LegaL Leaders

see court from the other side

A

recent event gave leaders in the legal community a chance to see what it’s like for people who have to solve their own legal problems in court. Robert Lapper, lawyer and chief executive officer at The Law Society of Upper Canada, was one of those leaders.

“It was an eye-opening experience to see first-hand the challenges faced by nonlegal professionals as they navigate the justice system,” says Lapper. The event, which was organized by the National Self-Represented Litigants Project, gave legal leaders an

opportunity to shadow self-represented litigants as they managed their legal problem at a Toronto courthouse. The number of people representing themselves in court has increased dramatically in recent years, according to the project’s report. “I was very aware of the increasing number of self-represented litigants and the many challenges they face. Participating in this event made it all that much more tangible,” says Lapper.“It drove home for me the importance of the Law Society’s new focus on access to justice, which includes working with the courts and other key players from the legal community to help people who cannot afford to hire a lawyer or paralegal.” The event included a tour of court-based services, such as Law Help Ontario provided by Pro Bono Law Ontario and Family Law Information Centres, provided by the Ministry of the Attorney General. “While there are still many gaps in terms of making the system work for selfrepresented litigants, I was impressed by the number of services that do exist,” says Lapper.“Part of the challenge is making sure people know about these services. The Law Society has recently published a guide – available on our website at lsuc. on.ca — that can help. It’s called Handling Everyday Legal Problems. It provides brief descriptions and contact information for reliable legal information sources and free and low-cost legal service providers in Ontario. The Law Society of Upper Canada is the regulator of lawyers and paralegals in Ontario. Robert Lapper joined the organization as its CEO in February 2012. NC

GTA commercial REALTORS report latest commercial market figures

T

oronto Real Estate Board Commercial Network Members reported 639,878 square feet of combined industrial, commercial/retail and office space leased through the TorontoMLS system in May 2014, on a per square foot net basis where pricing was disclosed. This result was up from 436,433 square feet leased in May 2013 and represented a 47 per cent increase on a year-over-year basis, which was driven by all major market segments. The industrial leasing market segment accounted for approximately 72 per cent of space leased. The average lease rate for these transactions was up by 1.5 per cent to $5.30 per square foot net. The commercial/retail and office segments experienced stronger average rates of growth, but a lot of this growth was compositional in nature, including a different mix of unit sizes and geography of transactions compared to May 2013.

“Despite slower than expected economic growth to start 2014, we experienced a considerable uptick in the amount of space leased. The consensus view is that the slow first quarter GDP growth in Canada and south of the border was mainly due

to extreme weather. The expectation is for an acceleration in US economic growth moving forward, which should have a positive effect on the Canadian economy, particularly where exports are concerned. Many GTA businesses arguably subscribe to this view and were taking on space in May in anticipation of stronger demand for their goods and services,” said Commercial Committee Chair Cynthia Lai. There were 50 combined industrial, commercial/retail and office property sales reported in May 2014 – down by approximately 30 per cent in comparison to May 2013. The average selling price per square foot, for transactions where pricing was disclosed, was up on a year-over-year basis for the industrial and commercial/retail segments of the market and down for the office segment. The key reason for the strong increases in the average industrial and commercial/retail selling prices was the lack of deals for larger sized properties this year. Generally speaking, larger properties sell for less on a per square foot basis compared to smaller properties. “Looking forward, low borrowing costs coupled with the anticipated increase in the demand for Canadian exports should fuel commercial real estate purchases in the GTA. It will be important to watch second quarter economic data, especially as it relates to business confidence and willingness to invest in the second half of 2014,”continued Ms. Lai.

Technology is a job creaTor, noT desTroyer: ey survey 51 per cent of entrepreneurs say investments in technology have changed their workforce technology have changed their workforce companies. Our survey finds technology is helping these companies increase their cost competitiveness and efficiency, which in turn allows them to invest in their businesses and expand their workforces.” EY’s Global job creation survey also finds entrepreneurs are increasingly global in their outlook and are exploiting the opportunities that technology brings them to tap the global talent pool and address skills shortages in their home market. “Technology and mobile working is opening up a greater and more skilled pool of workers for entrepreneurial companies,”says McMorrow.“Companies are no longer constrained by having to hire from the obvious pools of talent, as technology enables employees to do their jobs from anywhere, inside or outside the physical walls of the organization.” The survey finds companies in the technology sector are leading the way when it comes to employment growth – they created jobs in 2013 at a higher median pace, compared to job growth among all entries in all sectors. “In Canada, tech companies achieved a 36 per cent job growth rate, while sectors overall clocked in at 25 per cent,” says McMorrow. Other highlights from the survey include:

ccording to a new EY survey, technology is a key driver of job creation among entrepreneurs. In fact, over half (51 per cent) of the world’s top entrepreneurs agree that investments made in technology have changed their workforce – 81 per cent of those saying it’s led them to hire.

“Entrepreneurs here and around the world are creating jobs and driving economic growth,” says Colleen McMorrow, EY Partner and Canadian Strategic Growth Markets Leader. “There’s a misconception that technology will reduce jobs, but that’s simply not what we’re seeing with entrepreneurial

76 per cent of entrepreneurs surveyed plan to increase the size of their workforce in the year ahead – by an average of 19 per cent 85 per cent of entrepreneurs surveyed who invested in technology say it drives their plans for future growth 64 per cent of women entrepreneurs surveyed cite the more mobile workforce as an asset enabled by technology (versus 41 per cent of men) “Entrepreneurs are innovators, and they’re not afraid to take risks,” says McMorrow. “Through varied business conditions, entrepreneurs keep going forward and growing. And now more than ever, technology is enabling them to drive that growth.” About EY Global Job Creation Survey The EY Global job creation survey is the third annual survey into the views of previous finalists of the EY World Entrepreneur of the Year program that started in 2000. 243 entrepreneurs were surveyed in April 2014.

10 Tips in successful Real esTaTe invesTing Dino Nicosia, Broker of Record Investpro Realty and Appraisal Ltd.

8171452_2514

Hamilton

I

nvesting in real estate and being a landlord should be treated like any other business. The goal is to end up with a profit at the end of the day. After collecting rent and paying all the expenses, you must have money left over to be profitable. As a bonus, slowly and steadily your mortgage will be paid down and you’ll end up with a tidy nest egg. Remember that like any other business it takes effort, time and skill to be successful. Following these tips and it will be financially rewarding for you. 1. RESEARCH: Take the necessary time to inform yourself about property values in the locations you’re considering purchasing. Think about obtaining a market analysis from a real estate agent or appraiser for a property in which you are interested. Research if the location is in decline or moving upwards? A good indication is if large chains like Wal-Mart, Tim Hortons, Home Depot or Starbucks are moving into the neighbourhood. Such companies do a lot of market research on demographics and income before deciding where to locate. If a large chain finds a neighbourhood appealing, it’s a good indication the neighbourhood is moving upwards. You may find that you have to view many properties and submit many offers before you find the investment property that is the right fit for you 2. SURROUND YOURSELF WITH EXPERIENCE: Retain a real estate agent who has firsthand experience; who is also a local investor; and who has owned and managed investment properties. Many agents purport to be experts in investment properties, but have never owned or managed one. Retaining a real estate agent with experience is invaluable. Additionally, utilize the services of other experienced professionals, such as property managers, insurance advisers, mortgage brokers, home inspectors, accountants and lawyers. A knowledgeable professional team working with you will make the process smoother and save you time and money in the long run.

3. EFFECTIVE PROPERTY MANAGEMENT: A critical member of your professional team is an experienced and reliable property manager. If you are not experienced in dealing with tenant concerns, evictions, and other property issues, you will want a property manager. Depending mainly on the number of units being managed, (although there are many other factors), the management fee will range from between 3 and 10 percent of the monthly or yearly rental income. Good property management will pay for itself in the long run. When looking for a property management company, be sure you do your research and ask for references. 4. BE AWARE OF ILLEGAL UNITS: Before you make the purchase, research the zoning of the subject property. There is a good possibility that you may come across illegal units, mostly in duplexes and triplexes (usually a basement apartment). You could also find them in larger apartment buildings and students housing units. These apartments are illegal in that they contravene the zoning by-law. Although these units provide

Be aware that your lender will probably not include the income from those units in determining the principal amount you will qualify for under your mortgage.

5. BUY WITH THE GOAL TO HOLD LONG TERM: If you’re looking for a quick flip and a quick profit, you might as well put your money on the roulette wheel. Historically, real estate has always increased over the long term. The probability of you making money is greater in the long term then the chance of you making short term gains. Plan to hold the investment for the long haul, and wait for the changes in the market conditions that could make it prime time for selling. Remember that by keeping your investment for an extended period, you will trigger capital gains on the sale as opposed to a business gain. 6. PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT: If you’re investing with other persons, it’s recommended that you have an agreement in place, (i.e. partnership agreement, joint venture agreement, shareholders’ agreement) to address various matters. Those agreements should address issues such as; 1) failure for a partner to put in their share of cash calls when called upon, 2) selling their interest of the property, 3) sudden death or illness of a partner and a myriad of other situations. With an agreement in place, you have a mechanism already in place to deal with the many issues that may arise, rather than having to deal with them later when it could create problems and or opposition. It’s better to pay for a partnership agreement before the purchase, then possibly pay much more later on.

Volume 14 Issue 06

in on the deal as there are many other, probably better, deals outs there. 8. PROPERTY INSPECTION: A thorough property inspection by a qualified inspector is a necessity. Avoid using a contractor friend or a handymen’s opinion. Use a certified home inspector, who will provide a complete report with pictures and recommendations. Avoiding this step could lead to major unexpected costs or overpaying for the property. 9. EDUCATE YOURSELF: It is extremely important to educate and familiarize yourself with investment strategies, the terminology, and the current tax laws. You should also be familiar with all the regulations that govern investment properties such as fire, health and safety, landlord and tenant laws. Take your time and only proceed when you are ready. Know the business before you make the plunge. 10. DON’T OVERPAY FOR A PROPERTY: As a wise investor, you should always remember that when investing in real estate you make money when you buy the property by buying it right. Determine in advance how much you are safely prepared to invest without overextending yourself, and be cautious not to overpay for a property. Also make sure you have enough funds reserved for the unexpected capital expense. Follow these tips and you will be assured to make money, and become a successful real estate investor.

7. BE CAUTIOUS WITH HIGH LEVERAGE: While there are some investments that require minimal dollar investment, most real estate transactions require a significant down payment and financing that is personally guaranteed. Don’t fall prey to the “no money down” schemes. The people making the most money on the “no money down schemes” are the ones putting on the seminars. Chances are you will be paying a premium for the property because there is no money down; the property is a money drain and that’s why the seller is willing to sell with no money down so the losses can be passed onto you. Get a second opinion from a professional. Never be hurried by a real estate agent or a seller to act quickly to get Please say you saw it in The Commercial Investor

A CGA CAN HELP YOUR SMALL BUSINESS 1. Sound Advice: A certified general accountant (CGA) sees the big picture provides sound advice your business needs. You are the expert in your business; and a CGA is the expert in accounting, finance, taxation and business management. Together, the two of you will anticipate, prevent and solve problems. 2. Succession planning: The difference between selfemployment and business ownership lies in knowing your business can succeed without you. Succession planning ensures your business is self-sufficient. A CGA will help you develop a sound succession plan. 3. Business startup: When you decide that it’s time to make your dream a reality, a CGA will help set up the most appropriate entity for your business: a sole proprietorship, partnership or corporation. 4. Software installation and training: A CGA will take the time to understand the information technology needs of your business, assisting in the evaluation of functionality, cost and portability, and create the right software environment for your business through installation, configuration and training. 5. Systems implementation: Proper systems can make the difference between chaos and order. A CGA will help you to identify and evaluate systems such as record keeping, document retention, asset protection and information controls.

6. Estate planning: Estate planning is important. A CGA works with you and your lawyer to ensure that designated beneficiaries receive the maximum benefit from your estate. 7. Financial planning: Whether it’s investment advice or cash flow projections for your growing business, a CGA will provide the sound financial planning you require to get you to your goal. 8. Controllership services: You need a CEO. Many CGA firms offer part-time controllership services. They will provide hands-on advice about financial controls and procedures, assist in monthend processes and help ensure your business is in compliance with regulatory agencies. 9. Accounting services: CGAs offer a wide range of accounting services, from compiling your financial results on an interim or year-end basis, to payroll administration, tax compliance, cash management, projections and bill payment, plus analysis, assessments, calculations and reviews. 10. Tax planning and preparation:Tax planning and preparation is an integral part of the financial planning process. A CGA will help you minimize the taxes you pay – now and in the future – whether you’re an employee or self-employed, an investor or small business owner, a farmer, student or landlordl. NC More information or access to other small business resources is available online at cga-ontario.org or toll-free at 1-800-668-1454.

New report shows Canadian green building market growing steadily with owners seeing strong benefits from building Green

T

he Canadian Green building market is poised to see strong growth over the next three years, with surveyed Canadian firms expecting to grow their green practices from one third in 2014, to one half by 2017. These findings are part of a new report prepared by McGraw Hill Construction and commissioned by the Canada Green Building Council. The report, titled Canada Green Building Trends: Benefits Driving the New and Retrofit Market, is the first of its kind in Canada. Among its many findings, the report demonstrates that companies that invest in green buildings are seeing significant dividends on their investments, including:

• 82 per cent of building owners and developers reported decreases in energy consumption in their Green buildings compared to similar buildings. • 68 per cent of building owners and developers reported decreases in water consumption in their Green buildings. • The median reduction in operating costs over five years for Green buildings reported by the firms included in the research is 17 per cent.

The median payback for the investment in a new Green building is reported to be eight years, a finding consistent with paybacks on studies McGraw Hill has conducted in the U.S. and globally. In addition, green renovation projects increase building asset values, with a 4 per cent median increase reported by architects and owners that have worked on green building projects. This is consistent with data reported globally and in the U.S. in previous studies conducted by McGraw Hill Construction,

and it contributes to mounting evidence that green buildings have stronger value in the real estate marketplace. While the above financial benefits are critical to the growth of green building in Canada, other triggers and social factors play an important role as well. Client demand and ‘doing the right thing’ were the top triggers for future green building in the Canadian construction market with 42 per cent of respondents selecting these triggers as one of their top two. This emphasis on a combination of

business and social motives is helping to propel the strong performance of Green building in the next few years, as predicted by surveyed building owners, architects and contractors

To view a copy of the Canada Green Building Trends Report, visit the CaGBC website. This report was sponsored by Oxford Properties Group, REALpac, and the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority.

60 per cent of the survey respondents, who conducted Green building projects, consider the ability of green buildings to promote greater health and well-being among occupants to be the most important social reason that they chose to invest in Green.

›› About Oxford Properties Group

Survey respondents also recognized that building Green is key to the creation of high performing buildings. • 62 per cent of the building owners, architects and contractors surveyed considered having a higher-quality building as an important benefit of green building. • 73 per cent of the firms that use a green building rating system report that better performing buildings are an important benefit of using a rating system. “This report confirms that the Canadian marketplace recognizes that a rigorous approach to Green building improves the quality of building projects and sets the stage for realizing financial, environmental and health benefits,” says Thomas Mueller, President and CEO of the Canada Green Building Council. “The business case for green buildings in Canada is strong, which translates into growing demand and investment over the next three years.” “This report is exciting because it demonstrates that the majority of the Canadian green building market recognizes the value that healthy green buildings have,” says Harvey Bernstein, Vice President of Industry Insights and Alliances at McGraw Hill Construction. “As research continues to demonstrate the value of these investments on companies’ productivity and the bottom line, we think that occupant health and satisfaction is going to be an even more critical driver in the future.” These and other findings are available in the Canada Green Building Trends: Benefits Driving the New and Retrofit Market Report through the CaGBC.

Bazis, Metropia and plaza announce Major retailers for eMerald park Metro, LCBO and Starbucks will call it home

B

azis, Metropia and Plaza announced three major retailers will be coming to Emerald Park, the iconic condominium, retail and office development located at Yonge Street and Sheppard Avenue.

access to two subway lines (Yonge line and Sheppard line) and minutes to Highway 401, makes Emerald Park an ideal location to live, work and shop. With these retailers joining us, purchasers now have even more to celebrate.”

Grocery giant Metro, together with LCBO and Starbucks, will occupy second storey retail space at Emerald Park, which is slated for occupancy in the fall of 2014. Metro and LCBO are designing their first state-of-the-art unique stores for this location.

The first two levels of the central podium will be dedicated to retail while the third level will showcase exceptional office space. A spectacular residents’ only club space will occupy the fourth floor. Reminiscent of an international resort, the club will feature a swimming pool, an exercise theatre with weights, cardio and yoga/Pilates areas, steam rooms and a whirlpool. Residents can also take advantage of two fully equipped party rooms, two games rooms and two guest suites, all of which will flow into a rooftop garden graced by a sun terrace with reflecting pools, fireplace and seating areas.

“This is a huge win for the residents and retailers of Emerald Park,” says architect and Bazis partner, Roy Varacalli. “ We already know that Emerald Park represents the ultimate in design and will stand as one of North York’s most striking and recognizable towers. Direct

Emerald Park has already proven to be a major success, with most of the residential, retail and office condominiums already sold out. A limited amount of office space still remains available on the third floor. Emerald Park will consist of a pair of willowy, glistening emerald-green, glass-encased twin towers, rising from a four-level podium and connected by a glass-enclosed walkway. Upon completion, this sleek walkway will also serve as Emerald Park’s own, internal connection to the Sheppard subway station, making it simple for residents to get where they need to go.

And it isn’t just Emerald Park’s glistening exterior that will be green. Environmentally friendly features of this remarkable new community include a high performance thermal envelope to minimize unwanted solar gain and heat loss, individual suite metering of electricity, energy-saving appliances and more. For more information or to take advantage of the remaining office space available in Emerald Park, visit www.thegalleriaatemeraldpark.com or call 416-221-8802.

PUTTING THE PIECES TOGETHER LEASE WITH OPTION TO BUY

W

Central Ontario

e found an attractive parcel of land, ideal for our Buyer client’s latest commercial venture. However, coming to terms on the price for the property turned out to be a battle of wills between a well-heeled and non-motivated Seller and our Buyer. The Seller knew the property’s location and growing positive demographics would one day reap him the inflated number. The Buyer, on the other hand, knew the future was good for his business, but could not justify the Seller’s price at that specific time.

did receive his land asking price through the larger exercised Option.

All along in the negotiations, the Seller knew about the financial strength and integrity of the Buyer. Through this growing relationship, we negotiated a transaction whereby the Seller advanced substantial money to the Buyer, so he could construct a brand new facility. In exchange, the Buyer and Seller entered into a long term lease, with the Buyer having an Option to Purchase the property over a period of time.

When viewing property, it is important to analyze the potential future highest and best use. To accomplish this, we continually research existing zoning, official plans, current and future demographic trends etc. In addition there may be an opportunity to incorporate concept site and building plans to determine further “what-if” options.

The Buyer took advantage of an excellent location, expanded the business, and was able to exercise his option through well over 100% bank financing based on the appraisals completed at the time of the option being exercised. We took this formula to yet another location in another city, with similar success. There are various additional interesting creative opportunities for Sellers and Buyers alike via leasing real estate with options to purchase. The Buyer will realize benefits of property ownership (including appreciation) without the potential early financial need. Depending on the Seller’s situation definite tax planning benefits can accrue. As an example, multiple Seller and Buyer benefits may accrue from a seldom used but viable alternative of selling property improvements and leasing the land, with an option to purchase at a future date. Ideas to think about!

However, all this technical work-up is meaningless until an understanding of the Seller’s motivation is understood. In other words, what will the Seller do to help manufacture a transaction? It is imperative to determine the Seller’s ability and willingness to assist in making a transaction successful. There are numerous transaction ideas to share with Sellers that will, in the end, determine the potential and willingness to proceed to closing.

My Buyer, once his business was “proven up”, exercised his Option to Purchase.

Finding ways to attract and retain top talent

T

he cost of hiring and training new employees is significant for any organization and it can be especially challenging for small and medium sized businesses.

• A flexible schedule is a bonus – A flexible schedule is increasingly becoming an important factor in employee satisfaction. Many employees, including those with long commutes or young children, often want the flexibility to shift their working hours.

“Attracting and retaining top talent is a sure way to keep your business competitive,” explains John Carinci, head, Group & Business Markets, RBC Insurance. “However, it can sometimes be a challenge for small and medium sized business owners to find the time to research and identify what their employees really want.”

• Maintain a positive work culture – Small businesses can offer something that larger companies sometimes can’t – a tightknit team. Feeling connected to other colleagues not only makes the workday more enjoyable, but can also increase employee commitment and productivity.

RBC Insurance offers the following ideas to help your business retain its top talent: • Watch for the warning signs – Watch for any red flags that may signal an unsatisfied employee and focus on employee engagement throughout the year, not just during performance review periods.

• It’s all about the total package – Along with a competitive salary, employees want a full suite of benefits – disability, health, dental insurance, retirement plans and more. This can be challenging for smaller businesses, but there are options. For information, visit rbcinsurance.com/groupbenefits. NC

Canada’s Rental VaCanCy Rate remains unchanged

A

ccording to the spring Rental Market Survey1 released recently by Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC), the average vacancy rate for primary purpose-built apartments in Canada’s 35 major centres2 was 2.7 per cent in April 2014, unchanged from April 2013.

“The stability of the national vacancy rate is due to supply and demand factors,” said Bruno Duhamel, manager of Economic and Housing Analysis. “Demand for rental housing continues to be supported by population gains from net migration and stable employment levels for young workers aged 20 to 24”.

CMHC’s Rental Market Survey is conducted twice a year in April and October, to provide vacancy, availability and rent information on privately initiated structures in all centres with populations of 10,000 and more across Canada. Reports are released in June and December. Note that there are differences between the fall and spring surveys. The spring survey covers apartment and row structures containing at least three rental units, and, unlike the fall survey, does not report information on: a) Smaller geographic zones within centres; b) Secondary rental market (rented condominium apartments, single detached, semi-detached, duplexes or accessory apartments).

1

Major centres are based on Statistics Canada Census Metropolitan Areas (CMAs) with the exception of the Ottawa-Gatineau CMA, which is treated as two centres for Rental Market Survey purposes and Charlottetown, which is a Census Agglomeration (CA).

2

To access CMHC’s 2014 reports on the rental market visit www.cmhc-schl.gc.ca.

The results of CMHC’s spring survey also revealed that major centres with the lowest vacancy rates in April 2014 were Edmonton and Calgary (1.4 per cent each) and Kelowna (1.5 per cent). The major centres with the highest vacancy rates were Moncton (10.7 per cent), Saint John (10.0 per cent), and Charlottetown (8.7 per cent). The Canadian average two-bedroom rent in new and existing structures was $930 in April 2014. With respect to the census metropolitan areas, the highest average monthly rents for two-bedroom apartments were in Vancouver ($1,274), Calgary ($1,267), and Toronto ($1,241). The lowest average monthly rents for two-bedroom apartments were in Saguenay ($562), Trois-Rivières ($571) and Sherbrooke ($594). As Canada’s national housing agency, CMHC draws on more than 65 years of experience to help Canadians access a variety of high quality, environmentally sustainable TheRentersGuide.ca and affordable housing solutions. CMHC also provides reliable, impartial and up-todate housing market reports, analysis and knowledge to support and assist consumers and the housing industry in making informed decisions. TheRentersGuide.ca

1.0 rental market indicators 1

(table on next page) Major centres refer to Census Metropolitan Areas (CMA), except for Charlottetown.

The Percentage Change of Average Rent is a measure of the market movement, and is based on those structures that were common to the survey sample for both years.

Includes both Alberta and Saskatchewan portions of Lloydminster CA.

Does not include Alberta portion of Lloydminster CA. For Lloydminster CA data, refer to Saskatchewan Highlights report.

The following letter codes are used to indicate the reliability of the estimates: a - Excellent, b- Very good, c - Good, d - Fair (Use with Caution) ** Data suppressed to protect confidentiality or data not statistically reliable. ++ Change in rent is not statistically significant. This means that the change in rent is not statistically different than zero (0). n/u: No units exist in the universe for this category n/s: No units exist in the sample for TheRentersGuide.ca this category n/a: Not applicable 5 indicates the year-over-year change is a statistically significant increase, 6 indicates the change is a statistically significant decrease, while – indicates that the change is not statistically significant.

Tips when choosing a group insurance plan for your small business

A

well-designed group benefits plan can offer significant advantages for your employees and your business. It can help you attract and retain top talent; promote a healthy work environment; and differentiate your business from your competitors. Niagara Peninsula

“A group insurance plan can be a flexible and affordable way to enhance your total compensation package,” explains John Carinci, head, Group & Business Markets, RBC Insurance. “Many Canadian employees identify their benefits plan as a key reason for remaining with their current employer. In fact given the choice, 59 per cent of employees would prefer group benefits over a 10 per cent salary increase.” Before choosing a group insurance plan, consider the following three tips: • Define your objectives – To identify whether you need a basic plan or a comprehensive plan, first identify your

primary purpose for implementing a benefits package. The plan you choose may be different depending on whether your goal is to attract new talent, retain existing employees, or simply offer basic coverage. • Provide coverage your employees will use – Talk to your employees about their needs prior to selecting your group plan. By doing the research up front, you’ll avoid paying for features your employees won’t use while also aligning the plan to your stated objectives. • Choose a plan that is a good fit for you and your employees – A good benefits package provides a benchmark level of coverage that meets the needs of your employees, at a cost that you are comfortable with. Prepare a list of questions for your advisor to ensure you are delivering the best solution possible. For more information, visit: rbcinsurance.com/groupbenefits NC

Mortgages

PRIVATE LENDING IS NOT JUST FOR RICH PEOPLE... IT WILL MAKE YOU RICH! For many years, we have been assisting people to make their money really work for them in mortgage lending. Most of the big, RICH, private lenders out there started out as just average people, that took the leap into mortgage lending regardless of what friends and family thoughts were. Many are stricken with fear of losing their money when contemplating this investment vehicle. Before dismissing this investment direction, consider the following points. Private lending can be very financially rewarding. Private lending is certainly not like putting funds into a guaranteed account with a guaranteed rate and a modest return. Yes, there is a bit more involved. The mortgage brokerage you work with is key. The typical brokerage will have a range of mortgage offerings that will include offerings that cater to individuals that are in a dire position. They may be losing their property and/or their mortgage is in arrears, their credit is challenged and they need to consolidate. The banks will not lend under such circumstances as the risk is too high. These are the type of deals I would not lend on, but are the basis of the high yielding returns. Lending criteria has changed so drastically in the past few years. Banks have really tightened up their lending rules, specifically when it comes to income properties. This is when a private lender can come into play and really leverage on this opportunity to make anywhere from 8-20% annual return. These clients generally have clean credit, good income and other assets. This would make for a safer investment. Lending your Self Directed RRSPs: You can utilize your RRSPs in this type of investment. Most folks are seeing very slim returns in their plans, unless you are in the industry of watching markets, you typically will not experience anything positive. The Self Directed route is really not too difficult in terms of process. The broker should handle the entre process from providing you the lender with the complete details of the investment so you can make an informed decision. – Check List: Credit bureau, credit application, appraisal or an evaluation, income and a scenario of why these borrowers are seeking funds. Note: Not all RRSP plan holders will allow for you to self direct your funds into mortgages. Please confirm with your plan holder as to their protocol on mortgage lending. I am aware of plans that do so and have worked with them for several years, some are much less work and make it easier and less costly for you the lender. You can also make equity in your home really work for you as the current rates are insanely low, borrow at a variable rate of 2.102.50% and lend at 9-20%, great profit. This is a great venue for people that are sitting on equity. For example, for a senior that has reduced income, this can bring you additional funds monthly and give you the peace of mind you are looking for. Scenario – Borrow a mortgage for 100K your monthly payment @ 2.25% interest and a 25 year amortization would be $436. Lend 100k at 14% interest at an interest only monthly payment of $1,167. Your profit is a super $731 per month. In addition, you are paying down your mortgage with this borrower’s interest payments. As a bonus, you are also paying down principal of $3,018 in the first year (this will increase over time). So, you can service your debt, pay-down your principal loan and earn extra income to build a retirement nest egg. Not bad. At the end of the typical one year term the funds come back and you can re-invest again. Ok, so that is the positive side of this investment vehicle. What about the risks? What if a borrower does not pay their mortgage? The private lender is typically in second position. It is imperative for you to confirm that the first mortgage is up to date so you can control the sale process. Don’t let this scare you. If you have a good loan to value on the property you will be in a good position to charge back costs plus any associated fees to the sale. The key in managing your risk is to do your proper due diligence on the property and get a realistic valuation from a reputable Appraiser or valuator. There is a lot of detail in this, but with proper counsel, the returns are worth this potential risk. Being a private lender has made people very wealthy. Do not let fear cripple your vision of having a great return. Contact carmen@profunds.ca for complete details and start to make your funds work for you – build your wealth.

Building or renovating commercial properties:

construction liens 101

By Jayson Schwarz and Konstantine Chatzidimos

I

f you construct or renovate a property you should know about construction liens and how they can affect real estate. A lien is, simply, a claim against property. A construction lien is a special kind of claim created by a statute called the Construction Lien Act. These liens are used by people who do construction work or supply materials and/or services for the construction, repair or alteration of land or buildings.

If you construct or renovate a property you should know about construction liens and how they can affect real estate. A lien is, simply, a claim against property. A construction lien is a special kind of claim created by a statute called the Construction Lien Act. These liens are used by people who do construction work or supply materials and/or services for the construction, repair or alteration of land or buildings. Lien rights do not replace, but add to any other rights suppliers or servicers may have for recovering their money at law. Among those who would ordinarily use construction liens are general contractors, trades people, surveyors, architects, designers and material suppliers. Construction liens encumber title to the property; effectively preventing the owner from mortgaging or selling it. The right to a lien arises as soon as 12G COM

someone provides services, work or materials to a construction site. The Act provides that this lien expires if it is not “preserved” – or registered – within 45 days after the last substantial supply of services or materials. Often times, the registration of the lien itself is sufficient to get the claim paid, unless, of course, there is a fundamental dispute about the sum owed. Even where the amount is in dispute, the party against whom the claim is made may pay the amount into court by cash or bond along with estimated court costs and the lien will be discharged with the parties battling it out later in court. If you then miss the period for registering your lien you can still sue in ordinary court. Registering a lien gives the lien claimant priority on title against any future mortgagee or owners of the property. This effectively prevents the property owner from mortgaging or selling the property without dealing with the lien claimant. Lenders will not provide construction money or financing on a property that has outstanding construction liens unless arrangements have been made for the settlement or discharge of the lien. Further, a purchaser will not be obligated to close a deal unless lien claims have been dealt with and removed from the title. In the instance where the claim is filed and the lien remains unpaid, the claimant has an additional 45 days (meaning a total of 90 days after substantial completion) to register a Certificate of Action against the lands and premises. This means a lawsuit has been commenced. If this additional step is not taken, the claim will normally expire. Often, the expense of multiple court actions by workers on the same project can be avoided by a process called“sheltering”in which claimants proceed under the umbrella of one claimant and sometimes share the costs. Under the Act, anyone paying another party to work on a construction project, or to provide materials or services, must hold back 10 per cent of the amount owing until the time for filing all liens relating to the holdback has expired. Normally, all funds are released once the 45-day period for all parties has passed. Obviously, the termination of the 45-day periods will be different

for all the parties, since their different stages of work and supply will have taken place at different times. Any individual who does not hold back the amount that they were supposed to, will still be liable for that amount and possibly more, if others further down the construction chain do not pay the amounts that they were supposed to. In the case of construction mortgages, the bank or lending institution will hold back 10 per cent of all money paid out until respective lien periods have expired. It is a good idea if you are considering registering a lien, to consult with your lawyer as soon as possible. Your lawyer will tell you what information you will need to register in a timely fashion. It takes time to prepare properly and register, don’t be late! In any registration process there can be glitches and things that need to be changed at the last minute. It is generally a good idea to plan to register by day 40 of the eligibility period in order to allow for any last-minute problems. The lien can be removed from title after either: its expiry for failure to perfect, a settlement in some fashion, payment into court by way of cash or bond, or a final judgment. There are costs and penalties for those who file false or inappropriate liens.

The Lien legislation is complicated. The information above is simply an outline and not intended in any way to be a comprehensive analysis of construction lien law or actions that should be taken in any particular circumstance. If you wish to discuss construction liens or your particular construction lien problem we advise you consult a solicitor experienced in real estate law. Perhaps the most difficult part of writing these articles relates not to the actual writing, but thinking of a topic to address.
