69 Townhouses in North Oshawa

! D OL

SOLD FOR

$7,500,000!

This 69 unit townhouse complex is located in one of the most desirable areas in the City of Oshawa and sits on approximately four acres. Primarily consists of 3 bedroom units which are relatively well maintained with a good tenant profile. Mainly a family oriented complex. Rents are low in comparison to similar properties in the area. The brand new 407 ETR highway extension is being completed for the end of 2015. Rio Can REIT has also begun the development of Windfields Farm which is a 1,500,000 sq ft. retail site located at Simcoe St. North and 407 ETR. Both developments are located less than ten minutes from the subject property. Oshawa is growing at an aggressive pace and boasts one of the lowest vacancy rates in the province. Rents continue to climb at a progressive rate allowing for solid investment opportunities. An excellent rental market whether you’re buying your first rental property or your tenth. Oshawa is a highly sought after market by investors nationwide. If you’re thinking about selling your apartment building today, I encourage you to call me. m This transaction is only one of many I have sold in Durham region over the last two years. We can get together to discuss your property and potential sale options available for you. Remember, don’t just list your property…. SELL IT! Go with a name that produces results!

Economic outlook positions Ontario as one of the growth leaders

he sudden collapse in oil prices has significantly altered the economic landscape in Canada and around the world. While some provinces will be negatively impacted, Ontario joins Manitoba and British Columbia as economic growth leaders this year, according to The Conference Board of Canada’s Provincial Outlook: Winter 2015.

“Ontario, with its minor exposure to the oil and gas extraction sector, is expected to receive a significant economic boost in the short term,” said Marie-Christine Bernard, Associate Director, Provincial Forecast.“Ontario’s economy is projected to grow by 2.9 per cent this year, bolstered by strong exports and consumer spending – the first year since 2002 in which economic growth in Ontario outpaces the national average of 1.9 per cent.” Ontario joins Manitoba and British Columbia as economic growth leaders fuelled by the lower Canadian dollar, stronger U.S. economy and stronger consumer confidence. Swift correction in oil prices will hurt other provinces like Alberta, Newfoundland and Labrador, and Saskatchewan. Nationally, economic growth will be just 1.9 per cent in 2015, down from 2.4 per cent in 2014. Consumer confidence is likely to increase as Ontario households could have up to $1,000 more in discretionary income in 2015, as a result of prices at the pump. While Ontarians will likely save some of it or pay down existing debt, much of it is expected to be spent on goods and services, providing a boost for real consumer spending in the province. Ontario’s exporters will continue to benefit from increased demand from a healthy U.S. economy, which is set to grow by 3.2 per cent in 2015. This, coupled with the combination of low oil prices, the Bank of Canada’s recent interest rate cut, and a weaker Canadian dollar should render Ontario’s products more competitive, boosting exports to south of the border. For most provinces, growing public debt and fiscal deficits will remain a challenge this year. Federal and provincial government revenues will feel the squeeze from reduced

nominal GDP growth. Resource-dependent provinces like Alberta and Newfoundland and Labrador will also be forced to deal with substantially lower-than-expected resource royalty revenues. As governments work to control rising deficits, a new round of expenditure control is expected. The sharp decline in capital expenditures in the oil industry will dampen the economic forecast for Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Newfoundland and Labrador. “The slowdown in Alberta’s energy sector will have far reaching consequences as many of the workers who flew in and out of the province for oil and construction work may now be unemployed,” added Bernard.“It is estimated that $374 million in income was generated in Atlantic Canada from commuting workers.” With the exception of Newfoundland and Labrador, the economic outlook is improving for Atlantic Canada. After some difficult times in the resource and manufacturing sectors, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick are expected to finally see more solid economic growth. The downturn in oil producing provinces is expected to be relatively short lived as prices are expected to rise gradually as the global oil glut eases and global demand improves later this year and in 2016. The Conference Board of Canada will host a webinar, Canada’s Fiscal and Economic Outlook: Small Winners, Bigger Losers, on March 13 at 11am EST.

IS YOUR SMALL BUSINESS VULNERABLE TO FRAUD?

rganizations of all sizes are susceptible to fraud and scams, but it’s the small and medium businesses that are the most vulnerable. According to Canadian accounting associations, SMBs represent the most important employment sector in the country, constituting 99.7 per cent of all business establishments and two thirds of the private workforce, making them a prime target. Their limited ability to allocate resources to prevention and detection means that fraudulent activity can usually go unnoticed until a high price has already been paid. “Another factor that makes small businesses susceptible to fraud is the limited overall knowledge that they have on the subject” notes François Ramsay, Senior Vice-President, Corporate Affairs and General Counsel for Yellow Pages Group.“ The majority of SMBs aren’t aware of the different

014-015 business savvy_safe from fraud.indd 1

ways they could become victims of internal and external fraud, which makes it difficult for them to identify the chinks in their armour and to ensure prevention, detection, and appropriate response measures.” To help increase awareness, Ramsay has identified some of the most common and other not-so-obvious types of fraud that exploit small businesses. Employee Fraud: Unfortunately, studies have shown that even trusted employees, who don’t fit the stereotypical profile of a thief, can engage in fraud-related conduct. If they have easy access to funds in a company that lacks appropriate control systems in the accounting and inventory departments, employees may give in to the temptation to take company resources when faced with personal financial stress and the right opportunity. Impersonators: Some scammers send pretend invoices or try to pass themselves off as legitimate businesses that you usually deal with. SMBs may receive bills for print and online listings or advertisement which they did not order or authorize. Other order forms or invoices that seem to come from well-known supplierscould actually be from fraudsters who have made very

IS YOUR SMALL BUSINESS CYBER-SAFE? With the increasing use of mobile devices and the prominence of social media in our lives, cyber crime poses serious security risks, especially for small businesses. In 2013 alone, cyber crime has cost Canadians $3 billion (in USD) according to a Norton report. “Being cyber safe is a practice that should be part of a company’s regular operations,” said Paul T. Ryan last year when he was in the role of Chief Technology Ofﬁcer for Yellow Pages Group – a company that provides digital media and marketing solutions to Canada’s small businesses. “Small business owners may believe that they are too small to be targeted by cyber criminals, but the fact is that they’re a huge target because of their often less robust security systems.”

subtle changes to that company’s logo and name, hoping that you won’t notice and that you will pay the invoice. Start-ups are especially vulnerable to illegitimate companies claiming to represent the government by offering them funding programs which are hard to understand. Cyber Fraud: Most small business owners are aware of malicious software that poses online security threats. Spyware, malware, and trojan horses are all designed to gain access to sensitive information stored on your computer by tricking you to click a link or visit a fake website. Even social media platforms are potential risks with links sent by a direct message from fans’ and friends’ accounts. But fewer people know about mobile phone scams. Text messages and missed calls coming from numbers you don’t recognize can charge a premium rate when you call or answer back. Small companies who rely most on their mobile phone for business are prime targets. Identity theft: Scammers are assuming business identities in order to steal company assets, such as client lists, credit card information, and business relationships. Confidential electronic information and paper document thefts can be committed in the most mundane way, when computers are not properly password protected or files are left out in the open. Some businesses also do not take proper steps to destroy sensitive data safely, making dumpster-diving and hacking into company networks easy ways to access information. Once businesses have identified their areas of vulnerability to fraud, they can then start taking periodic assessments of risks and developing a simple response plan to guide staff and management in cases when fraud is detected. NC

014-015 business savvy_safe from fraud.indd 2

Ryan suggested implementing a few security measures for small businesses that are looking to protect themselves against cyber fraud: • Tablets and smartphones are great tools for sales teams but, because of their size, they are a target for both theft and fraud. Always protect your devices with a password, frequently back-up your data, and install security, encryption, and locator apps to protect sensitive business information. Most importantly, don’t access private information on free Wi-Fi networks, as they often aren’t very secure. • With the growing use of mobile comes the move to cloud computing. It’s great for data storage, as well as for marketing and sales, but this means that you’re storing your data online, outside your business and sometimes outside the country. Protect yourself by using a service that allows you to encrypt information before uploading or sharing and by only giving access to a limited number of people in your organization. Don’t forget to do your research before choosing a service provider; read their legal terms, know where your data is being stored, and make sure their service ﬁts your security needs. • Social media sites provide another marketing tool for small businesses to reach their potential customers, but they’re also easy targets for hackers looking to get access to private business information. If you’re using social media to promote your business, select only a small number of individuals who can post on your company’s behalf. Also, it’s important to use the site’s privacy controls, ignore requests for sensitive business information, and continue to be on the lookout for spam posts. For small businesses, cyber crime continues to be a very real threat. Ultimately, cyber safety must become the responsibility of all members of an organization, and with the implementation of simple security measures, the high cost of falling victim to this kind of fraud can often be prevented.

Small business weighs in on federal budget

he Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) released its pre-budget submission recently, outlining specific measures that will allow Canadian small- and medium-sized businesses to thrive in a time of economic uncertainty.

•

Simplify Lifetime Capital Gains Exemption (LCGE) and expand it;

•

Reform public sector wages, benefits and pensions; and

•

Address labour shortages and improve workplace training.

After meeting with federal Finance Minister Joe Oliver to discuss its recommendations, CFIB is calling on the federal government to implement these seven key measures in the 2015 federal budget:

The pre-budget submission is based on priorities identified by CFIB members and should be instructive for federal parties as they prepare their economic platforms for the coming election.

•

Reduce the small business corporate tax rate from 11 to 9 per cent;

•

Reduce payroll taxes (e.g., lower EI rates, no increase on CPP/QPP premiums);

•

Reduce red tape (e.g., set a 20 per cent red tape reduction target from baseline over three years);

“Parties of all political stripes are well-served when they advocate policies that support the crucial role that smalland medium-sized businesses play in Canada’s economy,” said Dan Kelly, president of CFIB.“As the employers of nearly 10 million Canadians, small business priorities should be Canada’s priorities.”

•

Simplify small businesses’ dealings with the Canada Revenue Agency;

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

MAKING AN OFFER TO PURCHASE ON INVESTMENT PROPERTIES. 8171452_0915

Dino Nicosia, Broker of Record - Investpro Realty and Appraisal Ltd., Brokerage

Hamilton

o you have decided to invest in real estate and have found the property just right for you. You are now ready to take the next step by submitting an offer to purchase.

Should a few tenants refuse to sign the acknowledgement, then a Declaration signed by the Seller would be a good substitute.

Z T c u m th

• • • • • •

Consider that when you are buying a home you are basically buying bricks, mortar and land. However, when buying an investment property, in addition to the bricks you are also buying rental income and are assuming tenants. Along with tenants comes all the rules, regulations and laws that accompany them. There are many extensive regulations and by-laws such as Fire, Zoning, Health and Safety issues and so on.

TENANTS Your offer should request signed Tenant Acknowledgments on or before closing date, whereby a tenant confirms in writing the following: • Monthly rent, • Rental deposit paid and when, • Move-in date, • Whether any appliance is owned by the tenant, • Whether any utilities are paid by the tenants, • If there are any ongoing Landlord and Tenant disputes • Date of last rent increase • Any interest paid on the rent deposit

o c

R T a •

However, before you proceed with making the offer, ensure that an experienced realtor or lawyer who is familiar with investment properties represents you.

Your offer must have the appropriate clauses and conditions to address all of the above-mentioned rules and regulations.

Vol

•

EQUIPMENT AND SUPPLIES Other information that the offer must contain is confirmation of all equipment and chattels that belong to the property are included in the purchase price (i.e. lawn equipment, vacuum cleaners, appliances, snow blowers, cleaning and hardware supplies, etc.). RENTAL EQUIPMENT Ask for a list of rental equipment that comes with the property and a copy of the contract, if to be assumed. Sometimes laundry machines, hot water tanks and even boilers may be on a rental contract. FIRE CODE REGULATIONS The offer should require that the Seller provide a “Letter of Compliance” from the Fire Department confirming the Fire retrofit was completed and is in compliance. It is highly recommend that the

Please say you saw it in The Commercial Investor

IN C p e c c a a re fr

IN W s e a in o th B

Volume 15 Issue 02

Commercial Real Estate & Business Opportunities

offer requests a copy of the annual fire inspection certificates, completed by a qualified technician. ZONING REGULATIONS The offer should request that the Seller provide a copy of a Zoning Certificate which verifies that all units in the property are self contained, legal and meet the zoning bylaws. Also ask for confirmation that no outstanding work orders exist. REQUISITIONS The offer should also be conditional upon receiving a copy of the following: • All existing contracts, warranties and invoices for recent capital expenditures, • Utility bills for at least 2 years, • Financial statements for at least 2 years, • Existing survey, • Insurance policy, • Current detailed rent roll, • All inspection reports in Owner’s possession (i.e. Structural, Environmental, Appraisal etc.), • Any Rent Review Order available INSPECTION CLAUSE Consider including a clause allowing for a full property inspection including all units; this is an escape clause terminating the offer if you are not completely satisfied with the said inspection. This condition should be for the benefit of the buyer, and must contain the wording “at your sole and absolute discretion”. This means that, if for any reason you don’t like what you see, you can walk from the offer without providing any grounds. INSURANCE CLAUSE With today’s strict rules and regulations some properties may not be insurable due to environmental or electrical issues, etc. If there are issues, the insurance company may reject to insure or charge a premium. For these reasons, the offer must contain a conditional clause allowing the buyer to obtain satisfactory insurance at the Buyer’s discretion.

FINANCING CLAUSE Unlike residential purchases, the conditional period for arranging financing should be extended (15 to 30 business days). Reason being, commercial lenders will likely request an appraisal, environmental and/or structural studies before final approval. If you plan to go with a CMHC insured mortgage, be prepared to extend this clause for a much longer period. This condition should be for the benefit of the buyer, and must contain the wording “at your sole and absolute discretion”. This means that, if for any reason you don’t like the mortgage proposal(s), you can terminate the offer from the offer without providing any grounds. Failure to address any of the above matters may result in unnecessary grief, potential lawsuits and the possibility of paying too much for the property. SELLER WARRANTIES The offer should contain a clause where the Seller warrants and represents items such as but not limited to the following; 1. That all devices, equipment and/or other fixtures will be in working order on date of closing. 2. That the Seller is not aware of any structural defects, hidden damage caused by water seepage or flooding. 3. That all rents as they now stand are in accordance with the RESIDENTIAL TENANCIES ACT 2006, All of which the warranty shall not merge but survive closing; ENVIRONMENTAL Today more than ever, this is a major issue for lenders and buyers. A clause must be inserted that allows the Seller to disclose and warrant that “there is not in, on, under or about the Property any toxic or hazards substances. “ Confirm and ask for warranty that there are no hidden underground oil tanks. Not all issues are covered in this article. For more information on Commercial Offers and related Schedules, contact the writer. Consulting fee applies. 8171394_0915

Safety is your business

• Having the necessary first aid equipment available and ensuring that your employees know how to use it. Training should be provided by qualified first aid organizations;

Did you know, for example, that your employees have the right to refuse to report to work if they fear work conditions are unsafe. And, some clients may choose not to do business with you until they see proof that you have a ‘workplace safety policy’ in effect.

Workplace health and safety matters to everyone, therefore implementing a health and safety program should be considered for most workplaces. The size, the types of potential hazards, and the nature of your business will determine the type of program you require.

Creating a health and safety policy that outlines employers and employee responsibilities will help you identify hazards, reduce or eliminate the risk for workplace injuries, and meet health and safety regulations. Today is the day to ensure safety in your company by:

Take advantage of free information and resources related to health and safety plans, business planning and an array of other business topics by contacting Canada Business Ontario (CBO) at 1-888-576-4444 / TTY1-800-457-8466 or online at canadabusiness.gc.ca.

• Setting out clear health and safety policies;

Wait out market fluctuations

$10,000 investment made in the Canadian stock market in December 1992 and left in until December 31, 2013 would have netted the investor almost $49,000 at an 8.27% annual compound rate of return. And that period saw the tech bubble in 2000 and the 2008–2009 financial crisis. Here’s a comparison of that same investment over the same 21-year period, but taken off the market during the ‘good’ times:

earnings and benefits have been tempered by a drop of over 50 per cent in the price of oil since last July. And yet, here are the 2014 results of some market indexes: S&P/TSX Composite (Canadian shares): 10.55% S&P 500 in C$ (U.S. shares): 24.00% MSCI EAEO in C$ (international shares): 3.73% FTSE TMX Universal (Canadian bonds): 8.79% TRY NOT TO GET CARRIED AWAY BY MARKET FLUCTUATIONS

Off the market during the 10 best days: $26,537 in accumulated capital, $22,346 (or 46 per cent) less than the investor who stayed in the market for the duration Off the market during the 40 best days: $1,225 in lost capital, for a return of $8,775 (or - 0.65 per cent) “It pays to be patient when investing, no matter what your investor profile,” says Pierre Payeur, Senior Advisor of Strategy Support for Desjardins Group’s Wealth Management and Life and Health Insurance Executive Division.“That goes for investments in registered vehicles like an RRSP, TFSA or RESP, and for unregistered investments.” There are myriad reasons for people to want to pull out of the market for a while. The last six months alone saw some ups and downs: tension in Ukraine, escalation in Syria, resurgent violence in Iraq, economic woes in Europe, slower economic growth in China, the Ebola outbreak in West Africa and the recent drop in oil prices. All of these situations had an effect on financial markets, and came to a head in October, 2014.“We saw a significant collective drop in the stock market and a spike in the price of government bonds, which became a popular conservative investment strategy,” says Payeur. POSITIVE RETURNS NONETHELESS The market correction, however, was short-lived, and the U.S. market has rebounded to record highs since mid-November, 2014. The Canadian market was a little more sluggish than others to bounce back, due largely to the importance of the energy sector to the Canadian indexes. Forecasted oil company

Economic conditions can pressure investors to get out of the market so they’re not exposed to instability. However, the data in the following table demonstrates the potential for large financial swings if you do so. The numbers speak for themselves in all of the markets. When it comes to long-term investments, calm and patience is the best approach.“If you want to maximize your chances of making financial plans a reality, stay focused on the long term and don’t get distracted by ups and downs in the market,” says Payeur. Desjardins Group is the leading cooperative financial group in Canada and the fifth largest cooperative financial group in the world with assets close to $227 billion. It has been rated one of Canada’s top 100 employers by Mediacorp Canada. To meet the diverse needs of its members and clients, Desjardins offers a full range of products and services to individuals and businesses through its extensive distribution network, online platforms and subsidiaries across Canada.

How to start a new business

f you have some creative ideas for a brand new business, the first step is to find reliable information so you know exactly what is involved. Here are some helpful tips to make your vision a reality:

• START WITH A BUSINESS PLAN. A good plan is crucial when starting a business. A business plan is a written account of your business idea and serves to show potential investors or lenders that your idea has the viability to succeed. It should also map out the future growth and development of your company. To complete a business plan, you need to know which regulations apply to your company. Many requirements, such as licensing, registration and tax accounts, will be based on the individual choices you make about your business type, location and structure. Be sure to have a clear understanding of what your business will do. • OBTAIN THE RIGHT INFORMATION.

SkyViews 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.

Morguard - 2015 real estate investment trends to watch in Eastern Canada

astern Canada’s commercial investment and rental property markets will continue to provide owners and investors with solid returns in 2015. Strong demand will ensure property values hold at the peak. Bidding on available product will be aggressive, given investor access to low cost debt and equity capital. Performance, measured by returns, will be attractive. Owners will focus on driving income higher to improve overall performance, as values continue to stabilize. Healthy demand will help push annual transaction volume in Eastern Canada above the long-term average of $13.3 billion. “Advancement in Eastern Canada’s commercial property rental markets will be tied to a buoyant U.S. recovery and healthy domestic demand in the coming year,” said Keith Reading, Director of Research at Morguard.“The recent downward adjustment in interest rates will encourage economic activity.” The major property market classifications are expected to register advances in 2015 – with some caution in the office sector. Development risk will remain a fixture in the office sector, with newly constructed, more efficient towers attracting tenants from existing buildings in Toronto, Montreal and Ottawa.

c b f t i

Research Report released today, Morguard Corporation (TSX: MRC) (“Morguard”), provides a detailed analysis of 2015 real estate trends to watch in Canada. The full report is available at www.morguard.com.

T p t a k I d o o r T s n

2015 Real Estate Investment Trends to Watch in Eastern Canada Core assets in Eastern Canada’s commercial property market will continue to reward owners with attractive investment performance in 2015. Recovery in Eastern Canada’s manufacturing sector in 2015, will not only support strong industrial rental market fundamentals, but also boost investment demand.

O p m S w t i m w s w p

Past performance, largely stable rental market fundamentals, and a solid retail sales forecast will continue to draw investment to established retail nodes and centres. The office sector will generate interest, despite development and a mixed demand forecast. Multi-unit residential properties will remain a preferred asset class, given a long history of stable and secure income generation. The industrial, retail and multi-unit residential sectors will post healthy income performance in 2015, in support of attractive investment returns.

F m o i n m o r d p w l d r s

By the close of 2015, the fallout from Target’s exit from Canada will have dissipated, with rental market fundamentals holding firm and healthy. Halifax’s commercial property market will receive a boost from Federal shipbuilding contracts, which will drive economic activity and demand for space.

The industrial, retail, and multi-unit residential rental markets will continue to prosper, given a slightly stronger economic growth trend.

Toronto: The nation’s largest commercial property market is poised for continued advancement in 2015, fueled by a healthy regional economic outlook. Rental markets are expected to register gains in A low Canadian dollar will drive demand for goods the coming year, given positive business and consumer outlooks. produced in Canada’s industrial heartland, supporting The U.S. economic recovery will drive increases in manufacturing strength in Toronto and Montreal’s industrial property and the wider goods production sector, which will support continued markets. industrial market outperformance. Real GDP growth of 2.8 per cent forecast for 2015 will translate a firmer job growth trend and retail Retail sales growth will support leasing activity in Eastern consumption. In turn, the retail sector will prosper.

could materialize, as tenants relocate to newly constructed buildings from older existing towers. Development risk should factor into office sector performance over the near-to-medium term. On aggregate however, rental market trends will drive investment performance in the coming year. The country’s largest urban centre is expected to generate positive investment market trends in 2015. In keeping with the post financial crisis phase of the cycle, returns will remain attractive having reverted to the mean. Income will be the key to upside in performance as values continue to stabilize. Investors will continue to look to Toronto as a preferred destination for investment, given the overall depth and breadth of the market. Available capital will outdistance the supply of available core assets. Despite this imbalance, activity will remain above the long-term average. In short, the Greater Toronto commercial property market will generate continued stability and health in the coming year, in keeping with the national trend. Ottawa: Ottawa’s 2015 commercial property market performance will be mostly positive, although the office market will continue to struggle to gain solid footing. Strong public sector presence and the resulting stability will justify investment in this market. Buildings with longterm government leases will attract the most attention from investors. Returns will remain attractive, with income growth making up the largest portion of 2015 results. Demand will continue to outdistance the supply of properties for sale. Property values, in keeping with the broader cycle, will continue to stabilize at the peak. Healthy investment performance will be supported by solid rental market trends. For the most part, Ottawa’s commercial property rental markets will generate positive results in 2015, despite ongoing stress in the office sector. The city’s relatively small industrial market will be stable and tight, given a lack of new development and positive demand patterns. Retail and multi-unit residential rental fundamentals will include healthy occupancy levels, peak rents, and stable demand. Leasing risk will continue to be a factor in the office market; a weak demand trend in the office sector will continue to hamper progress. The market’s largest tenant, the federal government, will continue rationalization of its space usage, resulting in little or no expansion requirements. As a result, office space demand will continue to disappoint. On balance however, rental market performance will be largely healthy, in support of solid overall sector performance. Montreal: The Greater Montreal commercial property market should generate modest gains in 2015, given steady improvement anticipated in economic results. The region’s economic output is forecast to expand by 2.5 per cent in 2015, following less than 2.0 per cent on average annually over the previous four-year period. The firmer growth trend is

042-043 - News - morguard industry forecast.indd 2

expected to translate into solid performances in the industrial and office rental markets. New supply in the office sector will offset some of the gains. However, the industrial, retail, and multi-unit residential rental markets will continue to show progress. The rental market outlook will continue to support investment market performance. Montreal will continue to attract investment capital in 2015, as one of the nation’s largest centres of business activity. Performance will be largely income-driven, mirroring much of 2014. In short, Montreal’s property sector will reap the benefits of a firmer economic growth trend forecast for 2015, building on recent performance. Halifax: Halifax’s commercial property market is forecast to gradually strengthen over 2015, after a period of stabilization in the preceding two-year period. The Royal Navy shipbuilding contract awarded to the Halifax shipyard will, at least in part, be a key to more robust results. In 2015, the region’s economic growth rate is forecast to increase, to roughly 2.8 per cent in 2015, and 3.1 per cent in 2016, according to the Conference Board of Canada. Most segments of the economy will advance, in support of stable and healthy rental market trends, in the major property markets. The healthier fundamental outlook will support investment performance. Halifax will remain a market that provides investors with diversification outside of the country’s major cities and stable performance overall. In short, Halifax’s economy and commercial property markets are expected to post solid overall performance in the coming year.

SMALLBIZ CONFIDENCE COOLS IN FEBRUARY

mall business confidence mirrored the frosty weather in February, dropping more than four points from last month to reach its lowest level since mid-2009. February’s Business Barometer included some warmer signs coming from Atlantic Canada and healthy optimism in British Columbia, yet the overall national reading of 59.1 was decidedly chilly.

“Decreasing optimism is perhaps expected, given some of the broader trends in the economy,” said Ted Mallett, CFIB’s chief economist and vice-president.“More concerning is the fact that we are now seeing weakness in some of the underlying business fundamentals like fulltime hiring and wage plans. Increased concerns with regard to capital shortages, skilled labour availability, and customer demand are also worrisome.” 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. Past results suggest index levels normally range between 65 and 70 when the economy is growing at its potential. Optimism in Prince Edward Island surged for a second consecutive month and now leads the country at 72.4. The optimism carried over to Nova Scotia (67.7) and New Brunswick (64.8), where the index rose by three points and one point, respectively, but not to Newfoundland

and Labrador (56.2), which experienced its sixth-consecutive monthly decline. Quebec’s index was up by a couple of points and close to the Canadian average at 58.5. Ontario’s confidence plunged by eight points to 60.0, and Manitoba (54.5), suffered its fifth consecutive decline. In the west, Saskatchewan dropped two points to 53.0, and the Alberta index (48.2) continued its freefall. BC remained relatively optimistic with an index of 69.1, but it too dropped from January. The information and financial sectors saw confidence rise in February, however optimism declined in 9 of 13 sectors this month, including manufacturing and retail. On the bright side, although full-time hiring plans were below levels seen in past winters, they were still net-positive. “Weak energy prices, cracks in the real estate market, and a low Canadian dollar, have all combined to cause uncertainty for the Canadian economy,” added Mallett.“How all of these variables play out over the longer term remains to be seen, but the immediate effect has clearly been felt in terms of business confidence.” February 2015 findings are based on 964 responses, collected from a stratified random sample of CFIB members, to a controlled-access web survey. Data reflect responses received from February 1-16. Findings are considered accurate to +/- 3.2 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.

EY’s 2015 banking outlook: Time to redefine the core of a bank

anadian banks need to reinvent themselves through simplification of businesses, deconstruction of products and an end to global universal banking, according to EY’s Global banking outlook 2015: Transforming banking for the next generation.

THE NEED FOR TRANSFORMATION For more than a decade, a mix of consolidation and competition in Canadian banking has created complex organizations, with diverse portfolios of products, operating across multiple business lines. According to the report, Canadian banks will need to fundamentally transform their strategies and operating models based on these five key drivers:

In the aftermath of the financial crisis, new regulations, 1. Quest for growth investor sentiment and evolving customer behaviour are challenging Canadian bankers’ commitment to global 2. New era of competition universal banking. EY’s report shows that around the world, 3. Redefining of the core of the bank banks operating on a global scale reported average ROEs 4. Technology-driven reshaping of banking of around 7.5 per cent in 2013, while large banks with a less diverse business and geographic footprint achieved 5. Redefining of organizational structures an average ROE of around 10.7 per cent. Canadian big six “The banks that focus on their core businesses and redesign banks had an even higher ROE of 15.54 per cent. themselves to be more flexible, lean and more responsive to customer demands, will be the most successful in the “Banks themselves are starting to realize that the creation coming decade,” says de Haan. of new products is often less efficient and profitable than expected,” says Andre de Haan, Canadian Leader, Financial EY is a global leader in assurance, tax, transaction and advisory Services at EY.“The time has come for banks to simplify.” services.

For more information, please visit ey.com/ca. Follow on Twitter @ According to the EY report, there’s little correlation EYCanada. between the breadth of a bank’s product offering and its market share. As a result, banks need to examine what’s EY refers to the global organization and may refer to one or truly core to their business.

If certain back-office functions don’t add a competitive advantage, banks may consider outsourcing them,” says de Haan. DECONSTRUCTING PRODUCTS By breaking products into their component parts, banks will enable customers to pick and choose products that truly suit their needs. If banks succeed at differentiated offerings, they’ll increase share of wallet, reduce the cost of operations, and show regulators they’re treating customers fairly.

Should you flip that house?

any of us envision the gutsy move to flip a house for quick financial gains – and some people are quite successful at doing so, say advisors in this field. For those with the time, energy and technical skills, buying a property to fix up and sell later at a higher price or to rent out for a period of time, can be a worthwhile investment. But do your research.

“Challenges can quickly mount for the novice who chooses to invest in real estate,” says Lincoln Thompson, broker-owner with Royal LePage Gardiner Realty in Fredericton, New Brunswick.“But if you take the time to choose the right home and rely on the right people for expertise, your investment can pay dividends.” Thompson offers three recommendations for success: 1. Take note of the taxes. As the saying goes, the only things certain in life are death and taxes. Depending upon the municipal, provincial and federal taxation requirements for your area, sales tax and land transfer tax will apply at differing levels across the country. You could even be taxed based on the level of renovations if a lot of work has been done. Also, consider the personal or business taxation implications from the sale of the property or on rental income that is generated. An accountant and lawyer are two people you’ll want to bring in early before you venture into

056 money sense - flip that house.indd 1

this realm. If you find the right home in the right location, taxes may not be a deal breaker, but be aware that paying them will cut into your profits. 2. Consider a joint venture, but choose your partners wisely. Each party should bring to the relationship what others within the deal cannot. For example, if you have trade or technical expertise but are lacking funds or financial expertise, you’ll want to concentrate on finding investment partners who bring these skills to the relationship. Don’t partner with people who have the same strengths and weaknesses as you. If you are lacking expertise in any area, including real estate, hire a real estate agent with experience in real estate investment within the location you are considering. An experienced agent will also aid in bringing together the right deal makers. 3. Don’t buy a property without answering these basic questions: Can I buy it below retail market value? Can I do small renovations to increase the value? Is there an increase in demand for the area? Are there sales over list price in the area? What is the nature of the surrounding properties? What amenities and services are within walking distance? Do I need to purchase appliances? Can this property be rented? If so, what are the going rental rates for similar properties in the area? Real estate investment is a great way to supplement your income if you do your homework and set yourself up for success with the right expertise.

legallyspeaking

More than what you bargained for Inheriting tenants with a commercial property

sually a home or property inspector can give you a good idea of the condition of the real estate you are buying. Unfortunately, the one thing an inspector cannot tell you is whether tenants will come with the property, and if they are any good.

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. When you purchase a commercial property, any leases relating to the property will usually be assigned to you at the time of closing. If you consent to this assignment you will be bound to the terms of those leases. For example, these obligations could require that you remove snow from driveways, install or maintain security systems, pay for utilities, etc. Generally speaking, existing leases and then the Ontario Commercial Tenancies Act will govern your relationship with the tenant going forward.

Purchasing a commercial property with existing tenants can be a great way to hedge investment losses in the property. In addition, having them there will save you the time and expense of advertising to fill vacancies and can help you secure financing for the purchase of the property. However, beware. Having tenants brings with it exposure to several types of liability, in many cases dictated by the commercial lease in place and real estate law. As a landlord it is important to understand there may be certain obligations for which you are responsible, and understanding these obligations is critical to ensure you get what you bargained for.

REVIEW THE LEASES PRIOR TO PURCHASE. The leases will list your responsibilities to the tenant and vice-versa. These rights are impacted by the law relating to commercial tenancies as well. Be sure to make ‘Review the leases by your lawyer and that they meet his or her satisfaction,’ a condition of any agreement of purchase and sale. If you don’t like what you hear, it is not necessarily the end of the deal; you may be able to renegotiate the terms of the lease or the agreement of purchase and sale.

Prior to purchasing a commercial property where you will be inheriting tenants: MEET THE TENANTS. It is important to discuss with them any complaints that they have with the property. This will help you gauge whether you will have a good working relationship with your future tenants, and will also provide valuable insight into potential issues with the property. If you have many tenants, or you do not want to deal with your tenants directly, discuss the options for engaging a property management company with your lawyer.

KNOW YOUR TENANT’S RIGHTS. The lease will describe your tenant’s rights and the remedies he or she has against you if a dispute arises. These remedies may include abatement of rent payments, court or arbitration, or even cancellation of the lease. Be sure to have a lawyer review the lease and explain how you may be exposed to liability.

Commercial leases are very complex and intimidating documents; however, understanding your obligations and your tenants’ rights will allow you to feel comfortable knowing that your exposure is limited. These documents function to maintain stability, predictability and in short, the status quo. Landlord-Tenant disputes often arise when a lease obligation is not being fulfilled or is unable to be filled, resulting in issues with the property. Ideally, the landlord and tenant should keep a good relationship in order to be able to resolve these disputes amicably without resorting to the court system or other formal dispute resolution mechanisms. Commercial leases require a lawyer familiar with the concepts and the law. Find a lawyer that has experience in the area because you will need a lawyer just as much after your closing as you did before. Perhaps the most difficult part of writing these articles relates not to the actual writing, but thinking of a topic to address. Please send letters to the magazine or to us. Use the website (schwarzlaw.ca), email (schwarz@schwarzlaw.ca), or phone us at 1-888-609-8888 and give us your questions, concerns, critiques and quandaries. We will try to deal with them in print or electronic form.

How to spot a successful condo investment opportunity

hen it comes to investing in condos, not all projects are created equal. Some are more profitable than others, some provide investors excellent return on investment, while others do not. So, how do you know what to look for when choosing a condominium to invest in?

16G COM

2 LOCATION WITH UPSIDE POTENTIAL While it’s hard to go wrong when you invest in an established triple-A location like Bloor-Yorkville, anywhere near Yonge Street or King West, often it takes a little more foresight to see the greatest opportunities are in areas that are still in transition. Ten years ago, no one wanted to live at King and Bathurst. Now this area is one of the hippest and hottest in the city. Today for example, the east side of downtown is much cheaper on average than the west side, which provides an excellent opportunity to invest. 3 AREAS WITH HIGH RENTAL DEMAND

While there are hundreds of factors to consider when picking the right project, here are four tried and true ingredients for a successful condo project to invest your money:

When evaluating potential condo buildings to invest in, be sure to study the rental market in the immediate vicinity to see how much demand there is to live in the area. Look especially for two things: are rents increasing, and how many days on the market does the typical rental listing last? Areas with rapidly increasing rental rates and low time on the market are more likely to outperform other areas. One area that has a strong rental market right now is Yonge and Eglinton.

1 MULTI-PHASE PROJECTS

4 DEVELOPER HISTORY

Projects that are not just one-off buildings, but rather contain multiple buildings rolled out over time as part of a bigger master plan, are great for investment. If the project is successful at the start, prices always go up for subsequent phases. Getting in early in a multi-phase project is a proven method of making money in condo investing. Some well-known examples of multiphase projects and communities include Cityplace, Liberty Village, the Distillery District, and more recently, the revitalization of Regent Park.

On this point, I’m not referring to whether the developer has a solid history of building good product and finishing on time (while that is important). I’m referring to their history with their investor buyers. The best condo projects for investment are often those where the developer understands and puts a high value on the role of the investor buyer in the sales process. They reward their early investors with great prices, and this translates into strong asset appreciation by the time the building is complete.
