This morning I toured a two bedroom condominium unit with an identical layout to a unit we just purchased. The condo is vacant, and needs new flooring in most of the unit (maybe 600 sq ft of flooring) and could use a paint job and some updated lighting.
It has all the characteristics of an investment I love:
The unit I saw is offered for sale at $105,000, which is less than other main floor units have been selling for this year. An identical unit in the complex we bought in is for sale right now for ~$118,000 – it is in better shape, but that’s only a new paint job and some flooring away 
If you invest in this condo for $105,000 with 20% down payment – $21,000 – you will need a mortgage for $84,000. If you get a 5 year fixed rate mortgage for 5.89% (that’s the rate I got in July, and in fact rates are a bit lower now) and amortize the payments over 40 years, your monthly mortgage payment is about $452 a month according to the mortgage calculator I’m using. Condo fees are currently $210.00 a month, and taxes are a shade under $100 a month. Insurance should be under $20 a month.
$452 (mortgage) + $210 (condo fees) + $100 (tax) + $20 (insurance) = $782.00
If you rent your unit out for $825 + hydro a month, you have a great condo paying for itself each month. All you have to do is collect twelve rent cheques each January.

A lot of people come to me talking about the ‘gross rental multiplier’ on a single family home, or about how important it is to get maximum cash flow, or how they won’t look at properties under a certain capitalization rate.
Poor planning is the downfall of many would be investors. Maybe they don’t know what to look for in an investment property. Sometimes they don’t have their criteria nailed down. More often than not, they have a basic misunderstanding of wealth building.
One of the first things you need to do before you build your real estate portfolio is determine whether or not you should be following the Growth model for investing, or the Income model for investing.
Which model you choose will depend on a number of factors, mainly the size of the gap between how much equity you have, and how much equity you’ll need in retirement.
As we discussed yesterday, the income you receive in retirement is directly tied to how much equity you have. Your income is based on the return you make on your equity. The more equity, the more income.
In the Growth model, you are trying to accumulate as many assets as you can, in order to benefit from the appreciation and principle debt reduction over a large portfolio. In the Income model you are primarily investing your equity in order to receive cash flow to live on (or use for other business ventures).
What this means is, unless you already have a few million in equity, you should focus on Growth, rather than Income.
If you only have $100,000 in equity, it would be detrimental to look for an investment that will maximize your cash flow. What I would do is leverage that 100K into a portfolio of real estate in the Kitchener Waterloo area that is positioned to appreciate over the next several years (and your individual situation will determine the holding time).
In real estate, you benefit from owning more real estate, not from owning more of one piece of real estate. Leverage, used in combination with due diligence and a solid educational base, will allow you to accelerate the growth of your equity considerably.
Call me now @ 519 570 4447 for a free no obligation consultation about how your equity can be growing faster.

It used to be that you could work for a company for 45 years, and retire with
a pension to meet your needs, and a gold watch to match.
Nowadays, there is no such thing as job security, and and any pension or government funded retirement plans are likely not enough to keep you living the lifestyle you’ve become accustomed to.
During the typical working career, you go to your job and are paid for the work you do, or the time you put in.
If you go to work and do your job, you get paid. You are living off of the income you produce.
When you retire, you no longer go to work everyday to produce income – you now need to live off the income (or cashflow) your assets produce.
If you want to have a retirement income of $100,000 a year, and your investments generated a 10% rate of return, you would need to have $1,000,000 in assets. The more assets you own, the greater your potential retirement income.
Do you have a plan that will leave you with seven figures in assets by the time you want to stop working ? Call me at 519 570 4447 for a free consultation, and I’ll work with you to develop a plan that will allow you to reach your dreams.
