CFIB’S Golden Scissors Award finalists Highlights: Simple change means 50,000 small businesses required to file taxes less often

T

o wrap up Red Tape Awareness Week, the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) announced on January 23rd that the Hon. Kerry-Lynne Findlay, Minister of National Revenue, won the 2015 Golden Scissors Award, for a simple change to tax policy that will allow small businesses to file their payroll taxes less often.

Under the old policy, many mid-sized businesses had to remit payroll taxes to CRA weekly. Some of those businesses will now only have to remit those taxes twice a month, and some smaller businesses that paid twice a month will now only have to remit monthly. While the amount they have to remit won’t change, some 50,000 small and medium businesses will save a whole lot of time on paperwork.

“This is an excellent example of government walking the walk when it comes to red tape reduction,” said CFIB’s executive vice president Laura Jones.“This may not seem like a big deal, but when you cut a business owner’s paperwork, it means more time for the owner and their employees to focus on growing the business and serving their customers, provided that CRA clearly and appropriately communicates the changes to businesses.

“Under Prime Minister Harper’s leadership, our Government remains committed to reducing red tape for businesses across the country,” added Minister Findlay.

“In Economic Action Plan 2014, our Government revised the remittance thresholds for employer source deductions.

That change means that over 50,000 small and mediumsized employers will see the maximum number of required payments on account of source deductions cut in half, eliminating more than 800,000 payments. That’s 50,000 businesses who now have less reporting, and therefore less red tape. That’s 50,000 entrepreneurs who now have

more time to focus on growing their business, employing Canadians, and supporting our economy.”

The winner, chosen from among dozens of nominations from across the country, will receive a trophy, framed certificate, and recognition on the CFIB website, Facebook page and member communications.

Last year’s Golden Scissors winner was Stewart Young, mayor of the city of Langford, B.C., for introducing a permanent business license and doing away with annual renewals. This change cost the city some revenues, but the mayor and council agreed it was the right thing to do to free up entrepreneurs to create jobs in the city.

In addition to the winner, two Honourable Mentions were also announced: In the category of Stopping Stupid, Nova Scotia Finance Minister Diana Whalen. Minister Whalen did away with regulations, inherited from a previous government, that would have required scrap metal dealers to collect and store sellers’ personal information and verify ‘proof of ownership’ for each transaction.

In the category of Producing Measurable Results, Naheed Nenshi, Mayor of Calgary. The mayor led the Cut Red Tape initiative, reaching out to small business owners to better understand the challenges businesses were facing when dealing with the city. More than 200 suggestions were submitted, and several were implemented, saving a combined $2.8M for the city and small businesses.

See the full list of Finalists online at www.cfib-fcei.ca and read more about the week-long effort by CFIB to bring attention and meaningful action to reduce red tape on small businesses. Follow #RTAW on Twitter.

CFIB is Canada’s largest association of small- and mediumsized businesses with 109,000 members across every sector and region.

INVESTMENT PROPERTY ESSENTIALS: TOP 5 MOST RENTABLE

by Andrew la Fleur

Y

our investment property is only useful to you if you can find tenants to rent it out and put cash back in your pocket. Shopping for a condo from the perspective of a landlord is different than shopping as a homebuyer. Yes, you have to like it. But more importantly, renters have to like it. Think about those elements that will attract the most potential tenants, and use that as your guide to a successful investment property purchase.

When shopping for your investment property, here are the five most rentable qualities to look for: 1. Convenient location: Topping the list of investment property essentials, renters today are most concerned with having a location that is convenient to work, shopping and transit. Invest in a condo near these three and you will have a winner.

2. Affordable price: Following location, the thing that renters look at most closely is the cost of the rent. The lower the price, the more potential tenants you will attract, which is better for business. Keep in mind that most

renters aren’t looking for spare rooms and fancy finishes.

For your investment property, buy small and buy cheap.

3. Extensive amenities: While some renters prefer a smaller, quieter condo building with little or no amenities, generally speaking, most renters would choose one with plenty of amenities over one without. The most important amenity by far is a good gym.

4. Flexible floor plan: Floor plans that allow for different uses of the space will once again open up your unit to more potential renters, for example a den that could double as a second bedroom.

5. Window coverings: This seems like a small thing, but it’s something that is very important to tenants. Invest in a good set of window coverings and your unit will be more attractive to tenants and will rent out faster.

FORGOT YOUR WALLET? NO PROBLEM. THE TIDE WILL TURN FOR IN-STORE MOBILE PAYMENTS

2

015 will mark the tipping point for near-field communication (NFC)enabled smartphone in-store payments, according to Deloitte’s 2015 Canadian Technology, Media & Telecommunications (TMT) Predictions.

In 2015, about five percent of the 600 million NFC-equipped smartphones worldwide will be used to make an in-store NFC payment at least once a month, more than a 1,000 percent increase from 2014, making its way to Canada at the end of 2015.

“Canadian smartphones are already being used to check balances, transfer funds and transact online, which indicates that consumers are comfortable with using their phones to handle money. But almost no one used their phones for contactless in-store payments at the register,” said Duncan Stewart, Director of TMT Research at Deloitte in Canada.“2015 will be the first year in which all of the requirements for mainstream mobile payments – satisfying financial institutions, merchants, consumers and device vendors – have been sufficiently addressed.”

Now in its 14th year, Deloitte’s TMT Predictions provide an outlook on the 10 most important trends for Canada in the technology, media and telecommunications industry over the next 12 to 18 months.

Also in 2015, the smartphone upgrade market will see sustained, but slower growth. 1.4 billion smartphones will sell worldwide in 2015, up 12 percent from 2014’s 1.2 billion units. More than a billion smartphone sales worldwide will be upgrades, countering ideas that the device has matured and cannot be improved.

“Although the smartphone refresh cycle is lengthening, existing smartphone owners are continuing to buy new phones. About 5 million smartphone upgrades in Canada will occur in 2015,” said Robert Nardi, Partner and National

TMT Leader for Deloitte in Canada.“PC growth has been on a decline as consumers and enterprises started to buy new ones at longer intervals, but it would be premature to expect the same to occur for smartphones. Pride, pixel count, durability and storage needs will continue to drive growth for smartphone refreshes.”

CONSUMERS DON’T ALWAYS LEAD THE WAY: THE PENDULUM SWINGS BACK TO ENTERPRISE ADOPTION Historically, new technologies, like PCs and cellular phones, were adopted by the enterprise and then by the mass consumer market years later. In the last decade, it’s been the opposite. Tablets and smartphones with large screens were adopted widely by consumers first, but the pendulum will start to swing back. In 2014, consumer uptake of wearable technology like smart glasses was modest, signaling a shift away from the consumerization of IT. Enterprise adoption of wearables, 3D printing, drones and the Internet of Things (IoT) will have a bigger impact generating more economic value in goods and addressing business needs than the consumer market for those technologies.

10 TMT PREDICTIONS MOST RELEVANT IN CANADA (ALL DOLLAR AMOUNTS ARE USD): 1. In-store mobile payments will (finally) gain momentum – The end of 2015 will mark the tipping point for the use of mobile phones for NFC-enabled in-store payments in Canada. It will be the first year in which the multiple prerequisites for mainstream adoption – satisfying financial institutions, merchants, consumers and device vendors – have been sufficiently addressed. In 2015, about five percent of the base of 600 million NFC equipped smartphones worldwide will be used to make an in-store NFC payment at least once a month, compared to less than half a percent of about 450 million NFC phones in mid2014. In-store mobile payments in the Canadian market are likely to be slower than the US, depending on when various payment services are introduced, but 56 percent of Canadians are not interested in paying with a smartphone*.

It remains to be seen if they will change their minds.

2. For the first time, the smartphone upgrade market will exceed one billion. 1.4 billion smartphones will sell worldwide in 2015, but over a billion of them will be upgrades – new phones for those who already have one.

The refresh cycle may be lengthening, but screen size, speed, storage, software and design will drive growth for smartphone refreshes. In Canada, more than 5 million smartphone sold will likely be upgrades 3. Print is not dead, at least for print books – Sales from print books will be at least four times the sales of eBooks globally. eBooks have not substituted print books in the same way that sales of CDs, print newspapers and magazines have declined. Young people (age 18-34) are as attached to print books as their elders and read at about the same rate than older demographics, and they are willing to pay for them.

4. The ‘generation that won’t spend’ is spending on TMT – Millennials who are 18-34 years old in Canada will spend an average of $750 for content, both traditional and digital. With 9 million millennials, that’s nearly $7 billion in sales for the Canadian media industry. What are millennials spending on? Pay TV, music, computer games, books, live sports, streaming video, and even print newspapers. In an Ipsos survey, commissioned by Deloitte, more Canadians aged 18-32 increased or spent the same amount of money this year than last on books (84 percent), live music (83 percent) or live sports (92 percent) relative to GenX-ers (78 percent, 76 percent, 82 percent respectively) or Boomers (78 percent, 73 percent, 76 percent respectively).

5. Click and collect booms: a boon for the consumer, a challenge for retailers. The number of click and collect locations in Europe will reach half a million in 2015, a 20 percent increase on the previous year. Click and collect provides shoppers with the option to pick up items purchased online from locations such as a special section in a store, or a secure locker located in a transit station or a shopping mall. It is prevalent in Europe, but just starting to be trialed in Canada, even though the concept was pioneered by a Canadian company back in the Dotcom era.

6. The connectivity chasm deepens as gigabit Internet adoption rockets – Globally, the number of homes with broadband Internet will grow by about two percent to 715 million, and average broadband speeds in most countries will increase by 20 percent. But variations in broadband speed in homes will be significant. The top decile of homes in some markets will have five times the average speed of those in the bottom decile. Factors unique to each home from the thickness of walls, age of a router, time of day and

15

browsing habits of neighbours will determine the actual speeds attained at each broadband-connected device.

Hundreds of thousands of Canadians get broadband speeds of more than 50 Mbps, but even more have realized ‘broadband’ speeds of less than 5 Mbps.

7. The end of the consumerization of IT? In 2015, the pendulum of technology adoption will begin to swing back to the enterprise market, reversing a decade long trend that went the other way - when mass adoption of technologies like large screen smartphones and tablets started with consumer adoption first.

8. The Internet of things really is things, not people – In 2015, over 60 percent of the one billion global wireless IoT devices will be bought, paid for and used by enterprises - despite media focus on consumers controlling their thermostats, lights, and appliances (ranging from washing machines to tea kettles). The IoT-specific hardware will be worth $10 billion, but the services enabled by the devices will be worth about $70 billion.

9. 3D printing is a revolution: Just not the revolution you think - In 2015 nearly 220,000 3D printers will be sold worldwide, with a dollar value of $1.6 billion, but it is unlikely that there will be a “factory in every home.” Deloitte estimates about 80 percent of the value of all 3D printers will be for companies instead of consumers, meaning the real revolution will be in the enterprise market.

10. Short form video: a future, but not the future, of television - The total time spent watching online short-form video clips and programming of less than 20 minutes in length will represent less than three percent of all video seen in the year, both in Canada and globally. However, viewers of short form video may be more engaged and less passive than viewers of traditional long form video, meaning that ads for short form video may generate higher sales with a moreengaged audience.

Deloitte’s TMT Predictions are based on worldwide research supported by in-depth interviews with clients, industry analysts, global leaders and more than 8,000 Deloitte member firm TMT practitioners.

Over the last five years, Deloitte was more than 79 percent accurate with its TMT predictions.

businessbarometer

SMALL BIZ OPTIMISM UP BUT UNCERTAIN IN JANUARY

S

mall business confidence seemed to bounce back in January, but national gains were based on increases in only three of 10 provinces, according to the Canadian Federation of Independent Businesses (CFIB). January’s Business Barometer reading rose about a point and a half to 63.5, after bottoming out in December.

“The positive national news needs to be tempered by the fact that small business confidence in seven provinces continued to decline,”said Ted Mallett, CFIB’s chief economist and vice-president.“We may be starting to see the positive impact of lower oil prices, particularly in Ontario, but it’s clear that small business owners in places like Alberta are more than a little concerned about what the future holds.”

and nation-leading British Columbia (71.7) declined slightly.

A clear interruption in capital investment plans was a deeply concerning development in January. There were signs of improved segment spending on vehicles and production equipment, but only 55 per cent of business owners were planning to make any capital expenditures in the next 12 months - a post-recession low. Concerns about customer demand and working capital also spiked.

On the positive side, an overwhelming majority (four to one) of small business owners continued to say that their businesses were in good shape, and spring hiring plans showed the expected seasonal bump, though it was not quite as large as what we had seen the past two Januarys.

Measured on a scale of 0 to 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.

“This is a story that is continuing to play itself out,”added Mallett.“It’s obviously a story about oil prices, but it’s much too soon to tell just how deeply the negative impacts will be in and around the oil sector, or how much of that negativity will be offset by oil price-related improvements in other parts of the country. The next few months will be very interesting.”

Optimism gains in Prince Edward Island (69.8), Ontario (67.8) and Nova Scotia (64.9) accounted for the national surge. The Alberta index, meanwhile, plunged more than 11 points to 54.8. Newfoundland and Labrador (60.3), Manitoba (57.1) and Quebec (56.3) also suffered moderate losses of between two and four points, while small business confidence in Saskatchewan (55.1), New Brunswick (64.1)

January 2015 findings are based on 1,094 responses, collected from a stratified random sample of CFIB members, to a controlled-access web survey. Data reflect responses received through January 19. Findings are considered accurate to +/- 3.0 per cent 19 times in 20.

CFIB is Canada’s largest association of small and medium-sized businesses with 109,000 members across every sector and region.

The Commercial Mortgage Some things to consider

I

By Jayson Schwarz and Konstantine Chatzidimos

f you are reading this article you may just be considering acquiring a commercial property, i.e., a commercial or industrial condo, an office building, a manufacturing/warehouse facility, apartment building, strip mall etc., and this generally involves the negotiation of a commercial mortgage. While most of you may have had experience with residential mortgages, commercial mortgages come with their own set of rules and headaches. This article explores a few of the considerations inherent in the procurement of commercial mortgage financing.

CASE BY CASE BASIS The principal challenge in securing a commercial mortgage is meeting the requirements of the commercial lender at a given point in time. Commercial mortgage applications are typically more involved than residential ones and are open to considerable subjective analysis on the part of lenders. This is because the assessed value of the underlying security, i.e., the real estate, is driven mainly by market forces occurring where the property is situated. Hence, location, timing of the current economic cycle, use, rental income and expenses or owner occupancy are key factors considered by lending institutions before advancing a loan.

LOAN TO VALUE RATIO As you can guess, commercial investment properties are viewed conservatively by lenders and require significantly more equity than may be required in the residential scenario.

Loan to value (“LTV�) is the percentage calculation of the loan amount divided by the purchase price. If you know the LTV requirements of a particular lender, you can calculate the loan amount by multiplying the purchase price by the LTV percentage.

Note, however, that the purchase price must be buttressed by an independent property appraisal. If the appraisal shows a value less than the purchase price, lenders will typically use the lower number in determining the loan value.

Commercial Real Estate & Business Opportunities

HOMEWORK BEFORE APPROACHING A LENDER Approaching a commercial lender is not simply a matter of just showing up. There is a long list of things you should know and have prepared prior to making a commercial mortgage application; they include: (i) an appreciation of the typically lengthy commercial mortgage application process; (ii) an understanding of cash flow generated by the property relative to debt servicing the mortgage; (iii) ensuring appropriate ‘conditions’ are set in the Agreement of Purchase and Sale; (iv) the documents the lender will require so it can intelligently assess the risk involved; (v) the third party reports that will be required as well as the approximate costs and time required to complete them; (vi) a knowledge of the financial criteria the lender will use to assess the application; and, (vii) an understanding that the lender may request collateral security in addition to the property; (viii) A survey and all pertinent zoning information.

The above list is by no means exhaustive. As such, it is prudent to meet with a lawyer experienced in the area of commercial real estate acquisitions at the beginning of the process in order to make sure you are covered going into the deal.

TIMELINES Given the higher degree of lender risk inherent in commercial financings, lenders typically require anywhere from 30 to 90 days to carry out their due diligence on commercial mortgage applications. It typically takes this long as procuring various necessary documentation, i.e., Environmental Assessments, Property Appraisal(s), Financial Statements, Operating Statement etc., takes time. Given this, purchasers must ensure that the financing condition in the Agreement of Purchase and Sale affords sufficient time for said diligence to be carried out.

THE PRINCIPAL CHALLENGE IN SECURING A COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE IS MEETING THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE COMMERCIAL LENDER AT A GIVEN POINT IN TIME. COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE APPLICATIONS ARE TYPICALLY MORE INVOLVED THAN RESIDENTIAL ONES AND ARE OPEN TO CONSIDERABLE SUBJECTIVE ANALYSIS ON THE PART OF LENDERS. COLLATERAL SECURITY Prospective purchasers should also be aware of the possibility that other collateral security may be requested by the lender to secure the commercial mortgage. In many cases a personal guarantee will be required. The quantum of the guarantee will depend on lender’s assessment of the overall risk of the transaction. Purchaser guarantees of 50 per cent of the mortgage amount in such deals are common. In addition, lenders typically require property insurance be in place for a sum covering the full quantum of the mortgage.

CONCLUSION Commercial mortgages are more complex financing vehicles than the residential variety to which most people are accustomed. There are numerous elements to be aware of and a considerable number of things to come up to speed on when considering the purchase and financing of a commercial property. This article only scratches the surface and it is recommended that you consult directly with a commercial lender or lawyer experienced in the trials of commercial real estate should you be in the market to purchaser a commercial property.

Perhaps the most difficult part of writing these articles relates not to the actual writing, but thinking of a topic to address.

SkyViews SkyViews Plumbing Preventative Maintenance - Part 2

by Frank Salemi, Municipal Mechanical Services Ltd As a owner or property manager, you know that residents and businesses view any plumbing issue as an emergency.

While some plumbing issues may be urgent, there are others that can wait. Slow drains or pull-up drain stoppers that are off their hooks can wait for normal business hours for repairs. The following are issues that are red-flag piping emergencies and need immediate attention, no matter the time or day: Flooded bathrooms Overflowing toilets Corroded pipes

Broken pipes Gas line leaks Sewage leakage

Greater Toronto Area

Property Manager’s Plumbing Checklist Proactive owners & property managers use a plumbing checklist for periodic inspections of their building’s plumbing. It serves as an early warning system to uncover problems while they are small and repair them. The following are items to check.

Look for sign of leaks in pipes that are visible. These include puddles and water stains on the ground. Pay particular attention to areas where pipes run through walls or the building foundation.

Be alert for signs of corrosion. If not repaired, corroded pipes allow for leaks and poor pipe connections.

Symptoms of corrosion include green stains over and around brass or copper fittings and on shutoff valves.

Older steel pipes show yellow or orange stains.

Water pressure checks ensure that the water comes out with the right force from sink faucets and showerheads.

When water pressure is low, it is often a sign of sediment buildup in the faucet or showerhead. Sometimes, low water pressure is a sign of a situation with the water line.

Resident’s showers sometimes have low water pressure due to sediment clogs. Remove, inspect, and clean the showerhead if there is sediment present.

Slow drains usually mean dirty drains. Check each drain in each unit for drain speed. If a drain is slow, check the

drain and the vent for clogging. Drains should fully swirl when letting water out. Bubbles coming from the drain is usually a sign of clogging. Unusual gurgling sounds are an indication of a potential venting problem.

Flush every toilet to make sure it works properly. Check all internal and external parts of the flush assembly for broken, rusted or missing parts. Make sure the toilet stops when filled. Signs of water on the floor around the toilet show a potential problem. Push each toilet gently to ensure it does not rock.

Check for signs of mildew caused by standing water that has dried.

Check the burner chamber of the water heater for the building. Check for rust flakes in the chamber, and check the flame, too. Flames that burn blue are good, while flames with yellow usually mean the jets need cleaning.

Drain the water heater periodically to remove sediment.

Turn each faucet in the building on — water coming from the handle and valves need repair. Self-inspections take a little time depending on your building size. However, doing plumbing inspections on a regular basis stops small, inexpensive problems from turning into large, costly ones.

Proactive property managers pinpoint plumbing problems while they are small and less costly to fix. The pre-selection of your plumber contractor allows for rapid resolution of problems, so tenants know you have their interests at heart, and the management knows you are on top of things and keeping plumbing service calls down.

GTA OFFICE MARKET FINISHES 2014 ON POSITIVE NOTE, BUT WILL BE TESTED

BY PENDING BACK-FILL VACANCY IN 2015 Avison Young releases its Fourth Quarter 2014 GTA Office Market Report

Vol

“ b m A K s A a c p i a

O o c 2 – C a i 2 e

T

he Greater Toronto Area (GTA) office market finished 2014 with positive results in the fourth quarter as a strong second-half performance more than compensated for a mediocre first half of the year. Leasing was centred in existing class A and new developments, and while occupancy rose in Downtown and suburban West and East, it levelled off in Midtown and the suburban North market. New construction deliveries totalled 15 buildings and 2.4 million square feet (msf) – the most office space delivered since 2009.

These are some of the key trends noted in Avison Young’s Fourth Quarter 2014 Greater Toronto Area Office Market Report, released recently.

The GTA’s availability rate (space marketed for lease) declined 20 basis points (bps) between the third and fourth

quarters to finish 2014 at 11.8 per cent, similar to one year ago, as more than 2.6 msf of lease transactions were concluded during the quarter. In contrast, overall vacancy (physically unoccupied space) increased 10 bps to 9.6 per cent, up 40 bps from year-end 2013 – owing to a steady stream of new office completions.

M A c m u c d a

“The past year has really been a tale of two distinctly different halves in terms of absorption. Though leasing velocity was relatively strong heading into and throughout 2014, it didn’t translate into increased occupancy levels until the second half,” comments Bill Argeropoulos, Principal & Practice Leader, Research, Canada for Avison Young.“As a result, positive second-half absorption more than cancelled out the contraction seen in the first half of the year. Going into 2015, some concerns remain about the threat of rising sublease space, due to ongoing space-planning efficiencies among tenants of all sizes, as well as the large development pipeline and looming back-fill vacancy.”

T i i b o P W s i n

According to the report, four of the six downtown nodes showed gains in occupied space, most notably in class A buildings in the Financial Core, Downtown North and Downtown South, where RBC continued its phased

occupancy at Oxford Properties’ RBC WaterPark Place, which was completed in the third quarter.

“Significant space commitments by large tenants will have back-fill space implications for future absorption as the market proceeds through this development cycle,” says Argeropoulos.“LoyaltyOne inked a deal at First Gulf’s 351 King Street East project in Downtown East for 172,000 square feet (sf) that will return 194,000 sf at 438 University Avenue in Downtown North in 2017. In addition, OMERS and its subsidiaries (including Oxford Properties) have committed to approximately 368,000 sf in Oxford’s own project, the EY Tower in the Financial Core, to be completed in 2017 – consolidating premises from Royal Bank Plaza and 1 University Avenue.”

On the development front, slightly more than one msf of office space was completed in five buildings (75 per cent leased) across the GTA during the final quarter of 2014. GWL Realty Advisors delivered the Bremner Tower – which is the final phase of GWL’s Southcore Financial Centre development in burgeoning Downtown South, and concluded a lease with Amazon for nearly 128,000 sf in the building. Another six msf (60 per cent preleased) in 28 buildings is under construction across the GTA, which equates to 3.4 per cent of the market’s existing stock.

Mark Fieder, Principal, Managing Director, Eastern Canada for Avison Young, adds:“The amount of space under construction continues to be a topic of interest for observers of the market. However, 3.4 per cent of existing inventory is not an unreasonable ratio for under-construction space – and this compares favourably with the figures for Canada’s other big development market, Calgary, where space under construction amounts to more than nine per cent of existing inventory.”

Though almost 1.6 msf of new development was completed in Toronto’s Downtown market during 2014 – the most in any single year since 2009 (3.5 msf) – there will be a brief reprieve from new office deliveries in 2015. Only one building is scheduled for completion this year (Allied Properties REIT’s 285,000-sf Queen Richmond Centre West), before the next wave arrives in 2016, comprising some 2.3 msf. In the meantime, the market is bracing itself for the impending back-fill vacancy resulting from a number of tenant relocations.

“This situation will present opportunities for tenants looking for big blocks, but may hold back any significant rental rate growth,” says Argeropoulos.“Look for at least one more major office tower to be announced in 2015 to meet requirements in the 2018 to 2020 time range.”

He bases the forecast on the fact that remaining downtown developments are in relatively good shape (3.5 msf / 69 per cent preleased), and prelease levels are expected to rise as these projects get closer to completion.

The report goes on to say that suburban landlords, undeterred by urban intensification, delivered more than 768,000 sf in 2014, with another 2.5 msf under construction as of year-end 2014. Although there has been some movement of tenants from the suburbs to urban locations, many organizations are maintaining their presence in the suburbs. Notable recent examples include Aviva, Dell, Sobey’s, TJX, FSCO, American Express, Kraft, Bayer and KPMG, all of which reaffirmed their commitment to the suburbs via renewal, expansion, relocation or design-build.

Argeropoulos adds: “Moving into 2015, Target’s sudden departure from Canada will leave a considerable amount of vacant space across the GTA, not only in the retail and warehouse/distribution sectors throughout the region, but also in the Airport Corporate Centre (ACC) office market in Toronto West, where the company has its Canadian headquarters at AeroCentre V. The ACC has struggled with high vacancy since the Great Recession, when several American firms opted to return large blocks of space to the market. The ACC class A vacancy rate had already been reduced to 11.2 per cent by the fourth quarter of 2014, but when Target’s more than 180,000 sf of office space is vacated, that number stands to rise once again, to approximately 16 per cent.”

Argeropoulos concludes: “Tenants will continue to weigh their options, including newly available back-fill space and the remaining pockets of new construction. To mitigate vacancy exposure, some landlords will introduce higherthan-normal incentive packages to attract tenants while still holding firm on asking rental rates.”

National job vacancy rate climbs in Q3 as unemployment drops

A

n estimated 322,000 private sector jobs were awaiting qualified employees in Q3, according to the latest Help Wanted report from the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB). The nationwide openings in full-, part-time and temporary positions were up by 7,000 jobs compared to Q2 2014, the largest quarterly increase measured by CFIB in the past two years.

“As the unemployment rate goes down, the job vacancy rate goes up,” said Ted Mallett, CFIB’s chief economist and vice-president.“A tightening labour market means that employers have a harder time finding the qualified employees they need; especially small businesses.

Generally, businesses with fewer than 20 employees are reporting vacancy rates more than double that of businesses employing 50 or more.”

and Hants Counties at barely one per cent. On the other hand, job vacancy rates about six-times as high were found in Wainwright, Lloydminster, Claresholm and Cold Lake in Alberta.”

On a seasonally adjusted basis, 2.7 per cent of jobs lay vacant in Canada’s private sector, a tenth of a point higher than in the second quarter. Modest increases were seen in most business size categories.

Of the 322,000 or so vacancies, just over half were in small businesses currently employing fewer than 50 people.

About one-in-five vacancies were in mid-sized firms while almost one-in-four were in large enterprises with employment above 500.

In the past five years, the vacancy rate has climbed from a low of 1.7 per cent in late 2009 and early 2010, rising to 2.6 per cent by 2012. Prior to the recession, the rate of private sector job vacancies topped out at 3.0 per cent through late 2007 and early 2008.

There were fractional increases in unfilled jobs in oil and gas, manufacturing, transportation and financial services. Offsetting those were modestly fewer vacancies in agriculture, wholesale trade, business services and hospitality.

“Once again, CFIB’s data is based on a degree of local and regional analysis that is unmatched by Statistics Canada,” said Mallett.“By drilling down to Census Divisions within provinces – more commonly known as county level detail – we found that the lowest vacancy rates were found in Ontario’s Renfrew County and in Nova Scotia’s Colchester

PUTTING THE PIECES TOGETHER USE MY EQUITY! THE SPONSOR Many times developers, investors and/or business owners (hereinafter called the “Sponsor”) are short on capital to get quality deals funded. The banks or other lenders may have shown interest in funding a loan, but need additional collateral in the transaction through credit enhancement, additional income for debt service etc.

The marketplace possesses a tried and true method of raising this capital, but not in the conventional way.

There are literally tens of millions of dollars of unused capital in the marketplace available for these deals via free and clear real estate that can be unlocked and used by Sponsors to help close those deals.

THE PROVIDER But why would an entity (hereinafter called the “Provider”), content in ownership of its free and clear property, have any interest in becoming involved in a transaction such as this.

There are a multitude of answers why the Provider may wish to unlock this unused or underused equity to further enhance investment yield, change benefits, split partnerships etc. etc.

PROVIDER EQUITY TYPES First of all, it is noted that the concepts are consistently the same regardless of whether we are dealing with a Provider’s small residential lot or a large multi-national corporation’s head office.

Think about these various real property equity options.

Cash (naturally), Office Buildings, Mortgages-Notes, Development Land, Home(s), Retail Commercial, Business(s), Resort, Cottage(s), Hotels, Mini-Storage, Motels, Multi-family, Mobile Home Park, Campgrounds, RV Park, Condominium(s), Timeshare Membership, Interval Ownership, Building Lots, Agricultural Property etc.

To this can be added personal property etc. etc.

Central Ontario

First of all, as a passive Financial Partner, the Provider can use its asset(s) in a number of additional ways, including: a) Joint Venture; b) Loan or Pledge Title; c) Asset Exchange; d) Create a Mortgage against; e) Etc. etc.

The Provider’s increased financial benefits accrue through the exchange of that stagnant equity into a number of interesting optional areas including: (i) Shares in Sponsor’s Development; (ii) Some cash + shares in Sponsor’s Development; (iii) Income producing paper (ie: mortgage(s), preference shares etc,); (iv) An asset class more fitting for the Provider; (v) Many more creative solutions.

CAUTION (i) Creativity does not replace sound required due diligence by all parties in anticipation that all participants come away with better benefits than previous; (ii) With potential capital gains treatment acknowledged, enhanced creativity and tax planning may be required.

Next month we will share a selection of historic, real life transaction closings, through various “USE MY EQUITY” formulas.

CONTINUING CONCERN OVER

Canadian commercial real estate market prosperity

O

ngoing concern regarding the sustainability of the Canadian commercial real estate market’s prosperity is reflected in the fourth quarter results of the Canadian Real Estate Sentiment Survey released today by the Real Property Association of Canada (REALpac) and FPL Advisory Group. The quarterly survey measures the current and future outlook of Canada’s top commercial real estate executives regarding overall real estate conditions, real estate asset values, and availability of capital.

TOPLINE FINDINGS INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING: While many are optimistic about the prospects of continued economic recovery within the United States, international conditions elsewhere dim the go-forward outlook.

There are mixed views as to whether cap rates can continue to compress; some respondents believe any interest rate increases will be offset by strong institutional demand for real estate.

Debt availability continues on, fueled by a low cost of capital; at the same time, some note the conservative nature of Canadian lenders and how that may play into the future.

Equity availability is strong, reflected by investor demand and allocation preferences for real estate.

The REALpac/FPL Canadian Real Estate Sentiment Survey is one of the industry’s most comprehensive measures of

senior executives’ confidence in the Canadian commercial real estate industry. This quarterly survey of CEOs, presidents, board members and other executives connected to the real estate industry measured executives’ current and future outlook on three topics: overall real estate conditions; access to capital markets, and; real estate asset pricing.

Survey respondents represent the retail, office, industrial, hotel, multi-family, residential, and seniors residential asset classes.

To download a copy of the Canadian Real Estate Sentiment Survey, go to www.realpac.ca.

About REALpac: REALpac is one of Canada’s most senior, influential and informative voices in the real property investment industry.

THE BANK OF CANADA RATE DROP

T

he Bank of Canada lowered its target for the overnight rate by one-quarter of one percentage point to 3/4 per cent. The Bank Rate is correspondingly 1 per cent and the deposit rate is 1/2 per cent. This decision is in response to the recent sharp drop in oil prices, which will be negative for growth and underlying inflation in Canada

Niagara Peninsula

Inflation has remained close to the two per cent target in recent quarters. Core inflation has been temporarily boosted by sector-specific factors and the pass-through effects of the lower Canadian dollar, which are offsetting disinflationary pressures from slack in the economy and competition in the retail sector. Total CPI inflation is starting to reflect the fall in oil prices.

Oil’s sharp decline in the past six months is expected to boost global economic growth, especially in the United States, while widening the divergences among economies. Persistent headwinds from deleveraging and lingering uncertainty will influence the extent to which some oil-importing countries benefit from lower prices. The oil price shock is occurring against a backdrop of solid and more broadly-based growth in Canada in recent quarters. Outside the energy sector, we

are beginning to see the anticipated sequence of increased foreign demand, stronger exports, improved business confidence and investment, and employment growth.

However, there is considerable uncertainty about the speed with which this sequence will evolve and how it will be affected by the drop in oil prices. Business investment in the energy-producing sector will decline. Canada’s weaker terms of trade will have an adverse impact on incomes and wealth, reducing domestic demand growth.

Although there is considerable uncertainty around the outlook, the Bank is projecting real GDP growth will slow to about 1 1/2 per cent and the output gap to widen in the first half of 2015. The negative impact of lower oil prices will gradually be mitigated by a stronger U.S. economy, a weaker Canadian dollar, and the Bank’s monetary policy response.

The Bank expects Canada’s economy to gradually strengthen in the second half of this year, with real GDP growth averaging 2.1 per cent in 2015 and 2.4 per cent in 2016. The economy is expected to return to full capacity around the end of 2016, a little later than was expected in October.

The next scheduled date for announcing the overnight rate target is March 4. The next full update of the Bank’s outlook will be published in the Monetary Policy Report on April 15.

Utilize Private Funds In Your Real Estate Today!

Since private money can fund quickly, why not use this funding source to negotiate a better deal for a quick closing, and offset the additional interest rates? I personally am self-employed and I am an avid real estate investor who uses this technique all the time. I pay the going rates and still have a great success from real estate!

Example of how using private money worked for one of our clients: Purchased a power of sale vacant property: $550,000 Used private funding to close Used private funding for a renovation loan Renovated and leased the vacant space Appraised the property after the work was completed: New value $1,100,000 Refinanced with the bank Removed private money: now they have a beautiful property that is cash flowing and their initial investment has been returned!

Please note, first mortgage rates for a private loan average from 7-10% annually, second mortgage rates average from 10-15% annually. We can obtain up to 90% of the value of the property on approved credit. On average this is on higher side, however has been funded. Lender fee and broker fee will also apply.

Private money will fund land, gas stations, vacant properties, distressed properties, construction, and development amongst many others. If you are looking to buy a property and are hitting a wall with your funding, contact info@profunds.ca or reach us toll free at 1-888-330-3866 and we can perform an assessment on your deal today!
