First steps to starting a small business What do entrepreneurs look like? By George Grignano and Will Townsend

he right attributes, a good idea, a plan to make it work and a way to finance your business is the formula to be followed to become successful. Here are some considerations: What do Entrepreneurs Look Like? Before you start your own business, be sure you have the personality traits that successful entrepreneurs display. The familiar characteristics of a successful entrepreneur include: OPTIMISM – entrepreneurs focus on solutions not problems PASSION – the quality that fuels their business and their personal lives PERSISTENCE – entrepreneurs keep going in times of adversity and stay focused on the end goal FLEXIBILITY – the ability to adapt to a changing environment EDUCATION – not formal education but a desire to learn and a drive to improve Focus – entrepreneurs focus on the big vision and recognize that short-term wins, although important, must add to long-term success.

GENERATING A BUSINESS IDEA If this sounds like you, the next step to setting up your own business is to identify a gap in the market that your product or service will exploit. This is easier said than done and can be the toughest part of setting up your own business. To do this, ask yourself some searching questions. What services or products are missing from the market? Could you invent a new product? What do you dislike about existing products and services? Could you improve them? Using your own life experiences to inspire your ideas can help you spot business opportunities. This will also make you passionate about your product as you will be able to see and sell the benefits. Remember passion is one of the key characteristics of a successful entrepreneur. TURNING YOUR IDEA INTO A STRATEGIC PLAN Studies show that a significant amount of new businesses with no business plan fail within the first two years. The adage is true: fail to plan and you plan to fail. Your business plan reflects how you see your business developing and maps out how you intend to drive your business forward. Your plan should set out your product, your intended market, and your key financial targets such as projected sales and profits. FINANCING YOUR PLAN Your plan should also show the seed capital you need to start up and your day-to-day working capital requirement. It is vital that your assumptions and estimates are accurate and reasonable. Do this and you will be able to foresee any problems and resolve them before they happen. A robust business plan allows you and potential investors to see how your business may perform in the future. HERE ARE SOME WAYS FOR YOU TO FINANCE YOUR BUSINESS:

Before deciding on your structure, you should have answers to these questions: ~ Is it important that you limit your personal liability? ~ Does your business need to meet any regulatory requirements that may have a bearing on your business structure? ~ How important is ease and set-up cost? One structure may be easier, quicker and cheaper than another. ~ Do you have an exit plan? If so, consider how the structure choices impact on your plan. The tax and accounting requirements you have to meet will depend on where you operate. Also depending on where you operate there may be government tax incentives so be sure to investigate this. Wherever you are and whatever your business, choosing how to structure your business is an important decision. It is worth seeking professional tax and accounting advice to help you make the right choice. Becoming a successful entrepreneur isnâ€™t easy. Most successful people will tell you there is no right or wrong way and that to be successful you must be willing to fail. If you have the right entrepreneurial characteristics, the right idea and structure your business the right way, youâ€™ll stand a good chance of succeeding.

~ Investigate any government support such as grants or loans. ~ Borrow money from a bank or other lender. ~ Ask for help from friends or family. ~ Look at equity finance, where you raise money from external investors in return for a share of your business. These investors will usually be venture capital firms or business angels. ~ Consider bootstrapping, a way of starting a business without external finance. This method is more strategic and focuses on creating cash flow, minimizing expenses and reinvesting profits. STRUCTURING YOUR BUSINESS How you structure your business will depend on what it is, how you finance it, and your long-term business goals. It will likely be a sole proprietor, partnership, franchise or corporation.

Are too many small business owners being unnecessarily distracted by legal disputes with their customers?

n Canada, three out of 10 small business owners dealt with the stress and disruption of handling a legal dispute during the past three years. In an attempt to resolve these disputes, both parties were required to hire lawyers, having to pay up to $400 an hour. The top three sources of legal conflict are:

› Collecting money owed by customers › Contract disputes with customers › Contract disputes with suppliers Considering there are millions of selfemployed and small-medium business owners, that’s a lot of unnecessary distraction and time away from running their business. Especially when a solution is available to both empower and protect

them in case of unforeseen legal disputes. In order to better understand small business owners’ experiences and attitudes towards legal disputes, DAS Canada engaged Ipsos to conduct an online panel survey of over 1,000 business owners from across Canada. Here are some of the key findings: › 73 per cent believe a legal dispute would have a tangible financial impact on their business, but only 27 per cent have set aside budget to protect their business from the potential costs involved with legal disputes › Only 12 per cent of business owners feel they have sufficient insurance coverage to cover any type of unforeseen legal expenses › 1 out of 10 small business owners know another owner who lost their business due to a legal dispute “Our research findings suggest that while business owners appreciate the significant impact a legal dispute could have on them, many unfortunately are either not being proactive or feel fully protected,” says Barbara Haynes, CEO of DAS Canada.“That’s where legal expense insurance can help. It fills the gap in their insurance portfolio and gives business owners peace of mind, so they can focus on what matters most – growing their business.” To learn more, visit www.das.ca/accesstojustice

Should you buy what foreign investors buy?

By Ben Myers

ou can’t read an article about Canadian housing these days without the author talking about foreign investors’ impact on the market.

Purchases by international residents are more of a problem in the single-family market in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), where there is a major shortage of supply, and prices are being driven up to new record highs on a daily basis. I have long contended that foreign buyers (estimated at five per cent to 10 per cent of new pre-construction condominium buyers) have been very positive for the new GTA highrise market, as they bridge the long gap between launch and occupancy in the market, and help bring forth relatively affordable rental supply. I recently took a course on Global Real Estate Trends at MIT’s Centre for Real Estate in Boston Massachusetts, as I’m always looking for new information, trends and expert analysis to apply to my examination and understanding of the Canadian and Toronto residential markets. In one of the lectures, my professor — who has a PhD in economics from Harvard — mentioned tips for understanding real estate markets. The two that stuck out were: markets tend to misprice assets in marginal locations (leading to overpricing and over-construction), and the best bet are core assets with high location premium. This is how many foreign investors look at the Toronto condominium market, and perhaps it’s a good way for you to look at the market, too. Forget cheaper marginal locations, buy core assets. Great locations remain great locations, and there is no guarantee that a good location will become a great location. This is why so many foreign investors stick with great locations, because they know they’ll retain their values, and these areas are often the quickest to recover when a market does experience a correction (for example, the New York and San Francisco downtown condo markets). For years I’ve had to listen to people tell me that too many condos are being built, young folks don’t really want to live in highrise buildings and that investors would “run for the hills” as soon as the market showed even the smallest sign of a price correction. None of these dire predictions have even come close to occurring. In fact, investors are more bullish on the Toronto condominium market than ever before, and seeing the huge demand for privately held condos

COM_3516.indd 24

being rented out, institutions and pension funds want to build new rental apartments in the GTA. Many foreign and domestic investors have made a fortune betting on the urbanization of Toronto and people’s desire to live in dense communities with ample amenities. Buying real estate in great locations is a very long-standing investment strategy for many wealthy individuals and corporations across the globe. So should you buy condominiums like foreign investors? I would say yes (if you can afford to of course). Downtown mixed-use highrise projects within walking distance of transit and employment will continue to be the most desirable places to live, and the premium you pay now for the privilege to own a suite in these buildings will seem like peanuts 15 years from now. If you’re on the fence about buying a condominium as an investment property, track down a realtor with experience in the pre-construction market and pick their brain. There is a lot to like about the Toronto housing market, and many outside the GTA and Canada can see that quite clearly. Happy condo hunting..

MAXIMIZE RETURN BY USING LEVERAGE

8171452_3516

Dino Nicosia, Broker of Record - Investpro Realty Ltd. www.investprorealty.com

What is Leverage? It is an effective investment strategy of using borrowed money to generate higher investment returns. When you actually stop to look at the everyday real estate transactions, a home purchase with only 10 - 25% down payment is actually using leverage! How to maximize Leverage: Using leverage in real estate investing is a great way to earn big yields on small investment. When you are building real estate wealth, leverage will help you grow quickly without involving too much risk (as long as you watch out for some pitfalls, which will be discussed later). High leveraged investing in real estate is especially powerful when inflation is in full swing. High leverage investors have numbers going for them because property values rise faster than the interest charges on their borrowed money. Example: For example, with a $100,000 investment (10% down payment) an investor can acquire a property worth as much as $1,000,000. The buyer is essentially using a relatively small percentage of his or her own money to make the purchase, and the majority of the money is being provided by a lender. Assuming the property appreciates at 5% per year, the borrowerâ€™s net worth from this purchase would grow by $50,000 in just 12 months. (5% x $1,000,000). It is the capital appreciation of the asset that brings wealth. In other words, the 100,000 investment produced a return of $50,000! A whopping 50% return.

Now let’s suppose the investor bought the same million dollar property with a 25% down payment ($250,000), and let’s assume the interest rate on the mortgage was at 4% per annum. The difference in the interest saved with this strategy would have been $6,000.00 ($150,000 x 4%), therefore the net return was $56,000.00 (appreciation of $50,000 + $6,000 interest saved). However with the higher down payment, the return on investment in this scenario would have scenario. Now you can clearly see how Leverage can bring higher returns! And that is not all! With a long term hold you will benefit from the mortgage reduction, positive cash flow and most importantly the

Hamilton

been only 23%. ($56,000 / $250,000). A huge difference in the rate of return than from the first

increase in property value. The Risk: To a lot of people, leverage means risk. The reason is that with leverage you may run the risk of unexpected negative cash flow that could risk the investment. To reduce that risk: • Assure the income generated from the property is able to support the operating expenses and all the carrying costs. • Be aware and always be ready for any unforeseen capital expenditures or sudden increase in interest rates, which may tremendously impact the property cash flow. Always have extra cash available when needed. Therefore when you buy using high leverage, remember to leave yourself a healthy cash reserve for the unexpected. Summary: As we’ve demonstrated using Leverage in Real Estate offers a number of advantages you simply cannot achieve in other investment vehicles. This explains in part why most wealthy individuals have either made or now hold the majority of their wealth in Real Estate. It is my sincere belief that when you compare the returns, risks and barriers to success, Real Estate should be a component of every successful investor’s portfolio, and using Leverage will maximize return. 8171394_3516

SkyViews CONSIDERATIONS WHEN SELLING YOUR APARTMENT BUILDING When it comes to selling your apartment building, there are many things to consider. The most important, however, is which brokerage firm you will choose to represent your interests and generate the right potential buyers. The following is a general guideline for choosing the right brokerage firm for you.

your property, the right brokerage will utilize what is called “target marketing”. Having access to multiple forms of communication, your brokerage should identify the best strategy to reach all buyers in the apartment building industry directly, resulting in you getting the most efficient marketing results.

1) Go with Experience Real Estate markets change from year to year, even from month to month. When dealing with a brokerage, you need to find the delicate balance of experience coupled with the up-to-date understanding of today’s current marketplace and trends. Experience alone will fail to provide you with strategies that will apply to current trends in the industry. On the other hand, a brokerage that lacks experience will not be able to accurately predict and prepare for upcoming trends.

6) Knowing the Buyers Your ideal brokerage is connected not only to you but also to a network of current buyers. When you are ready for your property to be listed, your brokerage should already have contacts with potential buyers and know who would be the right fit for your building.

Greater Toronto Area

2) Look Out for Number One Above all else, the brokerage you choose should look after your interests and work hard knowing that they have your trust, confidence and commitment. Your brokerage should ultimately be looking to serve your needs throughout the process of selling. 3) Take the Right Approach Some brokerages focus on the approach of “Bring Me an Offer”. While multiple offers can be beneficial, finding the right buyer with the right offer is the most crucial element in working with a brokerage. A good brokerage will bring the right people to the table to help you sell your building. 4) Know Your Value Many brokerages waste valuable time and resources hoping to pinpoint the market value for your building. The right brokerage, however, will have the knowledge and experience to provide an accurate opinion of value prior to even listing your building. Knowing what your building is worth will help you get the right return on your investment. 5) Exposure is Key Marketing your property is not just a matter of using one or two forms of communication to blanket the market in hopes of finding potential buyers. To properly market

7) Real Estate Networking Along with knowledge of current buyers, a brokerage should have already established relationships with other companies in the industry - appraisers, environmental and structural inspectors, financial institutions, etc. Having an established network of industry professionals can assist you in bringing your transaction to a quicker close. 8) Beyond the Offer Many real estate transactions fail at the most crucial stage... the due diligence process. Having a brokerage that engages in a thorough due diligence process ensures that your building’s information is verified for the buyer and your transaction closes smoothly and promptly. 9) Get What You Pay For Whether you are paying a low or high commission fee to the brokerage of your choice, you need to be confident in the level of service you received. The right brokerage will be dedicated to providing the ultimate service for the commission fees you pay. The Bottom Line When all is said and done, the most important element in dealing with a brokerage is achieving top dollar for your apartment building. Finding the right brokerage -one that fulfills the above criteria - ensures that you will walk away from your transaction with the confidence that you have received exceptional service, maximum exposure, hassle-free processes, and the financial results you had planned for. 8647857_3516

GTA REALTORS RELEASE commercial market figures

oronto Real Estate Board President Larry Cerqua announced that TREB Commercial Network Members reported a combined 876,196 square feet of leased industrial, commercial/retail and office space in July 2016. These properties were leased on a per square foot net basis with pricing disclosed. This result represented a large increase compared to the same month last year. The industrial market segment, which accounted for 84 per cent of space leased, was the driver of strong year-over-year growth.

of property type and location, can vary. This can have a compositional impact on average lease rates and/or selling prices.

The average industrial lease rate was $5.88 per square foot net â€“ up by 13 per cent year-over-year compared to the average of $5.20 in July 2015. In contrast, the commercial/ retail and office lease rates were down compared to last year. â€œThe Greater Toronto Area regional economy continues to outperform many other metropolitan areas across Canada. As such, it was encouraging to see healthy commercial leasing numbers for July. However, it is important to point out that growth in the Canadian economy more broadly remains below the long-term norm and commercial leasing and sales results could fluctuate as GTA businesses adjust to current economic conditions,â€? said Mr. Cerqua. The number of combined industrial, commercial/retail and office sales in July 2016, for transactions with pricing disclosed, were down compared to July 2015. The yearover-year change in average selling prices per square foot were mixed, with the average industrial selling price down substantially and the average commercial/retail and office prices up substantially. It is important to note, that commercial property leasing and sales activity can be quite volatile on a month-tomonth basis. As such, the types of transactions, in terms

SMALL BUSINESS CONFIDENCE REBOUNDS IN AUGUST

fter a slight dip in July, optimism among Canada’s small business owners bounced back in August with the national Business Barometer index rising by more than two points to reach 59.8.).

“There were notable gains in five provinces and dips in the five others,” said Ted Mallett, Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) chief economist.“The good news is that the declines in four of the five other provinces were very slight, about a point or less. The exception was Newfoundland & Labrador, which plunged by more than 10 points from July’s index. The overall picture remains one of guarded expectations, as this is the second-highest monthly index since May 2015, yet the index is still running five points shy of its 2010-2014 average.” On a scale between 0 and 100, an index above 50 means owners expecting their business’ performance to be stronger in the next year outnumber those expecting weaker performance. One normally sees an index level of between 65 and 70 when the economy is growing at its potential. Of those provinces gaining in optimism, PEI led the way at 70.5, followed by Quebec (64.9), Ontario (62.6), Nova Scotia (62.3) and Saskatchewan (54.9). Confidence levels dropped

slightly in British Columbia (65.6), New Brunswick (63.0), Manitoba (56.1) and Alberta (45.6), while Newfoundland & Labrador plummeted to 37.8. There was a similar counter-balancing act across sectors, with seven tracking upwards and six dipping downwards. The most optimistic businesses are those in professional services (70.0) and health and education services (64.0), followed closely by information, arts and recreation (63.5), finance, insurance and real estate (62.2), hospitality (61.3) and wholesale trade (61.2). The remaining sectors are showing weakness, notably retail (58.7), construction (56.2), manufacturing (55.7) and transportation (52.8). Optimism in the agricultural sector dropped substantially to 48.9. Short-term employment plans remain sub-par relative to previous years, while only 50 per cent of business owners expect to make capital purchases in the next few months, which is one of the lowest rates recorded since the recession. CFIB is Canada’s largest association of small- and medium-sized businesses with 109,000 members across every sector and region. August 2016 findings are based on 603 responses, collected from a stratified random sample of CFIB members, to a controlled-access web survey. Data reflect responses received through August 14. Findings are considered accurate to +\- 4.0 per cent 19 times in 20.

ONTARIO COULD BOOST MANUFACTURING SECTOR BY FOLLOWING MICHIGAN’S EXAMPLE: Fraser Institute

o revive Ontario’s battered manufacturing sector, policymakers could learn a lesson from Michigan where manufacturing employment and output have rebounded strongly following the recession eight years ago, according to a new study released by the Fraser Institute, an independent, non-partisan Canadian public policy think-tank.

“Michigan and Ontario have a lot in common, but while Michigan has revived its manufacturing sector since the recession, Ontario’s manufacturing sector continues to struggle,” says Ben Eisen, the Fraser Institute’s director of provincial prosperity studies and co-author of Ontario vs. Michigan: Policy Lessons from the Wolverine State. For much of the early part of this century, Michigan – home of the Detroit automakers – lagged behind both Ontario and the rest of the United States in terms of employment and economic growth. The Wolverine State was especially hard hit during the recession of 2008 when its economy contracted by almost three per cent and its population declined as residents left. Starting in 2011, Michigan’s state government introduced a suite of significant policy reforms designed to reverse the

COM_3516.indd 42

state’s decline. These reforms included: 1) replacing the complex and onerous Michigan Business Tax (MBT) with a simpler and flatter corporate income tax of six per cent, 2) implementing sharp budget cuts followed by a period of limited spending growth in order to balance its budget, and 3) the introduction of “right-to-work” legislation. The study shows that these reforms coincided with a remarkable economic turnaround, during which Michigan’s economy outperformed Ontario’s. One of the most important dimensions of Michigan’s economic turnaround has been the resurgence of its manufacturing sector. From 2011 to 2014, manufacturing employment in Michigan grew at an average annual rate of 6.1 per cent while it actually shrank at an average annual rate of 0.5 per cent in Ontario. Michigan has also done a better job at balancing its books than policymakers at Queen’s Park. While Ontario has experienced a dramatic and economically harmful run-up in public debt since 2011, Michigan has seen a slight decline in net public debt. “In the face of daunting challenges, Michigan took charge of its economic future by implementing an ambitious reform package that has coincided with job growth and a lower debt burden,” says study co-author Robert Murphy. “Although there are some factors beyond direct provincial control that influence economic performance, policy choices matter and Ontario should take note of Michigan’s reforms and its economic turnaround.”

POSITIVE ABSORPTION ON BOTH SIDES OF THE BORDER WHILE CANADIAN AND U.S. VACANCY RATES CONVERGE Avison Young releases its Mid-Year 2016 North America, U.K. and Germany Office Market Report

he North American, U.K. and German office sectors reported overall healthy leasing fundamentals at the midpoint of 2016. Despite positive absorption on both sides of the Canada-U.S. border, vacancy in Canada has risen, while the U.S. rate decreased year-overyear, bringing vacancy in the two countries into closer alignment than at any time since the Great Recession. The effects of depressed oil prices continue to be felt in certain U.S. and Canadian markets – a situation that may result in further volatility affecting local leasing metrics.

These are some of the key trends noted in Avison Young’s Mid-Year 2016 North America, U.K. and Germany Office Market Report, released recently. The report covers the office markets in 61 Canadian, U.S., Mexican, U.K. and German metropolitan regions: Calgary,

Edmonton, Halifax, Lethbridge, Montreal, Ottawa, Quebec City, Regina, Toronto, Vancouver, Waterloo Region, Winnipeg, Atlanta, Austin, Boston, Charleston, Charlotte, Chicago, Cleveland, Columbus, OH; Dallas, Denver, Detroit, Fairfield County, Fort Lauderdale, Greenville, Hartford, Houston, Indianapolis, Jacksonville, Las Vegas, Long Island, Los Angeles, Miami, Minneapolis, Nashville, New Jersey, New York, Oakland, Orange County, Orlando, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Pittsburgh, Raleigh-Durham, Reno, Sacramento, San Antonio, San Diego County, San Francisco, San Mateo, Tampa, Washington, DC; West Palm Beach, Mexico City, Coventry, London, U.K.; Duesseldorf, Frankfurt, Hamburg and Munich. “Our annual mid-year review of the office sector has once again expanded along with Avison Young, and now covers 61 markets (up from 50 in 2015), including additional markets in the U.S. and the U.K., as well as Mexico and Germany for the first time,” comments Mark E. Rose, Chair and CEO of Avison Young. Rose continues: “The divergence in economic performance between Canada and the U.S. that we reported in 2015 has continued during the intervening 12 months. As a result, office market fundamentals in the two countries have also posted differing results. While the U.S. shows continued signs of improvement, Canada has seen varied performance from its office markets. Rounding out North America, the Mexico City office market is performing well with a healthy vacancy rate – though vacancy is at its highest point since the end of 2013. Meanwhile, in Europe, the Brexit vote in June marked the start of a period of uncertainty for the U.K. economy and property market. Despite this uncertainty, and a reported low level of leasing activity, U.K. vacancy rates remain at historically low levels. And in Germany, the top office leasing markets recorded solid take-up levels on the back of a stable and growing economy with leasing activity above the long-term average across all markets.” “The U.S. office market demonstrated further strengthening during the last four quarters. November’s presidential election should have little impact on commercial real estate after a year of generally positive economic growth reports – increased consumer spending and real gains in employment Continued on Page 52

HAVE AN INVESTMENT? Here are three things you need to know

A Niagara Peninsula

new series of investment reforms are being phased in by Canadian investment regulators to improve transparency and disclosure. Called the Client Relationship Model — Phase 2 or CRM2, the reforms sound like a character out of the latest Star Wars, but the new information it brings will make you a smarter investor.

1. YOU’LL KNOW THE EXACT DOLLAR AMOUNTS YOU’RE PAYING TO YOUR INVESTMENT DEALER. Once a year, your investment dealer will send you a report summarizing compensation earned such as trailing commission(s), in actual dollars, as well other earnings such as deferred sales charges or referral fees. This report will also provide a summary of other account charges like annual administration and transaction fees.

Phased in over three years, the most important CRM2 requirements come into effect this summer. Silvio Stroescu, vice president of deposits and investments at Tangerine outlines three things you should know about the changes:

3. YOU MAY NOT SEE THIS INFORMATION RIGHT AWAY. It’s important to remember that although the new requirements described above come into effect July 15, 2016, most firms provide information on a calendar year basis. This means most investors will start getting their reports in early 2017.

2. YOU’LL GET A MORE COMPLETE PICTURE OF YOUR RETURN ON INVESTMENT. Annually, you’ll receive a report that provides your personal portfolio performance for the previous year and since opening your account. Previously, firms only had to disclose the rate of return for the fund overall. This additional information will tell you if you’re making money so you can ensure your investments are aligned with your long-term goals.

resulting in sub-five per cent unemployment levels. In addition, the Federal Reserve is unlikely to raise interest rates until late in the year. In Canada, softer economic results were reflected in the office market’s performance. Not surprisingly, this situation was mostly attributed to weak market fundamentals in Alberta, while Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver saw an uptick in demand. Nevertheless, we expect continued deal velocity for the remainder of the year in Canada, while vacancy could face upward pressure and rents could experience downward pressure due to new supply and moderate demand,” says Rose.

Argeropoulos adds: “Fundamentals will be tested as the bulk of new supply makes its way through the system in the next 18 to 24 months, holding back any significant rental rate growth. A tenants’ market will likely ensue in commodity development- and vacancy-laden markets.

According to the report, of the 61 office markets tracked by Avison Young in North America, the U.K. and Germany, market-wide vacancy rates decreased by varying degrees in 34 of the markets on an annualized basis. Given that all five countries reported positive net absorption over the 12-month period, the fact that only 56 per cent of markets saw decreasing vacancy demonstrates the importance of understanding individual markets’ demand drivers, construction pipelines and local economic conditions.

NOTABLE MID-YEAR 2016 CANADIAN OFFICE MARKET HIGHLIGHTS:

With the exception of Canada, the amount of space under construction ticked upward in most markets year-overyear, and preleasing levels are significant. Nonetheless, stakeholders will need to monitor vacancy levels on a marketspecific basis for signs of oversupply. CANADA With the national economy stuck in neutral amid less-thanstellar GDP and employment numbers, Canada’s stable office leasing fundamentals are increasingly coming under pressure. The 12 office markets surveyed posted varied results in most major metrics – vacancy, rent, absorption and development – for the 12 months ending June 30, 2016. In addition to the effects of a battered commodities sector, the acceleration of new supply is causing some markets undue stress, offsetting meaningful demand while pushing vacancy upward and rents downward. “I don’t think we expected anything dramatically different from what has transpired in Canada’s office markets during the past year and, particularly, in the first half of 2016,” states Bill Argeropoulos, principal and practice leader, Research (Canada) for Avison Young. “While Calgary’s challenges have been well-publicized, the city is no stranger to wild vacancy swings and prolonged recovery cycles. It’s not all doom and gloom for the Canadian office sector, though. Despite construction levels similar to those in Calgary, Toronto has surprised many observers with the resilience of its performance. This resilience is most visible in the downtown market – which some had argued was being over-built – due to the successful lease-up of new developments and dwindling vacant backfill space.”

COM_3516.indd 52

Looking forward, the millennials’ impact in years to come may be more profound than simply altering the way we plan our working environment. As more organizations densify their premises, putting more workers into less space, there may be a measurable effect resulting in long-term absorption levels below historical averages.”

• Despite uneven demand in local markets, Canada registered positive 12-month absorption of almost 1.9 million square feet (msf) between mid-year 2015 and mid-year 2016. Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver had strong showings, while the East widely outperformed the West. • Year-over-year, Canada’s office vacancy climbed 170 basis points (bps) to 12.1 per cent, rising in 11 of 12 markets – due to weak fundamentals, notably in Calgary and, to a lesser extent, in Edmonton. Calgary had the highest vacancy rate and biggest change (+820 bps), while Winnipeg (6.8 per cent) had the lowest. • Varying demand and construction levels highlighted the gap between downtown and suburban markets and from city to city. Weighed down by Calgary and Edmonton, the Western markets’ vacancy spiked 390 bps year-over-year to 14.2 per cent at mid-year 2016. Eastern markets experienced a modest 60-bps bump to 11 per cent. • Driven by urban intensification, downtown markets registered robust 12-month absorption of 1.4 msf. However, new supply of more than 3.7 msf in the same period lifted downtown vacancy to 10.6 per cent (+170 bps) nationally. While steady in the East (8.2 per cent), downtown vacancy rose considerably in the West (14.5 per cent, +470 bps). • Following more than 4.2 msf of office completions, suburban markets recorded modest year-over-year growth, driving vacancy up to 14.1 per cent (+200 bps) at mid-year 2016. Led by Calgary and Vancouver, the West outperformed the East in suburban office completions. • Canada added more than eight msf of new office supply from mid-year 2015 to mid-year 2016 with suburban markets slightly leading their downtown counterparts. More than half of the new inventory was added in Toronto and Calgary. • Developers are looking beyond near-term setbacks with more than 16 msf under construction (56 per cent preleased) and downtown projects doubling suburban in terms of size. Calgary and Toronto lead with notable development also

underway in Vancouver, Edmonton and Montreal. • Elevated vacancy has kept rents at bay and fragmented among asset classes. Average class A asking rents dipped in both downtown ($21.61 per square foot (psf), -$1.75 psf) and suburban markets ($17.69 psf, -$0.13 psf). U.S. In contrast to office market conditions in Canada, according to the report, the office sector in the U.S. experienced broadbased improvement. Vacancy in the 4.6-billion-square-foot (bsf) U.S. office market tracked by Avison Young tightened at mid-year 2016 when compared with the vacancy recorded a year earlier. For the office markets, common themes persisted during the 12-month period ending at mid-year 2016 as occupiers again focused on space efficiencies and a preference for locations served by public transit and walkable conveniences. “Absorption in the U.S. office sector was a notable indicator of the markets’ increasing health as the country posted 43 msf of net absorption between mid-year 2015 and midyear 2016,” notes Earl Webb, Avison Young’s president, U.S. Operations. “During the same period, class A rental rates in downtown markets spiked, moving almost eight per cent higher. With another year of sustained job growth, the overall U.S. unemployment rate fell below five per cent in 2016. We anticipate that favorable leasing fundamentals for the office sector will be ongoing through year-end 2016, and although select markets may experience some delay in office lease executions until after the election is decided, this situation should have minimal impact on market conditions into 2017.”

• Twelve-month net absorption in the U.S. was 43 msf for the period ending June 30, 2016, representing nearly a 16 per cent decline year-over-year and only 0.9 per cent of existing inventory. Suburban markets captured the bulk of net absorption achieved between midyear 2015 and mid-year 2016. • The U.S. had 90 msf of office space under construction at mid-year 2016, up from 82 msf one year earlier. Projects under construction are 50 per cent preleased, pointing to the demand for new buildings. • Three U.S. markets have significant volumes of construction activity. New York has the greatest amount by far (15.1 msf, 46 per cent preleased), followed by Washington, DC (11.1 msf, 31 per cent preleased) and Dallas (10.2 msf, 67 per cent preleased). These three markets alone accounted for 40.3 per cent of all U.S. development underway at mid-year 2016. • Houston delivered 7.9 msf between mid-year 2015 and mid-year 2016 and has another 3.8 msf under construction; however, 3.8 msf is a modest volume, as Houston reported an average of 11.7 msf under construction at mid-year 2013, 2014 and 2015.  Pricing again trended upward and average asking class A rental rates grew in both downtown and suburban markets with downtown rents increasing significantly by $3.69 psf, or 7.7 per cent, year-over-year to $51.80 psf. Notably, of the 39 downtown markets tracked, all but five reported increases in their rental rates.

“In 2015 we reported a return to more balanced leasing conditions with lower vacancy after several years of Webb continues: “Development is on the rise in answer to absorption and job growth, and the office market remains the demand for new buildings, while the growing presence strongest we’ve seen since the Great Recession,” adds Webb. of amenity-rich, co-working options may spur owners of “Companies have demonstrated a distinct preference for workolder properties to add social gathering places and tenantlive-play environments with a mature infrastructure of tenant recreation areas to compete for occupiers in this environment.” services to aid their recruiting efforts.

Rental Applications -

When can Landlords retain deposits? By Jayson Schwarz and Konstantine Chatzidimos

f you are reading this article you may currently own or may be considering acquiring a residential investment property. Ownership of such properties typically involves the vetting of prospective tenancy candidates via a rental application process followed by the negotiation of a formal lease. This article discusses a recent decision of the Ontario Court of Appeal which explored the meaning of the term ‘rent deposit’. The court’s decision may surprise you. Musilla v. Avcan Management Inc. In this case Sarah Musilla filled out a rental application form for a one-year tenancy and provided it to the landlord along with the required deposit cheque equivalent to one month’s rent. Six weeks before the tenancy was to have commenced, she backed out of the agreement and refused to sign the lease as contemplated in the rental application. She never took possession of the property. Ms. Musilla then sued to get her deposit back. This would seem like an easy one for the Landlord ,but not so.

At the Landlord and Tenant Board (the “Board”) and the Ontario Divisional Court Ms. Musilla relied on subsection 107(1) of the Residential Tenancies Act (“RTA”) which states that a landlord “…shall repay the amount received as a rent deposit in respect of a rental unit if vacant possession of the unit is not given to the prospective tenant.” Ms. Musilla argued that she was entitled to a refund because she had not taken possession of the unit – regardless of the reason why. The Board and Divisional Court disagreed and held that tenants cannot unilaterally terminate tenancies prior to taking possession and then claim the deposit back. It makes sense for the Landlord to keep the deposit ... Well, not for Ms. Musilla who appealed to the Ontario Court of Appeal. The Court considered whether the deposit provided by Ms. Musilla actually represented a “security deposit”. The Court reasoned that the rental application signed by Ms. Musilla was not a lease; this was confirmed by the wording on the very application form which contemplated that an accepted

prospective tenant would execute a formal lease prior to moving in. Moreover, the RTA states that payment of last month’s rent is the only circumstance where a landlord can retain a “security deposit”. As such, the deposit provided by Ms. Musilla with her rental application did not constitute a “security deposit” as there was no tenancy established at that point given no lease was signed. The result in this case was that Avcan Management Inc. was not authorized under the RTA to keep Ms. Musilla’s money for her failure to enter into the lease. Conclusion Rental application forms such as the one considered in this case are commonly used by landlords as a way of vetting potential tenants; deposit cheques are typically provided with such applications. As you can appreciate, the Court’s recent decision in this matter has potential to create problems visà-vis this established practice. Deposits are required so as to establish that prospective tenants are serious in applying to rent a unit as well as to incentivize landlords into holding the desired units. It will be interesting to see how this decision affects matters going forward. If you are a prospective residential landlord, it may not be a bad idea to have your rental application form reviewed by a lawyer experienced in this field as it seems that the Court’s decision applies only to situations where it is unclear whether a deposit may be returned if a lease is not entered into. 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 web site (www.schwarzlaw.ca), email (kchatz@schwarzlaw.ca), or phone us at 888-609-8888 and give us your questions, concerns, critiques and quandaries.

SHOULD I INVEST IN A NEW CONDO THIS YEAR?

By Andrew la Fleur

ou have some money saved up and it’s not doing any good in the bank. Investing in a condo has always been something you’ve thought about, and now you are finally ready to take action. Good! Now the question that keeps coming up in your head is, “Should I invest in a condo this year?” The question behind the question is,“Will I be better off if I wait?”Waiting for the stars to align or trying to“time the market” is a fools’ game. Instead, you should first decide you are going to invest in a new condo, then make a plan, then go out and do it. You absolutely should invest in a new condo this year but there are a few things you need to know: Everything that you’ve heard is wrong. The first thing you need to know is that everything you’ve heard about the condo market is wrong. It seems everyone has an opinion on the real estate market and whether or not there is a condo bubble or something in Toronto. We hear the so-called experts chiming in just about every week from New York or who-knows-where telling us that our market is 25 or 50 or 2,000 per cent overvalued and that it’s all going to crash. Every party you go to, every family gathering, the topic of real estate seems to come up and everyone has their own opinion and reason why you shouldn’t invest in a new condo. The problem with all these opinions is the source: they are all people who have never invested in the condo market. They have no skin in the game! Asking someone who has never invested in the condo market if you should invest is like asking a vegetarian if you should eat a hamburger! You know what the answer is going to be.

So, put aside all the opinions and advice that you’ve come across and do your own research. Talk to people who are investing in the market right now and figure out what makes sense to you, then act! Good opportunities are always available. Toronto is a massive city, and we are the largest condo market in North America. Whether the market is going up, down, sideways, it doesn’t matter because there are great investment opportunities in every market. So many people believe the lie that there are only good opportunities when the market is red hot, or you should only buy if the market is severely depressed. Seasoned condo investors know this is not how the market works and they always evaluate every opportunity on it’s own individual merits. Have a system and follow it. In order to be a successful condo investor, you need to have a system and a plan in place that you follow. If you are a seasoned condo investor and you have been doing this for a long time already, you likely have your systems in place and you keep following them because they have made you a lot of money. If you don’t have a system or a plan, or you don’t know where to start, don’t try to re-invent the wheel!

“CPP INCREASE NOT SO “MODEST” ACCORDING TO SMALL BUSINESS

he proposed Canada Pension Plan (CPP) increase may be pitched as “modest”, but small business owners are saying it’s anything but, according to the latest data from the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB).

A full 70 per cent of small business owners in a recent CFIB survey disagree with the notion put forward by finance ministers that the proposed hike is modest, with a limited impact on business. “Try growing a business and creating jobs in a tough economy, with the constant threat of carbon taxes, minimum wage hikes and other new costs, then add seven straight years of CPP increases,” said Dan Kelly, CFIB president.“A full 80 per cent of small business owners say that CPP hikes will make it much more difficult for them to cope with other tax increases and increased costs.” “We commend the British Columbia government for joining Quebec in consulting with the public prior to finalizing any plan to raise CPP premiums. More than 90 per cent of business owners in BC support the province’s decision to

consult more than 90 per cent of business owners in other provinces, outside Quebec, want their governments to do the same,” added Kelly.“After all, the 2016 federal budget promised to ’launch consultations to give Canadians an opportunity to share their views on enhancing the Canada Pension Plan.’” While an agreement in principle to increase CPP was reached in June, CFIB is actively lobbying provincial and federal politicians to ensure that public consultation and economic analysis take place before any deal is ratified. CFIB is Canada’s largest association of small- and medium-sized businesses with 109,000 members across every sector and region.

I would describe the proposed increases to CPP contributions for employers and employees as modest and it will have limited impact on my business
