editor’snote

Before you buy, here’s some

“HOME” WORK

re you ready to buy a home? There is some work to do before rushing into the market. Take the time before you start the home hunt to visit the bank or your mortgage broker for a pre-approved mortgage. Not only will this define what you can afford, but it also locks you into today’s low rates for 90 days or more. Having that extra peace of mind is a good thing when you’re searching for the perfect home. If you’re looking at homes that require a possible renovation, take this into account as part of the purchase price as well. Since price is the driving factor, once you have an idea of what your budget will be, compare what you’ll get in the locations that interest you most to see what’s available. If you’re a first-time buyer with a limited budget, consider living a little outside of your location of choice. It will mean getting a lot more home for a lot less money until you’ve built up enough equity to make a strategic move to your preferred location. Do your research and don’t fall victim to “over-analysis paralysis.” Once you find the home that meets your wants and needs, remember the “here today, gone tomorrow” scenario. Chances are, if you’ve found the perfect home, others could be seriously considering it too. Happy holidays, and good luck in the home hunt!

Thinking of buying an

INVESTMENT PROPERTY?

f you’re thinking about buying an investment property, good for you! When you’re in it for the long haul and you’ve done your homework, a real estate investment can be a very smart way to make money. Someone else pays down the mortgage (in the form of rent) and when you’re ready to sell, you pocket the profits. But before you set your sights on a rental property, here are some things to consider. The minimum downpayment required to buy an investment property is 20 per cent of the purchase price. Ensure you can afford it, and have a contingency fund to cover mortgage payments if you don’t have the place rented out immediately. Which brings us to the next point, finding the right renter. Find someone who is financially reliable and will respect their home – your property. Conduct a background check through a reputable credit bureau like Equifax or TransUnion, and check references. Think about the type of homes and the areas that will be most in demand. An investment property isn’t much good if you can’t find tenants. If you’re renting out a secondary suite in your own home, ensure it complies with municipal bylaws. Notify your insurance company about your rental plans, and find out what kind of coverage you’ll need and what this covers. If your rental unit isn’t up to code, you won’t be able to get insurance. Last but not least, do you plan on maintaining the property yourself? Being a landlord can be a full-time job (for many, it is!). Are you prepared to take emergency calls in the middle of the night, and do regular maintenance required on the home and property? You might consider hiring a property manager to take care of the day-to-day tasks. Remember that real estate is not a get-rich-quick scheme. If you’re in it for the long term, the return could be your golden road to future financial freedom.

City of toronto

During the first 14 days of November 2013, sales reported through the Toronto Multiple Listing Service (MLS) system for Halton Region rose 38 per cent to 227, compared to 165 transactions a year earlier. Over the same time period, new listings were down 12 per cent to 312. “The annual rate of sales growth remained strong and continued to outpace that of listings,” says Jason Mercer, senior manager of market analysis at the Toronto Real Estate Board (TREB). “This suggests that competition between buyers increased, at least in some segments of the market.” The average mid-month selling price in Halton was $553,146 – down one per cent from the average of $558,135 reported during the first half of Nov. 2012. “Given that market conditions tightened in Halton Region, the dip in the average selling price in the first half of November was likely compositional in nature, with a greater share of transactions accounted for by higher-end homes during the same period last year. Looking forward, tight market conditions will continue to drive average price growth above the rate of inflation, albeit with some month-to-month volatility based on the mix of homes sold,” notes Mercer.

TREB reported 654 sales through the Toronto MLS system for Peel Region/ Orangeville during the first half of November 2013, representing a 23-percent increase compared to 530 sales reported during the same time in 2012. New listings were also up over 2012, but by a lower annual rate of five per cent. “Many households throughout the Greater Toronto Area, including Peel Region and Orangeville, remain comfortable with the costs of home ownership. Even with the recent uptick in borrowing costs, buyers are finding monthly mortgage principal and interest payments manageable,” says Mercer. The average selling price for November mid-month sales in Peel Region/Orangeville was up by one per cent year over year to $439,042. “The annual rate of price growth in Peel Region and Orangeville was up by less than the GTA average during the first half of November. This was due to a change in the mix of homes sold this year compared to last, with a greater share of luxury homes selling last year. Given that market conditions have tightened in Peel Region and Orangeville, we should see a return to above-inflation price increases moving forward,” says Mercer.

Toronto Multiple Listing Service (MLS) sales in Toronto for the first two weeks of November 2013 rose 23 per cent year over year to 1,259. New listings, at 2,049, were down by seven per cent compared to the first half of November 2012. “The story in the City of Toronto over the past year has been the constrained supply of listings for single-detached and semi-detached houses and townhomes. At the same time, demand for these types of homes has increased. With heightened competition between buyers, it makes sense that we saw double-digit year-overyear price growth in the city for the first half of November,” says Jason Mercer, senior manager of market analysis at the Toronto Real Estate Board (TREB). The average selling price for November mid-month sales in the city of Toronto was $598,924 – up 15 per cent compared to the average of $518,825 reported for the first half of November in 2012. “Annual increases in the average selling price were also reported for condominium apartments. While this market segment has been well-supplied because of new project completions, we have seen enough demand to prompt growth in prices in the second half of 2013,” continues Mercer.

senior manager of market analysis at the Toronto Real Estate Board (TREB). The average selling price for November mid-month sales in the city of Toronto was $598,924 – up 15 per cent compared to the average of $518,825 reported for the first half of November 2012. “Annual increases in the average selling price were also reported for condominium apartments. While this market segment has been well-supplied because of new project completions, we have seen enough demand to prompt growth in prices in the second half of 2013,” continues Mercer.

New book offers the low-down on the

real risks and rewards of investing in real estate by susan Legge

you will have to work for it,” says Julie. The book covers plenty of ground, including ways to increase cash-flow using rent-to-own strategies; tips on finding and keeping tenants; the low-down on property managers; and ideas about where to invest. There’s even a chapter on female intuition – love that! Much of the advice comes from the real-life adventures of Julie’s own investments with (and without) her husband Dave. Interestingly, the couple’s most successful investments were mutually agreed upon at the get-go. When I asked Julie about the time commitment an income property demands, she said it depends on how many properties you have and whether you hire someone to oversee tasks like finding tenants and property maintenance. “It may take an hour or two a month, or it could be a full-time job,” she said. And costs can add up. Placement management fees, for example, can take a chunk of cash out of your pocket but the time you save on getting the right tenant may be well worth the investment, particularly if you’re looking at a property that’s difficult to rent or if you can’t spare the time yourself to show the property to potential tenants.

ou’ve seen how easy renovating and flipping real estate properties is on TV, and you know you’d make the perfect landlord while making piles of money, right? Now give your head a shake and check out Julie Broad’s new book or switch the channel. Julie’s book, More Than Cashflow: The Real Risks & Rewards of Profitable Real Estate Investing, puts some muchneeded advice into the hands of wannabe real estate investors considering making a career out of building a profitable portfolio of properties. A Canadian investor herself, Julie took a step-by-step approach with her new book – which went to number one on Amazon.ca – by providing some basic strategies and fundamentals about the Canadian investment market, and she did it without pulling any punches. “We help you get into real estate investing without the hype that comes with far too many newsletters, blogs and programs in the market today. But 42

Condo or freehold? When asked about the difference between buying a home or a condo as an investment, Julie says she prefers a condo fee-free investment. “You can control the costs of a freehold investment,” but even a freehold home has its caveats, she said. “If it’s not a solid, well cared-for property, for example, recovering the costs of a new roof can take several years.” Overall, investors should look at a property before purchasing it based on three strategies: • Will the property appreciate over time? • Will you be paying down the mortgage quickly using the rental income? • Will you be creating positive cash flow? Rent-to-own More popular in Toronto than elsewhere, the rent-to-own strategy of purchasing a home is still an option, as people see that the Canadian real estate market is strong and the likelihood that home prices will increase is high. The rent-toown scenario is a good one if you’re thinking about buying a property with the idea of selling to the tenant using the rental income, but you need to be sure to have a proper legal agreement in place, says Julie. “If the tenant suddenly decides the property isn’t worth buying, what recourse do you have if they walk away?” Get educated When it comes to getting more info and a better understanding of your local investment market, Julie suggests websites such as meetup.com, which often have specific networking opportunities for investors. Hearing about others’ experiences is the best way to learn, and getting suggestions from those who have been there and grown from the experience is a great way to avoid pitfalls. Since it takes more than the length of an average TV show to become an investment expert, folks like Julie who offer their own real-world accounts of both successful and unsuccessful strategies are essential to any future flipping star. Julie’s book is available on her website, revnyou.com, or online at indigo.ca and amazon.ca.

Rental applications:

how can landlords retain deposits? b y J a y s o n s c h wa r z & K o n s t a n t i n e c h a t z i d i m o s

f you are reading this article you may currently own or may be considering acquiring a residential investment property. Ownership of such properties typically involves the vetting of prospective tenancy candidates via a rental application process followed by the negotiation of a formal lease. This article discusses a recent decision of the Ontario Court of Appeal which explored the meaning of the term ‘rent deposit’. The court’s decision may surprise you. Musilla v. avcan ManageMent inc.

In this case Sarah Musilla filled out a rental application form for a one-year tenancy and provided it to the landlord along with the required deposit cheque equivalent to one month’s rent. Six weeks before the tenancy was to have commenced, she backed out of the agreement and refused to sign the lease as contemplated in the rental application. She never took possession of the property. Ms. Musilla then sued to get her deposit back. This would seem like an easy one for the Landlord but not so. At the Landlord and Tenant Board (the “Board”) and the Ontario Divisional Court Ms. Musilla relied on subsection 107(1) of the Residential Tenancies Act (“RTA”) which states that a landlord “…shall repay the amount received as a rent deposit in respect of a rental unit if vacant possession of the unit is not given to the prospective tenant.” Ms. Musilla argued that she was entitled to a refund because she had not taken possession of the unit – regardless of the reason why. The Board and Divisional Court disagreed and held that tenants cannot unilaterally terminate tenancies prior to taking possession and then claim the deposit back. It makes sense for the Landlord to keep the deposit... Well, not for Ms. Musilla, who appealed to the Ontario Court of Appeal. The Court considered whether the deposit provided by Ms. Musilla actually represented a “security deposit”. The Court reasoned that the rental application signed by Ms. Musilla was not a lease; this was confirmed by the wording on the very application form which contemplated that an accepted prospective tenant would execute a formal lease prior to moving in. Moreover, the RTA states that payment of last month’s rent is the only circumstance where a landlord can retain a “security deposit”. As such, the deposit provided by Ms. Musilla with her rental application did not constitute a “security deposit” as there was no tenancy established at that

Rental application forms such as the one considered in this case are commonly used by landlords as a way of vetting potential tenants; deposit cheques are typically provided with such applications. point given no lease was signed. The result in this case was that Avcan Management Inc. was not authorized under the RTA to keep Ms. Musilla’s money for her failure to enter into the lease. conclusion

Rental application forms such as the one considered in this case are commonly used by landlords as a way of vetting potential tenants; deposit cheques are typically provided with such applications. As you can appreciate, the Court’s recent decision in this matter has potential to create problems vis-à-vis this established practice. Deposits are required so as to establish that prospective tenants are serious in applying to rent a unit as well as to incentivize landlords into holding the desired units. It will be interesting to see how this decision affects matters going forward. If you are a prospective residential landlord, it may not be a bad idea to have your rental application form reviewed by a lawyer experienced in this field as it seems that the Court’s decision applies only to situations where it is unclear whether a deposit may be returned if a lease is not entered into.

packing tips to make your move a little easier ❏ Gather boxes in all sizes from friends, neighbors, and stores.

❏ Label boxes containing fragile items with large red lettering.

❏ Collect cushioning material such as bubble wrap, foam pellets, furniture pads, old blankets, plastic bags, tissue paper, newspapers, and small towels to use as padding inside boxes.

❏ Place china in plastic bags and stack plates upright on their sides, not flat.

❏ Create a “portable packing kit” with marking pens, a tape measure, packing tape, twine, and scissors. Carry it with you as you pack up items around your home.

❏ Keep boxes to 50 pounds or less.

❏ Reinforce the bottom of boxes with extra tape for added strength.

❏ Pack heavy items into their own smaller boxes and place lighter items together into larger boxes. (Hint: Don’t pack all your books into one box!)

❏ Label each box with the name of the room in your new home where it should be placed.

❏ Don’t move flammable, combustible, corrosive, or explosive items such as paint, gasoline, and ammunition.

❏ List the contents of the box on the side of it.

❏ Pack a bag of personal items you’ll need during the move (change of clothes, toiletries, medicine, maps, food, and drinks). Keep it in an easy-to-find place when you pack.

❏ Number the boxes and keep a list of which boxes go in which room in your new home. 54

❏ Pack your TV, stereo, and computer in their original boxes whenever possible.

City Hall should do the right thing:

Phase out Land Transfer Tax By Dia n ne Usher

wning a home is a good thing, not just for your financial well-being and quality of life, but also for the success of our city as a whole. It benefits our city through pride of ownership, a vibrant population, and the economic activity associated with home purchases. So why, then, does Toronto City Hall make it tougher for you to own a home, in our great city, with its back-breaking Land Transfer Tax? Shouldn’t they be making it easier, instead of more difficult? Toronto is the only municipality in Ontario where homebuyers are forced to pay a municipal Land Transfer Tax in addition to the provincial one. That means that someone buying an average detached Toronto home has to pay over $25,820 in combined Land Transfer Taxes. That’s the highest in North America. And the news gets worse: this tax has to be paid in full, up front, as a closing cost, and it can’t be tacked on to a mortgage.

Toronto is the only municipality in Ontario where homebuyers are forced to pay a municipal Land Transfer Tax in addition to the provincial one What is most upsetting about the Land Transfer Tax is that it hurts people when they can least afford it. It affects people like growing families, who need to move to meet their changing needs and priorities; retirees who are making necessary changes to their living arrangements and have to sacrifice their savings; and even many firsttime buyers, struggling to save for the dream of home ownership, have to pay. That’s not right. It’s also not right that City Hall has been collecting more than budgeted from the Land Transfer Tax, every year since it has been in place. In fact, since this tax took effect, City Hall has collected over $300 million more than budgeted for it! Simply put, that means one thing: overtaxation. That surplus belongs to Toronto homebuyers, including the growing families, retirees, and first-time buyers who are just trying to meet their needs.

A recent poll found that, if homebuyers had that money back, 56 per cent of them would have put it toward their downpayment so that they are not saddled with as much mortgage. The amount that City Hall collects in Land Transfer Tax from each average resale home purchase has increased a shocking 78 per cent since the tax took effect in 2008, more than twice the rate of home price increases! That means that City Hall has been milking the Land Transfer Tax at a rate that greatly outpaces inflation. For all of these reasons, realtors have consistently and loudly called for City Hall to phase-out the Toronto Land Transfer Tax. We will continue to do so, and encourage you to join us. It is expected that City Council will debate an initial cut to this unfair tax soon, but they need to hear from you to make that happen. Your voice counts! Tell City Council to do the right thing and phase out the Toronto Land Transfer Tax. You can do so quickly and easily at LetsGetThisRightToronto.ca.

*The following Simcoe County municipalities are included in this table: Adjala-Tosorontio, Bradford West Gwillimbury, Essa, Innisfil, New Tecumseth *The Average Days on Market statistic is rounded to the nearest whole number.

What’s available and What it Costs During the first two weeks of November 2013, combined Toronto Multiple Listing Service (MLS) sales in York Region and Simcoe County rose 26 per cent year over year to 650. New listings were down by six per cent to 977 over the same period. This suggests that market conditions tightened. “Demand for ownership housing in York Region remains strong. Despite stricter mortgage lending guidelines and an uptick in borrowing costs, homebuyers have become increasingly active in the market after taking a brief hiatus to reassess their situation in the second half of 2012 and first half of 2013. Buyers have determined that home ownership remains affordable,” says Jason Mercer, senior manager of market analysis at the Toronto Real Estate Board (TREB). 62

The combined average selling price for York Region and Simcoe County was $609, 623 for the first 14 days of November, representing a 12-per-cent increase from an average of $545,656 reported for the same period in November 2012. “With sales up substantially and the number of new listings down, competition between buyers in many parts of York Region and Simcoe County has increased. The result has been strong upward pressure on the average selling price. In addition, deals have taken less time to complete compared to last year, with the average number of days a home remained on the market down in comparison to last year,” Mercer adds.

*The Average Days on Market statistic is rounded to the nearest whole number.

What’s available and What it Costs Sales through the Toronto Multiple Listing Service (MLS) system for Durham Region amounted to 341 during the first 14 days of November. This result was down by two per cent in comparison to the same period in 2012. New listings were also down on a year-over-year basis, but by a greater rate of five per cent to 495. “While sales were down on an annual basis during the first half of November, this is likely due to month-to-month volatility and the fact that listings were down, suggesting that some would-be buyers could not find a home that met their needs. In fact, if not for the GTA-wide shortage of listings, we 66

would in all likelihood have reported even stronger growth in sales this year,” says Jason Mercer, senior manager of market analysis at the Toronto Real Estate Board (TREB). The average selling price in Durham for November mid-month sales was up five per cent year over year to $362,748, compared to $344,358 last year. “Market conditions have tightened in Durham region in the second half of 2013, with fewer properties for buyers to choose from. This has led to an average annual rate of price increase well above the rate of inflation,” continues Mercer.

The hot world of

Income Property

PROS: » Big rental potential – You can rent by the room, which increases your bottom line. » Expensive fi nishes not needed – Units need to be functional, clean and well done, but high-end materials won’t give you a return on investment. » School nearby means guaranteed tenants – I’ve yet to find a University/ College town that didn’t lack student housing. You’ll have no problem finding tenants. » Parents – You can ask that parents co-sign the lease, so the default rate is very low. » Predictable rental cycle – School year starts, school year ends. Leases start and end at the same time every year. CONS: » High turnover – You might only need to worry about renting once a year, but that still means a lot of applications and a lot of screening. » Not a lot of pride in rentership – It’s true, students aren’t always great at taking care of their temporary home, and not always the most responsible tenants. » Maintenance – Student rentals require a lot of it, mostly due to turnover and neglect. » Tenants require more “baby sitting”– You have to keep in mind that your tenants are often leaving mom and dad’s house and moving into yours. This means that even simple things like changing light bulbs or tripped breakers may need your attention.

B Y S C O T T M C G I L L I V R AY

ith 12 years of real estate investing and seven seasons of Income Property under my belt, I’ve learned a thing or two about investment properties. I encourage everyone I meet to jump into the game and become a landlord, but rentals aren’t one-size-fits-all. Before taking the cheques to the bank, decide what kind of landlord you’re going to be.

1. Student rentals These are my bread and butter, and where I started my real estate investment career. There’s great income potential here if you’re willing to roll up your sleeves and do the work. 70

2. Executive rentals Whether it’s a business in town for work, or movie crews on location, these can bring in big bucks, but also cost more up front. PROS: » Big money – These can get double or even triple what the same space would rent for in a regular rental situation. » Higher profi le tenant – Generally speaking, you don’t have to be concerned about the quality of tenant.

» Guaranteed income – Depending on provincial rules, you may be able to collect all your rent up front (if it’s a shortterm lease) and collect a damage deposit. » Profit – You usually only need to rent for half the year to make one. CONS: » High turnover – Most executive rentals are short-term leases, so turnover is constant. » Unpredictable – Because of the nature of executive rentals, it won’t always be rented and there’s no certainty about when it will be. » The bells & whistles – High-end finishes, nice furniture, linens, towels, dishes – they all need to be included. Throw in utilities, cable, Internet, and regular cleaning service and it really starts to add up. » Posting, applications and screening – Due to high turnover, landlords are constantly in a cycle of posting the apartment for rent, reviewing applications and screening tenants. Some people hire a management company to take care of this, but if you choose to do so, that’s another cost. 3. Secondary suites Definitely the most common rental scenario we see on Income Property. PROS: » Longest-term rental scenario – Tenants are likely to stay longer and take better care of the space.

» Passive rental – Secondary suites don’t take a lot of time and energy. » Instant rental situation – You don’t have to buy another property to get a rental happening. Have a basement you can make into a legal apartment? You can be a landlord! » Return on investment – Adding a secondary suite typically adds a lot of value to your property. » High demand – When done legally and safely, they attract tenants everywhere. You don’t have to be downtown like an executive rental or near a school like a student rental. CONS: » Lower cash flow – You won’t bring in as much rent as you would with other types of properties. » Learning to share – You’ll be sharing your home with other people, which can be inconvenient at times. » Reno time – Unless there’s one existing, putting a secondary suite into your home requires a significant renovation..
