Yes, the real estate condo market is HOT! Yes, You can flip your unit for immediate profit! Yes, You can rent your unit! Yes, Revenue Canada; affectionately referred to as CRA is made aware of the transaction. HOW you ask? You pay Land Transfer Tax on your purchase; Tarion Warranties apply.

Could have? Should Have?
Toronto real estate prices for detached properties show no sign of any price abatement.

toronto: Does HST Apply To A Seller Of A Condo Flip (Assignment)? - 03/29/12 06:35 AM
Inevitably, an offer to purchase an assignment property (often on an OREA form 140 or 141) by a buyer's sales representative will state that, if applicable, HST is included in the purchase price (as we typically see in any offer to buy resale residential properties). The sales representative who represents a seller of an assignment (and who is advising the seller) MUST be aware that according to the Canada Revenue Agency, there are sometimes situations where HST will, in fact, be applicable and payable by the assignor/seller who is assigning a contract to buy a newly constructed unit/residence.
When applicable, HST will … (0 comments)

toronto: How are Toronto condo Fees Calculated? - 03/26/12 06:23 AM
Q I do agree regarding the 20% of fee to be put into reserve fun, however, as a past condo owner, my question is where does the rest of money go? Our condo, new, started with $650.00 mon. fee and by third year was over $850.00, for 1100 sq. ft. No concierge full time, a party room you wouldn't want to place your pet in, small workout room topped with an obnoxious, bully of a pres. of the board. Boutique condos such as the one we owned are nice, but costly on the fees.
A Condo buildings are like a small business … (0 comments)

toronto: Increase Reserve Fund Minimums to 20% Toronto Condos - 03/25/12 08:09 AM
Condo Boards try to keep maintenance fees the lowest possible to spend the least amount of money. Unfortunately although well meaning it is misguided when 8 - 12 or 15 years later money is required and the Reserve Fund is in adequate. This results in borrowing additional money for specific repairs (requires a vote by a majority of owners) or a Special Assessment. Lawyer Derrick Fulton, an expert in condo law, said one major problem area is the Act’s requirement on reserve funds; currently, 10% of common element fees must go into a reserve, but he believes that number should be … (1 comments)

I pay for the Signs and Lock box
"listing" a house with a REALTOR entails a contract and Agency and disclosure. Measuring and Verifying data. POSTing an ad on a website and Print magazine is not a listing. Why do people keep saying that FSBO's are listed?

Lets have a look at and compare what makes the maintenance fees in your building. First Lets establish a few things, Your furnace unit consumes electricity; usually through a heat exchange unit in a central part of the condo or maybe you are blessed with two.
