commercial real estate for sale london ontario: An 80/20 Rule For Income Property - 11/29/10 03:58 AM
     If you own rental real estate, you probably have a few "war" stories to tell of tenants from you-know-where. Most investors have these war stories about problem tenants, and in most cases these stories involve the investor losing time and money.
   Looking back, I can clearly see that most rental property "war" stories have a common theme. The common theme from every story or problem is:   Selecting the Wrong Tenant.     The 80/20 Rule, also known as Paretto's Principle, states that for many events, roughly 80% of the effects come from 20% of the causes. In rental real … (11 comments)

commercial real estate for sale london ontario: In Real Estate, Who Should You Take Advice From? - 08/26/10 03:53 AM
I was helping an agent in my office today with her frustrations in dealing with a couple who were getting advice from a multitude of sources. In the end, her transaction fell through and the young buyers are so confused, discouraged and scared that they will put off purchasing soon.
To disguise this couple and my agent here are some comments I have heard from both buyers and sellers:
Always go in with your first offer at least 25% less than asking. ( When asked, this father last purchased a home in 1974 and "That's what everyone does!". We want some … (16 comments)

commercial real estate for sale london ontario: Reliance on U.S. Growth - 08/20/10 10:12 AM
Canadians had better start following the growing fears of a double-dip U.S. recession. The health of our economy in Ontario is more closely tied to the overall U.S. economy than most provinces or for that matter, most U.S. states.
If the world's largest economy tanks (U.S.), trade dependent Ontario falls harder than places not as reliant on U.S. growth.
Below is how dependent Ontario, other key U.S. trading partners and other provinces are on the U.S. growth for their own economic growth.
Ontario 80.8% Quebec 75.3% Michigan 68.7% Ohio 68% New York 59.1% British Columbia 57.6% Alberta 56.8% Pennsylvania 55.8% This … (7 comments)

commercial real estate for sale london ontario: How Property Assessment in Ontario is Calculated - 01/14/10 04:51 AM
Property Assessment in Ontario

The Government of Ontario has made a number of changes to the property assessment system that
went into effect in the 2009 property tax year. These changes include the introduction of a four-yearassessment update cycle and a phase-in of assessment increases.
I am constantly asked how MPAC comes up with their assesments and why that property is assessed that way and why another is assessed at a different price. Hopefully the following will help.
Currently, the assessed value of properties in Ontario is based on a January 1, 2008 valuation date. MPAC's last province-wide assessment update … (12 comments)

commercial real estate for sale london ontario: Real Estate's Investing Comfort Level vs Stock Market - 01/03/10 05:13 AM
    For decades, real estate has been one of the most reliable and dramatic wealth generators for millions of people - and despite the slump experienced in some recently booming areas, many parts of the country continue to experience price appreciation.
 Real estate markets with steady, solid growth present little risk to mortgage lenders, so it makes sense for them to loan money to investorson attractive terms.I know, all we are hearing for the last 9 months is about foreclosures and bank sales going on but this is an anomaly and not brought on by normal market conditions. This was brought on … (0 comments)

commercial real estate for sale london ontario: Why Cash Flow in Real Estate Tops the Stock Market - 01/01/10 03:52 AM
Most stock market investors will pay 100 percent of the share price for a stock (investors who don't mind the risk of margin calls can buy many stocks for 50 percent down), while real estate investors typically need to put down only five to 10 percent with no risk of margin calls.
 To illustrate, Investor "A" buys $100,000 worth of stock that appreciates an average of 10 percent annually. At the end of five years, Investor "A" would have stock valued in excess of $160,000 - a gain in excess of 60 percent.
 Likewise, Investor "B" invests $100,000 in real estate. … (6 comments)

 The Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC)released its Fall 2009 Rental Market Report for the London Census Metropolitan Area.  Highlights of the Report are as follows:
• London Ontario  vacancy rate moved up to five per cent. Movement of households from rental to ownership, a soft youth labour market and more rental apartment completions contributed to this increase in the vacancy rate.
• The average two-bedroom rent in 2009  increased by 1.2 per cent.
"The increase in supply outstripped demand growth. As a result, the vacancy rate increased," said David Lan CMHC's … (5 comments)
