As the books closed on another strong year for commercial real estate, 2016 opened differently – with some uncertainty

and unresolved questions that could impact the way owners and occupiers invest and operate. The variables, however, are both positive and negative. To successfully navigate the real estate markets in 2016, stakeholders will need to keep a global perspective, stay abreast of changes in the broader environment and, increasingly, devise innovative solutions to complex problems.

These are some of the key trends noted in Avison Young’s 2016 Canada, U.S. and U.K. Forecast, released recently.

The annual report covers the office, retail, industrial and investment markets in 55 Canadian, U.S. and U.K. metropolitan regions: Calgary, Edmonton, Halifax, Lethbridge, Montreal, Ottawa, Quebec City, Regina, Toronto, Toronto West, Vancouver, Waterloo Region, Winnipeg, Atlanta, Austin, Boston, Charleston, Charlotte, Chicago, Cleveland, Columbus OH, Dallas, Denver, Detroit, Fairfield County, Fort Lauderdale, Greenville, Hartford, Houston, Indianapolis, Knoxville, Las Vegas, Long Island, Los Angeles, Miami, Minneapolis, Nashville, New Jersey, New York, Oakland, Orange County, Orlando, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Raleigh-Durham, Reno, Sacramento, San Antonio, San Diego County, San Francisco, San Mateo, Tampa, Washington DC, West Palm Beach and London U.K.

“The global real estate industry has had a tremendous run. It has been more than six years since the Great Recession. During the steady climb back up, interest rates continued to decline, central banks unleashed quantitative easing, employment recovered and economies rebounded. The post-recession years have marked a period of rebuilding balance sheets and

personal wealth, and relative peace in much of the Western world,” comments Mark E. Rose, Chair and CEO of Avison Young. “The financial and real estate markets appear stable as we begin 2016, but variables now surfacing could undermine short-term prosperity. The year ahead seems to be the waning days of a prosperous cycle – perhaps even a cyclical top in liquidity, pricing and transaction velocity.”

He continues: “As difficult as it is to acknowledge that we are entering a period of transition, we must remain clear-eyed as we undertake our 2016 strategic planning. Our industry has always been cyclical, and factors that negatively affect pricing or trading velocity are, in turn, countered with opportunistic buyers and lessees.

“At Avison Young, we believe that 2016 will be a very choppy, but ultimately stable, year, with interest rates still top of mind. In the U.S., interest rate increases mark a return to monetary normalization. The U.S. interest rate increase could actually have a positive impact on the markets. Canada has lowered its interest rates and employed a low-dollar approach to spur investment and buffer oil and other commodity weakness, while the U.K. continues with a low-interest-rate policy. Germany continues to be the stabilizing force in continental Europe, but shoulders the burdens of other countries in the EU. Meanwhile, our newest market, Mexico, is stable and opportunities to grow are available as the Mexican economy matures.

“Building resilience into our business plans and adapting real estate strategies to the evolving demographic, technological and political realities around the world will be critical.”

Amy Erixon, principal and managing director, Investment Management for Avison Young, adds: “The three trends that will most influence investment markets in 2016 are market divergence, debt levels and digital disruption, while three technological trends to watch will be cloud-based apps, equity and debt crowdfunding, and a resurgence in interest in

renewable energy and energy management.”

CANADA

“The end of the commodities super cycle, uneven employment growth, disruptive technologies, e-commerce and workplace strategies – to name a few – are testing Canada’s otherwise stable commercial real estate sector,” comments Bill Argeropoulos, principal, practice leader, Research (Canada) for Avison Young. “After entering and exiting a technical recession in 2015, Canada’s economy will endure another volatile year in 2016, leading to disparities in regional performance.”

Argeropoulos notes that a weaker-than-expected economy and an active development pipeline stymied the Canadian office market in 2015 – and will do so again in 2016 as the sector undergoes structural, rather than cyclical, changes. Commodity-based and development-laden markets will likely experience flights to quality, downward pressure on rental rates, rising vacancy and a shifting tenant-landlord balance. Depth of demand will stem from expanding requirements, a growing trend toward co-working spaces enabled by a mobile workforce, a race to attract talented millennials, intensifying urban-suburban competition, and American tenants looking to establish a foothold in Canada.

Argeropoulos continues: “The retail sector is something of a chameleon, constantly adapting and transforming as a result of market forces. Omni-channel retail is growing exponentially, with retailers streamlining and providing better deals as pricing trumps brand loyalty and fickle customers comparison-shop instantly using apps. Meanwhile, brick-and-mortar stakeholders are leveraging their geographical reach to remain competitive.

“On the industrial front, an established and expanding distribution and logistics-driven industry and a sustained U.S. recovery will provide upside, and a low Canadian dollar will fuel exports and boost a smaller, but more productive manufacturing sector.

“Finally, on the investment front, Canada – in fact, the world – is awash in capital. Despite Canada’s finite investable marketplace, it is very much on the investment radar screen, with domestic players increasingly facing off with foreign buyers who are raising their real estate investment allocations.”

NOTABLE CANADIAN REPORT HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE:

OFFICE

A burgeoning development pipeline, along with varying absorption levels, increased Canada’s overall office vacancy rate 110 basis points (bps) from year-end 2014 to close 2015 at 10.6 per cent. Vacancy rose in 12 of 13 markets surveyed, with six markets recording rates above the national average. Vacancy is forecast to rise to 12.2 per cent by year-end 2016.

Weighed down by the collapse in oil prices, the West-East divide has narrowed. Canada’s Western markets collectively witnessed a 210-bps jump in office vacancy, averaging 10.7 per cent by year-end 2015, compared with a 70-bps increase in Eastern markets, which finished 2015 at 10.6 per cent. By

year-end 2016, vacancy levels are expected to rise further, climbing to 12.9 per cent and 11.8 per cent for the West and East, respectively.

Despite a modest decline from year-end 2014, almost 20 million square feet (msf) of office space (54 per cent preleased and representing 3.6 per cent of existing stock) was under construction across Canada at the close of 2015 – with 60 per cent of the total in Toronto and Calgary. Calgary and Toronto are among the 10 most active office development markets in North America, ranked fifth and seventh, respectively.

Scarcity of urban land will shift developers’ focus from single-purpose towards mixed-use, transit-oriented projects, spurring joint-ventures, while LEED is joined by the WELL Building Standard, and optimizing and future-proofing premises will remain paramount.

RETAIL

The retail sector saw new entrants operating alongside closures and downsizings. Traditional high-street retailers are bringing luxury to Canada’s regional malls: Nordstrom, Saks Fifth Avenue and Simons are all new anchors. On the other hand, Canadian Tire, Walmart and Lowe’s acquired strategic locations following Target’s retreat. According to the report:

Positives in 2016 will include: A low dollar (which should discourage Canadian consumers from U.S. cross-border shopping, ultimately boosting domestic sales), relatively low vacancy, controlled new supply, solid population growth and strong mall performance.

Negatives in 2016 will include: Uneven retail sales and GDP growth, record-high consumer debt and Canadian-U.S. exchange rates that could lead to higher wholesale costs and squeeze profits.

INDUSTRIAL

Canada’s industrial vacancy rate remains tight. Despite a healthy supply-demand balance, vacancy will rise to 4.6 per cent by year-end 2016 from 4.1 per cent in late 2015, based on current trends. With the exception of Halifax, single-digit vacancy rates persist, with five of the 12 Canadian markets surveyed displaying rates below the national average.

Canada’s stable industrial markets claimed five of the 10 lowest vacancy rates in North American markets in 2015, with four of those markets expected to maintain their top-10 rankings by year-end 2016.

Eastern markets saw a modest 10-bps year-over-year rise in vacancy, averaging 4.1 per cent at the end of 2015. Coincidentally, the Western markets combined for 4.1 per cent vacancy in 2015, having increased 70 bps from year-end 2014. As a result of new supply, the West-East spread will widen to 50 bps in 2016, as vacancy is forecast to rise to 5 per cent and 4.5 per cent, respectively.

Construction is ongoing, with more than 19 msf (40 per cent preleased) underway across the country at the close of 2015. This total is up from 16 msf at the end of 2014.

As the books closed on another strong year for commercial real estate, 2016 opened differently – with some uncertainty

and unresolved questions that could impact the way owners and occupiers invest and operate. The variables, however, are both positive and negative. To successfully navigate the real estate markets in 2016, stakeholders will need to keep a global perspective, stay abreast of changes in the broader environment and, increasingly, devise innovative solutions to complex problems.

These are some of the key trends noted in Avison Young’s 2016 Canada, U.S. and U.K. Forecast, released recently.

The annual report covers the office, retail, industrial and investment markets in 55 Canadian, U.S. and U.K. metropolitan regions: Calgary, Edmonton, Halifax, Lethbridge, Montreal, Ottawa, Quebec City, Regina, Toronto, Toronto West, Vancouver, Waterloo Region, Winnipeg, Atlanta, Austin, Boston, Charleston, Charlotte, Chicago, Cleveland, Columbus OH, Dallas, Denver, Detroit, Fairfield County, Fort Lauderdale, Greenville, Hartford, Houston, Indianapolis, Knoxville, Las Vegas, Long Island, Los Angeles, Miami, Minneapolis, Nashville, New Jersey, New York, Oakland, Orange County, Orlando, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Raleigh-Durham, Reno, Sacramento, San Antonio, San Diego County, San Francisco, San Mateo, Tampa, Washington DC, West Palm Beach and London U.K.

“The global real estate industry has had a tremendous run. It has been more than six years since the Great Recession. During the steady climb back up, interest rates continued to decline, central banks unleashed quantitative easing, employment recovered and economies rebounded. The post-recession years have marked a period of rebuilding balance sheets and

personal wealth, and relative peace in much of the Western world,” comments Mark E. Rose, Chair and CEO of Avison Young. “The financial and real estate markets appear stable as we begin 2016, but variables now surfacing could undermine short-term prosperity. The year ahead seems to be the waning days of a prosperous cycle – perhaps even a cyclical top in liquidity, pricing and transaction velocity.”

He continues: “As difficult as it is to acknowledge that we are entering a period of transition, we must remain clear-eyed as we undertake our 2016 strategic planning. Our industry has always been cyclical, and factors that negatively affect pricing or trading velocity are, in turn, countered with opportunistic buyers and lessees.

“At Avison Young, we believe that 2016 will be a very choppy, but ultimately stable, year, with interest rates still top of mind. In the U.S., interest rate increases mark a return to monetary normalization. The U.S. interest rate increase could actually have a positive impact on the markets. Canada has lowered its interest rates and employed a low-dollar approach to spur investment and buffer oil and other commodity weakness, while the U.K. continues with a low-interest-rate policy. Germany continues to be the stabilizing force in continental Europe, but shoulders the burdens of other countries in the EU. Meanwhile, our newest market, Mexico, is stable and opportunities to grow are available as the Mexican economy matures.

“Building resilience into our business plans and adapting real estate strategies to the evolving demographic, technological and political realities around the world will be critical.”

Amy Erixon, principal and managing director, Investment Management for Avison Young, adds: “The three trends that will most influence investment markets in 2016 are market divergence, debt levels and digital disruption, while three technological trends to watch will be cloud-based apps, equity and debt crowdfunding, and a resurgence in interest in

renewable energy and energy management.”

CANADA

“The end of the commodities super cycle, uneven employment growth, disruptive technologies, e-commerce and workplace strategies – to name a few – are testing Canada’s otherwise stable commercial real estate sector,” comments Bill Argeropoulos, principal, practice leader, Research (Canada) for Avison Young. “After entering and exiting a technical recession in 2015, Canada’s economy will endure another volatile year in 2016, leading to disparities in regional performance.”

Argeropoulos notes that a weaker-than-expected economy and an active development pipeline stymied the Canadian office market in 2015 – and will do so again in 2016 as the sector undergoes structural, rather than cyclical, changes. Commodity-based and development-laden markets will likely experience flights to quality, downward pressure on rental rates, rising vacancy and a shifting tenant-landlord balance. Depth of demand will stem from expanding requirements, a growing trend toward co-working spaces enabled by a mobile workforce, a race to attract talented millennials, intensifying urban-suburban competition, and American tenants looking to establish a foothold in Canada.

Argeropoulos continues: “The retail sector is something of a chameleon, constantly adapting and transforming as a result of market forces. Omni-channel retail is growing exponentially, with retailers streamlining and providing better deals as pricing trumps brand loyalty and fickle customers comparison-shop instantly using apps. Meanwhile, brick-and-mortar stakeholders are leveraging their geographical reach to remain competitive.

“On the industrial front, an established and expanding distribution and logistics-driven industry and a sustained U.S. recovery will provide upside, and a low Canadian dollar will fuel exports and boost a smaller, but more productive manufacturing sector.

“Finally, on the investment front, Canada – in fact, the world – is awash in capital. Despite Canada’s finite investable marketplace, it is very much on the investment radar screen, with domestic players increasingly facing off with foreign buyers who are raising their real estate investment allocations.”

NOTABLE CANADIAN REPORT HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE:

OFFICE

A burgeoning development pipeline, along with varying absorption levels, increased Canada’s overall office vacancy rate 110 basis points (bps) from year-end 2014 to close 2015 at 10.6 per cent. Vacancy rose in 12 of 13 markets surveyed, with six markets recording rates above the national average. Vacancy is forecast to rise to 12.2 per cent by year-end 2016.

Weighed down by the collapse in oil prices, the West-East divide has narrowed. Canada’s Western markets collectively witnessed a 210-bps jump in office vacancy, averaging 10.7 per cent by year-end 2015, compared with a 70-bps increase in Eastern markets, which finished 2015 at 10.6 per cent. By

year-end 2016, vacancy levels are expected to rise further, climbing to 12.9 per cent and 11.8 per cent for the West and East, respectively.

Despite a modest decline from year-end 2014, almost 20 million square feet (msf) of office space (54 per cent preleased and representing 3.6 per cent of existing stock) was under construction across Canada at the close of 2015 – with 60 per cent of the total in Toronto and Calgary. Calgary and Toronto are among the 10 most active office development markets in North America, ranked fifth and seventh, respectively.

Scarcity of urban land will shift developers’ focus from single-purpose towards mixed-use, transit-oriented projects, spurring joint-ventures, while LEED is joined by the WELL Building Standard, and optimizing and future-proofing premises will remain paramount.

Negatives in 2016 will include: Uneven retail sales and GDP growth, record-high consumer debt and Canadian-U.S. exchange rates that could lead to higher wholesale costs and squeeze profits.

INDUSTRIAL

Canada’s industrial vacancy rate remains tight. Despite a healthy supply-demand balance, vacancy will rise to 4.6 per cent by year-end 2016 from 4.1 per cent in late 2015, based on current trends. With the exception of Halifax, single-digit vacancy rates persist, with five of the 12 Canadian markets surveyed displaying rates below the national average.

Canada’s stable industrial markets claimed five of the 10 lowest vacancy rates in North American markets in 2015, with four of those markets expected to maintain their top-10 rankings by year-end 2016.

Eastern markets saw a modest 10-bps year-over-year rise in vacancy, averaging 4.1 per cent at the end of 2015. Coincidentally, the Western markets combined for 4.1 per cent vacancy in 2015, having increased 70 bps from year-end 2014. As a result of new supply, the West-East spread will widen to 50 bps in 2016, as vacancy is forecast to rise to 5 per cent and 4.5 per cent, respectively.

Construction is ongoing, with more than 19 msf (40 per cent preleased) underway across the country at the close of 2015. This total is up from 16 msf at the end of 2014.

The Importance of Using Leverage

What is leverage? It is an effective investment strategy of using borrowed money to generate higher investment returns. When you actually stop to look at the everyday real estate transactions, (buying a home)… a home purchase with only 20% down payment is actually using leverage!

The key to leverage is the power of using “other people’s money (0PM) for a greater return. It should be noted that some sellers are willing to finance some or most of the purchase price of the property they wish to sell. Under such an arrangement, you can use leverage to purchase a property with very little money down.

The fact of the matter is, using leverage in real estate investing is an exciting way to earn big yields on small dollars, and you should not fear taking a chance. When you are building real estate wealth, leverage will help you grow quickly without involving too much risk (as long as you watch out for some pitfalls, which will be discussed later). High leveraged investing in real estate is especially powerful when inflation is in full swing. High leverage investors have numbers going for them because property values rise faster than the interest charges on their borrowed money.

Example: For example, with a $100,000.00 investment (10% down payment) an investor can acquire a property worth as much as $1,000,000.00. The buyer is essentially using a relatively small percentage of his or her own money to make the purchase, and the majority of the money is being provided by the lender. Real estate investors often refer to the remainder of the purchase price as "other people's money," since persons other than the borrower provided the money needed to make the purchase.

Rewards: Assuming the property appreciates at 5% per year, the borrower's net worth from this purchase would grow by $50,000.00 in just 12 months. (5% x

8171452_33138171394_0916

$1,000,000). It is the capital appreciation of the asset that brings wealth. In other words, the 100,000 investment produced a return of $50,000.00!

And that is not all! Remember that we have not factored in the debt reduction and cash flow over time. With a long term hold you will benefit from, the mortgage reduction, positive cash flow and increase in property value.

The Risk: To a lot of people, leverage means risk. The reason is that with leverage you may run the risk of unexpected negative cash flow that could risk the investment. Assure the income generated from the property is able to support the expenses and all the carrying costs. Also be aware of unforeseen capital expenditures or sudden increase in interest rates which may tremendously impact the property cash flow. To reduce that risk, always remember the old saying that “cash is king”; therefore unless you have deep pockets, you should always leave yourself a healthy cash reserve for the unexpected.

Summary: As we've demonstrated, using leverage in Real Estate offers a number of advantages you simply cannot achieve in other investment vehicles. This explains in part why most wealthy individuals have either made or now hold the majority of their wealth in Real Estate. It is my sincere belief that when you compare the returns, risks and barriers to success, Real Estate should be a component of every successful investor's portfolio.

The key to leverage is the power of using “other people’s money (0PM) for a greater return. It should be noted that some sellers are willing to finance some or most of the purchase price of the property they wish to sell. Under such an arrangement, you can use leverage to purchase a property with very little money down.

The fact of the matter is, using leverage in real estate investing is an exciting way to earn big yields on small dollars, and you should not fear taking a chance. When you are building real estate wealth, leverage will help you grow quickly without involving too much risk (as long as you watch out for some pitfalls, which will be discussed later). High leveraged investing in real estate is especially powerful when inflation is in full swing. High leverage investors have numbers going for them because property values rise faster than the interest charges on their borrowed money.

Example: For example, with a $100,000.00 investment (10% down payment) an investor can acquire a property worth as much as $1,000,000.00. The buyer is essentially using a relatively small percentage of his or her own money to make the purchase, and the majority of the money is being provided by the lender. Real estate investors often refer to the remainder of the purchase price as "other people's money," since persons other than the borrower provided the money needed to make the purchase.

Rewards: Assuming the property appreciates at 5% per year, the borrower's net worth from this purchase would grow by $50,000.00 in just 12 months. (5% x

8171452_33138171394_0916

$1,000,000). It is the capital appreciation of the asset that brings wealth. In other words, the 100,000 investment produced a return of $50,000.00!

And that is not all! Remember that we have not factored in the debt reduction and cash flow over time. With a long term hold you will benefit from, the mortgage reduction, positive cash flow and increase in property value.

The Risk: To a lot of people, leverage means risk. The reason is that with leverage you may run the risk of unexpected negative cash flow that could risk the investment. Assure the income generated from the property is able to support the expenses and all the carrying costs. Also be aware of unforeseen capital expenditures or sudden increase in interest rates which may tremendously impact the property cash flow. To reduce that risk, always remember the old saying that “cash is king”; therefore unless you have deep pockets, you should always leave yourself a healthy cash reserve for the unexpected.

Summary: As we've demonstrated, using leverage in Real Estate offers a number of advantages you simply cannot achieve in other investment vehicles. This explains in part why most wealthy individuals have either made or now hold the majority of their wealth in Real Estate. It is my sincere belief that when you compare the returns, risks and barriers to success, Real Estate should be a component of every successful investor's portfolio.

Commercial Real Estate & Business Opportunities28

Hamilton

Volume 16 Issue 02

Recently I’ve been asked the question “How do you choose your commercial appraisers” and this lead me to want to share this information with you. Appraising

a commercial property is entirely different from residential appraisals as they involve a certain type of skill set, are costly, and can be considered more thorough. Undoubtedly, the service is important to determine the value of your investment while giving you a proper peace of mind. However, not being aware of key appraisal factors can turn the process into a complicated and overwhelming task. With that being said, I present to you the strategic way in which to choose your appraiser.

Firstly, it’s beneficial to know that a commercial appraiser in Canada is established upon the basis of professional standards and follow a model that includes responsiveness, transparency and being accountable to the public. More specifically, they are obligated to take all the necessary steps to complete the task and disclose their real estate knowledge, and even lack of, before accepting the assignment. It is also in their nature to ask you a few questions before the process. Don’t shy away if you are asked to present a variety of legal documents related to the commercial property itself. Documents such as leases, rent rolls, operating statements, property tax bills, diagrams and more. This is to ensure the appraiser is able to work to the best of his ability.

Things to Consider and Ask Before Hiring an Appraiser What experience do you have?It is an obvious question to ask your appraiser, so don’t be afraid to do so! Here is where you unveil answers that will set the tone with the level of professional you are working with. Have they worked with properties in your area already? If so what types? Are they part of any industry organizations? Asking these questions ensures whether or not their experience can be aligned with your current property.

Take this opportunity to also ask if he or she has a specific area of specialty, and if they know the market area. If you found an out of town appraiser, for instance, their given value will most likely be askew. Ask general questions about your targeted neighbourhood to get a sense of how much they know.

Additionally it is beneficial to know the exact title of your appraiser. In Canada, there is a Canadian Residential Appraiser (CRA™) designation and an Accredited Appraiser Canadian Institute (AACI™) designation. According to Appraisal Institute of Canada, the first indicates that the appraiser is qualified to offer valuation and consulting services for undeveloped residential dwelling sites and dwellings not containing more than four self-contained family housing units. The latter, is a designation that grants members the qualification to offer valuation and consulting services and expertise for all types of real property.

Choosing a Commercial Appraiser -COLLECTING, COMPARING, CALIBRATING

11301473_0916

Are you a full time appraiser? You may assume that your chosen appraiser works full time, but there are part-time professionals as well. Here is where you consider how well they know the market trends. It is certainly difficult for a part-time appraiser to keep up with a continuously changing market. Especially with larger, more valuable properties it is best you hire a full-time appraiser.

What is your cost? Obviously cost is going to become a question, but it is important to not let the answer sway you. On one hand it is not wise to hire someone simply because they quoted you at the cheapest price, as this could actually cost you a fortune in the long run. On the other hand, being themost expensive doesn’t necessarily qualify them as the best. You should keep in mind both the appraiser’s credentials and the fact that you are paying for more than just an assessment itself.

What does my real estate professional think? If you’re really not sure about your options, you can always reach out to your realtor for a second opinion. Realtors work alongside appraisers so often that their knowledge can be beneficial. Most likely, they will already have someone in mind that they trust themselves. Overall, research is involved in the beginning, but as mentioned before, it can save you a substantial amount in the end. It’s also ideal to consider that not just you, but all partiesinvolved will reap the benefits. This includes your real estate agent, the borrower, and the lender. If you are currently looking for a commercial appraiser, a good place to start is with the Appraisal Institute of Canada. You can visit their website and input exactly what type of appraiser you are looking for. Likewise, if you want my personal opinion don’t hesitate to contact me directly. I always look forward to assisting you with your real estate needs.

According to Appraisal Institute of Canada, the first indicates that the appraiser is qualified to offer valuation and consulting services for undeveloped residential dwelling sites and dwellings not containing more than four self-contained family housing units. The latter, is a designation that grants members the qualification to offer valuation and consulting services and expertise for all types of real property.

Choosing a Commercial Appraiser -COLLECTING, COMPARING, CALIBRATING

11301473_0916

Are you a full time appraiser? You may assume that your chosen appraiser works full time, but there are part-time professionals as well. Here is where you consider how well they know the market trends. It is certainly difficult for a part-time appraiser to keep up with a continuously changing market. Especially with larger, more valuable properties it is best you hire a full-time appraiser.

What is your cost? Obviously cost is going to become a question, but it is important to not let the answer sway you. On one hand it is not wise to hire someone simply because they quoted you at the cheapest price, as this could actually cost you a fortune in the long run. On the other hand, being themost expensive doesn’t necessarily qualify them as the best. You should keep in mind both the appraiser’s credentials and the fact that you are paying for more than just an assessment itself.

What does my real estate professional think? If you’re really not sure about your options, you can always reach out to your realtor for a second opinion. Realtors work alongside appraisers so often that their knowledge can be beneficial. Most likely, they will already have someone in mind that they trust themselves. Overall, research is involved in the beginning, but as mentioned before, it can save you a substantial amount in the end. It’s also ideal to consider that not just you, but all partiesinvolved will reap the benefits. This includes your real estate agent, the borrower, and the lender. If you are currently looking for a commercial appraiser, a good place to start is with the Appraisal Institute of Canada. You can visit their website and input exactly what type of appraiser you are looking for. Likewise, if you want my personal opinion don’t hesitate to contact me directly. I always look forward to assisting you with your real estate needs.

showerhead if there is sediment present.

Slow drains usually mean dirty drains. Check each drain in each unit for drain speed. If a drain is slow, check the drain and the vent for clogging. Drains should fully swirl when letting water out. Bubbles coming from the drain is usually a sign of clogging. Unusual gurgling sounds are an indication of a potential venting problem.

Flush every toilet to make sure it works properly. Check all internal and external parts of the flush assembly for broken, rusted or missing parts. Make sure the toilet stops when filled. Signs of water on the floor around the toilet show a potential problem. Push each toilet gently to ensure it does not rock.

Check for signs of mildew caused by standing water that has dried.

Check the burner chamber of the water heater for the building. Check for rust flakes in the chamber, and check the flame, too. Flames that burn blue are good, while flames with yellow usually mean the jets need cleaning.

Drain the water heater periodically to remove sediment.

Turn each faucet in the building on — water coming from the handle and valves need repair. Self-inspec-tions take a little time depending on your building size. However, doing plumbing inspections on a regular basis stops small, inexpensive problems from turning into large, costly ones.

Proactive property managers pinpoint plumbing problems while they are small and less costly to fix. The pre-selection of your plumber contractor allows for rapid resolution of problems, so tenants know you have their interests at heart, and the management knows you are on top of things and keeping plumbing service calls down.

Plumbing EmergencyAs a owner or property manager, you know that residents and businesses view any plumbing issue as an emergency. While some plumbing issues may be urgent, there are others that can wait. Slow drains or pull-up drain stoppers that are off their hooks can wait for normal business hours for repairs. The following are issues that are red-flag piping emergencies and need immediate attention, no matter the time or day:

• Flooded bathrooms

• Broken pipes

• Overflowing toilets

• Gas line leaks

• Corroded pipes

• Sewage leakage

Property Manager’s Plumbing ChecklistProactive owners & property managers use a plumbing checklist for periodic inspections of their building’s plumbing. It serves as an early warning system to uncover problems while they are small and repair them. The following are items to check.

Look for sign of leaks in pipes that are visible. These include puddles and water stains on the ground. Pay particular attention to areas where pipes run through walls or the building foundation.

Be alert for signs of corrosion. If not repaired, corroded pipes allow for leaks and poor pipe connections. Symptoms of corrosion include green stains over and around brass or copper fittings and on shutoff valves. Older steel pipes show yellow or orange stains.

Water pressure checks ensure that the water comes out with the right force from sink faucets and showerheads. When water pressure is low, it is often a sign of sediment buildup in the faucet or showerhead. Sometimes, low water pressure is a sign of a situation with the water line. Resident’s showers sometimes have low water pressure due to sediment clogs. Remove, inspect, and clean the

GTA REALTORS REPORT commercial market figures

Toronto Real Estate Board President Mark McLean announced that TREB Commercial Network Members

reported a combined 240,606 square feet of industrial, commercial/retail and office space leased through TREB’s MLS System in January 2016, for properties where pricing was disclosed on a per square foot net basis. This result was down from 349,270 square feet of leased space in January 2015.

Industrial properties accounted for approximately 60 per cent of space leased.

The month of January is often quite volatile from one year to the next in terms of the types and sizes of properties that are leased. For this reason, average lease rates for reported transactions varied markedly between January 2015 and January 2016, with the average industrial lease rate up

substantially year-over-year and the average commercial/retail lease rate down substantially.

“The way in which the GTA commercial real estate market unfolds in 2016 will depend a lot on how the regional economy adapts to the lower value of the Canadian dollar. To date, we have not seen a full resurgence in the goods production sector, particularly as it relates to exports. If export-related production starts to increase, it is possible that commercial sale and leasing activity could increase this year as well,” said Mr. McLean.

There were 40 combined industrial, commercial/retail and office sales reported in January 2016. This result was down compared to 53 sales reported for the same period in 2015.

Similar to the leasing market, sales results for the month of January can be quite volatile, which can periodically lead to larger swings in average sale prices on a per square foot basis. As the number of transactions picks up through the first quarter, in line with the recurring seasonal trend, the volatility in average selling prices is expected diminish.

COLLABORATIVE WORK SPACES ARE THE OFFICE REVOLUTIONARY TREND,

says Colliers International’s Waterloo region market outlook report

Employers have recognized the corporate value of collaborative work spaces and are calling employees back into the

office, according to Colliers International’s seventh annual Waterloo Region Market Report.

“We are seeing what we term a revolution, in that office space is now being used very differently from previous years,” said Karl Innanen, Colliers International’s Waterloo Region managing director. “In the past, many employees worked offsite – from their homes, their cars or coffee shops. Now, employers see the value in creating a corporate culture within their office space, where conversation and interpersonal exchange spark ideas, innovation and a collaborative engagement, which all lead to greater effectiveness and efficiency in daily work.”

The Colliers Waterloo Region Office Report shows that employers are using creative amenities within the workplace, such as games rooms and open meeting spaces, to engage employees. Colliers also notes that unique spaces such as renovated and exposed brick and beam buildings are now the most attractive type of office space, especially for creative agencies and technology-focused companies.

Innanen said that Colliers was involved in the transaction that saw Google Canada open its largest Canadian office in the Waterloo Region, pointing to the depth of innovative talent in the area and its very reasonable cost of living, relative to other Southern Ontario urban areas.

The Colliers report also covers the industrial market, providing comparison figures between 2010 and 2015 in terms of vacancy rate, availability of space and average deal sizes.

The industrial vacancy rate has risen slightly in the last five years, standing at 6.82 per cent in 2015 versus 6.70 per cent in 2010, while the availability rate has dropped from 6.86 per cent in 2010 to just 5.46 per cent last year. Industrial deal sizes have grown since 2010, when the average deal size was 35,626 square feet, to an average deal size of 40,645 square feet in 2015. The average industrial deal size in the past five years has been 38,225 square feet.

The Colliers industrial report highlights the continuing strength of the Waterloo Region investment market. While 2014 was a record year that saw approximately $1 billion in investment sales, an amount dramatically above the $650 million in sales in an average year, 2015 showed little slowing, seeing approximately $900 million in investment sales for the second best year ever. This result again points to the strength of the market for investment dollars.

Colliers International indicates that demand is continuing to outstrip supply in Waterloo Region, with far more buyers than sellers in the investment marketplace.

“Of this $900 million, fully one-third of these sales were multi-unit apartment buildings,” said Innanen. “Most notably, the Waterloo Region is becoming a ‘vertical city’ that is growing up, rather than spreading out. We are seeing many more high-rise rental apartments and condominiums being planned and constructed. We also know the new Light Rapid Transit in the Region will assist greatly, as investors have seen past the inconvenience of the current construction period and now very clearly see the eventual long-term benefits the LRT will bring to the Region,” he added.

Colliers International Group Inc. is a global leader in commercial real estate services with more than 16,300 professionals operating from 502 offices in 67 countries. For more information visit Colliers.com.

EASTERN ONTARIO



Toronto, Canada’s largest and North America’s third-largest industrial market, remains the biggest Canadian development market with 6.6 msf (34 per cent of the national total) underway, followed by Vancouver (5.6 msf, 29 per cent).

INVESTMENT

According to the report, investment capital continues to flow – constrained mainly by a lack of available quality product. Approximately $24 billion worth of property was sold through mid-December 2015, down from the 2014 total of $26 billion.

In 2016, prime assets will be contested, with greater emphasis on urban land and development potential. More partial-interest sales are anticipated as owners reduce risk and take profits, attracting reluctant buyers back into the market. Competition may encourage more off-market activity while emerging CRE crowdfunding platforms are set to revolutionize online investment offerings.

U.S.

While 2014 marked a return to pre-recession employment levels in the U.S., further economic growth solidified the nation’s overall recovery in 2015. Nearly every market registered employment growth, maintaining the U.S. unemployment rate’s downward trajectory. This stronger economic performance was reflected in gains across all commercial property sectors.

“As we had forecast for 2015, we saw continued positive absorption across most U.S. markets with a stabilization of cap rates for all property types. Job creation continued during 2015, exerting downward pressure on vacancy and driving rental rates steadily higher,” comments Earl Webb, President, U.S. Operations for Avison Young. “Rising property values predominantly reflected these strengthening fundamentals rather than compressed cap rates. Demand from foreign and domestic capital sources remained strong and, as predicted, began to migrate into secondary markets as investors sought higher yields.

“U.S. presidential election years tend to be years with less dramatic economic movement, a factor that we believe will hold true in 2016 – barring some unforeseen out-of-market event that could disrupt financial markets. We foresee solid investment activity, continued job growth, and, as such, fundamental rent growth in the office, industrial, retail and multi-residential sectors.”

NOTABLE U.S. REPORT HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE:

OFFICE

Common themes, such as a flight to quality and space design efficiency, mixed-use and transit-oriented development and occupiers’ preference for live/work/play environments, persisted in 2015. As well, the emergence of creative office space in non-traditional locations is growing in response to tenants’ desire for collaborative work environments.

The U.S. office markets tracked by Avison Young totalled 4.4

billion square feet (bsf) at the close of 2015. Overall vacancy declined 60 bps year-over-year to 12.4 per cent.

All but six markets recorded lower rates when compared with year-end 2014. Only Houston displayed a substantial vacancy increase (27 per cent), climbing to 13.1 per cent at the close of 2015 from 10.3 per cent one year earlier.

At year-end 2015, the amount of office space under construction in the U.S. had increased to almost 86 msf (52 per cent preleased), up from 68 msf one year earlier; however, there is no real threat of oversupply in the near term.

Once again, New York (13.2 msf), Houston (9.7 msf), Dallas (8.1 msf) and Washington, DC (8 msf) had the most development underway.

Modest improvement in the U.S. office vacancy rate is forecast for 2016. While new construction is preleased, absorption may again be tempered by tenants shifting to smaller and more efficient footprints.

“From an occupier perspective, we have seen a slight decrease in capital deployment, primarily related to economic uncertainty, and the occupier tendency toward risk aversion, shorter leases and optimization of space usage may continue in 2016,” Webb adds.

RETAIL

Suburban office parks are adding amenities for occupiers and the uptick in multi-residential developments can account for necessary retail expansion.

Several markets, such as Miami, are reporting low single-digit retail vacancy.

There was an upswing in urban-centric and lifestyle retail following downtown residential development.

Big-box stores, such as Target and Walmart, continue to make inroads in these urban locations, creating additional competition for traditional department stores.

Continued progress in the sector is expected in 2016 as retailers respond to shifting residential trends and lifestyle habits.

INDUSTRIAL

The U.S. industrial markets tracked by Avison Young comprised 10.3 bsf with a low (6.3 per cent) vacancy rate at year-end 2015, compared with 6.8 per cent one year earlier, and tight market conditions have kept rental rates on the rise.

Speculative construction has returned and, altogether, 130 msf is underway, driven by operators’ need to be closer to the consumer and demand for modern buildings to handle automated individual- and bulk-order processing.

Six U.S. markets each had construction volume equal to or exceeding 10 msf and together accounted for 64 per cent of the nation’s total: Dallas (17.4 msf), Los Angeles (17 msf), Atlanta (14.6 msf), Philadelphia (14.3 msf), Houston (10.7 msf) and Chicago (10 msf).

growth has not – a situation that will create abundant investment opportunities, provided that investors have realistic expectations, are creative and manage their investments aggressively.”

Webb concludes: “While 2015 sales volume was on pace to reach the half-trillion-dollar mark as year-end approached, there remains an abundance of capital available for real estate’s higher yields and relative stability in 2016.”

Avison Young is among the world’s fastest-growing commercial real estate services firms. Headquartered in Toronto, Canada, Avison Young is a collaborative, global firm owned and operated by its principals. Founded in 1978, the company comprises 2,100 real estate professionals in 75 offices, providing value-added, client-centric investment sales, leasing, advisory, management, financing and mortgage placement services to owners and occupiers of office, retail, industrial and multi-family properties.

development and the construction of intermodal facilities and inland ports that are designed to handle containerized shipment transfers.

Infill development is underway in mature markets such as Chicago; however, land constraints in the country’s major metropolitan areas will likely keep such projects in check.

New deliveries should have little impact on overall vacancy in 2016 as nearly half of all projects are already preleased.

INVESTMENT

Though transaction volume flattened later in the year, 2015 recorded double-digit percentage growth for U.S. sales, which exceeded $425 billion.

A significant amount of capital poured into U.S. commercial real estate markets in 2015, and more of the same is expected in 2016.

Canada led foreign investment in the U.S. in both 2014 and 2015. Through November 2015, Canadian investors had purchased $24 billion worth of U.S. assets, leading all other countries by a wide margin.

“We foresee solid investment activity, continued job growth and, as such, fundamental rent growth in the office, industrial, retail and multi-residential sectors,” says Webb. “Cap-rate compression has largely run its course, but fundamental

Toronto, Canada’s largest and North America’s third-largest industrial market, remains the biggest Canadian development market with 6.6 msf (34 per cent of the national total) underway, followed by Vancouver (5.6 msf, 29 per cent).

INVESTMENT

According to the report, investment capital continues to flow – constrained mainly by a lack of available quality product. Approximately $24 billion worth of property was sold through mid-December 2015, down from the 2014 total of $26 billion.

In 2016, prime assets will be contested, with greater emphasis on urban land and development potential. More partial-interest sales are anticipated as owners reduce risk and take profits, attracting reluctant buyers back into the market. Competition may encourage more off-market activity while emerging CRE crowdfunding platforms are set to revolutionize online investment offerings.

U.S.

While 2014 marked a return to pre-recession employment levels in the U.S., further economic growth solidified the nation’s overall recovery in 2015. Nearly every market registered employment growth, maintaining the U.S. unemployment rate’s downward trajectory. This stronger economic performance was reflected in gains across all commercial property sectors.

“As we had forecast for 2015, we saw continued positive absorption across most U.S. markets with a stabilization of cap rates for all property types. Job creation continued during 2015, exerting downward pressure on vacancy and driving rental rates steadily higher,” comments Earl Webb, President, U.S. Operations for Avison Young. “Rising property values predominantly reflected these strengthening fundamentals rather than compressed cap rates. Demand from foreign and domestic capital sources remained strong and, as predicted, began to migrate into secondary markets as investors sought higher yields.

“U.S. presidential election years tend to be years with less dramatic economic movement, a factor that we believe will hold true in 2016 – barring some unforeseen out-of-market event that could disrupt financial markets. We foresee solid investment activity, continued job growth, and, as such, fundamental rent growth in the office, industrial, retail and multi-residential sectors.”

Pro Funds Mortgages | 3410 South Service Rd. Suite G5, Burlington ON L7N 3T2 | www.profunds.ca

The Pro Funds’ Client Experience:

Pro Funds Mortgages is happy to announce a new article series, The Pro Funds’ Client Experience. These articles will feature a variety of clients sharing their knowledge and experience in dealing with Pro Funds to accomplish their real estate focused endeavours. Here is Andrew Hines, a Mortgage Agent and borrower with Pro Funds who shares how he has utilized private funding to acquire and build and income property. Rewind to May 1st 2015. Closing day. It was finally coming together. The results of 2 months of planning, due diligence and a whole lot of waiting were finally paying off. And I mean literally, my lawyer actually called me to let me know that I was getting a cheque for $73 upon closing of my purchase of a beat up old rental. Wow, just when I thought buying real estate couldn’t be any more rewarding.

The deal looks something like this: I buy a property with zero down, receive funds which are held in trust to pay for my renovations and expenses, and then I sell the property and get paid. Not a bad deal…?

“How is this possible”, you might ask? Well real estate is a business. And like any good business, flipping requires a good business plan. From the beginning I made sure that I knew my numbers. When I found the property, I knew what it was worth, I knew what it could be worth and I knew what I would have to put into it to get that value.

So what did I do? With the help of Pro Funds, I found a few private lenders to lend me the entire purchase price and renovation cost, in addition to my interest payments for the 6-month period I allotted myself to do the work.

As anyone thinking about flipping a property knows… you don’t get paid until you sell. So paying things like mortgage payments and property taxes during the process can become a burden. For me, being able to borrow the money to cover those items made it that much easier to get through the process and prevent any new grey hairs from forming just above the sideburns. There was some heavy lifting along the way and a few not-so-helpful contractors… But I think the memory of taking a chimney down piece-by-piece using a sledge hammer will always stick with me. That was fun.

The Pro Funds’ Client Experience:Flipping Properties with Zero Down

Mortgages#12051



So how can you structure your very own “zero down flip”?

If you’re thinking about doing a flip of your own or are wondering how you can leverage your existing properties to purchase a property with little or zero down, contact Pro Funds Mortgages at 1-888-330-3866 or [email protected].

1. Know your numbers - See a lot of properties, find out what they are selling for, both before and after the proposed renovations, and build yourself a buffer of 20% over and above what you think it will cost. Talk to contractors, get estimates and be ready to play hardball if needed.

2. Back it up – Start the process with comparable sales (your realtor can help with this) this is how you’re going to convince your lender that you can actually get the property sold for what you think you can sell it for at the end of the day. If they’re going to lend you money they need to know you have an “exit strategy”. Be sure that you’re very clear on what yours is. Good mortgage brokers will require an appraisal because they have an interest in making sure everyone is protected. You should expect to provide an appraisal for the property “as is” and “upon completion” of the proposed renovations.

3. Work with a broker that focuses on creative financing – I’ve worked for, and used Pro Funds Mortgages for financing for 5 years now. Knowing I can get real estate financed has allowed me to be a lot more aggressive with my real estate acquisitions.

4. Be willing to give up other collateral – my portfolio is an open book when it comes to getting new money. I put up one of my other properties to avoid putting any money down on this deal and I would do it again in a heartbeat. The ease and speed of operating this way allows me to do more than I ever could with a bank.

More than what you bargained forInheriting tenants with a commercial property

Jayson Schwarz LL.M is a Toronto real estate lawyer and partner in the law firm Schwarz Law LLP.

Usually a home or property inspector can give you a good idea of the condition

of the real estate you are buying. Unfortunately, the one thing an inspector cannot tell you is whether tenants will come with the property, and if they are any good. Purchasing a commercial property with existing tenants can be a great way to hedge investment losses in the property. In addition, having them there will save you the time and expense of advertising to fill vacancies and can help you secure financing for the purchase of the property. However, beware. Having tenants brings with it exposure to several types of liability, in many cases dictated by the commercial lease in place and real estate law. As a landlord it is important to understand there may be certain obligations for which you are responsible and understanding these obligations is critical to ensure you get what you bargained for.

Prior to purchasing a commercial property where you will be inheriting tenants:

Meet the tenants. It is important to discuss with them any complaints that they have with the property. This will help you gauge whether you will have a good working relationship with your future tenants, and will also provide valuable insight into potential issues with the property. If you have many tenants, or you do not want to deal with your tenants directly, discuss the options for engaging a property management company with your lawyer.

Know your rights. When you purchase a commercial property, any leases relating to the property will usually be assigned to you at the time of closing. If you consent to this assignment you will be bound to the terms of those leases. For example, these obligations could require that you remove snow from driveways, install or

maintain security systems, pay for utilities, etc. Generally speaking, existing leases and then the Ontario Commercial Tenancies Act will govern your relationship with the tenant going forward.

Know your tenant’s rights. The lease will describe your tenant’s rights and the remedies he or she has against you if a dispute arises. These remedies may include abatement of rent payments, court or arbitration, or even cancellation of the lease. Be sure to have a lawyer review the lease and explain how you may be exposed to liability.

Review the leases prior to purchase. The leases will list your responsibilities to the tenant and vice-versa. These rights are impacted by the law relating to commercial tenancies as well. Be sure to make ‘Review the leases by your lawyer and that they meet his or her satisfaction,’ a condition of any agreement of purchase and sale. If you don’t like what you hear, it is not necessarily the end of the deal; you may be able to renegotiate the terms of the lease or the agreement of purchase and sale.

Commercial leases are very complex and intimidating documents; however, understanding your obligations and your tenants’ rights will allow you to feel comfortable knowing that your exposure is limited. These documents function to maintain stability, predictability and in short, the status quo.

Landlord-Tenant disputes often arise when a lease obligation is not being fulfilled or is unable to be filled, resulting in issues with the property. Ideally, the landlord and tenant should keep a good relationship in order to be able to resolve these disputes amicably without resorting to the court system or other formal dispute resolution mechanisms.

Commercial leases require a lawyer familiar with the concepts and the law. Find a lawyer that has experience in the area because you will need a lawyer just as much after your closing as you did before.

Perhaps the most difficult part of writing these articles relates not to the actual writing, but thinking of a topic to address. Please mail, deliver or fax letters to the magazine or to us, use the website (schwarzlaw.ca), email ([email protected]), or phone us at 1-888-609-8888 and give us your questions, concerns, critiques and quandaries. We will try to deal with them in print or electronic form.

Why pre-construction condos are a great buy

There are many different ways you can invest and make money in real estate. Most types of real

estate investing are very hands-on and require a lot of time and effort. Investing in pre-construction condos on the other hand, can be highly lucrative with minimal effort. Here are 4 reasons why I believe that pre-construction condo investing is the best way to invest and make money in real estate.

1. CASH FLOW

There are many different ways you can invest and make money in real estate. Most types of real estate investing are very hands-on and require a lot of time and effort. Investing in pre-construction condos on the other hand, can be highly lucrative with minimal effort. Here are 4 reasons why I believe that pre-construction condo investing is the best way to invest and make money in real estate.

1. LEVERAGE

The number one reason why so many real estate investors look to the pre-construction condo market is the ability to leverage their money over time. With just 15 to 20 per cent of your own money, you can buy 100 per cent of an appreciating asset, and you get to hold that asset for three to four years without making any payments on it. Over the last decade in Toronto, thousands of investors have seen incredible returns by simply buying, waiting, then selling on completion.

2. ACCESS TO TRIPLE-A LOCATIONS

Condo investing allows ordinary investors to get a piece of real estate in otherwise unattainable locations. Owning real estate on Yonge Street, King Street or on the waterfront is made possible for average investors only through the power of condo investing. And with many developers offering flexible deposit structures, you can own in these prime locations for a fraction of what it would cost to buy a commercial property, a house, or a small apartment complex in the same locations.

3. LOW MAINTENANCE

New condos are perfect for the busy professional or self-employed business person because you can own multiple units with little to no month to month property management. Many of my clients tell me that they are so busy with their full time jobs or their businesses, they don’t have time to start a part time business as a landlord. Compared to buying a house or a commercial property, new condos offer the lowest maintenance with the highest rentability which means there’s nothing to fix or maintain and your unit will rent out very quickly saving you time for what really matters in your life.

4. RENTAL DEMAND

Since the end of the highrise apartment construction boom of the 1960s, there have been almost no purpose built rental buildings in the city of Toronto. Yet our city keeps growing by tens of thousands every year. The need for new rental units is now filled almost entirely by new condominiums and tenants always want to live in the latest and greatest buildings. Buying pre-construction guarantees that you will own the newest apartment on the block when the building is complete and condo investors know that renting out a unit in a brand new building has been a very lucrative experience.
