Tips on how to choose a group insurance plan for your small business A well-designed group benefits plan can offer significant advantages for your employees and your business. It can help you attract and retain top talent, promote a healthy work environment and differentiate your business from your competitors.

“A group insurance plan can be a flexible and affordable way to enhance your total compensation package,” explains John Carinci, VP and head, operations and client experience, RBC Insurance. “Many Canadian employees identify their benefits plan as a key reason for remaining with their current employer. In fact, given the choice, 59 per cent of employees would prefer group benefits over a 10 per cent 12

salary increase.” Before choosing a group insurance plan, consider the following three tips: • Define your objectives – To identify whether you need a basic plan or a comprehensive plan, first identify your primary purpose for implementing a benefits package.

The plan you choose may be different depending on whether your goal is to attract new talent, retain

COMMERCIAL INVESTOR | Commercial Real Estate & Business Opportunities

existing employees, or simply offer basic coverage.

• Provide coverage your employees will use – Talk to your employees about their needs prior to selecting your group plan. By doing the research up front, you’ll avoid paying for features your employees won’t use, while also aligning the plan to your stated objectives.

• Choose a plan that is a good fit for you and your employees – A good benefits package provides a benchmark level of coverage that meets the needs of your employees, at a cost that you are comfortable with. Prepare a list of questions for your advisor to ensure you are delivering the best solution possible. CI For more information, visit rbcinsurance. com/groupbenefits March 27–April 24, 2021

Owners have the right to review the reserve fund study by asking the corporation for a copy. When you purchase a unit, a copy of the most recent reserve fund study is included with the status certificate.

Reserve funds are

Your condo’s insurance policy

BY JACQUELINE MONETA JD AND JAYSON SCHWARZ LLM

All condominiums are required to have a reserve fund under the Condominium Act. A reserve fund is a special account, separate from the condominium’s operating fund, and it is used to pay for major repairs and replacements to the condominium’s common elements. A portion of every common expense fee is deposited into the reserve fund monthly. The reserve fund is intended to act like an insurance policy, to ensure that the corporation has enough money to cover future repairs.

WHEN CAN YOU DIP INTO THE RESERVE FUND? The reserve fund can only be used to pay for major renovations or repairs; this includes replacement and non-routine repairs of common elements and assets of the condominium. If condos didn’t have reserve funds, or their reserve funds are depleted, they would need to 16

raise large amounts of money from the owners when major repairs are required.

This lack of funds most frequently results in a special assessment.

THE RESERVE FUND STUDY A reserve fund study determines how much money needs to be in the fund to ensure the repairs will be covered

COMMERCIAL INVESTOR | Commercial Real Estate & Business Opportunities

in the future. The study is usually prepared by an engineer and includes both a physical assessment of the condominium and a financial plan during the first year of the condominium corporation, then every three years.

THE STUDY WILL COVER: • All parts of the building that need repair or replacement (ex. windows, balconies) • Estimates when the repairs and/or replacements are expected to occur • Estimates of the cost of each expenditure in each year • A recommended reserve fund contribution amount • Recommended increases in reserve fund contributions for the following three fiscal years.

It is important to note that the reserve fund study is based on assumptions and educated guesses.

These estimates may fall short in the following circumstances: March 27–April 24, 2021

HAMILTON

• Poor maintenance decisions can result in your condominium having to replace components earlier than expected • Emergency repairs or replacements • Postponed expenditures

THE OWNERS’ PERSPECTIVE All previous and current owners have contributed to the reserve fund. That’s because every owner who received the benefits of common elements, including the lobby, hallways and elevator, shares the responsibility of the replacement costs. Long term, as an owner, your unit will fetch a higher asking price if your property is wellmaintained and the reserve fund is healthy.

Owners have the right to review the reserve fund study by asking the corporation for a copy. When you purchase a unit, a copy of the most recent reserve fund study is included

with the status certificate.

As an owner, it’s important to be mindful that the reserve fund balance will fluctuate from year to year. In some years, the fund’s balance is high. After planned expenditures, the fund’s balance may be depleted. It’s

important to look at the situation holistically, ask about recent repairs and plans for upcoming projects at board meetings. Much like insurance, a healthy reserve fund is an invaluable tool in the condominium’s arsenal. CI

What you need to know at tax time

Rental income tax obligations If you earn income from one or more properties that you own alone or with someone else, the money collected from these activities is taxable and you are required to report it.

RENTAL INCOME INCLUDES INCOME FROM RENTING: • houses • apartments • rooms • space in an office building • other real or movable property

REPORTING RENTAL INCOME: RENTAL OR BUSINESS Income earned from renting out property is considered by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) to be either rental income or business income, depending on the

20

COMMERCIAL INVESTOR | Commercial Real Estate & Business Opportunities

March 27–April 24, 2021

duration of the rental and the types of services included in the rental agreement. In most cases, rental income means you are being paid to rent space and provide basic services only. These include heat, light, parking, and laundry facilities. If you provide additional services to tenants, such as cleaning, security, and meals, you may be carrying on a business. The more services you provide, the greater the chance that your rental operation is a business.

CURRENT EXPENSES VERSUS CAPITAL EXPENSES Keep track of all your expenses related to your rental property as these may be deductible, but there are different kinds of expenses. Current or operating expenses that are short term and associated with maintaining a property can be claimed entirely for the year you made them in. Capital expenses can be amortized, or spread out, over several years and generally provide a longer-lasting benefit or improve the value of a property.

KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A CURRENT AND A CAPITAL EXPENSE: Criteria: Does the expense provide a lasting benefit?

Capital expense: Generally, there is a lasting benefit or advantage.

For example, the cost of putting vinyl siding on the exterior walls of a wooden house is a capital expense.

Current expense: The expense usually recurs after a short period.

For example, the cost of painting the

March 27–April 24, 2021

exterior of a wooden house is a current expense.

Criteria: Does the expense maintain or improve the property?

Capital expense: The cost of a repair that improves a property beyond its original condition is probably a capital expense. If you replace wooden steps with concrete steps, the cost is a capital expense.

Current expense: An expense that simply restores a property to its original condition is usually a current expense.

For example, the cost of repairing wooden steps is a current expense.

Criteria: Is the expense for a part of the property or for a separate asset?

Capital expense: The cost of replacing a separate asset within a property is a capital expense. For example, buying a refrigerator to use in your rental operation is a capital expense because a refrigerator is a separate asset and is not a part of the building.

Current expense: Repairing a property by replacing one of its parts is usually a current expense. For instance, electrical wiring is part of a building.

Therefore, an amount you spend to rewire is usually a current expense, as long as the rewiring does not improve the property beyond its original condition.

Criteria: Is the expense for repairs to the used property that you acquired made to put it in a suitable condition for use?

Capital expense: The cost of repairing used property you acquired to put in a suitable condition for use

in your business is considered a capital expense even though in other circumstances it would be treated as a current operating expense.

Current expense: Where the repairs were for ordinary maintenance of a property you already had in your business, the expense is usually current.

Criteria: Is the expense for repairs made to an asset in order to sell it?

Capital expense: The cost of repairs made in anticipation of selling a property, or as a condition of sale, is regarded as a capital expense.

Current expense: Where the repairs would have been made anyway, but a sale was negotiated during the course of the repairs or after their completion, the expense is considered current.

OTHER CONSIDERATIONS WHEN EARNING RENTAL INCOME In addition to claiming your income and deducting allowable expenses, other considerations could impact your tax situation. For example, if you own a newly constructed or substantially renovated residential rental property, you may be eligible for a rebate. If the expenses you incur to earn rental income are more than your gross rental income, you can deduct your rental loss against your other sources of income. However, you cannot deduct any amortization/depreciation on your rental property if you are already in a rental loss position. You also cannot deduct a rental loss if you rent to a family member below fair market value.

Your Price for ‘Upside’ Finding Value in the Grey Areas

By Cliff Ford, Skyview Realty

With the ever-increasing demand for multi-unit residential properties amongst investors, a trend has been emerging over the last number of years.

Many properties, and certainly buildings with 30+ units, are seeing multiple offers as part of an open bid submission process.

If you aren’t familiar with the bid submission process, it is the act of marketing a property for sale without providing a price. Typically, the Seller will provide all due diligence documents in advance of the offer deadline to allow buyers to determine what they are willing to offer on any given property. Sellers love this process as it can generally lead to multiple offers and can create a bidding war that drives up their end price. Buyers dislike this process, however, because they prefer to have some guidance on pricing going into the offer stage. As a brokerage, we are caught in the middle of wanting to deliver great results for our Seller and satisfying our buyer clients’ demands for more investment properties.

What we have been noticing with these open bid properties is that ‘upside’ becomes a very common discussion point. The value a buyer places on the upside in a building can often become the factor that makes their offer stand out among the rest, at least as it relates to purchase price.

When considering what the upside is on a property, its more than just rental rate upside, especially considering the lower vacancy rates seen in the Ontario market nowadays. Beyond the upside of what you could rent turned-over units for, investors are looking at upside in the utility consumptions by implementing programs to replace lighting with LED bulbs, installing Low-flow toilets in every unit, and investing in higher efficiency heating equipment. Upside can also be found in converting excess space in a building to either additional units, commercial space, or amenities that could draw in greater tenant rents.

Sometimes even the location of the property itself

28

can have a form of upside for a particular buyer, in that they may own a building nearby and could create valued upside in the sharing of mutual expenses between each property.

Whatever the upside factors may be on any particular property, when going into a purchase process, understanding what YOUR value is on the upside will give you a leg up when bidding against other buyers. It appears that, at least for the time being, the sale price of the property is no longer determined just by market comparable sales. It is now the grey areas of upside that are driving the prices higher. Of course if every seller had their way, the Buyer would be paying for 100% of the upside in their purchase price but realistic sellers also know that they need to leave something on the table for a buyer. As a buyer, you need to know what the upside is and how much you are willing to pay for that upside. It is a business decision that only you can determine based on your operations.

To be fair when discussing bid submission processes, it should be stated that price may not always be the only factor when a seller chooses one offer to work with over another, but it is likely the most significant factor. As an example, buyers are becoming more and more organized in their purchasing processes in order to streamline their conditional periods and closing dates, as this can also help to achieve a sign back from a Seller when multiple offers are on the table. Especially if all offering prices are neck and neck, the terms of the offer becomes an important factor for a seller.

You may not be a fan of the open bid submission process, but it appears as if this new trend will be sticking around. By doing proper due diligence upfront, good research on the property’s market, and determining the price you want to pay for the upside, you can still achieve great acquisitions in this tight and highly sought after investment class.

3. Check in on your credit report.

Even if you are not considering a real estate purchase until well into the future, a self-check on your credit history once or twice a year is a great idea. Why? It isn’t uncommon for people to discover errors that can subsequently lower a credit score and impact your qualification potential. Common reporting errors can include: • Mistakes in your personal information—wrong mailing address incorrect date of birth, etc.

• Errors in credit card and loan accounts, such as payments marked late that you actually made on time.

• Missed or delinquent payments still listed on your account after the maximum years they should appear.

• Personal accounts listed that you never opened.

4. Pay first – dispute later.

Fraudulent credit card charges can be alarming. Your first instinct may be to dispute the charge and launch an investigation.

It’s important to note however, that refusing to pay the charge during an investigation can still result in late payments and interest charges that can damage your credit.

Unless the charge is excessive and potentially criminal, a more credit-friendly approach is to pay first and dispute later. Credit card companies are very good at rectifying errors, but the process can take some time. You do not want any erroneous charges accumulating interest and creating delinquencies while you wait.

5. Don’t close unused credit cards.

You’ve paid down a credit card and want to close it out. Not so fast! Keeping unused cards open can lower your credit utilization ratio. This means on paper you’re doing a good job of keeping your debt-load in check.

Here’s how it works. If you owe 10k on one credit card with a 12k limit, your ratio is high. If you owe that same 10k on the same card, but you’ve got an additional 20k in unused credit on two other cards, your overall debt ratio is much lower, and deemed more favourable from a lender’s perspective.

6. Diversify your credit.

Many people use only one credit card and pay it religiously. As prudent as this might seem, many of these same people are surprised to find their credit rating isn’t as high as they thought.

Why? Maintaining a mixed portfolio of credit types—credit cards, line of credit, car loans, even utility & cable bills, etc.— may improve your credit score.

When it comes to assessing loan suitability, lenders like to see an array of credit products. If your credit report is too “thin”, (limited to one or minimal credit products), lenders may see that as a risk given limited overall history.

7. Know your limit and spend within it.

Many people negatively impact their credit rating by unknowingly over-utilizing their available credit. As a general rule of thumb, keep your spending within 70-75% of your maximum credit allowance, including interest.

When you max out a credit card or keep a line of credit close to its limit, lenders start getting concerned about your credit utilization. Not to mention the fact that you risk going over your limit once interest charges commence. Some tips to keep balances from getting too high are: • Pay more than the monthly minimum to decrease balances.

• Request a card limit increase, without increasing your spending. Additional Takeaway Call 1.844.228.7503 for more!

8. Be cautious when co-signing.

It is important to exercise caution when agreeing to become a guarantor/co-signor on a mortgage or other debt instrument. You cannot control another person’s spending or payment habits. Delinquencies resulting from a co-applicant can have a detrimental effect on your credit score. Additional Takeaway Call 1.844.228.7503 for more!

9. Increase the length of your credit history.

Finally, we come to one of the key components of any good credit score—your history. The longer you can maintain a credit account, the better it is for your score. Due diligence over time is exactly the sort of trait lenders are looking for when reviewing your report. The longer you own any particular credit card or keep a line of credit open, the better it is for your score. The key here is keeping those credit vehicles clean.

Additional Takeaway Call 1.844.228.7503 for more!

Follow all the steps above and you’re well on your way to a solid credit score and getting approved for a mortgage.

Great work! Now, start making those dreams a reality.
