LONDON •

Investors took advantage of improving market fundamentals and attractive financing in Q4 2019. This capped one of the strongest investment years to date for the region and cap rates remained relatively stable year-over-year.

•

Some larger institutions exited the London market in 2019, disposing primarily of non-core retail and office assets. These assets were acquired by a mix of local and GTA private investors.

•

As the retail market continues to redefine itself, investors are paying close attentnion to tenant mix.

•

A scarcity of quality investment product, particularly multifamily assets, has investors considering alternative product types or new construction.

Q4 2019 Canadian Cap Rates & Investment Insights | CBRE Research

WATERLOO Q4 2019 Canadian Cap Rates & Investment Insights | CBRE Research

•

The Waterloo Region market performed exceptionally well through 2019 across all asset classes. Demand remains elevated from a variety of investor groups.

•

Cap rates across all office, retail and multifamily subcategories declined in Q4 2019. Industrial and multifamily were the strongest asset classes and continue to lead the way in terms of investment yields.

•

New entrants and capital sources have made the investment climate extremely competitive and this dynamic looks poised to drive further cap rate compression in the year ahead.

•

With recent drops in both bond and lending rates, further downward pressure on cap rates will continue to drive values even higher.

Your Price for ‘Upside’ Finding Value in the Grey Areas By Cliff Ford, Skyview Realty

With the ever-increasing demand for multi-unit residential properties amongst investors, a trend has been emerging over the last number of years. Many properties, and certainly buildings with 30+ units, are seeing multiple offers as part of an open bid submission process. If you aren’t familiar with the bid submission process, it is the act of marketing a property for sale without providing a price. Typically, the Seller will provide all due diligence documents in advance of the offer deadline to allow buyers to determine what they are willing to offer on any given property. Sellers love this process as it can generally lead to multiple offers and can create a bidding war that drives up their end price. Buyers dislike this process, however, because they prefer to have some guidance on pricing going into the offer stage. As a brokerage, we are caught in the middle of wanting to deliver great results for our Seller and satisfying our buyer clients’ demands for more investment properties. What we have been noticing with these open bid properties is that ‘upside’ becomes a very common discussion point. The value a buyer places on the upside in a building can often become the factor that makes their offer stand out among the rest, at least as it relates to purchase price. When considering what the upside is on a property, its more than just rental rate upside, especially considering the lower vacancy rates seen in the Ontario market nowadays. Beyond the upside of what you could rent turned-over units for, investors are looking at upside in the utility consumptions by implementing programs to replace lighting with LED bulbs, installing Low-flow toilets in every unit, and investing in higher efficiency heating equipment. Upside can also be found in converting excess space in a building to either additional units, commercial space, or amenities that could draw in greater tenant rents. Sometimes even the location of the property itself

can have a form of upside for a particular buyer, in that they may own a building nearby and could create valued upside in the sharing of mutual expenses between each property. Whatever the upside factors may be on any particular property, when going into a purchase process, understanding what YOUR value is on the upside will give you a leg up when bidding against other buyers. It appears that, at least for the time being, the sale price of the property is no longer determined just by market comparable sales. It is now the grey areas of upside that are driving the prices higher. Of course if every seller had their way, the Buyer would be paying for 100% of the upside in their purchase price but realistic sellers also know that they need to leave something on the table for a buyer. As a buyer, you need to know what the upside is and how much you are willing to pay for that upside. It is a business decision that only you can determine based on your operations. To be fair when discussing bid submission processes, it should be stated that price may not always be the only factor when a seller chooses one offer to work with over another, but it is likely the most significant factor. As an example, buyers are becoming more and more organized in their purchasing processes in order to streamline their conditional periods and closing dates, as this can also help to achieve a sign back from a Seller when multiple offers are on the table. Especially if all offering prices are neck and neck, the terms of the offer becomes an important factor for a seller. You may not be a fan of the open bid submission process, but it appears as if this new trend will be sticking around. By doing proper due diligence upfront, good research on the property’s market, and determining the price you want to pay for the upside, you can still achieve great acquisitions in this tight and highly sought after investment class.

RENTING OUT

YOUR CONDOMINIUM

BY JACQUELINE MONETA JD WITH ASSISTANCE FROM JAYSON SCHWARZ LLM

Buying a condominium as a rental property can be a great investment, but now that you’re a landlord, it’s important to understand the rules and regulations that govern you and your tenant. What rules apply? All landlords and tenants are governed by the Residential Tenancy Act, 2006 (RTA). The RTA outlines the rights and responsibilities of landlords and of tenants who rent residential properties. It also covers the leasing agreement and issues such as maintenance and repairs, tenancy agreements, rent, entering a rental unit and ending a tenancy. In a condo building, the Condominium Act, 1998 also applies. The Condominium Act sets out the relationship between the owners, condo corporation and board of directors. This means that you have to give your tenants a copy of the condo rules and make sure they adhere to them. The condominium corporation may have its own rules on rentals as well, which could include a minimum number of months for the rental and other obligations. It is important to read your condo rules prior to entering any lease agreement.

Do tenants have access to amenities? Tenants must follow the same rules as owners, and have the same rights as owners when using building amenities. 12

However, parking spaces and/or lockers can be included in the lease agreement at the discretion of the unit owner. Owners can choose to retain those for themselves or rent them to another tenant.

How much can you charge? When you’re renting a unit to a new tenant, you can set the rent based on current market prices. There is no maximum. The market price for a unit may be higher than that paid by a previous tenant. The RTA covers most types of rental units. Generally, landlords can increase rent: • only once every 12 months; • with 90 days written notice; and • based on the guidelines set for that year by the Ontario Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing.

Subletting and short-term rentals What if your company sends you for three months of training in another city? It is becoming more and more popular to list your condo on a shortterm rental site to make some money while you are away. Be careful; lots of new condos have specific rules governing shortterm rentals, such as a minimum number of months on a lease.

COMMERCIAL INVESTOR | Commercial Real Estate & Business Opportunities

When buying an income property, it is important to read the rules prior to firming up your deal, and express this intention clearly to your realtor and lawyer. These rules prevent owners from converting their units into a vacation rental. Condo declarations can also spell out requirements, such as each unit shall be occupied and used only as a private single-family residence. If you’re renting out a unit for a longer term, any tenants have to abide by the terms of the rules and declaration, too. Therefore, a tenant cannot lease the unit out for shortterm stays. If you decide to sublet your unit, notify your insurance company to see if and how your policy covers damage caused by tenants. When renting out your condo unit, you are responsible for following the rules of the corporation. Always check the rules to make sure you’re not in violation. Make it clear in your rental agreement that your tenant is bound by the condo rules, and give them a copy. A condo can make a great investment, but you’ll save time and money if you put in some work at the beginning to understand your rights and responsibilities as a landlord. CI June 20–July 18, 2020

Should you buy a business?

Buying a business rather than starting one from scratch allows you to skip the expensive – and risky – start-up stage. Given the stakes, it’s important to thoroughly weigh your business goals, risk tolerance and market opportunities before making an acquisition. Here are some pros and cons of buying a business. Pros 1. Track record – Buying a business gives you an established customer base, team, business plan and operation. No need to start from scratch. 2. Income – The best acquisition targets are likely to already have solid sales and profits. A new venture, on the other hand, can take a long time to build revenue and become profitable, and the risk of failure is significant. Only about half of Canadian start-ups are still operating after five years, according to Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada. 3. Financing – The assets of the company you are buying can be used to help secure financing needed for the purchase. Lenders 16

are less likely to take a chance on a start-up. 4. Vendor assistance – Existing owners often help finance the purchase of their business by providing vendor financing. Besides being a good source of patient capital, the vendor’s investment provides motivation to the former owner to help make a smooth transition. 5. Market knowledge – Acquisition may be a good strategy if you want to expand into a new industry or geographic location where you lack contacts and knowledge.

Cons 1. Poor fit – It can be difficult to find the right company to acquire – one that is a good fit with your existing

COMMERCIAL INVESTOR | Commercial Real Estate & Business Opportunities

business culture and strategic goals. A poor choice can cause the acquisition to become a sinkhole for your time, money and other resources. 2. Integration challenges – Integrating a new company into your existing operations can be harder and more time consuming than entrepreneurs realize. Expected payoffs often don’t materialize as quickly as planned. 3. Vision conflict – It may be harder to impose your vision on a company that already has its own culture and history than if you were to expand a business you already own. Some entrepreneurs like the challenge and excitement of starting an entirely new company or embarking on an expansion where they can put their stamp on from the beginning. 4. Dependence on the old guard – A rocky ownership change can prompt key staff to leave and imperil customer relationships. That can be especially problematic in a business that is highly dependent on the involvement of the owner or certain employees. The decision may rest on market and growth opportunities. Acquisition may be a good strategy if prospective companies are undervalued because of market conditions. Conversely, if valuations are high, you may need to obtain more financing, potentially reducing the long-term returns from the acquisition. Whatever your decision, the project will have a greater chance of succeeding if you have a clear, detailed understanding of why you are proceeding and how the venture will meet your business goals.

Seven low-cost marketing strategies businesssavvy

You know it’s going to take a marketing push to meet your sales goals this year. But your budget is tight and you’ll need to use your imagination to make it happen. Where to start? For many business owners, marketing doesn’t come naturally. They lurch from one tactic to another without a clear idea of whether the efforts are going to pay off in higher sales. If that description sounds familiar, here are some time-tested, low-cost techniques to improve your marketing and help you reach your goals.

1. CONDUCT A SURVEY It’s critical to create a marketing plan before moving on to tactics. And the first step in developing a marketing plan is to understand who your target customers are and what they want from your company. A good way to gain a better understanding of your customers is to conduct a survey about your products or services. If you can’t afford to hire a research company, do it yourself by creating a short questionnaire and recruiting existing and prospective customers to participate.

2. PAMPER YOUR EXISTING CUSTOMERS It’s typically five times as expensive to make a sale to a new customer as it is to an existing one. So, make sure you’re not neglecting the people who already know and trust you. Consider, for example, taking your best customers out to dinner or golf and using the opportunity to ask them about how to improve your business. You could also personally write to your top 10 customers to thank them

and tell them they’re part of your new loyalty program or invite them to a sneak preview of your latest product.

3. COMMIT TO ONLINE MARKETING The Internet provides you with an inexpensive 24-hour virtual storefront. You can build relationships with prospective customers by offering them high-quality content on your site such as blogs, how-to articles, videos and a newsletter. You can also extend your reach by using social media. One word of caution however: If you’re not willing to devote six to eight hours a week of an employee’s time, you’re better off going with a simple, welldesigned website.

4. USE ALL YOUR REAL ESTATE Your building and surrounding land or sidewalk are great places to put up signs and banners. And don’t forget to use your vehicles as moving billboards. But remember: Your images and messages should focus on what you’re selling, not your company’s name.

5. WORK AT PUBLIC RELATIONS A media story about your company is generally much more valuable than an advertisement because of the credibility it confers on your business. But in this era of media cutbacks, it’s

harder than ever to attract journalists’ attention. Keep in mind that they’re looking for a compelling story to tell. So, help them by letting them know about your innovative product, unusual customer contact or high-stakes gamble that paid off. And keep at it – building relationships with the media will pay off.

6. TURN EMPLOYEES INTO AMBASSADORS Your employees are part of the community and have all sorts of contacts that could help you. How about inviting employees and their extended families to a fun event at your business? You may find you get new word-of-mouth business or hear about a potential new business partner. At the very least, your team will come back to work on Monday feeling energized.

A good way to gain a better understanding of your customers is to conduct a survey about your products or services.

7. GIVE BACK By sponsoring a hockey team or participating in a charity drive with a cheque and a collection jar in your lunch room or by the cash register, you’re not only doing your part for the community, but also generating goodwill with customers and prospects. CI Source: BDC.ca

Tips on how to choose 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. “A group insurance plan can be a flexible and affordable way to enhance your total compensation package,” explains John Carinci, VP and head, operations and client experience, 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 20

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

COMMERCIAL INVESTOR | Commercial Real Estate & Business Opportunities

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. CI For more information, visit rbcinsurance. com/groupbenefits June 20–July 18, 2020
