SMALL BIZ CONFIDENCE TAKES A BEATING IN JULY

C

anada’s small business confidence took it on the chin in July, as CFIB’s Business BarometerIndex slipped another full point to 58.2, its lowest level since mid-2009.

“Low confidence in the prairies and an underperforming central core has the economy beaten down,” said Ted Mallett, CFIB’s chief economist and vice-president.“Confidence is now a point just below the marker that indicates zero real GDP growth (59.8) and other indicators have turned sour.

Employment plans are back below seasonal norms, and a weak dollar and the higher cost of imports have driven pricing plans up.”

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.

Business owners in British Columbia saw their run as the most optimistic in the country come to an end, as their confidence slipped to 67.5, a two-year low. Alberta remains the least

optimistic at 43.9. Saskatchewan jumped a point to 54.5, while Manitoba fell six points to 58.2. Ontario dropped three points to 60.7, and Quebec held steady to 58.5, sitting just above the national average. Newfoundland and Labrador’s business confidence rose for a second consecutive month to 63.2.

Nova Scotia dipped two points to 63.7, while New Brunswick improved to 62.2. Prince Edward Island rose to 69.0 and regained its spot as most optimistic in the country.

The resource sector continues to show the weakest levels of optimism in the country. Below-average confidence in manufacturing, construction, wholesale and retail are offsetting reasonably good outlooks in the rest of the services sectors. Only 17 per cent of businesses plan to hire additional full-time staff in the next few months, versus 12 per cent that plan to cut back.

July, 2015 findings are based on 924 responses, collected from a stratified random sample of CFIB members, to a controlled-access web survey. Data reflect responses received through July 22. Findings are considered accurate to +\- 3.2 per cent 19 times in 20.

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

BMO INVESTORLINE PSYCHOLOGY OF INVESTING STUDY:

97 per cent of Canadians feel investment anxiety

B

MO InvestorLine, a part of BMO Wealth Management, today released the results of its latest study which examines the psychology of investing.

The study found nearly all Canadian investors (97 per cent) feel anxiety when thinking about their investments. When thinking of investing and making investment decisions, Canadians are most worried about: › Fear of financial loss (47 per cent overall; 43 per cent for men and 50 per cent for women). › Not receiving a ‘good’ return on their investments (40 per cent overall; 39 per cent for men and 41 per cent for women). › How market volatility will affect their investments (33 per cent overall; 29 per cent for men and 37 per cent for women). › Selecting the ‘right’ investments (32 per cent overall; 32 per cent for men and 31 per cent for women).

“Investing is personal so it’s not surprising to see that a majority of Canadians are not only financially but emotionally involved in their investments,”said Julie Barker-Merz, president, BMO InvestorLine, a part of BMO Wealth Management.“Given recent market volatility, fear of financial loss is an understandable concern.”

Canadians are Confused about Investing Along with investment anxiety, the study revealed Canadians are generally confused about investing (90 per cent) - only 10 per cent overall (12 per cent for men and eight per cent for women) say nothing puzzles them about investing.

COM_3315.indd 16

The top areas of investing that created the most confusion are: › Finding an investment that will yield the best return with minimal risk (38 per cent overall; 37 per cent for men and 39 per cent for women). › Which investment option will best suit their risk tolerance and life stage (25 per cent overall; 20 per cent for men and 30 per cent for women). › Knowing when to change their investment mix (23 for both men and women, respectively) and deciding with whom to entrust their money (23 per cent overall; 25 per cent for men and 21 per cent for women).

“The confusion that exists among 90 per cent of Canadian investors likely contributes to their investment anxiety,” said Ms. Barker-Merz.

Ms. Barker-Merz noted that BMO InvestorLine has introduced adviceDirect, an online investing service aimed to help Canadians navigate the investing process.“adviceDirect acts as a co-pilot providing personalized investment advice, quantitative market analysis and support tools to help investors clear any investing confusion so they can confidently manage their own investments and take control of their portfolio to meet their financial goals.”

2015-08-14 4:24 PM

› Nearly half of Canadians fear financial loss and one third are concerned about how market volatility will affect their investments › Ninety per cent are confused about investing while only one in 10 say nothing confuses them › Many are confused when looking for the right investment option that will yield the best return and suits their level of risk tolerance

BUILDING VALUE ON A RENTAL PROPERTY… IT’S ALL ABOUT THE NOI.

By Dino Nicosia, Broker of Record, Investpro Realty Ltd., Brokerage

Hamilton

T

he real estate market is divided into many submarkets, such as commercial, industrial, vacant land and residential. The sub market for residential can be separated into two categories; the owner occupied and tenant occupied properties. The value of the owner occupied property is mostly determined by supply and demand. This demand is significantly influenced by disposable income, interest rates, consumer confidence and political and economical climate.

Although the tenant occupied property value is influenced by the same factors, in addition it is affected more importantly by the income it generates. With this type of residential property you are not just buying the bricks and mortar, you are also buying the income that is being produced from the rent. Therefore a tenant occupied property is also classified as an investment property.

Since the value of an investment property is largely determined by the income it produces, we should relate this to running a business where the goal is to end up with money in our pocket at the end of the month. After collecting the rent and paying all the bills, the amount of money left over, (before making the mortgage payments), is called the Net Operating Income (NOI).

To determine an accurate NOI, the expenses must include property taxes, insurance, maintenance, vacancy reserve, utilities, garbage removal, lawn service, plowing, wages and management fees if any.

The NOI is directly tied into the Capitalization Rate (also referred to as the Cap Rate). The Cap Rate essentially represents the percentage return on an all cash purchase (not taking mortgage debt into account). Simply refer to the Cap Rate as being the return on the investment, and note that the Cap Rate will be determined by the current market sales in the area of the subject property.

For example, let’s assume you purchased a 20 unit apartment building which generates an annual NOI of $100,000.00, and the purchase price of this property was $1,000,000.00. Therefore based on this purchase price, you are receiving a 10% return on the investment; or in other words, the Cap Rate on this purchase was 10%.

Combined with the Cap Rate, the NOI will be instrumental in establishing the investment property’s value. Therefore if you want to increase the value of your tenant occupied property, you must improve your NOI. There are three major ways to increase the NOI: 1. Find ways to increase rents without affecting the vacancy.

2. Reduce property expenses without neglecting the property.

3. Do not rent the equipment…own them.

1. INCREASING RENTS: We will demonstrate the tremendous impact on value from rent increases, with this real life example. The ownership of a recently purchased 21 unit apartment building, created a business plan to renovate all units that became vacant and attempt to maximize their rents. They knew the great potential of increasing the NOI, which in turn would escalate the value of their property.

The plan was to renovate and increase each unit by an average of $100.00 per month ($1,200.00 per year). Assuming that the current market Cap Rate is 7%, the value of the property would escalate by $17,000.00 by just increasing rent on one unit ($1,200.00 divided by 7% cap rate). In the course of one year they were able to maximize rents to ten apartment units for a total annual increase to the NOI by $14,000.00. This amount translated to an increase in value by $200,000.00.

Before an investor undertakes this task, they should ask themselves; • Is it worthwhile to spend money for renovations if the rents can be increased as a result of the renovations?

• Do the increased rents justify the expense?

• Will the increase in value as a result of the renovations justify the expense?

First let’s establish how long will it take to recoup the renovation costs?

The answer comes down to doing the math.

In the above example the renovation cost was approximately $3,000.00 8171452_3315

per unit. After the renovation was complete the rents were increased by an average of $100.00 per month or $1,200.00 annually. It will take 30 months to recoup the expense or in other words the payback on the investment is 2.5 years. That equates to an approximate 40% annual return on the renovation investment, ($1200/$3000 = 40%).

But most importantly the total value of the property based on a 7% cap rate had increased by $200,000.00. In this example, it’s clear that the renovations at a cost of $3,000.00 per unit ($30,000 for all 10 units) was a prudent investment 2. REDUCING EXPENSES: Reducing property expenses is often the most cost effective way to improve the NOI and increase value.

• UTILITIES: Assess how much you are paying for heat, water and hydro and then establish how you can reduce these charges.

• WATER: Conduct routine checks for water leaks and running toilets in each unit • HEAT: Check for loss of heat from windows, dirty radiators, old boiler system • HYDRO: If you are paying for the unit hydro, remember that old fridges consume more; charge extra for the use of A/C window units and check the timer to the common area and exterior lights.

Educate your tenants on the benefits of energy conservation.

• REALTY TAXES: Are you paying too much realty tax? Let’s face it, paying too much realty tax on investment properties could significantly impact the NOI and dramatically reduce value.

Unfortunately most investors take this large expense for granted and assume that the assessment on their investment property is correct and never bother to investigate it.

The reality is that many landlords are paying too much realty tax without being aware of it. As

an owner, you should make a point to investigate if you are paying too much realty tax on all your properties.

I would like to share another real life experience of how an owner reduced his property tax by over $10,000.00 per year.

In a transaction about 4 years ago, I noted that the property tax on my client’s new acquisition (a 20 unit apartment building in Hamilton On) appeared to be extremely high, based on my many comparables. Doing a quick check I calculated that the realty tax was about $12,000.00 too high. The first step was to ask MPAC to review the assessment through a simple on line application called Request for Reconsideration (RfR)” Do your homework by obtaining the assessments on similar properties. If you are convinced your property is over assessed, then simply go to the MPAC website and follow the instructions; download, and fully complete the (RfR) form. A local assessment officer will be appointed to review your application. Once the officer completes his investigation you will be notified on their decision.

Should you not agree with the results from the reconsideration process, you still have the option for an appeal. The appeal process is more involved and will not be covered in this article.

In reference to the application for the Request for Reconsideration by my client I am pleased to say it was a huge success. The owner received a revised tax assessment and a refund cheque for over $11,000.00. It was not just the refund that was gratifying, the increase in the NOI as a result of the realty tax reduction translated to a huge rise in value. By taking the revised net income and using a market cap rate of 7%, this equated to about a $150,000.00 increase in value!

3. RENTAL EQUIPMENT: Another relatively easy way to reduce your expenses and increase the NOI is to eliminate rental equipment. Make a plan to owning them instead.

We continue another real life example of how the property value was increased for a 21 unit apartment building. The hot water tank rental was approximately $300 per month (including taxes) which equated to $3,600 per year. The cost to purchase and install the equipment was approximately $4,000.00. The purchase of this hot water tank was a great investment simply because of the approximate one year payback!

But more importantly, this change also increased the property value by simply reducing of the operating expenses (or increasing the NOI) by $3,600.00 per year.

How much would the property value increase after this relatively low investment? To assess the impact of the $3,600.00 of extra income that was generated by reducing the annual hot water rental expense, we need to divide this amount by the market Cap Rate. Let’s assume the current market Cap Rate is 7.0%, therefore by dividing by this Cap Rate the value had increased by $51,000.00, just by improving the NOI. ($3,600/7.0% = $51,000.00).

The above scenarios demonstrate how simple investment undertakings produced a tremendous return rate and helped generate a huge increase in property value. One can now clearly see that increasing rents and or lowering expenses, (even if it requires expenditure to do so), is a wise decision.

On the first real life scenario, the property was just sold for a $300,000.00 profit, after only one year of ownership.

Remember, it is all about the NOI.

SMALLEST BUSINESSES MAKE BIGGEST INVESTMENT IN TRAINING Small firms hire double the percentage of inexperienced workers compared to larger businesses

C

anada’s smallest businesses lead the way in employee training, investing nearly $2,000 per employee on average each year according to the Canadian Federation of Independent Business’ (CFIB) latest report. These findings challenge the view that small firms are slower to invest in training than their larger counterparts, who spend $1,713 per worker.

Informal, or “on-the-job,” training, is a key investment for small business, totalling $9 billion annually, making up 64 per cent of the $14 billion small and medium business invests in training.

In total, informal training is offered by 90 per cent of small and medium businesses, and is done without any government credits or grants.

“Formal training is important, but there is no substitute for what you learn on the job,” said CFIB President Dan Kelly.“Informal training provides both foundational skills and key industry techniques that simply can’t be learned in a classroom setting. There’s a reason that employers value work experience above almost everything else.”

Inexperienced workers make up 18 per cent of new hires in small firms, versus only nine per cent in their larger counterparts. Small businesses invest

COM_3315.indd 28

an average of over $4,200 training each new, inexperienced employee – much higher than the investment of training an employee with experience.

Although 85 per cent of small and medium businesses believe it is their responsibility to train new workers, many small firms will never see a return on that investment.

Sixty per cent fear that employees will receive training, and then leave.“Too often, small businesses train employees only to see big business and the public sector swoop in and poach them away,” added Kelly.“Independent businesses take pride in training Canada’s workforce, but ‘we train, they gain’ is not sustainable.”

While there have been small steps that recognize the unique training needs of small businesses, all governments need to do more. CFIB is calling on the federal parties, as well as provincial and territorial governments to even the playing field by offering a new training tax credit that recognizes informal training. Sixty per cent of small and medium business owners say such a credit would boost their ability to train tomorrow’s workforce.

Read the full report, Small Business, Big Investment: Improving Training for Tomorrow’s Workforce at cfib-fcei.ca.

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

How to spot a successful CONDO INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY

W

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

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

1 MULTI-PHASE PROJECTS Projects that are not just one-off buildings, but rather contain multiple buildings rolled out over time as part of a bigger master plan, are great for investment. If the project is successful at the start, prices always go up for subsequent phases. Getting in early in a multi-phase project is a proven method of making money in condo investing.

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

3 AREAS WITH HIGH RENTAL DEMAND When evaluating potential condo buildings to invest in, be sure to study the rental market in the immediate vicinity to see how much demand there is to live in the area.

Look especially for two things: are rents increasing, and how many days on the market does the typical rental listing last? Areas with rapidly increasing rental rates and low time on the market are more likely to outperform other areas.

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

GTA REALTORS REPORT commercial market figures

T

oronto Real Estate Board President Mark McLean announced that TREB Commercial Network Members reported a combined 323,761 square feet of leased industrial, commercial/retail and office space in July 2015. This result was down by 11.6 per cent compared to July 2014. The industrial market segment accounted for 71 per cent of total space leased.

up for all three property categories, but the price changes were more associated with a change in the mix of properties sold this year compared to last year.

Changes in average lease rates for properties leased on a per square foot net basis with pricing disclosed were mixed.

The average industrial lease rate was down slightly to $5.22 compared to $5.48 a year earlier. The average commercial/ retail lease rate was up quite substantially year-over-year, but this was more to do with a change in the mix of properties leased. Similarly, the average office lease rate was down by approximately 15 per cent, as the locations of office space leased through TREB’s MLS System this July were different compared to the same timeframe in 2014.

“Both the amount of leased space and the number of commercial properties sold were down on a year-over-year basis in July. While commercial transactions can be volatile on a month-to-month basis, it is also likely that an uncertain economic outlook weighed on some firms’ decision to relocate and/or take on more space,”said Mr. McLean.

“However, the GTA economy appears to be performing better than many other regional economies in Canada. This could fuel an increase in demand for commercial space moving forward,” said Mr. McLean.

Combined industrial, commercial/retail and office sales amounted to 60 in July 2015 – down from 80 transactions reported in July 2014. Average sale prices reported on a per square foot basis for transactions with pricing disclosed were

MONTREAL OFFICE AND INDUSTRIAL REAL ESTATE MARKETS MOVED IN OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS IN Q2-2015, Colliers International Office Report

T

he Montreal Office and Industrial commercial real estate markets began to move in opposite directions during the second quarter of 2015, with a slightly improving office market and a slowdown now being experienced in the industrial sector, according to the Q2-2015 Colliers International Montreal Office and Industrial Market Reports.

COLLIERS MONTREAL OFFICE REPORT

The downtown Montreal office market showed positive absorption and a drop in the vacancy rate in the second quarter, now standing at an even 5.2 per cent, a drop of 0.4 per cent from the first quarter. The suburban office market’s vacancy rate in the second quarter dropped even further, declining by 1.2 per cent to stand at 9.4 per cent.

Of interest in the suburban office market was that no new supply of office space was experienced during the second quarter, as compared to the more than 461,000 square feet of new office space which came on stream in the suburbs in the first quarter of 2015. The suburban office market continues to grow rapidly due to its price and affordable rents.

“As the economy continues to pick up, we see the Montreal office market as one of stability at least until the next quarter with a possible acceleration in the fourth quarter of this year,” said Andrew Maravita, Colliers’ Managing Director in Montreal.“We believe tenants will continue with their operating cost reduction efforts, while most businesses remain cautious and are waiting to see the exact direction of the economy before making any further new investments.”

COLLIERS MONTREAL INDUSTRIAL REPORT

The Montreal Industrial commercial real estate market is a completely different story as the Colliers report shows it has entered a slowdown phase across all major Montreal industrial regions. After one million square feet of industrial space were absorbed during the first quarter of 2015, only 19,392 square feet were positively absorbed in Q2-2015.

The ‘type of space’ inventory is key to the health of any regions’ industrial space and in Montreal, there is still an abundance of less recent buildings having an area of less than 300,000 square feet and clear building heights of 24 feet.

Therefore, large companies may consider the need to custom build in order to meet their exacting requirements for industrial space.

“We see the level of activity, as well as investment, remaining stable in the Greater Montréal Area,” added Maravita.“We expect rents will not increase significantly and we forecast a slight increase in demand for industrial space in the third quarter.”

Looking forward, should forecasters be correct and the economy improves as the year progresses, this would boost industrial exports in many different industries by the end of 2015. This perspective would be beneficial, especially to the automotive, transport and warehousing sectors, which could stimulate the absorption of the industrial space which is currently available in the Greater Montreal Area.

Avison Young releases its Mid-Year 2015 Canada, U.S. and U.K. Office Market Report ECONOMIC HEADWINDS CHALLENGE CANADIAN OFFICE MARKET FUNDAMENTALS, U.S. SECTOR SHOWS RESILIENCE

T

he Canadian and U.S. office sectors appear to be moving in opposite directions. Stymied by lessthan-stellar economic results, Canadian markets are seeing mixed performance, while U.S. indicators have been largely positive. Despite the differences, there are similarities – mounting concern surrounding depressed oil prices and the burden placed on markets tied to the energy industry (such as Calgary and Houston) on both sides of the border.

These are some of the key trends noted in Avison Young’s Mid-Year 2015 Canada, U.S. and U.K. Office Market Report, released recently: The report covers the office markets in 50 Canadian, U.S. and U.K. metropolitan regions: Calgary, Edmonton, Guelph (Southwestern Ontario), Halifax, Lethbridge, Montreal, Ottawa, Quebec City, Regina, Toronto, Toronto West/ Mississauga, Vancouver, Winnipeg, Atlanta, Austin, Boston, Charleston, Charlotte, Chicago, Cleveland, Columbus, OH; Dallas, Denver, Detroit, Fairfield County, Fort Lauderdale, Houston, Indianapolis, Las Vegas, Long

Island, Los Angeles, Miami, Minneapolis, New Jersey, New York, Oakland, Orange County, Orlando, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Raleigh-Durham, Reno, Sacramento, San Diego County, San Francisco, San Mateo, Tampa, Washington, DC; West Palm Beach and London, U.K. “In this, our annual mid-year review of the office sector across North America, we are pleased to report that, as Avison Young continues to grow, so does our coverage of the property markets, which has expanded to 50 office markets from 39 during the past year, including additional cities in Canada and the U.S., plus London in the U.K.,” comments Mark E. Rose, Chair and CEO of Avison Young.

Rose continues: “The economic well-being of both Canada and the U.S. impacts directly on property market fundamentals, and there appears to be a widening divergence in economic performance between the two countries, resulting in a corresponding shift in their respective office market indicators.”

“In the U.S., the Federal Reserve continues to signal it will raise interest rates later this year, though slowly. And in July, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported the unemployment rate continued to fall in June. Amidst these signs of recovery, the U.S. office market continued to strengthen in the 12-month period ending June 30.

Meanwhile, Canada is seeing what has been described as a mild contraction, as the Bank of Canada made a further cut to interest rates and revised down its annual growth forecast. Employment levels have stalled through the first half of the year. The price of oil also has certainly affected some markets more than others – but overall, while vacancy is retreating in the U.S., it is starting to creep up in Canada,” says Rose.

According to the report, of the 50 office markets tracked by Avison Young in Canada, the U.S. and U.K., market-wide vacancy rates decreased by varying degrees in 34 (or more than twothirds) of the markets, on an annualized basis.

Development activity has surged, with almost 43 million square feet (msf) of office space completed across the 50 markets, up from 38 msf in the previous one-year period, while the under-construction tally is approaching the 100-msf mark – roughly 4 msf ahead of the 2014 pace.

CANADA Already contending with a burgeoning development pipeline, Canadian office market fundamentals faced additional headwinds from weaker-than-expected economic indicators through the first half of 2015. While performance was mixed among the 13 markets surveyed, depressed oil prices are taking a toll in Alberta – particularly Calgary. Meanwhile, workplace strategies and urban intensification continue, and Continued on page 54

as purely office development sites become increasingly scarce, urban renewal and mixed-use development – combining office, retail and residential – are found across many of Canada’s downtown markets.

“Improving market fundamentals in the U.S. office sector are a welcome relief, and though Canada’s sound property fundamentals are being tested as indicated by the latest results, it’s difficult not to take a glass-half-empty point of view,” states Bill Argeropoulos, Principal and Practice Leader, Research (Canada) for Avison Young.“No doubt, the plunge in the price of oil has shocked the system, suppressing GDP growth and keeping employment growth at bay. Commodity-based and development-laden markets will likely experience a flight to quality, making it difficult for landlords to maintain occupancy levels and generate any notable rental rate growth, thus shifting the tenant-landlord balance that some markets have enjoyed.”

› Quebec City (8.6 per cent) and Lethbridge (16.5 per cent) posted the lowest and highest vacancy rates, respectively; the greatest swing occurred in Calgary (11.5 per cent, +320 bps). › Weighed down by Calgary’s woes, Canada’s Western markets collectively saw vacancy spike 160 bps over the previous year to 10.3 per cent at mid-year 2015. Eastern markets witnessed a modest 30-bps bump to 10 per cent. › Downtown markets as a whole expanded, posting 8.8 per cent vacancy at mid-year 2015, up 160 bps year-over-year – more than half of the markets remained in single-digit territory.

Downtown vacancy jumped significantly in Calgary (10.7 per cent, +450 bps) and Vancouver (9.8 per cent, +340 bps). › Suburban markets recorded positive growth as vacancy retreated marginally (12.1 per cent, -20 bps), led by strong year-over-year absorption numbers from Toronto (13 per cent, -120 bps). Unlike downtown, less than half of the suburban markets displayed single-digit vacancy.

Continued on page 55

8177055_3315

Argeropoulos adds: “Notwithstanding some softening in the Canadian office sector, we expect the marketplace to stay active in coming quarters, supported by diverse local office market drivers. If we take the glass-half-full perspective, the markets have yet to realize the full benefits of the recent interest-rate cut and a low dollar. The wild card is that U.S.-based tenants continue to show considerable interest in expanding or establishing a foothold in major Canadian centres, a trend that has the potential to offset some of the negatives.”

NOTABLE FIRST-HALF 2015 CANADIAN OFFICE MARKET HIGHLIGHTS: › Varying and sporadic absorption levels, coupled with new office completions, lifted Canada’s overall vacancy rate 110 basis points (bps) from one year earlier to 10.3 per cent at the midway point of 2015. Vacancy climbed in 11 of 13 markets.

MANUFACTURING SECTOR RECOVERY SLOWS IN JULY: RBC PMI

T

he latest RBC PMI survey highlighted sustained expansion of production and new business volumes in July, which underpinned an improvement in operating conditions for the second month running.

Increased export sales continued to support the manufacturing sector rebound, though the overall speed of recovery slowed from the sixmonth high recorded in June.

A monthly survey, conducted in association with Markit, a leading global financial information services company, and the Supply Chain Management Association (SCMA), the RBCPMI offers a comprehensive and early indicator of trends in the Canadian manufacturing sector.

At 50.8 in July, the seasonally adjusted RBC Canadian Manufacturing PMI dipped from June’s six-month high of 51.3 but remained above the neutral 50.0 threshold. The latest reading was still stronger than the average for 2015 so far (49.9), and signaled a marginal upturn in manufacturing sector business conditions.

“The RBC PMI indicates a second consecutive month of improving business conditions in July though still at a very modest pace and slightly below that achieved in June,” said Paul Ferley assistant chief economist, RBC.“As we enter the second half the year, a strengthening U.S. economy and weaker Canadian dollar should provide a greater boost to exports and business conditions for manufacturers.”

The headline RBC PMI reflects changes in output, new orders, employment, inventories and supplier delivery times.

Key findings from the July survey included: › RBC Canadian Manufacturing PMI remained above the crucial 50.0 no-change mark › Output growth moderated from June’s six-month high Renewed fall in employment levels: A modest increase in production volumes kept the headline index above the critical 50.0 no-change mark in July. Manufacturing output has now expanded for three months running, which firms mainly linked to a slight rebound in client spending.

July data pointed to a marginal increase in overall new business volumes; however, the rate of expansion was unmoved from the marginal pace recorded in June. A further modest upturn in new export work continued to boost manufacturers’ order books. Anecdotal evidence mainly cited stronger demand from U.S. clients, helped in part by the

COM_3315.indd 58

weaker exchange rate. Manufacturers of consumer goods, especially those in the automotive sector, generally pointed to improving inflows of new work. That said, a number of manufacturers in the investment goods sector suggested that lower energy sector capital spending remained a drag on growth.

Despite rising levels of production and new work in July, the latest survey pointed to a renewed fall in staffing numbers across the manufacturing sector as a whole. Survey respondents that lowered their payroll numbers mostly pointed to the non-replacement of voluntary leavers in response to excess capacity. Backlogs of work meanwhile decreased for the eighth consecutive month in July, which is the longest continuous period since the survey began in October 2010.

Manufacturers in Canada remained cautious in terms of their inventory holdings in July, as highlighted by further slight falls in pre-production stocks and finished goods inventories.

However, the latest reductions were slower than those recorded in June. Meanwhile, suppliers’ lead-times continued to lengthen during July, which some manufacturers attributed to reduced stock holdings at vendors.

On the prices front, the latest survey highlighted a robust and accelerated increase in average cost burdens across the manufacturing sector. The rate of input price inflation was the fastest for three months, with a number of manufacturers noting higher prices for imported components and raw materials. Increased cost burdens in turn contributed to the most marked rate of factory gate price inflation since February.

Regional highlights include: › Ontario recorded the fastest upturn in overall manufacturing sector conditions in July › Alberta and British Columbia remained the worst performing region…but the latest deterioration in operating conditions was the least marked since February › Manufacturing jobs growth was strongest in Ontario, followed by Quebec “July’s survey highlights another steady upturn in manufacturing production and new order volumes, which leaves the sector well placed to remain on a recovery footing through the third quarter of 2015” said Cheryl Paradowski, president and chief executive officer, SCMA.“Exchange rate depreciation and stronger U.S. consumer spending continue to help shore up demand for Canadian manufactured goods, in turn offsetting some of the momentum lost from weaker energy sector spending patterns.”

arket rents are high, and that has created a heightened interest for investors. Returns and income are at a high point. And with supply and demand not in balance, the lack of supply will keep driving the prices up in most major markets.

The apartment business is booming across Canada.

The recent Colliers International 2014 Year End Multi-Family Market Overview ranks apartment blocks as the most stable investment asset in most of Canada’s major cities.

COM_3315.indd 60

So what’s so hot about rental?

Everything.

The past decade has been all about condo investment. Most cities have seen condo after condo be built and sold, with little more than a side note about new rental properties. Small investors were testing the waters, buying individual units. Larger investors were buying up multiple units. Pre-construction pricing was the in for a small downpayment, and post-construction assignment or maintaining a rental property income was the payoff.

Instead of quick turnaround, holding onto those rentals has proven lucrative.

The fact is, the apartment business has been steady and stable. With current vacancy levels so low, the demand for apartments is driving market rent sky high. The apartment business is becoming more lucrative than ever before. While short-term condo investment has garnered a good return in a short time frame, the apartment business is offering investors stable long-term returns, making it lucrative to tie up capital in large investments.

Interestingly, comparing apartment prices is done by ‘price per door.’ According to the Colliers Report, price per door has increased year-over-year by 4.98 per cent to $128,603 as the national average.

But some cities are far above the national average. Their higher price per door is much in line with the higher prices in their housing markets in genera – condo, home price and rental. Vancouver, Colliers has found, has the highest price per door – averaging $212,290. Of course, Toronto, with an average detached house price of $1Million is in close second, with an average price per door at $195,591. The deals are in Winnipeg and Montreal, where the average price per door is under $100,000.

While Montreal may seem a bit surprising, because of its higher vacancy rate, it has low market rents so the motivation to own rental market assets is weaker.

Utilize Private Funds In Your Real Estate Today!

Since private money can fund quickly, why not use this funding source to negotiate a better deal for a quick closing, and offset the additional interest rates? I personally am self-employed and I am an avid real estate investor who uses this technique all the time. I pay the going rates and still have a great success from real estate!

Example of how using private money worked for one of our clients: Purchased a power of sale vacant property: $550,000 Used private funding to close Used private funding for a renovation loan Renovated and leased the vacant space Appraised the property after the work was completed: New value $1,100,000 Refinanced with the bank Removed private money: now they have a beautiful property that is cash flowing and their initial investment has been returned!

Please note, first mortgage rates for a private loan average from 7-10% annually, second mortgage rates average from 10-15% annually. We can obtain up to 90% of the value of the property on approved credit. On average this is on higher side, however has been funded. Lender fee and broker fee will also apply.

Private money will fund land, gas stations, vacant properties, distressed properties, construction, and development amongst many others. If you are looking to buy a property and are hitting a wall with your funding, contact info@profunds.ca or reach us toll free at 1-888-330-3866 and we can perform an assessment on your deal today!

Why create a holding company?

By Jayson Schwarz

A

s businessmen and women we are often troubled as to the proper structure to use, in the operation and management of our active businesses.

This applies to every kind of active business, from manufacturers, to sales organizations. As a result we need to seek the advice of solid and knowledgeable accountants and lawyers to guide us. Today’s article will focus on the advantages of using a holding company behind the operational structure of your business.

Before we begin I need you to imagine a scenario where the business is run through an operating company (opco) and the shares opco are owned by a holding company (holdco).

For this discussion holdco is owned by you,

a) Inter-corporate dividends are tax free. This means that the money sitting in opco can be transferred by dividend to holdco generally without tax consequence; b) We have taken the cash from opco and put it in a place of safety. It has been virtually creditor proofed from creditors of opco; c) The money in opco is available to invest in other areas separate from opco such as other assets to diversify holdings. If excess earnings were paid directly from opco to the owner personally, to make those investments, the owner would either pay the personal marginal tax rate or the dividend tax rate after the funds being taxed corporately and this would leave less to reinvest: by using holdco reinvestment is more tax efficient; d) Tax savings may be had by income splitting through holdco. In other words if the owner’s wife and children over 18 are shareholders of holdco or through their family trust are shareholders, if not working or having low income, each may receive dividends of close to $50,000 with minimal tax consequence; e) The money may be loaned back to opco and security taken creating additional creditor proofing and maintaining cash in opco; f) The other benefit relates to timing. Money can be drawn from holdco as required and the owner, as an example, may choose to pay dividends every second year rather than every year allowing the owner to avoid paying quarterly personal tax instalments. It is possible to base instalments on either the previous year’s tax liability, or the current year’s expected liability.

If the owner has little or no tax liability every second year, instalments can be based on the year of low income expectation.

As you can see there are many benefits to using a holding company. Please meet with your professional advisor, either lawyer or accountant to assist you in achieving the proper structure for your business.

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 website (schwarzlaw.ca), email (schwarz@schwarzlaw.ca), or phone us at 1-888-609-8888 and give us your questions, concerns, critiques and quandaries. We will try to deal with them in print or electronic form.

the entrepreneur, the business owner. Each year opco earns a profit, pays its taxes and has cash sitting in the bank. Opco then issues a dividend to holdco. What does this do?
