Bring your investments closer

If we’re going to get confidence and take advantage of this new investment climate, we need to become skeptical. We must question what we are told and what we are promised. We need to understand what we are investing in and why and how it makes a profit.

We should choose investments based on a sound fundamental strategy and not compare them solely by returns or past history; some of the ‘best performing’ and oldest investment firms have recently collapsed.

We need to bring our Investments closer to us.

Alberta on Sale


There is a gap between current real estate values and where trend lines point. Here is a look at where prices were and where they’re going.

“Most people get interested in stocks [or real estate] when everyone else is. The time to get interest is when no one else is. You can’t buy what is popular and do well.” – Warren Buffet
 

Alberta is on sale. We’re at the beginning of another promising market cycle. Whether you think Alberta’s economy will boom like the 2000’s or grow steadily like the ‘80s and ‘90s, there is a gap between current real estate values and where trend lines point.

Why Multi-family apartments?

Slow. Steady. Sizzling.
Why multi-family apartments are our favourite asset class in any market cycle.

Everyone needs a place to live, regardless of the current economic cycle.Why we like multi-family apartment buildings: 

Lower purchase price, same rent

Due to higher economies of scale, the ‘per door’ cost of an apartment unit is less than a single family home or condo, but can generate the same rental income.

For example, you can buy an apartment building for $90K–$100K per door that rents for $800 per month, or you can buy a condo worth $150K–200K that rents for a similar $800–$1,000 per month. This means you can have almost double the rent for the same amount of investment capital, assuming you have enough to buy the apartment building.

Less vacancy risk
Apartment vacancies are far easier to manage. If you own a rental property and your only tenant can’t pay their rent, you have a risk exposure of 100%, and you’re now paying all operating expenses (mortgage, taxes, etc). When you own an apartment building and tenant doesn’t pay their rent, the rest of your tenants still cover operating expenses. The chance of every tenant in the building failing to pay rent is almost zero.

Lower operating costs
Lower operating costs increase your cash-flow. Apartment buildings share electrical, plumbing, heating systems and more across all units, which reduces maintenance costs. The most obvious example would be that everyone shares one roof.

Easier management
When you own an apartment building, professional third party management and on-site caretakers become a reality. All tasks (rent collection, maintenance, etc) are handled at one location for all tenants. If you own a single family home or condo, finding third party management can be nearly impossible as they can’t work efficiently enough to make an attractive profit.
