In this episode of The Very Real Estate Effect Podcast, Axel discusses the recent government announcement to cut the GST (Goods and Services Tax) on new rental buildings, aiming to boost construction.   This tax cut eliminates the 5% federal tax on new rental properties, making real estate development more appealing to investors and developers. According to Axel, it won't lead to an immediate increase in rental units; it's a medium to long-term solution taking 18 months to two years to impact the market. He emphasizes the importance of collaboration between federal and provincial governments to address housing challenges effectively.   Dive in! Learn about the government's GST cut on new rental buildings and its implications for real estate development, primarily in Quebec. Understand how government policies impact the industry.   Axel invites further discussion and expert analysis, acknowledging that the long-term effects of this policy change are yet to be fully understood.   SUPPORT US ON PATREON! patreon.com/realestateeffect and become a part of our real estate family!

In today's solo episode, Axel discusses the critical points that you should consider during due diligence when purchasing a real estate property. Due diligence is a thorough investigation to uncover any existing risks or defects in the property.   It is essential to conduct due diligence before closing a deal, as a property may appear to be a good investment opportunity, but there may be reasons why it should not be bought at all or should be bought below the offered price. You must verify and confirm all the income and expenses, have all the right documentation, and learn everything about the overall state of the building, its history, and how it stands compared to local municipal code laws.   In this episode, Axel explains each step that you should take to ensure success when closing a deal and avoid unpleasant surprises in the future.

In today's new solo episode, Axel shares an update on two projects, one in Laval and the other in Saint-Jerome paying special attention to working with the city for permits.    These projects are, on a macro level, learning experiences. His main goal is to go bigger;  build an entire neighborhood that can house families and immigrants so they can create memories. His experience can help you too. Learning from the experience of others can help you identify red flags or even avoid them, and provide you with useful tools and information.    Axel talks about the importance of working with an architect instead of a “dessinateur'', the negative effects city permit delays have on his projects and the importance of making the city and stakeholders understand that the biggest impediment to new dwellings coming on the market is working with the city.   In regards to his second project, he dives deep into how to treat contamination and the whole decontamination process, the importance of getting a lot of quotes, all what's needed to get the project fully approved to start with construction and the positive effects that the actual slowdown in construction has on his project.    Additionally he talks about the next step to come: financing. Mortgage brokers suggest if it doesn't work to wait 18 months. Axel is not going to wait. If you have any ideas on capital or financing, please get in touch.  STAY TUNED to see how the process continues!

We're negotiating with tenants -- that's so important because you have to understand them, their profile, what their objective is. And what is it that triggers them?” - Axel Monsaingeon  “On the growth trends, I should be able to give you the NOI right off the bat. But, within a 14-month period, we went from 32,000 to 52,000. That's huge.” - Axel Monsaingeon  “There's a lot more people from Ontario coming because they're like, ‘Oh, my God, Montreal is so cheap.' But what I would say is, that's trying to get into too many different things. You gotta just kind of pick one, educate yourself, learn the hard way, and then go a mile deep.” - Axel Monsaingeon  We are negotiating constantly with everyone, for everything, whether you're doing an acquisition and you negotiate with an owner, whether it's with your tenants, with your contractors and suppliers when you're doing financing and stuff like that.  -Axel Monsaingeon “One of the mistakes I do see is, it's not just valid for people from outside of Quebec coming here. It's also valid for people that are here sometimes investors want to touch too many different segments. You've learned it as well, once you develop a formula, just stick with it, refine it and get better instead of trying to go eat in every pot.” -Axel Monsaingeon Connect with Axel Monsaingeon: Website: https://www.realestateeffect.ca/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/realestateeffect/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/veryrealestateeffect/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/axel-monsaingeon-42577b28/?originalSubdomain=ca Podcast: https://www.realestateeffect.ca/podcast Connect with Dave Dubeau:  Podcast: http://www.propertyprofitspodcast.com/  Website: https://davedubeau.com/home  Investor Attraction Workshop: http://www.investorattractionworkshop.com/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thedavedubeau  LinkedIn: http://linkedin.com/in/davedubeau  Enjoyed the Podcast?  Please subscribe on iTunes for updates
