Canadian consumer spending up 3.61 per cent in Q2 The Moneris Spending Report: debit card growth continues to outpace credit card growth

M

oneris Solutions Corporation (“Moneris”), Canada’s largest credit and debit card processor,

announced recently that Canadian consumer spending jumped 3.61 per cent in the second quarter, compared to the same period last year - with increases of 3.53 per cent in April, 4.38 per cent in May and 3.17 per cent in June. Similar to Q1, year-overyear debit card spending (4.06 per cent) continued to outpace credit card spending (3.41 per cent). This may indicate that concerns over reported rising household debt levels continue to be top of mind for Canadians in their purchasing decisions. The restaurant category led the growth in spending in Q2, with a 4.17 per cent year-over-year increase, followed by retail and entertainment, at 3.98 per cent and 2.42 per cent, respectively. While the Moneris Spending Report suggests that Canadians’ appetite for fast food continued to drive the spending growth within the restaurant category – with an increase in dollars spent of 10.19 per cent, compared to the same period in 2012 – fast-food spending volumes fell throughout the second quarter (11.53 per cent in April, 8.07 per cent in May and 7.25 per cent in June). Book stores experienced the highest level of growth within the retail category (16.88 per cent), compared to Q2 2012, followed by bicycle shops (8.84 per cent) and pet stores (8.02 per cent). In fact, bicycle shop sales saw steady increases in dollars spent throughout the quarter, at 5.32 per cent in April, 10.58 per cent in May and 7.81 per cent in June, compared to the same period last year.

Grocery spending, on the other hand, fell by -1.07 per cent in Q2, compared to the same period in 2012. For the second straight quarter, apparel category sales continued to lag in Q2, compared to the same period last year, with a modest increase in spending of 0.46 per cent. Despite this overall trend, Q2 sports apparel spending grew 7.45 per cent. Nationally, New Brunswick replaced Alberta as Canada’s highest-spending province in Q2, with a growth of 6.61 per cent in consumer spending, compared to Q2 2012. While Alberta saw its Q2 2013 spending grow in April (6.32 per cent) and May (7.46 per cent), its consumer spending dropped significantly in June (3.90 per cent), likely a result of devastating floods that recently affected the province. Overall, however, Alberta placed second in Canada in terms of overall spending in Q2 2013, with a 6.10 per cent spending increase, compared to the same period last year. Conversely, PEI (3.80 per cent), Nova Scotia (2.29 per cent), British Columbia (1.99 per cent) and Quebec (0.27 per cent) experienced the lowest levels of growth in Q2, compared to the same period in 2012. However, despite modest growth in April (2.24 per cent) and May (0.41 per cent), PEI saw its consumer spending jump significantly in June (11.07 per cent), likely due to the island’s busy summer tourism season. Ontario was situated in the middle of the pack in terms of overall spending, with an increase of 4.19 per cent, compared to the same period last year. “Despite a slight dip in June, Canada’s consumer spending continued to experience steady growth in the second quarter,” said Jeff Guthrie, chief sales and marketing officer, Moneris Solutions Corporation.“Given the consistent pattern of spending increases over the first two quarters of 2013, we anticipate this positive trend will continue into Q3 and the holiday season.”

The Moneris Spending Report provides a snapshot of consumer spending activity in Canada by analyzing credit and debit card transaction data. As the market leader with the largest merchant base, Moneris presents detailed analysis and insight on a quarterly basis. The percentages cited are derived from actual sales volumes - the dollar values of credit and debit card transactions being processed by merchants.

KAWARTHAS REGION

This is an outstanding campground composed of both year round and seasonal units. There is not a paint blister on a building or a blade of grass uncut in this meticulously maintained park. It has approximately 1500+ feet of frontage on the river, 70 acres of land with large portion of the property being bush. All sites have metered hydro, water and septic system hookup as well as an enclosed swimming pool, recreation hall and washroom and shower facilities. The majority of the campers spend their summers here and their winters in Florida with very few families in the park. If you are looking for a park with little to do but cut grass and enjoy the lifestyle then this is the one for you!

MUSKOKA FAMILY CAMPGROUND

This park is located less than 2 hours north of the GTA on 90 acres of beautifully treed property and on a high traffic highway. Currently it has 250 sites and can be expanded by another 125. There is a large swimming pool, rec. hall, newer house for the owner or manager to live in, a store and reception area and several rental cabins. Most of the sites are rented to seasonal campers with a few retained for USE by overnighters. All water, hydro and septic systems are in excellent condition and this park is a money maker with very strong upside potential.

SOUTHWESTERN ONTARIO Formerly a ski club, this park sits on 40 acres of gently rolling, nicely treed land with a couple of the old ski runs still in place. There is a very large rec hall with 2 woodburning fireplaces, dance area and a fully equipped kitchen. There are 77 sites, swimming pool and a 12 yr. old home for the owner. Many of the sites are rented yearly to snowbirds. There is room to expand with approvals from the municipality. New septic system 2012 with all approvals and water system meets current legislation. A nice easy to run park with potential.

TRAILER PARKS MAKE GREAT INVESTMENTS WITH STRONG CASH FLOW! Open only 6 months a year they afford owners plenty of time off in the winter. Please say you saw it in The Commercial Investor

WHERE TO INVEST? REAL ESTATE OR STOCKS? By Dino Nicosia, Broker Of Record,

Investpro Realty and Appraisal Ltd.

Hamilton

In recent months, there’s been a lot of debate as to whether to invest in Stocks or buy Real Estate as a safe hedge against inflation and to build wealth. Given the current predictions of a drop in property prices, and the unpredictable Stock market, I still maintain Real Estate will continue to be the better choice. To prove that Real Estate will still be a smart investment decision, let’s examine the potential of both. We have all heard of the many riches that both Real Estate ownership and the Stock market can bring, but unfortunately we also have heard of the horror stories from both types of investments that had gone terribly bad. As you are probably aware, the stock market can fluctuate dramatically and you have little control on what happens to your investment. You pray and hope that your stocks do not plummet because of bad news migrating from some foreign country, or another Ponzi scheme creating havoc in the market. Make no mistake, we have witnessed overnight swings that had made people rich in the Stock market; however we have also seen in other cases sending investors to bankruptcy. We know that Real Estate owners are not shielded from such peaks and valleys, exemplified by the boom of the late 1980’s and the subsequent recession in the early 1990’s. However, it is important to note that the swings in Real Estate are more predictable and not as severe. More importantly you have more control on the investment. In addition, Real Estate investment is unique from the Stock market because real wealth is achieved by using leverage. As an example, with leverage an investor could buy a real estate asset worth $1,000,000.00 with as little as a $100,000.00 investment. You cannot use this leverage with stocks. With stocks you are basically buying dollar for dollar. One of the greatest benefits to Real Estate investing is that it’s probably one of the more accessible ways to invest using borrowed money. So often I hear people say they don’t like borrowing because they believe that being in debt depletes their personal net worth. This is true; consumer debt-loans to pay for a car, a vacation, or other non-investing debt, will be a burden on a person’s potential net worth. However it’s not in the same category as an asset-backed debt. Asset-backed debt-loans secured by a potentially appreciating asset, such as real property, can be a great way to use leverage to increase a person’s net worth. Also keep in mind the cost of interest on the loan used to invest, is tax deductible. In my view, borrowing to buy Real Estate makes for a good, long term investment strategy. A great example of that benefit is that a house in Burlington

Ontario (30 minutes West of Toronto) in 1980 sold for $100,000.00. Today that same home is worth over $600,000.00. That is tax a free gain as a residential home, or a capital gain as an investment property. History shows that buying an investment type of Real Estate will over time build wealth. An experienced investor is able to buy on short term and by flipping properties will earn good profits as well. However that is a high-risk strategy. What I am promoting is a longer-term investment plan. Great wealth is generally achieved by long term holdings and allowing the equity to grow. When buying Real Estate, the best way investors can avoid risk is to focus on cash-flow positive properties. That means the rental income covers all your expenses, including the mortgage, taxes, insurance, maintenance, repairs and a contingency fund; and have extra cash at the end of the month. That way your property will be making money for you whether real estate prices go up or down-so hopefully, you’ll never be forced to sell in a down market. The following are some of the many advantages in a long-term real estate investment plan which will build your retirement nest egg. • Building Net Worth over time from capital appreciation

a) Are you prepared and do you have the energy, to devote as much time as necessary to looking after your investment? Unlike Stocks, you have to be more involved on daily basis. b) Do you have enough retirement savings and investments to retire comfortably without such real estate investments? c) Are you going to be able to send your children to university, with your present income and net worth? d) Since real estate is not liquid, is liquidity a concern for you? Stocks or Real Estate? I say “Can you afford not to buy Real Estate?”

businessbarometer

Small business confidence down sharply in June Ted Mallett, Vice-President & Chief Economist

O

ptimism among owners of Canada’s small and mid-sized businesses tumbled in June. CFIB’s Business Barometer Index fell almost three points from May’s reading to land heavily at 59.4 this month. It is the fourth consecutive monthly decline and the first time the index has been below the 60 mark since July 2009. 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.

Weak demand appears to be driving the sentiment. Only 73 per cent of respondents report new orders to be at or better than normal, while 40 per cent say domestic demand is a limitation on business expansion – both out of tune with recent years’ results. Not surprisingly, more businesses in the past few months are also noting taxation as a major cost concern. Although these results suggest weakness, there are signs that we are nearing a floor rather than breaking though and trending further downward. Short-term employment plans are still net positive, while the general state of reported business health is holding at recent historical norms (40 per cent say ‘good’ versus 12 per cent who say ‘bad’). Overall, the latest drop in optimism is almost entirely centred in Ontario and Quebec, where index levels have hit the mid 50s. Very little change was noted in the still underperforming Maritimes, nor in the above-average West. The consruction, resources and hospitality sectors are weakest, while the information, financial and social services sectors are the most upbeat.

Commercial Real Estate & Business Opportunities

Hamilton – the top investment town in Ontario

By Mark Loeffler

F

or many smart and experienced real estate investors, Hamilton, Ontario

is one of the favourite target markets in the entire province – more so than Toronto, Ottawa or other cities. In fact, many rank it as the undisputed number one. The Real Estate Investment Network (REIN), a national network of about 3,000 investors, says Hamilton is the top investment choice in the province through to 2018. REIN loves this market, once known only as a hardworking steel town, for its years of record breaking building permit values and exponential population growth. A forward-thinking local government and economic development team are helping to produce skyrocketing growth and investment potential. Located just an hour from two US border crossings, links to major highways with access to local, national, and international markets, owner of the busiest port out of all the Great Lakes, and access to international rail lines and the Lester B. Pearson International Airport, Hamilton continues to be a prime location to do business, REIN says. In addition, lower housing prices and a short driving distance to Toronto contribute to its appeal. Affordability, in fact, is one of the main drivers of housing demand in Hamilton. Compared to Toronto, the average price of a home in Hamilton is about $140,000 less. Housing demand there is expected to remain stable through 2013, as improving economic conditions and higher net migration support housing demand in the area, according to Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. (CMHC).

Average home prices in Hamilton are on the rise, but still very reasonable compared to Toronto – $375,381 in February 2013, up 5.2 per cent from $356,980 in February 2012, according to the Canadian Real Estate Association. Toronto prices for the same period climbed 1.6 per cent to $510,580 from $502,508. Gradual improvement in job and income growth during the latter part of 2013, combined with modest price increases, should support Hamilton resale activity through the second half of this year, according to CMHC. Combine these characteristics with improving transit infrastructure, facilitating easier commuting to Toronto and other neighbouring locations, and an increasingly diverse economy, and you begin to see the reasons Hamilton is a favourite among investors and primary homebuyers alike. Investors with rental properties – the typical REIN member – like Hamilton for its strong rental market. In fall 2012, CMHC forecast the vacancy rate would decrease to 3.0 per cent for 2013, as improvement in the labour market will encourage some potential renters, particularly those aged 15 to 24, to form a separate household and lead to higher demand for rental accommodation. Meanwhile, many first-time buyers will likely continue to delay their home purchase until late in the year as homeownership affordability improves some, CMHC says. Improving local economic conditions are expected to attract more immigrants into the area, and subsequently exert downward pressure on vacancy rates in Hamilton. By April 2013, the vacancy rate for a two-bedroom apartment, for example, had increased slightly to 3.1 per cent from 2.8 in April 2012 – but still well within what is considered balanced market conditions. Rent for the same property type, meanwhile, increased to $922 from $876 over the period. For investors who are fortunate enough to own rental properties in Hamilton, this means their properties are in demand, to the extent they can raise rents and therefore contribute to a healthier bottom line. Longer term, the prognosis for solid economic fundamentals continues to look positive. For those looking to sell their rental units in the city, as the economy improves later in 2013, when interest rates are still expected to remain low, prospective buyers could be in a better position to take action.

The differences between employees and independent contractors

By Jayson Schwarz LL.M.*

T

he alarm clock fails to ring, and you wake, head straight for the door. You make it into to work just before nine o’clock, gasping. Why the rush? Was it a fear of being fired or a fear of losing business? In today’s marketplace we have bosses and employees, and then there are “consultants” or “independent contractors” (“IC”), who are contracted by businesses, though not in an employment capacity. These ICs are self-contained, independent businesses, which, on any given day, could be easily confused with the employee occupying the office next door. How does one know if someone is an employee or a consultant, and why does it matter? The Supreme Court of Canada said we need to consider the following factors: 1) level of control the direct supervisor has over the worker’s activities; 2) whether the worker provides his or her own equipment; 3) whether the worker hires his or her own helpers; 4) the degree of financial risk taken by the worker; 5) the degree of responsibility for investment and management held by the worker; and 6) the worker’s opportunity for profit in the performance of his or her tasks;

16G COM

The existence of these factors is a question of fact and will depend heavily on the circumstances of each case. The Court made this effort in order to help clarify this distinction as the difference between an IC and employee has a significant practical effect on the employer’s obligations and the worker’s rights. Remember you are a contractor when you hire an IC and an employer when you hire an employee. An employer has many legal obligations when it comes to employees: source deductions that may include without limitation: Income Tax, Canada Pension Plan, Ontario Employer Health tax and Employment Insurance. If the Canada Revenue Agency discovers that these deductions have not been collected and remitted, or makes a determination that an IC is in fact an employee, the contractor now employer could face penalties and even interest charges on those amounts. In fact a contractor deemed to be an employer might end up paying an IC without deduction and then after an assessment having to remit the tax. A contractor hiring a true IC is not responsible for making these deductions. Furthermore, a contractor is not required by law to provide a true IC with vacation pay, overtime, severance or benefits, unless those items are specified in the contract negotiated by the IC. In certain industries an employer is also required to remit premiums under the Workplace Safety and Insurance Act, which is not required by a contractor when dealing with a true IC. The obligations owed to an employer also vary in that employees owe obligations of confidentiality, good faith and loyalty to their employer; whereas, unless the contract states otherwise, ICs owe only an obligation of good faith to the contractor. This is reflected in the obligations owed to an IC, which are few. An IC can expect fewer benefits, if any, as compared with an employee. Furthermore, employees are guaranteed minimum employment standards by statute. In the current marketplace which is characterized by uncertainty and unpredictable employment trends, it is difficult to gauge which choice would be best for someone with an opportunity to pursue an IC or employment route. A lawyer can help advise you on the best course of action given your financial circumstances, skill sets and the demand for your type of skill or expertise, and your potential rights and obligations under the law. Remember this is a critical question and failing to make the right decision could result in significant costs if there is an adverse finding in a Government audit. If you have a topic in mind, mail, deliver or fax letters to the magazine or to the firm, use the web site (www.schwarzlaw.ca), email (info@schwarzlaw.ca) and give us your questions, concerns, critiques and quandaries.

is getting big thumbs down from small businesses, according to a survey of 1,300 business owners conducted by the Canadian Federation of Independent

Big city spenders

– CFIB report demands an urgent conversation among local government leaders on overspending

unicipal leaders from across the country gathered in Vancouver at the end of May for the annual Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) conference. The Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) called on them to take action on municipal overspending. CFIB released a report showing that spending has grown more than three times the rate of population over the past 12 years in Canada’s three largest cities – Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver – and in Canadian municipalities overall. “Most of us can appreciate that the cost of running our cities

must keep pace with population growth, and factor in the cost of inflation,”says CFIB Executive Vice President Laura Jones. “But our research shows spending is increasing by as much as three to eight times the rate of population growth in Canada’s largest cities. Municipal officials claim they lack sufficient revenue, and argue that cities need even more revenue and increased taxing authority. Our report shows the real problem is overspending.” This spending problem is not just confined to Canada’s largest cities. From 2000 to 2011, inflation-adjusted spending grew by 55 per cent in all Canadian municipalities while population only grew by 12 per cent. The increases in spending are largely driven by public sector wages and benefits which consume between 52 to 67 per cent of local government operating spending in the three big cities. “It’s time that we changed the conversation to move away from the persistent requests for new tax revenues from our local governments to one that addresses spending challenges – responsible policy-making depends on it,” suggests Laura Jones.“CFIB hopes this report is a catalyst to start this critical conversation.”

MADY Development Corporation selected to build long-awaited BURLINGTON WATERFRONT Mixed-Use Development Mayrose-Tycon Group taps MADY’s mixed-use expertise to construct landmark condo-hotel-retail project

A

fter years of planning, Burlington’s Bridgewater waterfront site is about to undergo a stunning mixed-use transformation.

Mayrose-Tycon Group Principal Matt Jaecklein recently introduced MADY Development Corporation as the development and execution firm on the new Burlington project. The ambitious development at the prime Bridgewater site – the downtown waterfront location owned by MayroseTycon for more than two decades – is predicted to inject new life into Burlington’s waterfront across a range of residential and commercial uses. Upon its completion, the 1.68 acre, 340,000 square-foot mixed-use development will consist of an eight-storey, 152 unit top brand four-star hotel, 170 luxury condominium units across two towers – expected to sell between $500,000 and $3 million, and all featuring stunning lake views – as well as ground-level commercial retail space. It will also include three levels of underground parking. To appeal to residents in search of the ultimate in waterfront living, the project features a central public square with direct access to the Waterfront Trail and Lake Ontario. “The timing behind our decision to move ahead with this project is rooted in a strong belief in the City of Burlington’s long-term waterfront redevelopment plans, the strength of the local economy, as well as the need for new residential and commercial property and a four-star hotel on this unique parcel of prime land fronting a gorgeous stretch of Lake Ontario shoreline, just steps from Burlington’s downtown core,” Jaecklein

said of the location near Burlington’s Joseph Brant Hospital – which is currently undergoing a major expansion – and within easy reach of several major highways. “We chose MADY Development Corporation to build this landmark project based on their long-standing success in mixed-use property development, and their outstanding service record and reputation for on-time, on-budget project delivery.” The development – a critical part of Burlington’s plans to redevelop and revitalize its waterfront – is expected to deliver $250 million in total financial benefits to the local community over 20 years, including 600 man-years of work and 200 fulltime jobs. Approximately 300 new residents will occupy the two residential towers. Jaecklein was joined at the event by MADY’s CEO Charles Mady and Senior Vice President/Chief Financial Officer Greg Puklicz. They outlined the unique architectural and lifestyle opportunities offered by the property’s prime lakeside location and their assessment of the project’s importance to the city’s future.

“This project offers unimpeded views of Lake Ontario, direct water frontage access, and is within steps of the quaint shops of downtown Burlington. With a premium brand four-star hotel on board, I expect this development to become Burlington’s crown jewel,” Mady said of the project, designed by renowned Toronto-based architects Page + Steele/IBI Group. “This is a wonderful opportunity for anyone who has dreamed of living on a prime stretch of Burlington waterfront, all in a complex offering splendidlydesigned amenities and finishes by Gluckstein Design.” “I am very pleased to see this long awaited project for our downtown come on stream. This project is another step to enhancing the redevelopment of our downtown,” said Burlington Mayor Rick Goldring. “The project’s design will ensure open space, access to our waterfront, and provide residents and visitors with a great experience.” LCL Builds – which was involved in the development of Toronto’s Trump Tower – will contribute to the construction of the Burlington project.

Canadian dollar to hold near current levels for rest of 2013 and return to parity in late 2014: CIBC Loonie to benefit from better U.S. and global growth next year

T

he Canadian dollar will not suffer the fate of the Australia currency and will hold near current levels through 2013

while seeing a rebound to parity by

the end of next year, finds a new report from CIBC World Markets Inc.

“Analogies to the Australian dollar’s steeper setback are overdone, as the currencies are more like distant cousins than twins in terms of the economic fundamentals. While both are in the so-called “dollar bloc” (an empty phrase in our view based only on the name of the currency), and both countries are developed, commodity exporting nations with historical ties to the UK, on other key fundamentals, the gaps are as wide as their geographic separation.” In the report, Mr. Shenfeld and CIBC Economist Andrew Grantham write that it’s been many years since the two countries were in the same phases of the business cycle. They note that while Canada faired better than most industrial nations, it still experienced a serious recession

“As we expected, the Canadian dollar has been a casualty of disappointing global growth this year, moving even earlier than we forecast to our target of five cents weaker than parity,” says Avery Shenfeld, Chief Economist at CIBC.“But that now has some momentum-style forecasters piling on even more damage ahead. Instead, while normal volatility will no doubt see days with the Canadian dollar a cent or two weaker than today’s levels, we view the bout of Canadian dollar softness this year as an opportunity to buy it ahead of a likely appreciation in 2014.”

in 2008/9 – something Australia managed to escape. As a result, the central banks in the two countries have been on very different courses. When Canada’s interest rates were pushed to record lows, Australian rates were rising to combat inflationary pressures. So while both currencies were hit this year by the implications of soft global growth on commodity prices, Australia was further hit by the decision by its central bank to cut interest rates in response to weaker Australian growth. That’s a story that’s not in the cards for Canada given the much lower starting point for central bank rates,

Unlike a number of forecasters, Mr. Shenfeld does not believe the loonie will suffer the same drop as the Australian dollar.“The deeper dive suffered by the Australian dollar, from US$1.06 in mid-January to 0.91 today, is oft cited as foretelling the Canadian currency’s fate, as the two are seen as twins by many traders.

and the Bank of Canada’s reluctance to add fuel again to household borrowing. But they also point out that the export focus of Canada is much more varied than that of Australia. Australia’s top six exports are all commodities and resources account for

around three-quarters of all outbound shipments. Iron ore and coal are the countries leading exports. In Canada, resources still make up less than half of exports, with manufactured products still hanging on to a major role. The country’s top exports are oil, vehicles/parts and machinery.

Look for the Canadian dollar to stabilize near current levels in the last half of this year, a buying opportunity ahead of a trade-driven appreciation back to parity in 2014.” The complete CIBC World Markets report is available at: http://research.cibcwm.com/economic_public/download/ eijul13.pdf.

“While resource prices are correlated given their link to the global business cycle, price trends do diverge,” notes Mr. Shenfeld.“Disappointing growth in China, and a shift in its mix towards less resource-using sectors like services, will continue to play much more negatively for Australia’s export prices and related

capital spending. “China accounts for a whopping two-thirds of global iron ore imports – Australia’s key export. In contrast, China’s import share in oil, Canada’s export heavyweight, remains much smaller. The result of Australia’s greater commodities reliance, and specifically to goods tied to Chinese demand, is that China’s boom and slowdown have led to a much higher spike and deeper tumble for Aussie export prices.” The report notes that while Canada’s oil reliance brings its own vulnerabilities, the CIBC economists expect crude oil to average $98 per barrel next year, helped by improving global growth, even if Mideast politics settle down a bit.“One would have to be a huge bear on prices for oil and Canadian manufactured goods to have Canada face as much damage to its terms of trade as that suffered by Australia since mid-2012,” adds Mr. Shenfeld.“The only equivalent for Canada in recent decades was in fact the Great Recession, which included a dive in oil prices to less than $40 per barrel.” The CIBC economists believe Canada faces a potentially more favourable external environment in the coming year, given its greater tie to the U.S. With a lower drag from fiscal policy and further improvement in homebuilding, they think the U.S. economy could see a noticeable acceleration next year and forecast growth of 3.3 per cent vs 1.8 per cent in 2013. In contrast, they expect only a moderate acceleration in China – Australia’s key export driver. “The Canadian dollar should be a beneficiary of better U.S. and global growth next year,” says Mr. Shenfeld. “Talk of an imminent tapering of QE by the Fed appears overdone, and the tap will not be completely turned off until the U.S. economy is strong enough.

The “Street Smart Real Estate Appraiser” –

A Plan

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

Niagara Peninsula

When I want to purchase a property I first have to develop “A Plan”. The Plan needs to include a series of questions: why do I need this property, what are my choices (lease or purchase), could I build it new, how do I finance it, what do I think about the economy and the political climate, what is my exit strategy, do I need more money after I purchase for renovations, etc. The answer to these questions will help develop the overall Plan and aid in the purchase of the property. These are some of the questions a real estate appraiser should ask himself when appraising a property for a client. Ultimately does the Plan make logical sense?

ollowing the Prime Minister’s announcement of changes to the federal Ministry, President of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM), Claude Dauphin, responded: “On behalf of Canada’s municipalities, I would like to extend my congratulations to Prime Minister Stephen Harper on today’s appointments, and to all new and returning ministers. I also want to congratulate the honourable Denis Lebel on his continuation in the portfolio as Minister of Infrastructure and Communities, as well the honourable Lisa Raitt on her new appointment as Minister of Transport. The Prime Minister’s decision to separate the transport and infrastructure functions in his Cabinet is a recognition of the key role the Government of Canada’s infrastructure investments play in its economic strategy. This will enable Minister Lebel to continue to work with FCM and other stakeholders on the implementation of the new federal infrastructure plan, while allowing Minister Raitt to focus on key transport issues, including safety.

Municipal leaders are looking forward to collaborating with the new Cabinet on other issues affecting our communities, including the design of new federal housing programs; protecting public safety and preparing for emergencies; building more sustainable communities and protecting our environment; and the municipal role in Canada’s work overseas. We extend our congratulations the Ministers who are taking on those issues as part of their portfolios, including: The Honourable Jason Kenney, Minister of Employment and Social Development The Honourable Steven Blaney, Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness The Honourable Leona Aglukkaq, Minister of the Environment The Honourable Christian Paradis, Minister of International Cooperation The Honourable Kellie Leitch, Minister of Labour and Minister of Status of Women The Honourable Bernard Valcourt, Minister of Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development

What is the best real estate investment direction for a Real Estate investor? What should I buy? Several single family, duplexes, triplexes, and/or up to 5 units? Or should I take the direction of (commercial) 6 units plus?

Q

: What are the Banks’ criteria for residential single family up to 5 units?

A: Lending criteria has drastically changed in the past year. We are no longer able to achieve high ratio loans above 80% on these types of loans and properties. It has become very challenging to acquire financing in this arena of investing. Income is a major factor. You must be in a position to confirm your income. This makes it much more challenging when you are self employed or a contract worker. Credit scores are also critical. If this is a direction you wish to choose, please confirm that your income is verifiable and that your credit scores are above 650. A lender will also take into consideration all of the other properties owned in this real estate class (residential). Only 50% of the rental income will be considered on the subject property and 100% of the debt (along with any other currently owned) when assessing your qualification. The majority of the lenders do have a minimum loan amount of $80k. Please take note if the circumstance is different there may be a way to qualify; the above statement is based on general lending criteria.

Q

: What are the Banks’ criteria for commercial lending on multiresidential 6 units plus?

A: It is unbelievably easier to obtain a commercial mortgage (meaning 6 units plus) at a higher loan to value. CMHC will allow for up to 85% financing. Yes, CMHC can be a bit challenging to work with as their due diligence is time consuming and thorough. However, it is within reach whether you are self employed or salaried. Your personal income will be secondary as the primary income source for debt service is the rental income on the property. Other real estate assets are a positive attribute and work towards building greater overall net worth. Good credit is a must; lenders will not entertain a poor credit scenario. If you are considering a multi-residential property, please confirm that the debt coverage ratio is above 1.2 (see below for formula*). Please also note that location is a major determining factor in the approval process. 75% Loan-to-Value (LTV) conventional financing is also available with a possible vendor take back if the numbers on the property will support it. This is far less in cumbersome. *Debt Coverage Ratio = Annual Net Income/Annual Mortgage Payment

Q

: What benefit do I have when purchasing multi-residential (6 units+) versus residential (1-5 units)?

A: This depends on each investor’s objectives in investing in real estate and their exit strategy. However, multi-residential from my own experience does come with many benefits. The first would be in the ability to acquire and obtain a mortgage as described above. Second, management is the key to a successful asset, with having multiple units under one roof; it makes this appealing to larger management companies. You must have a solid, trustworthy and reputable company managing your assets. Third, it is much easier to sell off a cash flowing multi-residential property for liquidity purposes. There are economies of scale having many units under one roof. For example, if there are any vacancies, the impact is offset by the revenue from other units and may be handled without costing from your own pocket.

Q

: What direction do I take in real estate investing?

A: This is really a personal perspective and can only really be determined by a personal evaluation from an experienced financier bearing in mind an understanding of one’s ultimate objectives. If you have income that can support the purchase of multiple single-family properties, there are great options for you (i.e. Rent to Own and other strategies). This also may be a great starting point for one to get their feet wet with a smaller investment. If you have some funds that are accessible and your credit score is good, then multi-residential would be a good direction for those interested in a long term investment, a rehabilitation project and/or a possible retirement nest egg.

Q

: Is it wise to find investment partners when getting involved in real estate investment?

A: Based on experience, yes it could be a great strategy allowing you to acquire additional properties. It allows for the ability to arrange additional mortgages and divides the debt and risk amongst multiple investors rather than just yourself. I would however confirm that the parties involved are like minded, have the resources and have the same exit strategy in mind. Proper legal agreements are really necessary regardless (even if it is a close relationship in order to avoid any future misunderstandings or changes in circumstance).
