How to plan your business’s growth Beat the competition with disciplined expansion
S
ay you have a successful small business. You have a few employees, and things are going fine. If you’re like many entrepreneurs,
you may never take time to sit down and think about your future growth – how to take your company to the next level in a smart, disciplined way. But growth is an issue many business owners ignore at their peril. In fact, it might just be one of the most important issues facing them as entrepreneurs. “If you decide not to grow, you may be paving a path to failure,� says Patrick Latour, senior vice president, Financing and Consulting at the Business Development Bank of Canada.“If you don’t grow, your competitors will, and that will put pressure on you.�
highly detailed strategic plan, including everything from a mission statement to scenario planning and financial forecasts.
The good news, Latour says, is that business owners can create a road map to guide them and reduce their risk as they grow their enterprise. The road map can help them find more growth opportunities and avoid common mistakes, like failing to delegate responsibility to employees.
Spinning Out of Control
Need a Plan To develop your road map, start by committing time to outlining a plan for your growth, Latour says. It should include a few important basics: t " DMFBS QJDUVSF PG ZPVS CVTJOFTT T DVSSFOU strengths, weaknesses and opportunities t " WJTJPO GPS XIFSF ZPV XBOU ZPVS company to be in the next three to five years t "O BDUJPO QMBO UP BDIJFWF ZPVS WJTJPO (who will do what and by when) Your growth plan could be anything from a rough, informal sketch to a full-blown,
What’s vital is getting the key players in your company on the same page, thinking about your future. “If you’re going to grow, you should absolutely have a plan,� says Paul Cubbon, who teaches entrepreneurship and innovation at the University of British Columbia’s Sauder School of Business.“Failing to plan is planning to fail.� Latour agrees.“The plan doesn’t have to be pages and pages long. Sometimes the simpler, the better. But if you don’t have a planned, disciplined approach to growth, you’re probably going to make more mistakes.�
Christopher Moreno is a firm believer in creating a growth plan – and following it with discipline. His event planning and production business, 365 Productions, was growing so quickly in 2011 that he and partner Ben Patience worried it was spinning out of control. “We were concerned about having too many things on the conveyor belt,� Moreno says. We said: “Eventually the conveyor belt is going to be full, and something is going to fall off the end.� The duo decided to embark on a strategic planning exercise. The process helped clarify their opportunities, risks and roles in the company. The result: a detailed fiveyear plan that included financial forecasts for three different growth scenarios. The plan helped them boost sales to an expected $3.2 million in 2012 from $1.8 million in 2010. They have even exceeded their goals, meeting their year-three UBSHFUT JO NPOUIT "OE UIF QMBO IBT IFMQFE HVJEF B TVDDFTTGVM JOUFSOBUJPOBM FYQBOTJPO JOUP #SJUBJO BOE "VTUSBMJB "MPOH UIF XBZ UIFZ NBEF TVSF UP NFFU SFHVMBSMZ XJUI FNQMPZFFT UP TFF JG UIF QMBO needs any tweaking and check how their plan is being implemented by measuring progress against their benchmarks. “The plan is 10 per cent of the work; the other 90 per cent is actually doing it,� Moreno says. “If you don’t get in the car and drive, the roadmap is useless.� NC

The best and worst for small business in 2012:
ith a look back to 2012, the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) is sharing its list of the best and worst developments affecting small business. The “worst” list includes provincial finance ministers giving serious consideration to expanding CPP, and Visa Canada
hiking credit card processing fees. The federal government, Quebec and New Brunswick made the “best” list for their efforts in fighting red tape.
Best of 2012
Worst of 2012
1. Red tape action (Fed., ON, QC, NB gov’ts): Federal plans include assessing new regulations through a small business lens, a 1-for-1 rule, and service improvement goals. Ontario, Quebec and New Brunswick also made major red tape announcements.
1. Plan to raise CPP premiums (Most provinces): Led by Ontario, provincial finance ministers recently met and are pushing a plan to expand the Canada Pension Plan. Leadership to push back is needed by Ottawa.
2. Improving tax administration (Fed. gov’t) The Canada Revenue Agency now accepts online questions via My Business Account and will honour written responses even if advice is wrong. 3. Municipal Accountability (BC gov’t): BC appointed a municipal Auditor General to oversee local government spending. 4. Labour law changes (SK gov’t): The Saskatchewan Employment Act modernizes, simplifies and amalgamates labour legislation and adds flexibility to the traditional 40-hour work week. 5. Public Sector Pensions (Fed. gov’t): The federal government started to get MP and civil service pensions in line with the private sector. This included raising employee contributions to 50 per cent and requiring new hires to work until 65 6. Pooled Registered Pension Plans (Fed. gov’t): The federal government passed legislation that paves the way for small business owners to provide employees with access to simple, low-cost pensions. Provincial legislation is now needed. 7. Immigration Changes for Trades (Fed. gov’t): With a growing labour shortage, the government announced important changes to make it easier to bring permanent skilled tradespeople into Canada. 8. WCB rate cuts (AB, SK, QC, NB, PEI, YK gov’ts) Average rates in these provinces and territories will come down in 2013, helping small businesses manage costs and encouraging job creation.
2. Credit card fee hikes (Visa Canada): In October, Visa Canada announced major fee hikes and a plan for a new “uber-premium” card with even higher rates. 3. Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB) expansion (ON gov’t): Despite CFIB’s strong objections, the Ontario government moved ahead with implementing Bill 119, expanding mandatory WSIB coverage to previouslyexempt employers in construction. 4. More municipal taxes? (AB gov’t): The province has committed to negotiating new municipal charters with city governments in Calgary and Edmonton. This could significantly expand municipal taxation powers. 5. Eliminating secret ballots (NL gov’t): The provincial government eliminated secret ballot voting for union certification with no consultation. 6. Minimum wage increases (Most provinces and territories): All provinces and territories except Ontario, Northwest Territories, Nunavut and Newfoundland & Labrador increased their minimum wages in 2012. 7. PST expansion (MB gov’t): In addition to breaking its balanced budget legislation, the Manitoba government announced a significant expansion to the province’s sales tax. 8. Canada Small Business Financing Program (Fed. gov’t): The federal government announced changes to its main small business financing program which could require up to 100 per cent personal guarantees and higher interest rates.

TIPS ON FINDING THE RIGHT TENANT FOR THE NEW INVESTOR
Dino Nicosia Broker Of Record And Kandy Thompson Sales Representative Investing in a rental property is an exciting yet huge step and renting to a desirable tenant(s) makes being a landlord a very enjoyable experience. But beware, that finding the perfet tenant(s) can be a big challenge. Renting to a bad tenant can be a nightmare and can even have you regretting becoming a landlord. Hamilton
The following tips will redure the risk of renting to an undesirable tenant and make your journey into the world of apartment renting a positive experience; Marketing your apartment; r When advertising, don’t just promote the unit and all the renovations. Also emphasize the features of the neighborhood such as schools, parks, shopping, hospitals and transportation. r Use the free internet ads available... they are very effective. Very important to display attractive pictures of the property. This will certainly bring a lot of attention to your advertising. r Have open houses on the weekend or after dinner. This will accommodate working tenants that cannot visit during the day time showings. Be selective and follow this procedures: r Have the potential tenants fill out an application and carefully review it. r Once you have chosen the most desirable application(s), you must request credit checks. A credit report will include important information. 1. Displays loan payment history and any collection information for non payment 2. Indicates if they filed for bankruptcy 3. Provides information on how often they have moved over the last few years. If an applicant has moved several times during this period, it may very well indicate they are unstable or non-payers. r Call references provided and ask questions such as: a. How long have you known them? b. What is your relation? c. Would you rent to them and do you recommend them?
d. When making calls to a previous landlord, keep in mind that some owners may not be totally honest, expecially if they wanted to get rid of their bad tenants. Therefore use your discretion. r Drive by the applicant’s current address or visit their apartment and to see how and where they live. r Call their employer to confirm their employment and obtian a bit of work history. How long have they worked there? A person who has a good work history generally indicates they will be a stable tenant. r Appearance is also important, although we can’t always judge a book by its cover. A good rule of thumb is, “if they appear neat and clean, chances are they usually are just that.” Before making the final decision, be sure to ask the applicant(s) key questions: r Why are you moving? r Do you often entertain or party? r Who will be living with you in this unit? r Did you get along with your previous landlord? If not. Why? r Are you prepared to sign a lease? r Do you have any pets? r Are you in favor of direct rent deposit or are willing to provide postdated cheques? (The law forbids a landlord to demand postdated cheques, however you can ask for them) Question to ask yourself: r Do you like their attitude and behavior? r Do you feel they are telling the truth? r What is your overall impression of their appearance and personality? In summary, you must act as the judge. If the credit report is positive, and you have done your homework, then make your decision based on facts and listen to what your gut tells you.

How to groom your website for growth
Making the most of your online efforts Hamilton
I
magine you own a shoe store. It’s in a busy shopping mall and has an inviting storefront with an attractive sign and window displays. You’re almost guaranteed traffic – and probably sales, too, if you’ve got halfway decent products and prices.
Having a poorly optimized website can be a problem even if most of your sales don’t happen over the Internet, says Mark Evans, a leading Canadian digital marketing and startup consultant. “The Internet is the way most people discover new products and services.” Happily, small businesses can use simple, inexpensive tools to help level the playing field with large businesses, Evans says. “A small, agile, creative company can be as effective online as a big company.” Philip Murad has found a way to turn his website into a gold mine for his fast-growing business, Philip & Henry, which books magic shows for a network of magicians across North America. Murad’s website accounts for three-quarters of his sales, which have been growing up to 30 per cent annually for the past decade. Clean, simple layout
Now picture that same shoe store on an out-of-the way country road with a grimy window and a crooked sign. It doesn’t matter how great your footwear is. You probably won’t have enough customers to stay in business. Now ask yourself which of those two stores most resembles your company’s website. In today’s business world, your website is your storefront. It could be the main way customers are finding you and forming an impression about you. A properly designed site is especially important if your business is growing and you are trying to improve your profile. But many small businesses don’t devote a lot of effort to optimizing their site to ensure it’s easily found via internet search engines and geared to help make sales. Sites need improvement “A well-designed site can help your company compete effectively with businesses that have deeper pockets and larger marketing budgets,” says Michel Bergeron, Senior Vice President, Marketing and Public Affairs at the Business Development Bank of Canada. Ranking high in search engine results is vital for your visibility online, Bergeron says. People rarely venture beyond the first page of a Google search result. Indeed, research indicates that websites appearing on the first page attract 90% of the traffic.
Visitors to Murad’s site are greeted with a clean, simple layout that’s easy to navigate without a lot of scrolling or clicking. The site prominently displays links allowing them to get a price quote or book a show in their area. There’s also a short YouTube video featuring happy customers, and contact information is easy to find at the top of the page. The site also ranks phenomenally well in Google searches – showing up on the first page out of 150 million results for the term “magic shows.” A paid ad for Philip & Henry is the top result in a search for “magician.” Murad credits years of experimentation with search engine optimization — the art of getting search engines like Google to rank your site near the top. He sprinkles his content with a few dozen keywords that describe his business and help him stand out from the competition. He also works hard on attracting links to his site. That’s because such links are one of the main ways Google uses to determine search engine rankings. The more links to your site, the higher you’ll usually rank. “There’s a saying: ‘Content is king and links are queen,’” Murad says. “The more people talk about you and share your content on Facebook, social sites and YouTube, the more it improves your ranking.” All his online efforts have paid off with a payback higher than for any other kind of marketing, he says – worth up to $100 in returns for each $1 in costs for his best-yielding campaigns. “If there was no Internet, we’d be finished. It’s huge for my business – absolutely huge.”

Protect your name and brand equity
s a business owner, you have taken steps to protect your business from security threats like theft. Have you also taken steps
to protect your business name? Your business name, the name of your products or services,
and even your domain name are all tied to your brand equity. That value can be compromised if you underestimate the risk of not protecting it. The Canada Business Network offers helpful information on protecting your brand. Your brand value is a direct result of how memorable, easily recognizable and superior in quality and reliability your products or services are to others in the marketplace. Brand equity is important when you want to expand your product line. Customers will remember your name and associate new items with existing, successful ones.
business has a similar name, it can create confusion or incorrect assumptions among your customers. What if the other business has a poor track record? You don’t want to be tarred with that same brush and have it negatively affect your bottom line. In some cases, another business might try to take advantage of the goodwill or value associated with your brand name, and uses it for their own gain. Consider a trademark to protect your brand. Don’t forget about your online presence. Make sure that any domain names and hosting accounts you have are secure by using passwords and other safeguards. Even if you don’t have a website for your business, you may want to register and keep your own domain name (“yourbusinessname.ca”) or names that are similar, so that no one else can use them. Minimize the risks your business faces, and protect both your name and reputation by staying on top of things. More information on protecting your business is available at www.canadabusiness.gc.ca or by calling 1-888-576-4444 (TTY 1-800-457-8466).
There is a flip side to brand equity, however. If another

Building or renovating commercial properties:
construction liens 101
By Jayson Schwarz and Konstantine Chatzidimos
Greater Toronto Area
I
f you construct or renovate a property you should know about construction liens
and how they can affect real estate. A lien is, simply, a claim against property. A construction lien is a special kind of claim created by a statute called the Construction Lien Act. These liens are used by people who do construction work or supply materials and/or services for the construction, repair or alteration of land or buildings.

legallyspeaking
Lien rights do not replace, but add to any other rights suppliers or servicers may have for recovering their money at law. Among those who would ordinarily use construction liens are general contractors, trades people, surveyors, architects, designers and material suppliers. Construction liens encumber title to the property; effectively preventing the owner from mortgaging or selling it. The right to a lien arises as soon as someone provides services, work or materials to a construction site. The Act provides that this lien expires if it is not “preserved” – or registered – within 45 days after the last substantial supply of services or materials. Often times, the registration of the lien itself is sufficient to get the claim paid, unless, of course, there is a fundamental dispute about the sum owed. Even where the amount is in dispute, the party against whom the claim is made may pay the amount into court by cash or bond along with estimated court costs and the lien will be discharged with the parties battling it out later in court. If you then miss the period for registering your lien you can still sue in ordinary court. Registering a lien gives the lien claimant priority on title against any future mortgagee or owners of the property. This effectively prevents the property owner from mortgaging or selling the property without dealing with the lien claimant. Lenders will not provide construction money or financing on a property that has
outstanding construction liens unless arrangements have been made for the settlement or discharge of the lien. Further, a purchaser will not be obligated to close a deal unless lien claims have been dealt with and removed from the title. In the instance where the claim is filed and the lien remains unpaid, the claimant has an additional 45 days (meaning a total of 90 days after substantial completion) to register a Certificate of Action against the lands and premises. This means a lawsuit has been commenced. If this additional step is not taken, the claim will normally expire. Often, the expense of multiple court actions by workers on the same project can be avoided by a process called “sheltering” in which claimants proceed under the umbrella of one claimant and sometimes share the costs. Under the Act, anyone paying another party to work on a construction project, or to provide materials or services, must hold back 10 per cent of the amount owing until the time for filing all liens relating to the holdback has expired. Normally, all funds are released once the 45-day period for all parties has passed. Obviously, the termination of the 45-day periods will be different for all the parties, since their different stages of work and supply will have taken place at different times. Any individual who does not hold back the amount that they were supposed to, will still be liable for that amount and possibly more, if others further down the construction chain do not pay the amounts that they were supposed to. In the case of construction mortgages, the bank or lending institution will hold back 10 per cent of all money paid out until respective lien periods have expired. It is a good idea if you are considering registering a lien, to consult with your lawyer as soon as possible. Your lawyer will tell you what information you will need to register in a timely fashion. It takes time to prepare properly and register, don’t be late! In any registration process there can be glitches and things that need to be changed at the last minute. It is generally a good idea to plan to register by day 40 of the eligibility period in order to allow for any last-minute problems. The lien can be removed from title after either: its expiry for failure to perfect, a settlement in some fashion, payment into court by way of cash or bond, or a final judgment. There are costs and penalties for those who file false or inappropriate liens. The Lien legislation is complicated. The information above is simply an outline and not intended in any way to be a comprehensive analysis of construction lien law or actions that should be taken in any particular circumstance. If you wish to discuss construction liens or your particular construction lien problem we advise you consult a solicitor experienced in real estate law. Perhaps the most difficult part of writing these articles relates not to the actual writing, but thinking of a topic to address.

“The economy continues to grow, albeit modestly,” added Mallett. “Entrepreneurs are reporting generally positive news about employment and capital investment plans. That suggests growth could improve once we see more economic optimism in the U.S. and Europe.”

Full-time hiring plans continue to be strong for this time of the year. The percentage of businesses expecting to hire full-time staff in the next three or four months remains above 20 per cent, compared to 10 per cent who say they will cut back. Overall, 41 per cent of business owners described their state of business to be in “good” shape, about three-times the 14 per cent who said their state of business is “bad.”
size businesses held steady in December, according to the Canadian Federation of
Greater Toronto Area
Independent Business (CFIB). The latest monthly Business Barometer index came in at 62.6.
“After a few months of swings, small business confidence ends the year very close to what it was in November,” said Ted Mallett, CFIB’s chief economist and vice-president.“While optimism is better than it was during the summer, the December reading is lower than index levels that were registered in the preceding winter, spring and fall months.”
As Canada’s largest association of small- and medium-sized businesses, CFIB is Powered by Entrepreneurs™. Established in 1971, CFIB takes direction from more than 109,000 members in every sector nationwide, giving independent business a strong and influential voice at all levels of government and helping to grow the economy. Measured on a scale of 0 and 100, an index level above 50 means owners expecting their businesses’ performance to be stronger in the next year outnumber those expecting weaker performance. According to past results, index levels normally range between 65 and 70 when the economy is growing at its potential. The December 2012 findings are based on 889 responses, collected from a stratified random sample of CFIB members, to a controlled-access web survey. Findings are statistically accurate to +/- 3.3 per cent 19 times in 20.
Small business owners in Newfoundland and Labrador (69.1) remain the most optimistic in the country. Entrepreneurs in Saskatchewan (66.5), Alberta (65.7) and British Columbia (65.0) are above the national average, while Ontario (62.9) and Manitoba (62.3) is roughly equivalent. Nova Scotia (61.8), Quebec (59.8), New Brunswick (59.1) and Prince Edward Island (54.3) are all below the national average.

o matter whether you are thinking of selling your business, or planning your retirement, or planning for the future, you need a sound business succession plan.
Succession planning involves establishing your exit strategy and deciding how to hand your business over to someone else. Having a plan can smooth the transition, protect your work’s legacy, build value for your business, and help ensure financial security for your family and other interested individuals. When planning your exit strategy, it’s best to start early. According to the 2011 TD Waterhouse Business Succession Poll, 76 per cent of small business owners don’t have such plan. Taking the time to plan can save you countless hours down the road, so to get you started, here are few things to consider when drafting your plan: t %FUFSNJOF ZPVS HPBMT BOE PCKFDUJWFT GPS UIF business.

GTA commercial REALTORS release quarterly commercial market figures
T
oronto Real Estate Board (TREB) Commercial Division Members reported transactions amounting to almost 3.9 million square feet of leased space through the TorontoMLS
system in the Fourth Quarter of 2012. This result was down by 30
Industrial properties accounted for 83 per cent leased space reported in the last three months of 2012. The average industrial lease rate, for properties leased on a per square foot net basis and for which pricing was disclosed, was down slightly from last year, at $4.65 for Q4 2012 versus $4.92 for Q4 2011. “There were a substantial number of lease transactions in the Fourth Quarter of 2012, but the level of activity remained lower than in the same period in 2011. While the Canadian economy continued to grow in 2012, the pace of growth was somewhat anemic, especially where the export sector was concerned. The high value of the Canadian dollar continued to be a competitive disadvantage to export-focused firms. In addition, economic uncertainty in the United States coupled with global economic headwinds, prompted many exporters to remain on the sidelines in 2012 with regard to real estate investment,”said TREB Commercial Division Chair Cynthia Lai. Fourth Quarter 2012: All Commercial Lease Transactions Total Leased Space for All Lease Transaction Types on TorontoMLS
Industrial
Q4 2012
Q4 2011
There were 214 commercial property sales reported through the TorontoMLS system in the Fourth Quarter of 2012 – down from 300 sales in the Fourth Quarter of 2011. Sales were down for all property types on a year-over-year basis. The number of industrial sales was closest to last year’s level – down by 17 per cent to 97 transactions. Commercial/retail and office transactions were down by 28 and 49 per cent respectively. Average sale prices per square foot, based on transactions for which selling prices were disclosed, were up substantially for the industrial and commercial/retail segments. Over the same period, the average selling price for office properties was down. “Given that the pace of sales was slower this year compared to last, the large average selling price increases for industrial and commercial/retail properties were more associated with a change in the composition of sales. For example, in the Fourth Quarter of 2012, there was greater proportion of industrial sales in smaller size categories compared to the Fourth Quarter of 2011. All else being equal, smaller properties tend to sell at a higher price per square foot,” continued Lai. Fourth Quarter 2012: All Commercial Sale Transactions Total Number of Sales on TorontoMLS

Tips for financing your growing business Make a plan before you need the money
I
s it time to go shopping for a major purchase for your growing small business? It can be hard not to get swept up in the excitement. Whether it’s a
major technology upgrade or shiny new equipment, you probably spent hours shopping around for the best product, comparing consumer reviews and talking with vendors. Then comes the hard part: How to pay for it? Here’s where many entrepreneurs could be doing a better job. Financial planning for an expansion project may not be quite as sexy as a cool new smart phone or bigger digs for your office. But it’s critical to make sure your investment doesn’t stretch your cash flow and sink you. “Growth can put an enormous strain on the cash flow of a company,” says Patrice Bernard, Senior Vice President, Financing and Consulting at the Business Development Bank of Canada. “Small business owners often make the mistake of financing growth out of their cash flow or by cobbling together a patchwork of smaller loans for each individual purchase,” Bernard says. Protect Cash Flow The result can be poor financing rates and repayment conditions. Or even worse – the company may suddenly become caught in a cash flow squeeze. And then it may be too late to line up any financing at all. “It’s as if you used a credit card to finance your home renovations. Your cash flow would be really affected,” Bernard says.
Eastern Ontario
“Bad financial planning is especially common – and risky – at fast-growing companies,” says Peter Brown of financial advisory firm Deloitte, where he is national leader of private company services. “High growth can kill you if you don’t have the capital.” Bernard agrees: “You need to plan more if you’re expanding because you usually have much higher accounts payable and receivable.” The solution is to take time to do a financial plan for upcoming investments, preferably at the beginning of each year. The first step is to work out how much financing you’ll need based on your overall business growth plans. Next, meet with your financial partners early on to discuss your plans and brief them about your needs for the coming year. This is the time to secure a credit line for your investments in the coming year, which you can draw on as needed and then convert into long-term debt at the end of the year. Plan Financing The idea is to plan your financing to have the best possible conditions for your debt. The exercise may even show that you need more than one financial partner

to give you enough flexibility. And never pay for large expansion projects out of your cash flow, Bernard says — even if it looks like you’ve got oodles of extra cash on hand right now. “That’s a big mistake,” Bernard says. “When cash flow is good, you think it will always be like that. But if a company is growing, it has to invest much more than other companies. And profits usually won’t be enough to cover your investments.” Brown agrees: “It’s always better to seek financing before you need it rather than during a crisis. It shows good management. Financiers are much more likely to give financing to an entrepreneur who shows good management.” Rob Read always used self-financing at his quickly growing fire extinguisher maintenance company, Bison Fire Protection, as it ballooned from five employees to 50 over the past decade. But when Read and partner Émile Jolicoeur decided to expand into new lines of business, such as fire alarms and sprinkler services, they realized they needed better financial planning. They brought in an outside consultant to help them develop their overall business strategy, and that included laying out a financial plan. The exercise led them to do their first budgeting and forecasting and add overdraft protection and a line of credit to make sure they’ve had money lined up before they actually needed it. Equally important, Read says, he started including his financial partners more in his planning through regular meetings to discuss coming needs. “They’re partners in our business. They’re definitely part of the team.”

The “Street Smart Real Estate Appraiser” –
A Plan
My last article was about Location as it could relate to property appraisal. An experienced appraiser should be able to critically judge different types of locational issues as they relate to the valuation of a property. Some of these questions could be: What are the current neighbourhood issues? Are there changes to factors influencing the location of the property? Do neighboring properties have pride of ownership? Is the commercial exposure good or is it changing with new roadway improvements? Is the political climate going to make an impact on the location? What are the demographic trends in the location? Do you feel safe walking through the neighbourhood location? Is the immediate location close to municipal infrastructure? What I have found in the 20 plus years in the real estate industry is there is always someone that understands a property better than I do! Who are these other real estate pros? What do they think? What do they see? Why should I find them? What’s important to them? Why do they buy? In my opinion, some of these people include: the Property Owners, Property Managers, Developers, Brokers, Builders, Bankers, Accountants, Lawyers, Business Owners, Engineers, Architects, Consultants ....etc. These people offer an important contribution to the valuation of a property because they are industry specific professionals. Depending on the property being appraised, it’s best to talk to these people, understand what they think, know and see, and ultimately get their “trade secrets”. The mission - become a “STREET SMART APPRAISER”!! I once again turned to a business owner; typically I talk with business owners that own property to facilitate their day to day business. Large corporations with vast real estate requirements sometimes employ a full-time real estate expert, while several business owners of large corporations out-source these real estate services and deal with them directly. I recently completed a job for a client that gave me lots of real estate advice. One of the real estate valuation techniques I’ll give you is “A Plan”! John Holer emphasized this appraisal “technique”. John is the founder of the well known amusement park known as Marineland. The park was first opened in 1961. Owing to its proximity to the Falls and other natural park areas and its blend of animal attractions and rides, it is one of the main tourist destinations in Niagara Falls, Canada.
Niagara Peninsula
When I want to purchase a property I first have to develop “A Plan”. The Plan needs to include a series of questions: why do I need this property, what are my choices (lease or purchase), could I build it new, how do I finance it, what do I think about the economy and the political climate, what is my exit strategy, do I need more money after I purchase for renovations, etc. The answer to these questions will help develop the overall Plan and aid in the purchase of the property. These are some of the questions a real estate appraiser should ask himself when appraising a property for a client. Ultimately does the Plan make logical sense?

Mortgages
Watch out for those Collateral Mortgages! So what is a “collateral mortgage?� A collateral mortgage is a loan that is secured against property for an amount that is typically 100% or in excess of the value of the property rather than the amount of money actually borrowed. Typically a collateral mortgage is registered for a secured line of credit. Today many banks are offering what are thought to be regular mortgage loans when in reality they are collateral mortgages secured against the entire amount of equity in a property. A traditional mortgage lets you establish a set amount to be borrowed, the rate for the term chosen (e.g. 2.3% for 5 years) and the amortization so that the borrower will know exactly when the whole amount will be paid off and will also know what existing equity may be available in the property. If a borrower of a “traditional� mortgage wished to borrow more by using a second mortgage or registering a home equity line of credit, they could. However, a borrower of a “collateral mortgage� may not have this flexibility. This problem arises because the value of the bank’s “security� differs from that of what is actually lent. Several banks here in Canada are now going forward with this new approach. One notable culprit, TD Bank, is actually registering 125% of property value, even though that amount has not and never will be advanced to the borrower. Their objective is to have a greater chance of the client returning to the bank for more financing due to the fact that the bank would have secured their entire value of the borrower’s property. A transfer to a new bank is going to be more costly because a lawyer must always be involved. The borrower is often trapped! Another major issue that should be considered prior to stepping into a collateral mortgage involves the other debts the borrower may have. Under Canadian law a lender of a collateral mortgage may seize equity to cover other debt you have with the same lender. So, in essence, you are securing all of your loans, credit cards, lines, car loans, and overdrafts held with the lender of your collateral mortgage. Many borrowers are not even aware of what they’re getting into since bank sales representatives often conveniently fail to mention these details. When the bank sends the paper work to your lawyer you may find an unpleasant surprise and often at a time far too late to allow for arranging new financing. If you are looking to purchase a second home or an investment property, any collateral loans you have will be registered on your credit bureau. When you approach a new lender for a mortgage the lender will have to calculate you eligibility/approval based on what is registered on your property, not just the amount received from the lender. You look leveraged and now your ratios may not allow you to qualify for an approval on other purchases. If you are a real estate investor, this is suicide to you. Real estate investing is about flexibility and the last thing you want to do is limit your access to equity. TD isn’t the only bank to offer collateral mortgages. Credit unions also use them; HSBC and the Royal Bank have a “re advanceable mortgage,� which is a collateral mortgage. Scotiabank’s STEP is also a collateral mortgage. Most chartered banks will not accept “transfers� of collateral mortgages from other chartered banks so the borrower will have to pay larger fees to register a new conventional mortgage if the decision is made to move to a new lender. However, if you already have a mortgage with one of the lenders that register loans in this way, it would be wise to remove yourself as soon as possible in order to gain control over your debt! Collateral mortgages allow lenders to change the interest rate after closing. All a borrower has to do to trigger an increase in interest rate is miss a payment. Since the collateral mortgages are being registered with rates as high as prime + 10% (regardless of the rate stated on your original mortgage document), lenders will cover their potential losses by increasing the rates if they feel a potential default in the horizon. When looking for financing it is much better to have a broker working for you rather than putting your fate in the hands of a specific, branch level, bank mortgage specialist. It is the banks objective to keep you as a customer and only offer you an option from its limited selection of financing options. A mortgage broker/agent has access to several lenders that are not available at street level and can negotiate on your behalf, buy down rates, and confirm that the mortgage is best suited for you. Don’t let big banks tease you with these low rates and get caught in a trap. When something looks too good to be true it usually is.

Skyline to acquire strategic retail and land development interest in Blue Mountain Village $20 million acquisition will include option to expand iconic resort village
S
kyline International Development Inc. will soon add another jewel
to its resort property crown.
Skyline, one of Canada’s leading owners, operators and developers of resorts and destination communities, has entered into a binding agreement of purchase and sale and will be investing $20 million to acquire both retail and undeveloped residential land interests in and adjacent to the renowned Blue Mountain Village at the base of Blue Mountain Resort which offers ski, golf and lodging. Under the retail portion of the agreement, Skyline will acquire 50 per cent of existing commercial retail space within the Blue Mountain Village from current owner Intrawest ULC. In addition, Skyline will manage the remaining 50 per cent of the Village’s retail space. Skyline will also acquire the land to build an additional 20,000 sq. ft. of retail space to expand the Village retail. Skyline’s retail interest under agreement at Blue Mountain is currently generating $1.5 million of net operating income. In the residential portion of the acquisition, Skyline will acquire all remaining developable land in and adjacent to the Village, planning to double the Village’s current residential and condo-hotel footprint. Skyline intends to develop over 1,200 residential and condo-hotel units, townhouses and single-family homes in the years ahead. “This agreement reinforces our vision to be the leader in the Canadian destination-community industry,” said Skyline Chairman and President Gil Blutrich.“With this acquisition, Skyline will become the largest owner of resort and destination communities in Ontario. Skyline will own properties in the province’s five fastest-growing hubs – Toronto, Collingwood, Midland, Huntsville and Barrie – which gives us over 7,000 future superior residential units and home sites and a strong strategic advantage for the foreseeable future. By adding Blue Mountain Village resort lands, it allows us to expand services for the members of our prestigious SkyLife Club with a new club lounge for our members in the centre of the Village with access to Blue Mountain’s wealth of amenities, from skiing to adventure activities and golf, on a year-round basis.”

Blue Mountain Village - Blue Mountains, Ontario, Canada (CNW Group/Skyline International Development Inc.)
Founded in 1998 by visionary entrepreneur Gil Blutrich, Skyline has expanded rapidly, growing its asset base from $20 million (in 2000) to close to $300 million today with the acquisition of premier resort properties in Southern Ontario. The company recently introduced its innovative SkyLife Club, Ontario’s first yearround city and country club offering family-oriented recreational, leisure and social activities and benefits through the premier portfolio of Skyline Hotels & Resorts. Skyline’s unique vision and go-to-market strategy to date have focused on reinvigorating potentially high-income properties by renovating their existing hotels and residential units, then expanding their residential and retail footprint with an emphasis on turning those properties into lifestyle communities. The firm has achieved impressive results by introducing scalable systems and corporate efficiencies to these properties and restoring maximum profitability. Blue Mountain Resort averages more than 700,000 skier visits per year. The resort attracts an estimated 1.4 million visitors each year, while the surrounding Southern Georgian Bay area lures 9.1 million visitors and $1 billion in tourism-related revenue annually – much of which is derived from the 6 million residents of the Greater Toronto Area, a two-hour drive southeast. The anticipated closing date for the acquisition is late February 2013. “Blue Mountain Village and real estate development is an ideal fit for our organization given Skyline’s experience as an owner and manager of other wellknown Ontario resort properties such as Deerhurst and Horseshoe Resorts,” said Skyline CEO Michael Sneyd.“This acquisition not only makes financial sense and aligns with our long-term growth strategy, but strengthens our market position and creates opportunities for Skyline’s continued Canada-wide expansion.” About Skyline International Development Inc.: A leading Toronto-based developer of hospitality properties and destination communities, Skyline International Development owns over two million square feet of real estate, has over 2,600 acres and nearly 1,300 rooms in its holdings, as well as four Ontario spa outlets, and employs more than 1,500 staff. Its unique asset mix includes a partnership and asset management interest in downtown Toronto’s iconic The King Edward Hotel, as well as ownership of, under the Skyline Hotels & Resorts brand, the city’s contemporary boutique Cosmopolitan Hotel and Pantages Hotel. Skyline’s resort assets include landmark Deerhurst Resort with 45,000 sq. ft. of meeting space lakeside in Muskoka, and Horseshoe Resort, home to Toronto’s closest ski area as well as an adventure park. The company is also creating residential destination communities at Deerhurst, Horseshoe and, most extensively, at the historic lakefront of Port McNicoll, Ontario, a restored gateway to the 30,000 Islands, a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve. In late 2011, the privately owned company raised CDN $27 million in financial institution private equity to fund continued growth and also acquired its first U.S. asset The Cleveland Arcade and Hyatt Regency Cleveland at the Arcade.
