allan O’Dette, CEO of the Ontario Chamber of Commerce.“We are confident that Ontario has all the assets to prosper, but we need to act collectively, strategically, and with purpose.”

“This Index is one of the largest surveys ever conducted of business opinion in Ontario,” according to Dave Scholz, vice president of Leger Marketing, the pollster.“Business sentiment is very much ‘glass half-full’ in the province right now.”

Among the survey findings are: 1.

Ontario is falling behind on productivity: only 10 per cent of respondents believe their sector is a global leader in productivity.

2.

Some sectors are much more confident than others: the financial services sector is the most confident in their own outlook (74 per cent say their business will expand in the next 5 years).

3.

Businesses are struggling to diversify their exports: 45 per cent of Ontario businesses view China as the most critical market in the next five to 10 years. Yet only 1.4 per cent of Ontario’s exports are bound for China.

4.

The debt and deficit remain big concerns: 26 per cent of businesses believe Ontario is going in the right direction when it comes to restoring fiscal balance.

5.

Businesses are most likely to respond, that the economy is heading in the right direction (48 per cent), while Eastern Ontario businesses are the least likely (36 per cent).

Calling Canada’s young entrepreneurs to compete for $100,000 Grand Prize Business owners aged 18 to 35 have until April 2 to enter the BDC Young Entrepreneur Award

T

he Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC) is accepting applications for the 2013 edition of the BDC

Young Entrepreneur Award!

To win a $100,000 Grand Prize, entrepreneurs aged 18 to 35 are invited to present a turning point their company has reached and the solution they propose to take their business to the next level. A second prize, consisting of $25,000 in consulting services, will be awarded to the BDC Young Entrepreneur Award runnerup. The deadline for submitting applications is April 2, 2013, at noon, Eastern Daylight Time.

“Showcasing and supporting Canada’s best business talent is an important aspect of our mandate,” says Michel Bergeron, senior vice president, Marketing and Public Affairs at BDC. “The BDC Young Entrepreneur Award is the premier venue to shine a spotlight on some of the challenges young business owners face today.”

The contest is open to all Canadian entrepreneurs aged 18 to 35 as of December 31, 2012. Entrants must be Canadian citizens or permanent residents responsible for the daily management of a Canada-based business for at least two years as of December 31, 2012, and must hold at least 20 per cent of the company’s capital stock.

Applicants are asked to create a short video describing a turning point their business has reached and the solution that will help them achieve future growth. This video – which

need not be professionally produced – should clearly explain the turning point solution, have good image and sound quality and be memorable. All entries have to describe a project that has yet to be implemented.

“All companies reach a turning point,” says Bergeron.“Some may choose to tap into new markets by implementing an internet strategy; others may decide to acquire new equipment that will increase their overall profitability.

Recognizing challenges early on and having a plan to tackle individual turning points is important for business and should rank high on an entrepreneur’s agenda.”

“The value of participation goes beyond the monetary value of the award,” adds Bergeron.“The entire experience brings finalists tremendous exposure, public support, and access to people and resources that will ultimately help their companies grow. As impressive as the monetary awards may be, a better reason to compete is to get noticed by potential customers and investors.”

Applications must be filled out and submitted online at http://www.bdcyoungentrepreneuraward.ca/.

More information about 2013 BDC Young Entrepreneur Award eligibility criteria, the application process, the rules and regulations and the format of the video submissions is available on the contest’s microsite.

For updates about the 2013 BDC Young Entrepreneur Award, follow BDC on Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn. About the BDC Young Entrepreneur Award contest: Created by the Business Development Bank of Canada in 1988, the BDC Young Entrepreneur Award contest pays tribute to remarkable Canadian entrepreneurs between 18 and 35 years of age. Eleven finalists – one for each province and one for the combined territories – are short-listed to compete for a $100,000 Grand Prize. The winners are selected by public vote and a second prize of $25,000 in consulting services is awarded to the contest runner-up. The Financial Post and La Presse are the media partners of the 2013 BDC Young Entrepreneur Award. www. bdc.ca/yea About BDC: Canada’s business development bank, BDC puts entrepreneurs first.

The “Street Smart Real Estate Appraiser” – Associations My last article was about “Are you attached” as it could relate to property. Owning a property for several years and sometimes several generations will make it difficult to do an unbiased valuation. The owner of real estate often develops an emotional attachment to the land and/or buildings that form a property. Often a Seller can’t cut themself loose of a property to make a deal when they know they should, only to holdout for a value that is not attainable or defendable. Owners are sometimes clouded by emotion; they need to try to disconnect themselves with their specific property history. Retaining a third party to bring rational and logical valuation approaches is critical. Can anyone else see the premium in the market value sought by the Seller?

Hopefully, other professionals in the real estate industry will have the guts to tell the individuals that they are “Attached.”

What I have found in the 20 plus years in the real estate industry is 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?

In my opinion, some of these people include: the Property Owners, Property Managers, Developers, Brokers, Builders, Marketing Experts, Bankers, Accountants, Lawyers, Business Owners, Engineers, Architects, Consultants ....etc. These people offer an important contribution to the valuation of a property because they are industry specific professionals. Depending on the property being appraised, it’s best to talk to these people, understand what they think, know and see, and ultimately get their “trade secrets”. The mission become a “STREET SMART APPRAISER”!!

I once again turned to an industry expert; typically I talk with individuals that service the property industry to facilitate day to day business. One of the real estate valuation techniques I’ll give you is “Associations”!

Marc L. Cote emphasized this appraisal “technique”.

Marc is the president of hush Media Inc., and the co-founder and Publisher of Rental Housing Business Magazine; the most widely read publication for apartment owners, managers and association executives. He has been in the publishing and marketing industry for over 25 years. Marc consults with some of the largest property owners and managers in Canada, primarily those involved in the multi residential market.

“Everyone, especially those considered a small to mid level owner/manager, should be involved and a member of an association representing their property type. Since my field is predominately multi residential I suggest, Canadian Federation of Apartment Associations, CFAA. Originally, CFAA was formed as an association representing local association at the Federal level. CFAA now represent individual landlords along with local associations. To find out more and how you can get involved search their site at http://www.cfaa-fcapi.org”

Niagara Peninsula

There are numerous reasons why you should look to join a related real estate association. Associations ensure they’re completely up to date with all necessary data related to government compliance, laws and by-laws, tax information, forms required for both internal office and external public, new government programs, etc.

Associations maintain access to lawyers both, volunteer and paid ensuring accurate legal information when required. They produce resource literature in the form of newsletters or magazines maintaining communication, direction and overall keeping up to date information for their members.

“To fully appreciate an association is to understand that what an individual owner/manager goes through in a year, a week or lifetime, an association deals with the same issues on a daily and weekly basis.”

I

Once complete, the total gross leasable area of the shopping centre will exceed 116,000 square metres (1.25 million square feet).

The additional space will allow the centre to introduce over 60 highly-desirable retailers into the Durham regional market.

Construction will begin in summer 2013 and is slated for completion in spring 2016.

“Ivanhoé Cambridge’s substantial investment in Oshawa Centre will enhance the centre’s fashion offering, solidify its competitive positioning and enable it to meet retailer demand,” said David Baffa, Vice President, Retail Development, Central Region, Ivanhoé Cambridge.

Mortgages

Making a Great Spread on the Equity in Your Home Do you have a home or a rental property that has Equity in it? If so, you might consider borrowing from the Bank and then lend those funds out in the form of a private mortgage loan. By doing so, you are taking advantage of the difference between the lower borrowing rate of the Banks and the higher interest rate you can achieve as a private mortgage lender. Depending on several factors, this spread can range between 5% and 16%. This investment vehicle is generally underutilized.

I have conservative private lending clients that are borrowing at today’s lower interest rates. Pro Funds is currently able to secure mortgage interest rates from 2.90% on residential first mortgage loans for a 5-year term and up to 35-year amortization. We have assisted these clients in finding good secure mortgage investments yielding returns in the 5-16% range. Another benefit of this approach is the ability to pay down your Bank mortgage much quicker.

Banks are offering up to 80% of the value of your home in a refinance. These mortgages typically have good repayment privileges. They can enable you to increase your monthly payments by 20% and make a further annual principal payment of 20% of the loan amount as well. One caveat here is that most institutions will limit the amount of cash extracted to $200,000.

Let’s talk about risks. Some people view private mortgage lending as a high risk investment (and this is the reason behind the much higher returns). In general, there is certainly greater risk in private mortgage lending compared to say a GIC that will today pay between 1% and 2.5%. The primary risk here is that if the project you are lending on completely fails, and you are unable to remedy the situation and recover your investment, you could jeopardize your original equity. Yes, there are mortgage offerings that can be excessively risky. For example, dealing with mortgage lending opportunities that involve tax arrears, mortgage arrears, and/or debt overload need to be either carefully assessed (what are the actual reasons for the problems) or simply dismissed. The amount of risk is a function of who you are doing business with, to whom you are lending to and performing the proper due diligence (using qualified and experienced advisors as required). Mortgage lending is really not too complex, and many of those involved become repetitive clients.

Mortgage placements can vary largely. Private lenders may either a) lend to traditional homeowners that may not qualify with the banks based on having either poor credit or lack of “verifiable income�, or b) lend to like-minded people that are real estate investors or developers.

Proper review, helpful advice and due diligence has been key to the overall success of all parties involved. The result Please see the example below: is a solid book of business and deal flow.

We review due diligence material which may include mortgage application, credit bureau report, property description, property financial statements and rent roll (if applicable), local market description, appraisal or valuation, existing mortgage information, realty tax information, reasons for the loan and how the funds will be used. We prepare an overview of the project and funding requirement. If the mortgage request and real estate have merit, we approach prospective lenders with the opportunity. If interest is expressed, and subject to lender qualifications and confidentiality agreements, we will provide the due diligence package for lender review.

Lenders will also be provided with the interest rate and lender fee payable (by borrower to lender) on the deal, which will be deemed fair for both parties. If you as the potential Lender agree to proceed, our firm will prepare

Part 2: Private Lender invests $200,000.00 in mortgages at an average of 14% interest for a one year term. Monthly interest payments received would be $2,333 per month.

The net spread to the Lender is $1,397 per month (or $16,764 over the one year term).

If the above investment strategy is of interest, we would be pleased to review various options with you.

Strong performance in Canadian real estate continues

C

anadian commercial real estate delivered another strong performance in 2012, as measured by the REALpac / IPD Canada Annual Property Index.

The annual total return of 14.1 per cent continued Canada’s strong performance. Real estate outperformed public equities (7.5 per cent), bonds (3.0 per cent) and inflation (0.8 per cent). (Equities are based on the MSCI Canada Index. Bonds are based on the JP Morgan sevent to 10 Year Government Bond Index. Inflation is based on data from Statistics Canada).

Looking at the 13 year history of the REALpac/ IPD Canada Annual Property Index, 2012 was the fifth highest annual total return ever.

Total annual returns for the three years, five years, and ten years ending December, 2012 remain robust at 13.6 per cent, 8.7 per cent and 11.7 per cent respectively.

16G COM

Examining the four major property sectors, residential registered the only increase in total return in 2012 (16.2 per cent, up from 11.9 per cent in 2011). Total returns for office properties, which spiked between 2010 and 2011, pulled back only slightly in 2012 to 15.9 per cent while industrial and retail produced lower total returns in 2012 (11.8 per cent and 13.5 per cent respectively) compared to 2011.

Overall, the six largest commercial property markets generated healthy total returns in 2012. Of the six largest markets, Edmonton was the only metro that saw accelerating growth in value. Calgary, Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver and Ottawa all produced healthy but lower returns in 2012 when compared to 2011.

“Many business owners like the idea of phasing out the penny,” added Kelly.“Since after-tax totals will be rounded both up and down, it’s important that consumers are properly informed.”
