Bramalea City Centre (BCC) Receives Prestigious Level 4 BOMA BESt Certification BCC is the first 1 million+ sq. ft. Canadian enclosed shopping centre to receive Level 4 Certification

B

ramalea City Centre (BCC), located at 25 Peel Centre Drive in Brampton, proudly announced its recent BOMA BESt recertification. The Building and Owners Managers Association of Canada (BOMA) has developed a unique national certification program for existing commercial buildings in order to recognize and reward environmental leadership within the commercial real estate industry. BCC recently achieved BOMA BESt Level 4 which means that all of the program’s Best Practices in environmental management have been met and that the score on the BOMA BESt assessment was 90 per cent.

“We are thrilled to be recognized for our commitment to the environment,” said Bao Lu, Operations Manager, Morguard Investments Ltd. “As the first one-million+ sq. ft. enclosed shopping centre to achieve level 4 BOMA BESt Certification under Version 2 of the program, we are proud of our environmental leadership and hope our efforts to improve energy efficiencies will serve as an example to others in our industry.”

In January 2012, BOMA Canada launched BOMA BESt Version 2, the latest of this unique, national and voluntary program. BOMA BESt Version 2 demands heavier standards of energy and environmental performance in the building assessment surveys to demonstrate the industry’s evolving best practices. The program is designed

to measure the environmental performance and management of existing buildings, all of which include: offices, shopping centres, open-air retail plazas, light industrial buildings and multiunit residential buildings. The six key areas of environmental performance and management focus on: energy, water, waste reduction and site, emissions and effluents, indoor environment and environmental management system.

As part of BCC’s green initiative, the shopping centre also offers a free electric vehicle charging station to electric vehicle owners.

Individuals are encouraged to ‘charge up’ while enjoying the retail offerings of the shopping centre. The charging station can be found on the east side of the parkade, off of Lisa Street.

ABOUT BRAMALEA CITY CENTRE: Bramalea City Centre is the dominant regional shopping centre in the City of Brampton. Located at the corner of Queen Street and Dixie Boulevard, Bramalea City Centre is in the heart of one of Canada’s fastest growing communities. The newly expanded two-level shopping centre offers 1.5 million sq. ft. of retail shopping space, showcasing a solid tenant mix of over 350 stores and services including Forever 21, BCBGMAXAZRIA, Browns Shoes, Joe Fresh, Pandora, Express and Target. Well anchored by Sears, the Bay, Metro and Best Buy, the centre also offers three convenient mini centres along the perimeter of the property, offering nationally branded services, retailers and restaurants such as ScotiaBank, the LCBO, Home Outfitters and Moxie’s. The site is approximately 82.2 acres in total. For more information, visit bramaleacitycentre.com.

ABOUT MORGUARD: Morguard Corporation (TSX: MRC) is a major North American real estate and property management company. It has extensive retail, office, industrial and residential holdings owned directly and through its investment in Morguard REIT (TSX: MRT.UN) and Morguard North American Residential REIT (TSX: MRG.UN).

Avison Young releases 2014 commercial real estate forecast for Canada, U.S. Guarded optimism for Canadian markets in 2014 while U.S. commercial sector continues to demonstrate improvement

C

anada’s commercial real estate markets experienced some changes in 2013 that could pose challenges in 2014.

However, ongoing development is an encouraging sign that the markets remain strong, offering opportunities for occupiers, owners and investors. In the U.S., although delayed by a year due to political gridlock, the return to normal operating conditions and the reduction of monetary easing due to tapering are the catalysts necessary to unlock the capital that has been building up on the balance sheets of investors and occupiers.

These are some of the key trends noted in Avison Young’s 2014 Canada, U.S. Forecast, released recently.

The annual report covers the office, retail, industrial and investment markets in 36 Canadian and U.S. metropolitan regions: Calgary, Edmonton, Lethbridge, Mississauga, Montreal, Ottawa, Quebec City, Regina, Toronto, Vancouver, Winnipeg, Atlanta, Boston, Charleston, Chicago, Columbus, Dallas, Denver, Detroit, Houston, Las Vegas, Long Island, Los Angeles, New Jersey, New York, Orange County, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Raleigh-Durham, Reno, San Diego County, San Francisco, San Mateo, South Florida, Tampa and Washington, DC. “Over the past few years, Avison Young has been advising its clients to invest in Canada for stability, seek higher return opportunities in the U.S., and plan for higher interest rates as the North American financial markets pick up steam and fiscal stimulus is removed. The last point was the most important, as too many investors were fixated on quantitative easing as a paradigm shift and a free-money right versus an opportunity. The 15-year decline in interest rates and related cap-rate compression that was the driver of returns had to come to an end at some point,”comments Mark E. Rose, chair and CEO of Avison Young.

He continues: “While it is true that interest-rate policies have boosted returns significantly, pricing is stable as the voracious appetites of the REITs are being replaced by healthy demand from pension funds and institutions, which have significant discretionary capital and use lower levels of debt when making acquisitions.”

The report shows that of the 36 office markets tracked across North America, 24 markets saw vacancy rates decline during 2013, with a greater number of U.S. markets seeing an improvement than Canadian markets. A similar result unfolded on the industrial front. Despite lower vacancy levels recorded in U.S. markets, a distinct, though narrowing, gap persists between the two countries. The Canadian office market collectively reported a vacancy rate of 8.3 per cent in 2013, compared with 13.9 per cent in the U.S., while Canada’s industrial vacancy rate settled at 4.6 per cent, roughly half that of the U.S. (9 per cent).

“It was only a matter of time before we started to see improving vacancy rates across the U.S. property markets, particularly in the office and industrial sectors.

While the recovery has been uneven, it’s demonstrating improvement, now that some of the political clouds are starting to clear,” says Bill Argeropoulos, vicepresident and director of Research (Canada) for Avison Young.

“Though stable, it is not entirely surprising to see the commercial real estate sector in Canada pull back a little. Keep in mind, while other property markets around the world were wallowing in recession, Canada bounced back fairly quickly. If anything, we are well-positioned to exploit our proximity to the U.S., which is still the home of the globe’s largest economy,” he says.

Rose adds: “For 2014, we believe the negatives of the past several years now become positives. Tapering will occur during the first quarter of 2014, interest rates will rise further, and real estate debt will become more expensive. It is important to note that this trend is now expected and should not shock the system. For Canada, solid leadership at the national level has positioned the country for a potential budget surplus in 2015-16, which in and of itself could be inflationary. Yes, pricing is challenging and feels a little ‘toppy,’ but quality assets with great covenants are in demand, and there is ample capital willing to acquire long-term holdings.”

“The U.S. has not achieved the same stability and premium pricing, but has continued to attract core and opportunistic capital, with Canada being the No. 1 foreign investor in U.S. real estate in 2013. Despite the continuation of political disruptions that undermine significant progress, Washington, DC appears to be finding some common ground.”

“If we give users and occupiers of real estate a clearer, stronger economy in which to grow, and investors a stable underwriting environment that limits surprises and allows for well-defined investment strategies founded in fundamental real estate investing, we could be celebrating a very happy new year in 2014,” explains Rose.

The report goes on to say that the U.S. commercial real estate markets had a mixed performance in 2013, though most moved further towards recovery, and there were a handful of standout markets. Vacancy rates for the office, industrial and retail sectors declined year-over-year.

inthenews “Many of the U.S. commercial markets saw improvement in 2013 despite the many political uncertainties and economic headwinds. For 2014, forecasted GDP growth bodes well for positive absorption and expansion,” points out Earl Webb, Avison Young’s president, U.S. Operations.

CANADA Office: The single-digit vacancy rates, robust demand and stable-to-rising rental rates that many of Canada’s office markets enjoyed during and since the recession may soon come under pressure. Leasing velocity tapered following a strong start to 2013 and, as the year progressed, a burgeoning sublet market emerged, especially in Toronto and Calgary. By the end of 2013, the national office vacancy rate increased to 8.3 per cent. This compares with 7.5 per cent at yearend 2012 and a recessionary high of 9.2 per cent at year-end 2009. Tepid demand, along with nearly 27 million square feet (msf) of new office development under construction across Canada and scheduled for completion by 2017, will prompt modestly rising vacancy levels by the end of 2014. In all, the national office vacancy rate is projected to rise 90 basis points (bps) and finish 2014 at 9.2 per cent.

Looking back on 2013, of the 11 Canadian office markets surveyed, market-wide vacancy rates increased to varying degrees in eight and declined in three markets. Eight markets continued to post single-digit vacancy rates, while seven markets registered rates below the national average (8.3 per cent).

Calgary, the nation’s largest development market, saw its vacancy rate spike 210 bps to a respectable 6.6 per cent at the close of 2013. Edmonton (-70 bps to 7.6 per cent), Alberta’s capital, had a strong year and was the only western market, and one of only three Canadian markets (Ottawa and Quebec City), to see a year-overyear improvement. Regina, despite a 100-bps increase between 2012 and 2013, once again recorded the nation’s lowest office vacancy rate at 5.2 per cent.

Looking ahead to 2014, office vacancy rates will escalate in four of the six western markets, owing to new supply and continued tepid demand, while vacancy rates are expected to retreat slightly in Edmonton (-40 bps, 7.2 per cent) and Winnipeg (-20 bps, 6.9 per cent).

Eastern Canadian office markets didn’t fare better than their western counterparts in 2013, with vacancy levels rising in three of the five markets surveyed in the East. The Toronto West/Mississauga market saw the biggest upward movement in vacancy (+170 bps, 14 per cent). Unlike in Montreal (+110 bps, 10.9 per cent), Toronto’s vacancy rate remained in singledigit territory (+90 bps, 8.8 per cent). Quebec City experienced the greatest improvement, with vacancy dropping 90 bps to 6.5 per cent. In the nation’s capital, Ottawa (-60 bps, 5.8 per cent), vacancy was the lowest amongst the eastern markets.

All five markets in Eastern Canada are projected to finish 2014 with higher vacancy rates, the most notable increases coming in Toronto and Montreal, as both markets will continue to endure sporadic demand while

welcoming the first wave of new development. Toronto (+170 bps, 10.5 per cent) will see vacancy enter double-digit territory for the first time in nearly a decade, while the other markets will see increases of between 30 and 100 bps.

Argeropoulos adds: “Office development continues unabated across the country and will offer occupiers a plethora of options over the next four years, should they decide to take advantage of the efficiencies provided by the latest and largely LEED-designated developments.”

“The work-live-play phenomenon persists in many of the country’s downtown markets as employers are in hot pursuit of the highly educated workforce growing in increasing numbers in Canada’s major urban cores. At the same time, there’s a greater emphasis by the development community to seek out and develop sites near existing or future transportation arteries, in the hope of combating downtown’s appeal by urbanizing the suburbs. Meanwhile, LEED buildings have narrowed the downtown/suburban cost gap, enticing suburban tenants to consider downtown options,” he says.

According to the report, nearly 27 msf (48 per cent preleased) has been announced or is under construction across Canada, equating to 5 per cent of the existing inventory. Calgary and Toronto are the dominant development markets in the country, combining for nearly 17 msf or 62 per cent of the overall construction projects. Calgary surpassed Toronto as the biggest development market in Canada with almost 8.9 msf (only 38 per cent preleased) - an exceedingly high proportion of the city’s existing inventory at 13 per cent and more than twice the national average. Close behind is Toronto with 7.8 msf (48 per cent preleased), equating to five per cent of the city’s existing inventory.

Vancouver is next with 3.5 msf underway.

Retail: Canada’s retail landscape remains extremely competitive as domestic and foreign players (mostly from the U.S.) vie for strategic hard assets and major retail brands, despite exceedingly high household debt levels and the prospect of softening consumer spending. Joining the established chains Walmart and Costco, Target, the latest U.S. retail giant to enter the Canadian marketplace, finally rolled out its 124 stores across the country with mixed reviews. Merger and acquisition activity among domestic grocery retailers became prominent as Loblaw bought Shoppers Drug Mart and Sobeys acquired the Canadian assets of U.S. grocer Safeway. All of this activity is part of the retail industry’s effort to lower overall operating costs, increase purchasing power with manufacturers and leverage more efficient distribution channels.

Bricks-and-mortar retailers are becoming more innovative in an era of intense competition, focusing on staying relevant and competitive against online options, differentiating themselves with unique concepts and products, customer service and product expertise. Customers increasingly examine products in a traditional bricks-and-mortar setting but buy them online, and retailers are adapting with new “omni-channel” strategies. Meanwhile, big-box retailers are experimenting with small-format urban concepts.

The face of urban and suburban retail continues to change. Growing demand for complete communities - where people can live, work, shop and play - is encouraging developers to consider high-density, mixed-use projects that include street-level retail with underground parking and office and residential units above.

Competition has forced major retailers, including Staples, Best Buy and Sears, to slash jobs and reduce footprints. Sears’ move provided domestic and foreign retailers (including Nordstrom and Simons) opportunities to secure coveted retail space in some of Canada’s premier malls, such as Toronto’s Eaton Centre.

At the same time, landlords continue to invest in regional malls to accommodate incoming tenants and attract new entrants to the Canadian landscape.

“The new omni-channel strategy, increasingly being deployed by retailers, is blending retail, warehouse/distribution and logistics. While e-commerce may result in the closure or downsizing of more retail stores as bricks-and-mortar and online retail converge, additional industrial space will be needed for order fulfillment and merchandise returns,” notes Argeropoulos.

Commercial Real Estate & Business Opportunities

Real Estate’s Long Term Investment Strategy can be compared to the Chinese Bamboo

By Dino Nicosia, Broker of Record,

Investpro Realty and Appraisal Ltd.

8171452_0514

Hamilton

This is my favourite article that I share with my investors at the beginning of every year. This is the foundation of Real Estate Wealth and we have to keep reminding ourselves to be patient and hold for long term.

Worth Waiting For… North American investors who are obsessed with the next quarter’s results, in contrast with their Chinese counterparts, might draw a lesson from the example of the Chinese Bamboo.

“Consider the Chinese Bamboo: the seed is planted. It is watered. It is fertilized. But the first year nothing happens. The second year it is watered and fertilized again, but nothing happens. The same process is repeated during the third and fourth years; still nothing happens.

Yet, during the fifth year, in a period lasting no more than six weeks, the bamboo grows 90 feet.

Did the bamboo grow 90 feet in six weeks, or 90 feet in five years?

The answer is five years, because at any time during that interval, had fertilizing and water not been maintained, the plant would have died.”

As the bamboo, real estate in the long term will pay off. Be patient and take care of your investment, in the end it will take care of you. Buy and hold for the long term.

History has proven over and over, that in the long term, Real Estate is a solid investment. Real Estate is a true hedge against inflation with the potential to bring excess wealth to the Wise Investor.

With the continuing increase in immigration and with limited land available, it just reinforces the old saying that you should “buy land because they do not make it any more”. This has never been so true.

Industrial: Canada’s industrial market remained active in 2013 as vacancy rose modestly in some markets and declined in others. Collectively, the 10 industrial markets surveyed recorded a vacancy rate of 4.6 per cent as 2013 wound down, slightly higher than the 4.4 per cent registered at year-end 2012.

Despite the increase, vacancy remains some 200 bps below 2009’s recession peak. Low vacancy rates and stable-to-improving demand levels are spurring new development and are expected to push vacancy to just below five per cent at year-end 2014.

All 10 industrial markets surveyed continued to post market-wide vacancy rates in the single digits at yearend 2013. Six markets saw a lift in vacancy year-overyear, and three (Edmonton, Toronto and Ottawa) saw vacancy slip lower compared with year-end 2012. On average, vacancy rates in the West are 100 bps lower than those in the East.

The energy sector continues to drive the Western Canadian markets, particularly in Alberta. Edmonton’s industrial vacancy rate dipped 50 bps to 3.3 per cent, while Calgary (+60 bps, 5.5 per cent) and Lethbridge (+40 bps, 2.6 per cent) witnessed nominal increases in 2013. Winnipeg (+30 bps, 2.6 per cent) matched Lethbridge for the lowest vacancy among western markets, while Regina (+100 bps, 3.6 per cent) recorded the greatest increase. Western Canada’s largest industrial market, Vancouver, saw its vacancy rise 30 bps to 3.9 per cent, despite millions of square feet of new product added to inventory in 2013. Vacancy in largefloorplate, modern distribution buildings remained exceptionally tight in all markets, with the supply of industrial land a concern for the future.

Going forward, the West will continue to perform well.

However, new development will put upward pressure on vacancy rates by the end of 2014 in every market, except Winnipeg (-20 bps, 2.4 per cent).

In Eastern Canada, the manufacturing sector continues to re-tool, anticipating demand from recovering U.S. consumers. Montreal (+120 bps, 6.6 per cent) has the highest vacancy rate in the entire country. Vacancy in the nation’s largest industrial market (and North America’s second-largest), Toronto, retreated 10 bps to settle at 4.4 per cent. Ottawa boasts the country’s lowest industrial vacancy, just shy of 2 per cent.

By the end of 2014, vacancy is projected to trend higher in all four eastern markets. Montreal will climb further (+40 bps, 7 per cent) and will be one of three markets (with Calgary and Toronto West/Mississauga) to carry a vacancy above the projected national average of 4.9 per cent.

Supply shortages have encouraged build-to-suit and speculative development, with more than 8 msf under construction across Canada. Construction activity is skewed towards the West (58 per cent of national total), where development is spread across several markets, while Toronto accounts for virtually all of the space under construction in the East. Toronto leads all Canadian markets with almost 3.5 msf under

construction, followed by Calgary and Edmonton in the West with 2.2 msf and 1.7 msf, respectively.

“Improving strong demand for high-clear height, large-bay industrial facilities, coupled with steady new supply desired by users, will push rents higher in 2014.

On the other hand, this situation will create challenges for less-desirable existing product, resulting in ongoing repurposing of obsolete buildings,”says Argeropoulos.

Investment: The stable footing exhibited by the leasing markets, along with the never-ending supply of cheap capital, has propelled investment volumes and pricing to record levels over the past four years. However, in spring 2013, interest rates began to rise, and although the impact was not immediately evident, as the year progressed, investment activity waned and the pricing trajectory changed.

The interest-rate-sensitive REITs, which had been the most active buyers across the country, are now faced with flat, or falling, unit prices. With the 2013 tally still to come, slightly more than $20 billion (CAD) worth of assets (office, industrial, retail, multi-residential and land) changed hands through the first three quarters of 2013 - possibly leaving the record $28 billion that sold in 2012 intact.

Despite the prospect of higher interest rates, capital flows into commercial real estate will remain stable in 2014.

“Acquisition fundamentals have changed as all investors (particularly REITs) confront a more challenging capital environment and buyers becomes more selective. With capital more costly, investors will become more active asset managers to enhance returns. Moreover, as some REITs scale back acquisitions, others may cull assets, spurring additional sales activity,” says Argeropoulos.

Irrespective of some REITs staying on the sidelines, competition among pension funds/advisors, life companies and especially emerging private equity players will intensify, while high pricing leads more buyers towards development. Toptier, well-leased assets are expected to maintain their values and remain highly contested, while secondary and/or challenged assets will see upward cap-rate adjustment.

Noteworthy transactions in 2013 ranged from single assets to portfolios, including the Jacobs Engineering building in Quarry Park in Calgary, which set a new historic low in terms of suburban office capitalization rates in Alberta; the iconic Place Ville-Marie in Montreal; and a large portfolio of office and industrial buildings by GE Canada Real Estate Equity in Toronto.

“As reported in the media late in 2013, Orlando Corporation has sold Bayview Village in Toronto’s north end to a group representing British Columbia Investment Management Corporation,”notes Argeropoulos.“In addition, six regional enclosed shopping centres in Ontario and British Columbia were recently sold by the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board to two separate buyers, Morguard Investments Limited on behalf of Healthcare of Ontario Pension Plan and Morguard REIT, and Bentall Kennedy on behalf of its Prime Canadian Property Fund.”

“These deals clearly demonstrate investors’ desire to place capital in order to generate a return instead of keeping their cash on the sidelines. These transactions also indicate that assets still command elevated prices, even if they are not necessarily in prime locales - and pension funds and their advisors are willing to fill the void created by the departure of some REITs from the marketplace,”he says.

U.S. Office: Avison Young office markets tightened in 2013 and concluded the year with an average vacancy rate of 13.9 per cent, down 40 bps from year-end 2012, with many markets reporting a return to pre-recession conditions. Overall construction and deliveries of office product remained lower than the historical average; however, the volume of construction increased by nearly 50 per cent compared with 2012.

All markets, except Houston, New York, San Mateo and Washington, DC, recorded a drop in vacancy, and three (Columbus, Pittsburgh and San Francisco) reported vacancy in the single digits. Houston, New York and Washington, DC have more than 5 msf of office space under construction apiece. Houston tops the list with 11.8 msf of office space under construction in an effort to address pent-up Continued on Page 32

demand for class A space from the oil and gas industry.

Among Avison Young markets, New Jersey recorded the highest 2013 vacancy (-40 bps, 20.8 per cent) and is projected to climb further in 2014. Las Vegas (-50 bps, 19.2 per cent) and Detroit (-90 bps, 19 per cent) also recorded high vacancies. But with no construction underway in either market and a notable six straight quarters of positive absorption in Detroit, further declines in vacancy can be expected for both of these markets in 2014.

Atlanta, Long Island, NY and Orange County all experienced significant decreases in vacancy during 2013. Atlanta showed notable signs of improvement with rising rents and a 150-bps drop in vacancy (18.6 per cent) as businesses hired more people. The growing success of the financial, healthcare and energy sectors on Long Island has resulted in positive absorption in all submarkets, allowing for a 180-bps decline in vacancy to 16.2 per cent. And in Orange County, increased demand resulted in a 220-bps drop in vacancy (15.1 per cent) and the most desirable locations are seeing rental-rate increases.

San Diego and Raleigh-Durham are forecasted to see the largest drops in vacancy of all markets in 2014 (-230 bps to 14.9 per cent and -270 bps to 12.6 per cent, respectively). San Diego has experienced several consecutive quarters of positive absorption - a trend that will continue, as 92 per cent of office space under construction is committed. A lack of new office construction in Raleigh-Durham in recent years has driven class A vacancy down rapidly, forcing many tenants to turn to preleasing options.

Milestones were reached in many of the largest U.S. cities in 2013. In Chicago, construction returned after a hiatus of several years with 1.7 msf of office space under development in the central business district. In New York, the delivery of the four World Trade Center (2.8 msf) in Downtown and 51 Astor Place (400,000 sf) in Midtown South in 2013 marked the beginning of the strongest construction cycle since the 1980s. In the South Florida/Miami area, office sales pricing jumped to $181 per square foot (psf) from $141 psf year-over-year, an increase of more than 27 per cent.

Retail: The U.S. retail market saw demand outpace new deliveries and recorded strong occupancy levels with significant progress being made in several markets. The combination of lower vacancy and strong absorption is forecasted to result in upward pressure on rental rates in 2014.

In 2013, Atlanta witnessed its lowest retail vacancy rate (9.6 per cent) since 2008. Rental and sales pricing have skyrocketed in some cities, with average retail rental rates in New York increasing 4 per cent year-over-year and rental rates in Los Angeles expected to reach north of $27 psf by the end of 2014, a two per cent yearover-year increase. In South Florida, retail transactions have dominated leasing activity and sale prices saw a corresponding increase.

A couple of stalled projects were resurrected in 2013 as

markets improved. In Las Vegas, The Shops at Summerlin project, a 1.6-msf, mixeduse mall that sat dormant for about five years after its development ceased in 2008, is underway again with delivery expected in late 2014. In New Jersey, construction has progressed on the American Dream Meadowlands project, a 2.8-msf shopping and entertainment center that has been in the works for more than 10 years. It is expected to create thousands of jobs and garner worldwide attention due to its proximity to MetLife stadium, the site of Super Bowl XLVIII in February 2014.

Industrial: The industrial sector also saw a year of positive growth among Avison Young U.S. markets in 2013, with the overall vacancy rate declining 90 bps to 9 per cent from 9.9 per cent. Many markets reached pre-recession benchmarks, while projects under construction at year-end 2013 totaled 43.2 msf and increased by a staggering 97 per cent compared with year-end 2012.

Avison Young industrial markets that demonstrated the most improvement during 2013 included Charleston, Denver, Detroit and Reno; however, the lowest vacancy rates at year-end were found in San Francisco, Long Island, Houston and San Mateo.

While the industrial vacancy rate in Boston is among the highest of the U.S. markets at 13.9 per cent, improvement was evident after 3.8 msf of space was absorbed between September 2012 and September 2013, allowing the vacancy rate to dip below 14 per cent for the first time since 2008. In Dallas, demand for industrial space has caused the vacancy rate to fall to its lowest point since 2002 (6.6 per cent).

Even with more than 9.5 msf of industrial space under construction, the most in the nation, vacancy is expected to remain historically low throughout 2014 in Dallas.

Orange County’s industrial market has high levels of preleasing and strong rent growth. In 2014, the county is forecasted to see the greatest improvement in its vacancy rate, dropping to five per cent from 8.3 per cent during the year. Industrial properties are leading the way in Reno’s recovery, with vacancy falling 250 bps to 10.6 per cent from 13.1 per cent year-over-year. Vacancy is forecasted to fall into the single digits by year-end 2014. Philadelphia has more than five msf (60 per cent preleased) under construction, the second most in the nation. Tampa is seeing a revival in the construction industry after a lull, with 420,000 sf worth of industrial projects set to break ground in the first quarter and plans for a pair of 1-msf Amazon warehouses in the works.

“E-commerce has been a major business driver for industrial/warehouse product, as demonstrated by Amazon’s phenomenal growth,”adds Webb.“In the greater Chicago area, they have confirmed plans for a one-msf build-to-suit in the Southern Wisconsin submarket and will be bringing 1,000 new jobs to the market.”

Investment: Webb continues: “Even with the vacillations in market conditions in 2013, the real estate markets continued to provide investors with a reasonable risk/return investment alternative and saw significant capital seeking acquisitions across all property types. We continue to see opportunities in high-quality assets in second-tier markets as the returns remain 100 to 200 bps above those for similar properties in the top six or seven markets.”

Overall, investment activity among Avison Young’s U.S. markets is trending upward, and nationally, sales volume of more than $300 billion will top 2012’s total sales. Washington, DC, a perennial top investment target, has lost some favor with investors but the region’s position as the U.S. capital and strong market trends will support its ongoing desirability to investors. Other top markets, such as New York, San Francisco and Texas, continue to garner investor interest that will be sustained through 2014.

Canada led all other countries by a significant margin in capital investment in the U.S., and Manhattan, Los Angeles, Dallas and Chicago were top destination markets among foreign investors.

Webb concludes: “The markets are still dependent, to some degree, on the historically low cost of borrowing - both investors and occupiers are benefitting from this debt market. Those favorable conditions will persist at least into the first half of 2014. Look for sustained improvement in real estate fundamentals and further market acceleration this year.” www.avisonyoung.com

businessbarometer

Business Barometer: Confidence among entrepreneurs up in January On a scale between 0 and 100, an index above 50 means owners expecting their business’ performance to be stronger in the next year outnumber those expecting weaker performance. One normally sees an index level of between 65 and 70 when the economy is growing at its potential.

S

mall business optimism rebounded in January, but it is not quite back to levels we had seen July through November last year. CFIB’s Business Barometer Index rose 1.7 points to 64.0 in January, clawing back about half of December’s losses.

The gains were mainly the result of a 2.5-point gain in Ontario (to 65.4), which is once again posting optimism levels above the national average. Perspectives in Quebec (56.2) also improved, but businesses there remain the country’s least upbeat. Nationwide figures, however, masked notable declines in business sentiment in the four Western Provinces. Overall, the most optimistic business owners are in British Columbia (71.8) and Newfoundland & Labrador (68.1).

Sector profiles remain pretty tightly bunched around the overall average, which is normally a positive sign. However, the important consumer sectors of retail and hospitality are below the mid line.

Seasonally influenced future hiring plans have moved sharply upward, similar to the patterns seen last year. One-in-four businesses plan to take on more fulltime staff in the next few months, compared to 8 per cent who plan to cut back.

Pricing and wage plans continue to trend higher, rising to 1.6 per cent and 1.7 per cent respectively on an annualized basis.

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

Salary or dividends? Small business owners should review their compensation strategy before year-end CIBC offers guidance for small business owners on withdrawing funds from their corporations as salary or dividends Small business owners risk paying too much in income tax by making the wrong decision on whether to withdraw funds from their corporations as salary (bonus) or as dividends, says CIBC’s tax and estate planning expert, Jamie Golombek.

In a new report, Mr. Golombek offers guidance to small business owners on the most efficient way to pay themselves from their corporations, in light of recent and future changes in tax rates and rules. The report assesses the impact of the tax rate advantage, the tax deferral advantage and the tax-sheltering benefits of an RRSP as factors that can affect the compensation decision for small business owners.

“Each year, small business owners who run their businesses through corporations can choose to receive compensation from their corporations as either salary or dividends. This year, changes such as increases in the highest personal marginal tax rates in several provinces and modifications to taxation of dividends will significantly impact the compensation decision,” says Mr. Golombek.

For small business owners who need to withdraw funds in 2013 “When small business owners need to withdraw funds in 2013 to pay for personal expenses, the 2013 tax rate advantage is an important factor in the compensation decision,” says Mr. Golombek.

“Paying dividends can generate tax savings when there is a tax rate advantage.”

Paying dividends is generally the best option for SBD Income (which is income up to the small

business deduction limit of $500,000 in most provinces) due to the tax rate advantage in most provinces, which ranges from 0.56 per cent to 4.54 per cent in 2013. For ABI (which is active business income above the small business deduction limit), paying salary is generally a better option due to the 2013 tax rate disadvantage in most provinces, ranging from 0.47 per cent to 5.88 per cent.

For small business owners who can afford to leave money in the company “For small business owners who don’t need to withdraw funds in 2013, it can pay to defer dividends to a future year,” says Mr. Golombek.

Although there will be a tax cost associated with paying dividends after 2013, there is a significant tax deferral advantage that may help to offset this cost. This year, the tax deferral advantage ranges from 25.00 per cent to 35.50 per cent across the provinces for SBD Income, and from 13.30 per cent to 23.07 per cent across the provinces for ABI. Mr. Golombek added,“If investing the deferred amount will generate enough income to offset the tax cost, then paying deferred dividends is the better way to go; otherwise, small business owners should still withdraw funds in 2013.”

Tax-sheltering benefits of an RRSP While paying dividends may be advantageous in many cases, distributing corporate income as salary rather than dividends creates earned income that allows small business owners to contribute to an RRSP. Small business owners may wish to consider paying sufficient salary to maximize RRSP contributions, particularly if the RRSP invests in higher rate of return, highly-taxed investments over a long time horizon.

“Taxation rules for businesses are quite complex and can change regularly,” says Mr. Golombek.“Business owners should consult with a tax professional and a financial advisor for a complete analysis of all factors in the compensation decision.”

More details along with rates for 2013 and 2014 for all provinces are available in Mr. Golombek’s report, The Compensation Conundrum: Will it be salary or dividends?

Investing in Cash-flow is hard to do in Canada. The entry price point of real estate is too high that generating a good return is difficult. Not so in the USA. America`s real estate is still completely undervalued and there are certain areas that are key areas that should see signs of capital appreciation. One such location is Columbus, Ohio.

Columbus ranked 10th best city for homeownership. A new ranking from NerdWallet.com (an online personal financial resource) has listed Columbus as its 10th best large city for homeownership in 2013. The methodology of the ranking examines the availability and affordability of homes as well as the growth rates of these cities.

Here’s what they had to say about Columbus: Columbus is a great place to settle down and buy a home, with its low unemployment rate and low cost of living. This college town (home to the Ohio State University) has a laid-back Midwestern vibe, and the city has world-renowned hospitals (including The OSU Wexner Medical Center) and research centers as well as an up-and-coming dining scene.

Greater Toronto Area

Future Equity Financial (www.futureequity.ca) and our sister company www.investamericanow.com source quality investment opportunities and assist our clients through acquiring high cash-flow real estate. Currently we have 10 excellent units in Colubmus, tenanted, with management in place, all with a NET Return of 10-12%. Contact us for more information. We also have quality investments in other parts of the US, however our focus currently is to work with our Ohio Inventory and assist interested buyers in navigating through the purchase of these excellent homes.

Investing in USA Real Estate for Canadians can be a daunting task, however when you work with professionals such as InvestAmericaNow.com, you benefit from acquiring excellent properties, that are turn-key and ready to go! There is stiwll work involved but much of the guess work is removed, since we work diligently to ensure that all properties are in good condition with good tenants and offer a solid return.

Most people who invest in real estate expect to become rich overnight, but this isn’t the case. Becoming wealthy takes work.

All homes are 3 bedroom, 1 bathroom, and have been fully rehabbed. Financing is not available for these units. Typically Canadians would have to pay cash for these units. If you have equity in your home, you could always pull from your equity via a line of credit to acquire cash in the USA. For more details, call Beatrice at (416) 908 1734.

Executive professional accountants forecasting growth in employee numbers: CPA Canada Business Monitor

T

here is a sharp jump in the number of executive professional accountants anticipating a climb in employee numbers at their companies over the next 12 months, according to the latest CPA Canada Business Monitor (Q4 2013).

Some 44 per cent forecast a growth in employee numbers in the year ahead compared with 34 per cent the previous quarter, while 39 per cent of the respondents predict no change and 17 per cent expect a drop.

Despite the positive employment forecast, the majority of executive professional accountants (60 per cent) are neutral about the prospects for the Canadian economy over the next 12 months.

There are 34 per cent that are optimistic while just six per cent are pessimistic.

The state of the U.S. economy is viewed as the biggest challenge to the Canadian economy, referenced by 38 per cent of respondents.

Uncertainty surrounding the Canadian economy is the next closest at 14 per cent.

“The majority of executives surveyed are not prepared to give a thumbs up just yet for the Canadian economy, despite some very encouraging employment prospects,” says Kevin Dancey, FCPA, FCA, president and CEO, Chartered Professional Accountants of Canada (CPA Canada).“The survey findings reinforce the lingering uncertainty that exists.”

In terms of company optimism, 57 per cent are optimistic about how their company will perform over the next 12 months compared with 50 per cent the previous quarter. There also are positive projections for revenues and profits. Of respondents, 69 per cent expect their revenues to grow in the next year and 68 per cent are forecasting an increase in profits.

Impact of Personal Debt: Almost two-thirds (61 per cent) of the executive professional accountants surveyed believe the current level of personal debt among Canadians is hurting the economy. In addition, 53 per cent of those surveyed felt that Canadian personal debt levels are a threat to future demand for products or services at their company.

“High personal debt levels among Canadians are clearly a source of worry for many business leaders,” says Dancey.“CPA Canada has repeatedly encouraged Canadians to save more, spend less and reduce personal debt.”

Bank of Canada: About two-in-three respondents (65 per cent) believe that the Bank of Canada will likely leave its overnight rate unchanged for the duration of 2014. Virtually all other respondents predict the Bank will increase the overnight rate in the year ahead.

It also appears that executive professional accountants are growing increasingly comfortable with Stephen Poloz in his role as Bank of Canada governor. A strong majority (71 per cent) stated they were more comfortable while 29 per cent were less comfortable.

The CPA Canada Business Monitor is issued quarterly, based on a survey commissioned by CPA Canada. The report draws upon business insights of professional accountants in leadership positions in privately and publicly held companies.

For the Q4 2013 study, emailed surveys were completed by 192 of 4,319 identified

by CPA Canada as holding senior positions (CFOs, CEOs, COOs and other senior executive roles). The response rate was 4.4 per cent, with a margin of error associated with this type of study at ±7.1 per cent, with a confidence level of 95 per cent. The survey was conducted by Harris/Decima Inc. from December 5 to December 19, 2013. A background document is available online at www. cpacanada.ca/businessmonitor.

CPA Canada is the national organization established to support unification of the Canadian accounting profession under the Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA) designation. It was created by the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (CICA) and The Society of Management Accountants of Canada (CMA Canada) to provide services to all CPA, CA, CMA and CGA accounting bodies that have unified or are committed to unification. As part of the unification effort, CPA Canada and the Certified General Accountants Association of Canada (CGA-Canada) are working toward integrating their operations. Unification will enhance the influence, relevance and contribution of the Canadian accounting profession both at home and internationally. www.cpacanada.ca

Ontario business questioning outlook for 2014, according to new report • The Annual Ontario Business Confidence Index is the most comprehensive survey of business opinion in the province • Despite a boost in confidence over the last year, only 48 percent of businesses are confident in Ontario’s economy • 74 percent of businesses are confident in their own organization’s economic outlook

O

ntario businesses are more confident in the Ontario economy compared to this time last year, according to a new survey from the Ontario Chamber of Commerce and Leger Marketing.

The annual Ontario Business Confidence Index shows that despite this boost in confidence, more than half of businesses in Ontario remain uncertain about the province’s economy.

“Ontarians will likely be voting frequently over the next two years – federally, provincially, and municipally,” says Matthew Mendelsohn, Director of the Mowat Centre. “We hope that the next two years will be a time when Ontario politicians from all three levels of government will demonstrate a laser-like focus on economic issues and on the business climate.”

“There are actions that government and business can do to boost our economy and business confidence,” adds O’Dette. “But right now there is uncertainty in Ontario’s business climate, possibly as a result of potential changes to the pension system and rising energy costs.”

“There is still a significant gap between business’ confidence in their own outlook and their confidence in the economy,” adds Dave Scholz, Chief Marketing Officer and Partner at Leger Marketing.

“This may be an indication that businesses recognize that there are potential clouds ahead in the global economic outlook and the public policy environment.”

Among the survey’s findings are:

The index also shows that 74 percent of businesses are confident in their own organization’s outlook, a slight increase over the previous year.

“Ontario businesses are confident in themselves and in their capacity to invest in Ontario,” says Allan O’Dette, President and CEO of the Ontario Chamber of Commerce. “I think there’s cause to be cautiously optimistic--business confidence levels are on the uptick, but they’re not great.”

The survey of over 2,200 businesses is featured in the newly released report Emerging Stronger 2014, a business-driven economic agenda for Ontario authored by the Ontario Chamber of Commerce, the Mowat Centre and Leger Marketing. The report identifies the immediate steps that government and the private sector must take to enhance Ontario’s economic competitiveness and spur job creation in the province.

• 74 percent of businesses are confident in their organization’s economic outlook, up two percentage points from last year.

• 48 per cent of businesses are confident in the Ontario economy, up 4 percentage points from last year.

• 42 per cent believe Ontario’s economy is headed in the right direction, while 38 per cent believe it is not.

• Businesses in the financial services sector (74 per cent) are the most likely to expand over the next five years; only 51 per cent of manufacturers plan to expand over the same period.

• Some regions are much more confident than others: The Hamilton Niagara Peninsula region is the most confident in the province, while Windsor-Sarnia is the least confident.

Canadian investment advisors remain overwhelmingly bullish on stocks

C

anadian investment advisors expect stocks to continue their torrid pace in Q1 of 2014, but are bearish on every other asset class, according to the Q1 2014 Advisor Sentiment Survey (the “Q1 Survey”) conducted by Horizons ETFs Management (Canada) Inc. (“Horizons ETFs”).

“Emerging markets were an unloved asset class last year, with equity risk appetite increasing, it would stand to reason that investors may be growing more comfortable with emerging market equities,” Mr. Atkinson said.

Precious metals, did not receive the same vote of confidence. Only 32 per cent of advisors are bullish on gold bullion – only a percentage point lower than last quarter - despite the fact that gold bullion lost 9.28 per cent.

Similarly, silver bullion lost 10.27 per cent last quarter.

“Generally speaking, if advisors are going to be bullish on stocks, they’ll likely be bearish on gold bullion since the two asset classes have historically had strong inverse correlation,” said Mr. Atkinson.“With both gold and silver bullion struggling in 2013, many investors may be thinking they have bottomed in the near term which may explain why sentiment has held steady, even if it remains bearish.”

Bearish sentiment on the Canadian dollar rose dramatically from 41 per cent in our previous survey to 70 per cent in the Q1 Survey with seven out of 10 advisors surveyed believing that the Canadian dollar will decrease in value versus the U.S. dollar over the next quarter.

The Q1 Survey asked Canadian advisors to share their outlook on 15 distinct asset classes, indicating whether they were, at the time the “There has been a lot of media coverage of negative outlooks for the survey was conducted, bullish, bearish or neutral Canadian dollar, so this is not surprising, but still a 30 percentage point on the anticipated returns from these asset increase in bearish sentiment is quite substantial,” said Mr. Atkinson.“For classes in Q1 2014. Collectively, advisors were this reason, we’ve also seen a preference, as highlighted in ETF flows, for bullish on only six of the 15 asset classes surveyed, non-hedged U.S. equity – investors want to get direct exposure to the U.S. all of which were equity indices. dollar as the value of the Loonie falls.”

Nearly three quarters of Canadian advisors (74 per cent) are bullish on the S&P/TSX 60 Index, which saw bullish sentiment increase from 68 per cent in our previous survey. Canadian stocks generated a 6.94 per cent return last quarter. The same bullish sentiment, 74 per cent, was observed on the S&P 500 Index as well, after an approximately 10 per cent return in Q4 2013. Bullish sentiment on the NASDAQ-100 Index is at 75 per cent, after a Q4 2013 return of 11.62 per cent.

“We are seeing almost unprecedented levels of bullishness on large-cap stocks across the board,” said Howard Atkinson, president of Horizons ETFs.“Canadian stocks lagged U.S. stock returns over the last year, and investors may be expecting Canadian stocks to rally on a relative performance basis to close the gap on the U.S.” Bullish sentiment on the MSCI Emerging Markets Index rose a substantial 11 percentage points from 60 per cent to 71 per cent after this index generated a 1.54 per cent return last quarter.

Bullish sentiment on volatility increased slightly to 48 per cent in the Q1 Survey from 45 per cent in our previous survey after the S&P 500 VIX ShortTerm Futures Index lost nearly 27.50 per cent last quarter.

“Volatility historically rises during stock market declines. If investors are bullish on equities, they are generally bearish on volatility,” said Mr. Atkinson.“The rise in bullish sentiment on volatility may be indicative of an increasing number of investors feeling that volatility is probably near a bottom, so even if stocks rise, it may be a bumpier ride up than what we saw in 2013 where volatility remained at historic lows for most of the year.”

Bank of Canada maintains overnight rate target at 1 per cent

T

he Bank of Canada recently announced that it is maintaining its target for the overnight rate at one per cent.

The Bank Rate is correspondingly 1.25 per cent and the deposit rate is .75 per cent.

wReal GDP growth is projected to pick up from 1.8 per cent in 2013 to 2.5 per cent in both 2014 and 2015. This implies that the economy will return gradually to capacity over the next two years.

Although the fundamental drivers of growth and future inflation appear to be strengthening, inflation is expected to remain well below target for some time, and therefore the downside risks to inflation have grown in importance. At the same time, risks associated with elevated household imbalances have not materially changed. Weighing these considerations, the Bank judges that the balance of risks remains within the zone articulated in October, and therefore has decided to maintain the target for the overnight rate at 1 per cent. The timing and direction of the next change to the policy rate will depend on how new information influences this balance of risks.

Inflation in Canada has moved further below the two per cent target, owing largely to significant excess supply in the economy and heightened competition in the retail sector. The path for inflation is now expected to be lower than previously anticipated for most of the projection period. The Bank expects inflation to return to the two per cent target in about two years, as the effects of retail competition dissipate and excess capacity is absorbed.

Global growth is expected to strengthen over the next two years, rising from 2.9 per cent in 2013 to 3.4 per cent in 2014 and 3.7 per cent in 2015. The United States will lead this acceleration, aided by diminishing fiscal drag, accommodative monetary policy and stronger household balance sheets. The improving U.S. outlook is affecting global bond, equity, and currency markets.

Growth in other regions is evolving largely as projected in the Bank’s October Monetary Policy Report (MPR). Global trade growth plunged after 2011, but is poised to recover as global demand strengthens.

In Canada, growth improved in the second half of 2013. However, there have been few signs of the anticipated rebalancing towards exports and business investment. Stronger U.S. demand, as well as the recent depreciation of the Canadian dollar, should help to boost exports and, in turn, business confidence and investment.

Meanwhile, recent data has been consistent with the Bank’s expectation of a soft landing in the housing market and a stabilization of household indebtedness relative to income.

Frequently Asked questions - PrivAte lending 1. What types of mortgage investing are there at Pro Funds?

At Pro Funds Mortgages, we offer two different types of mortgage investment offerings.

i. Individual Lending is an investment opportunity where a single investor is looking for a 1st or 2nd mortgage. These mortgages are usually for residential or investment properties, duplexes, triplexes, or condominiums that are typically purchased as investment properties. The size of the mortgage amount requested is usually $25,000.00 and higher. This type of mortgage will not typically be administered (see below for definition). ii. Project Lending differs as these offerings are usually catered to investment, construction and development projects that are syndicated mortgages.

The size of the mortgage amount requested by the borrower is usually in excess of $500,000.00. These investments typically yield a higher return, but are project specific, and will be administered.

2. What is mortgage administration?

Administration is when a FSCO (Financial Services Commission of Ontario) approved company will register the mortgage in trust for the lender, or registered funds, and handles the receipt of all payments. Payments are sent to the lender by the administrator through an automatic deposit to the bank account of choice. Mortgage administration is mainly used for syndicated mortgages, however, if you as a lender would like an Individual mortgage administered, there will be an associated fee. The mortgage administrator for Pro Funds is Valour Mortgage Services Inc. in Trust.

3. What is a syndicated mortgage?

A syndicated mortgage is a mortgage investment made by two or more individuals. Syndicated mortgages are used in investment and development projects. Due to the size of the mortgage amount requested, multiple investors pooling funds together is a much more efficient way to facilitate and fund.

Each investor is registered on a charge through an administrator trust in proportion to their committed investment amount.

4. What are the benefits of a syndicated mortgage?

Syndicated mortgages are great if you are looking to diversify your portfolio as you can spread your funds over several projects to mitigate any potential risk. You will also be in a position to invest in the larger higher yielding projects and have a more passive type of investment based on the fact that syndicated mortgages are administered. Lenders are able to choose what investment amount they are comfortable with of the total mortgage being registered. Lenders are also eligible to invest with registered funds such as TSFA, RRSP, RESP, etc. Although some projects may have minimum investments, a benefit of syndicated mortgages is that you as a lender are able to use combination of cash and registered plans to fund one investment.

5. What is the minimum investment for mortgage investing?

Although there is no set minimum investment, the type of mortgage will determine how much we will be looking for. For individual lending, typical minimum investments start around $25,000.00; however there are cases where a lower investment will be acceptable. Cash as well as registered funds are eligible. For Project Lending, the typical minimum investment is $50,000.00 given that these mortgage requests are much larger in scope and the returns are a higher yield. There are also cases however, where we would accept lower investments. Please speak with us if you have inquiries regarding a specific project.

6. What are the typical ROI’s?

Anticipated returns for individual lending typically range from 7-14% annually, depending on if it is a first or second mortgage. Returns for project lending typically range from 10-16% annually.

7. How do I get started?

If you would like to get involved in mortgage lending then your first order of business is to establish how much you are comfortable using towards this type of investment vehicle. It is imperative to make sure the funds are liquid in either cash or your registered funds. If you commit to a mortgage, the individual or company borrowing these funds are relying on these funds for a specific closing date. It is also very important to make sure you are not using your life savings for these investments. You can contact Pro Funds Mortgages, and one of our investor relations specialists would be happy to meet with you or have a telephone discussion with you on specific inquiries. Once you have established an acceptable range you would be comfortable investing, you can contact Pro Funds for current opportunities or sign up to our Private Network. Through this network, contacts are sent exclusive e-mails on our latest investment offerings.

8. How does the rest of the Investment Process Work?

When you find an investment offering you are interested in, you can request further details and specifics on this investment. To proceed, you will then notify a member of the Pro Funds team of your commitment, and the paper work will be drafted. You the lender will receive the paper work and will need to sign the documents and provide identification. The documents will then be sent to the legal team representing you the lender and this specific mortgage. The lawyer will proceed with the closing. Please note that we do make our best efforts to close on the dates specified, however, the dates can be delayed based on the lawyers due diligence and timing. Also consider that if you decide to use registered funds, it will usually take an additional 2-3 weeks longer for the plan to release the funds as opposed to a cash investment. Once the funds are received and the mortgage is closed you will receive either postdated cheques on closing from the borrower, or if you are involved in a syndicated mortgage, the administrator will arrange for a pre authorized deposit to go into the bank account of your choice for your monthly payments.

9. Who pays the legal fees?

Business Investor

The borrower will pay for the legal fees to close the mortgage; if this is an individual mortgage the lawyer will be of your choice, however, their fees must be reasonable. If this is a syndicated/project mortgage, one lawyer will be chosen to represent the entire group of lenders. All fees with respect to the closing of the mortgage are the cost of the borrower. When the mortgage is discharged and paid back, the borrower will pay the discharge fee as well. If you are seeking a legal opinion on a mortgage investment, this is not the cost of the borrower.

10. Due diligence

Pro Funds will make our very best efforts to deliver all information provided by the borrower to the potential lenders. The protocol for an individual mortgage versus a project mortgage will differ. For an individual mortgage, the request is reviewed by a Pro Funds Mortgages originator. This entails an assessment of credit applications, confirmation of income (if available), and property details (appraisals, income and expenses, leases, insurance, taxes, photos, etc.). This information will be provided to the interested parties for review. If further information is requested by a lender, Pro Funds will make an effort to arrange for all the details requested. Pro Funds will be diligent in assessing each request, but ultimately you are the lender and you will need to make sure you are 100% comfortable with the mortgage investment before proceeding. The due diligence for syndicated project mortgages is based on the specific project and its viability, rather than personal credit and income. These mortgages are analyzed by very seasoned third party experts, appraisers, environmentalists, engineers, planners, developers, builders and lawyers. Pro Funds Mortgages has aligned ourselves with Valour Capital Group,a development company that offers administration services and Mortgage Investment Offerings (MIO’s).A MIO is one comprehensive package on a specific investment offering that consists of all of the third party reports and mortgage details. Once again, you are the lender and you must be 100% comfortable with the mortgage investment before proceeding.

11. How are my payments calculated?

Numbers are based on typical going rates and are subject to change. These are Annual Percentage Rates (APR).

Individual Mortgage Example: Mortgage investment=$50,000.00 Agreed interest rate of 12% interest only paid monthly for a 1 year term. $50, 0000.00 X 12%= $6000.00 $6000.00/12 months= $500.00 per month interest only payments.

At the end of the term the full principal of $50,000.00 is still owed. Typically a lender fee of 2% is due by the borrower to the lender on closing on these mortgages. $50,000.00 X 2%= $1,000.00 (fee paid to the lender) + 6,000.00 (total interest payments) = $7,000.00 Total Return (14% over 1 year) + payback of original principal ($50,000.00)

Project Mortgage Example:

Mortgage investment= $50,000.00.

Interest rate of 8% interest paid only monthly for a 24 month term.

Total return is 16% annually $50,000.00 X 8%= $4000.00 $4000.00/12 months= $333.33 per month interest only payments.

These mortgages do have a lender fee bonus paid at the end of the term. With a lender fee of 8%, when your mortgage is discharged (paid back) after the 2 year term, you will receive your principal and lender bonus.

8% lender fee X 2 years= 16% lender fee at the end of the term $50,000.00 X 16%= $8,000.00 + $4,000.00 (annual interest payments) X 2years= $8,000.00 =$16,000.00 Total Return (32% over 2 years) + payback of original principal ($50,000.00)

12. What are the risks?

Mortgage investments are not guaranteed by the government. There are no 100% guarantees that you will not lose your investment. The mortgage (your money) however, is registered on the property being pledged as security. This means that you have a registered charge on the real estate. The borrower cannot do anything with the asset without consent from the mortgagee. You are not lending to a company that is issuing shares, and you do not own the property, your funds are a mortgage investment that are secured on the real estate. This is beneficial because success of the borrower is NOT contigent on the success of your investment. If there is failure and the borrower goes bankrupt, you have the real estate to sell to realize on your investment. This is considered much more secure than lending to an Exempt Market Dealer (EMD).Finally, when you invest in mortgages it is very important to understand the value of the real estate and what your loan to value really is. This is your security. Location and property type is a very important factor.

Business Investor

If you have RRSP’S TFSA’S, or RESP’S and would like to use them in mortgage lending, you will have to have them in a trust company plan in order to commit to a mortgage investment. The process of transferring these funds may take 2-6 weeks. Pro Funds Mortgages has a relationship with Olympia Trust. They are one of the few left in the industry that will lend to mortgages. Pro Funds would be happy to provide contact information to Olympia Trust.

The Commercial Mortgage Some things to consider

I

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

By Jayson Schwarz and Konstantine Chatzidimos

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

Loan to Value Ratio As you can guess, commercial investment properties are viewed conservatively by lenders and require significantly more equity than may be required in the residential scenario.

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

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

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

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

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

The principal challenge in securing a commercial mortgage is meeting the requirements of the commercial lender at a given point in time.

Commercial mortgage applications are typically more involved than residential ones and are open to considerable subjective analysis on the part of lenders.

Collateral Security Prospective purchasers should also be aware of the possibility that other collateral security may be requested by the lender to secure the commercial mortgage. In many cases a personal guarantee will be required. The quantum of the guarantee will depend on lender’s assessment of the overall risk of the transaction. Purchaser guarantees of 50 per cent of the mortgage amount in such deals are common. In addition, lenders typically require property insurance be in place for a sum covering the full quantum of the mortgage.

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

Perhaps the most difficult part of writing these articles relates not to the actual writing, but thinking of a topic to address. Please mail, deliver or fax letters to the magazine or to us, use the web site (www.schwarzlaw.ca), email (kchatz@schwarzlaw.ca), or phone us at 888-609-8888 and give us your questions, concerns, critiques and quandaries.
