The REITE Club Podcast - Real Estate Investing for Canadians
Real estate investors, are you aware that some of the recent Federal real estate laws could have tax implications? One that is catching many investors off guard is the Underused Housing Tax. Did you even know that in certain circumstances there is a requirement to complete a new tax form for each investment property, and failure to comply will result in a $10,000 fine per property? Daniel DiManno, Partner at Capstone LLC Chartered Accountants outlines what to expect for filing this April 2023 and subsequent years, what your obligations are, and the implications of not filing or filing incorrectly. The Reite Club recently hosted an event with Daniel DiManno, CPA, CA, discussing the implications of the Underused Housing Tax Act. Daniel noted that there are severe penalties for failing to file for rental properties by April 30th and that the act could be expensive for investors who are unaware of it. He also touched on the new anti-flipping rules stating that if you sell a property within 12 months of buying it, you will have to pay business tax on the entire profit, rather than just 50%. There are exceptions to this rule for those who have to sell due to life circumstances. But the main focus was the "Underused Housing Tax" which is a 1% annual tax that is being imposed on the value of residential real estate in specific circumstances. The tax is meant to target non-primary residences that are left vacant for long periods of time. The tax applies to properties that are not the primary residences of the owners, and that is left vacant for more than six months out of the year. The new UHT return applies to foreign or domestic non-public corporations, individuals who are non-residents or non-citizens of Canada, trustees of trusts, and partners of partnerships. These people are required to file the return if they own residential rental property. Canadian citizens are not required to file the return unless they are part of a partnership. This episode discusses the types of property that are exempt from the UHT return, as well as the types of property that are included. It also explains how to determine whether or not a property is considered residential under these rules. If you own a property that could potentially be considered residential, it could be advisable to file a U H T return in order to avoid any penalties. There are various circumstances under which an individual would be exempt from paying the 1% tax on secondary residences in Ontario. These include if the property is the individual's primary residence if it is rented out for at least 180 days of the year, if the property is seasonal or inaccessible, if it is undergoing renovation, or if the owner has recently purchased the property. If the owner of the property dies, the executor is also exempt from paying the tax for one year. The new tax will be 1% of the value of the property, and the value is determined by the most recent sale price or the assessed value based on property tax assessments. The penalties for not filing the return or for not paying the tax on time are quite substantial, and they increase based on the number of months that the return is outstanding. The Canada Revenue Agency will penalize individuals who do not file a UHT return for each unit they own. The penalties will be multiplied if the individual owns multiple units. The deadline for filing the U H T return is April 30th. There is some debate among tax experts as to whether or not joint tenants or tenants in common will be considered a partnership for the purposes of the UHT, but it is generally believed that they will not be treated as such. The filing deadline for the UHT has not yet been announced, but it is expected to be sometime in the near future. Daniel DiManno provides valuable information on the requirements for filing for the CRA including the need to get a RU number, including the need for businesses to call the CRA and obtain the numbe...

The REITE Club Podcast - Real Estate Investing for Canadians
This podcast features a conversation with two real estate investors and realtors from Calgary, Anthony Therrien-Bernard and Santosh Nathan. They discuss their own real estate investing experiences and strategies, as well as the market in Calgary. Santhosh Nathan started investing in real estate while he was still a student at university in order to become financially independent. He did this by saving up money from his military service and using his mother as a co-signer on his first mortgage. In 2012, Anthony Therrien-Bernard started buying property in Calgary. Despite the oil and gas crash of 2014-2015, their properties performed well. They attribute this to their investing strategies. The speakers discuss how they got started in real estate investing and the changes they've seen in the market over the years. They mention that prices have gone up, but they both feel that it's still a good time to invest. The two realtors met randomly and decided to work together because they both have experience with real estate investing. They help investors find properties that fit their needs and budget. They are both investors first and realtors second, and they feel that this gives them a unique perspective on the real estate market. They enjoy working with investors and feel that they are able to provide a valuable service to their clients. The pros and cons of being a realtor and a real estate investor are discussed. The overlap between the two professions is also discussed. Strategies for getting started in real estate investing are recommended. The Real Estate Investing Academy helps people by providing guidance on what strategy may be best for them, depending on their goals and risk tolerance. They also have a Facebook community where people can ask questions and connect with other investors. In the Calgary real estate market, there has been a shift in prices due to seasonality. Properties are no longer selling for significantly above market value, and investors are more cautious about making purchase decisions. Real estate agents are working to provide more accurate projections and information to their clients to help them make informed investment decisions. It seems that many buyers in Calgary are looking for properties with a "vendor takeback" option, where the seller holds the mortgage for a few years while the buyer makes the payments. However, sellers are often reluctant to do this. There is also less inventory on the market, which is keeping prices high. The content discusses how it can be difficult to find financing for real estate investments, especially when the economy is struggling. However, things are beginning to improve, and investors from outside of Alberta are starting to show interest in the market again. Santhosh Nathan and Anthony Therrien-Bernard discuss their favourite resources for real estate investing and the attributes that have made them successful. They both recommend podcasts and books as great resources for learning and emphasize the importance of having a long-term perspective in real estate investing. They discuss the importance of getting into the market quickly and offer advice for those considering investing in real estate. In order to be successful in real estate investing, it is important to be analytical and have perseverance. Additionally, it is important to treat tenants more like customers than friends in order to stay firm with lease agreements.

Brooke Shang is a real estate investor who has only been investing for five years but has already done numerous deals and adapted her strategies to the market. She started investing in real estate in order to create wealth and reduce taxes and as a side hustle while working a full-time job. She was able to be flexible with her job in terms of hours and location, which allowed her to invest more time in real estate. Brooke took weekend courses and studied during the week, and also had a mentor who was already experienced in the field. She advises other investors to build up a power team of supportive people, including a network of other investors, a realtor, a lawyer, and a mortgage broker. Her first investment property was her previous home, a condo in Toronto. Brooke has since converted a few duplexes into income properties and focuses on strategies that generate cash flow. In this week's podcast conversation, Brooke discusses different real estate investing strategies and how new investors can choose the right one for them. She recommends setting goals first and then learning about different strategies and how to properly execute them. She also says that it is possible to focus on more than one strategy at a time. She also discusses the importance of mindset and education when it comes to real estate investing. She also stresses the importance of creating a win-win situation for both parties involved in a deal. Brooke wanted to write a book to show her son that it could be done and to brand herself. She ended up writing it with her son as an accountability partner, and they finished it in a matter of months. The book is about helping investors invest in real estate, with a focus on mindset and strategy. The author's goal is to help readers feel comfortable getting started, and the book covers lease options and creative financing wholesaling. The best advice Brooke has ever received is to learn like you're going to die. This means being humble and constantly learning in order to be successful.

Alisha Fuss and Patrick Bobczynski have been investing in real estate for a little over a year and a half, and they're currently focusing on properties in the Calgary area. Living through renovations can be tough, but they've managed to stay together and have some fun along the way. The couple offers some great advice for other investors, including tips on how to avoid getting overwhelmed by all the information out there. Alisha and Patrick discuss their strategy for investing in properties with illegal basement suites. They explained that it is easier to legalize an existing suite than to add one from scratch. They also discussed the requirements for adding a basement suite from scratch, which includes two furnaces, insulation, and drywall. Both are real estate agents who specialize in finding and updating illegal basement suites. They say that it is relatively easy to update an illegal suite into a legal one and that doing so can save the owner a lot of money. They advise people interested in this type of investment to just dive in and not get overwhelmed by the information out there. They discuss the importance of taking action and not over-analyzing when it comes to real estate investing. They mention that interest rates have been low for years and are now starting to rise again, which can be a good time to buy for investors. They also talk about a renovation project they are currently working on that is fairly extensive. It is possible to save money by doing some of the work on a property oneself, and that YouTube can be a helpful resource for learning how to do this. They also say that finding good contractors is the most important thing. The episode also covers how to save money on home renovation costs by doing some tasks yourself, such as painting and flooring. It also mentions that demolition can be tricky if you don't know how the finished product will look, so it's important to be thoughtful about what you're taking out. The couple advises that if you are considering doing your own demolition for your home renovation project, it is smart to get someone else's opinion who has done it before or is a contractor. They also say that it is important to have somebody to ask tough questions to when you are unsure what to do during the renovation process. The best advice that Alisha and Patrick have received is to focus on one strategy and to get really good at it. This way, they can avoid getting distracted and can make the most of their time and resources. They also talk about the importance of surrounding yourself with people who are doing what you want to be doing, in order to change your life.

People tend to be looking mostly for buy and hold opportunities. Many of the investors they work with are not here locally. [00:02:54] - Natasha is back on the show. Last time Natasha was on, it was around a year ago. Natasha has been attending live conferences. In Calgary, where there's a lot of newcomers and new industry and businesses popping up here. Natasha talks to people from Ontario almost every day. [00:04:28] - In the last year. A lot of people were interested in moving. People are seeking affordability and a different lifestyle. In Calgary, the benchmark price had only come down a few thousand dollars. The number of sales is down over last year. But the prices are holding steady. By Christmas, the market will be more balanced. [00:07:58] - In Calgary, investors are looking for buy-and-hold opportunities. The downtown and inner city sector is starting to recover. The city is pushing for more density in suburban markets. In the last year, the downtown condominium market has started to appreciate. In Calgary, preconstruction condos are not recommended. [00:12:58] - Natasha bought a 21-unit apartment building in Mission, a trendy, vibrant, inner city community. She also bought a two-year-old two-story multifamily building in Talgreen that was under foreclosure this spring. [00:14:41] - In Alberta, landlords can raise their rents once per year as much as the market will bear. In Ontario they need to give 90 days notice of rental increase. Unless you're rent controlled, anything after November 15, 2018 is not subject to control. Alberta is more landlord friendly. [00:18:11] - In multifamily and commercial, your property valuation is based off of how the business performs in a residential home. When you go to refinance or get an appraisal done, they're just going to look at the comps in the area. In multifamily, you have the ability to change or even your loan to value. [00:21:53] - There are a lot of costs and fees associated with investing in multifamily in Alberta and in Calgary. Investors should be aware of all the fees and be ready to go kind of upfront in terms of Calgary, in particular in the multi-family space and what you need to watch out for in terms of loc...

In this episode, you will learn the importance of:1. Not skipping steps when getting into real estate investing, in order to avoid dangerous mistakes.2. Continuing to educate oneself in real estate investing, in order to stay ahead of the game.3. Knowing how to exit an investment property, in order to maximize one's return. "The best investment you can make is the investment in yourself." Dylan Suitor is a Realtor, real estate investor, entrepreneur, and coach. He is the founder of Elevation Realty and Suitor Enterprises and is passionate about helping others achieve their real estate investing goals. This is Dylan Suitor's story... When I was 18, I bought my first investment property - a student rental near the University of Waterloo. I had no idea what I was doing, but my mom thought it would be a good way to teach me responsibility. I went on to buy a few more properties, including a condo and a house that I flipped. In 2017, I missed the market peak by a month or two and ended up renting the house out on Airbnb instead. I started educating myself on real estate investing and quickly realized that the best investment is in yourself. I joined forces with my business partner, Robbie Clark, and we started buying properties, renovating them, and flipping them for a profit. We've now built a portfolio of over 1000 units, including our largest apartment building of 88 units.

What you will learn from this episode: Learn the key foundation elements of a personal brand Learn to identify & communicate your unique personal brand Find out why real estate professionals need to personally brand themselves Find out why you must know your target audience Attracting the wrong investors for your real estate investing business is a waste of your limited time and resources. Managing a bad relationship is never worth spending your time on. How do you get across your message with clarity and zero in on the right people? In this episode, Paul shares everything about personal brand which encompasses team brand, and company or corporate brand -- understanding who you are, what your unique skills, advantages and strengths are that serve as your key differentiators, and communicating them the best so you stand out from the rest who claim to do the same thing you do. Topics Covered: 03:06 - What he helps people with 04:05 - A brand being more than a logo 05:17 - What constitutes a brand representation? 12:12 - Why identifying your brand truly matters 14:08 - How do you get very clear with your target audience? 16:06 - Using the analogy of dating for attracting the right real estate investors 16:59 - What do people mostly come to Paul for help? 18:38 - How the more you narrow down, the more you attract opportunities outside of your target market 20:29 - A brand being evolving and not fixed 22:35 - What you can do to put information on LinkedIn when you're juggling full-time work and real estate investing as a side hustle 24:22 - Should you brand your name or the company? 26:23 - Talking about Richard Branson's and Robert Kiyosaki's personal brands 27:46 - Touching on branding and exit strategy 28:54 - The two branding pieces that are first and foremost 31:52 - Best advice he got 32:36 - Why the REITE club is his most important real estate investing resource 33:25 - One unique thing about him that made him successful 36:17 - Words of wisdom from Paul Key Takeaways: “Everybody already has a brand. The key is whether they understand what that is, and then how they best communicate that.” - Paul Copcutt “Everything that you do, every interaction, every delivery, every time somebody comes across you or talks about you, you want them to think that thing, that brand. That's what you want to be perceived.” - Paul Copcutt “If the plan is to run a company to be successful, but not leave a legacy, then brand You. If it's something that you're looking that's going to be bigger than you, or it's going to be passed down to family, then branding a company name might make more sense.” - Paul Copcutt “If one is kind of reluctant to shout from the rooftops about their personal brand on LinkedIn, as it relates to a side business, what you might do is choose to set up a company page. There, sell real estate, investment, income, whatever it is, and then promote and add value and try to attract people.” - Paul Copcutt “What are they? Who are they? What do they do? What's the impact that they have? And who they do it for? And why? Why should those people care? So clarity of message is first and foremost.” - Paul Copcutt “Consistency, delivering on that message, so the business card, the email, letterhead, website -- those are all tools to get that message out there. But if you're not clear about what the message is, and you're not consistent, all the great websites in the world, the best looking business cards are not going to be worth anything.” - Paul Copcutt “Don't try and do it all. When it comes to a brand, just pick one or two things and start with that. Don't get overwhelmed by, ‘I've got to have everything in place.' Keep it simple. And just work at it consistently.” - Paul Copcutt *This interview was originally published by The REITE Club in October 2019.

Guest: Robert Hogue, Senior Economist RBC Listen to the full episode at https://www.thereiteclub.com/podcast In this episode, Laurel was able to ask questions gathered from the REITE Club community about what the economy could look like in the next few months and years. As benchmark prices have risen for housing, the fear of missing out has grown even more causing an overheated market. Policies could be put in place by the government in the coming months to calm things down. RBC isn't predicting a market crash but rather a possibly soft or harder landing with prices stabilizing. Canada had been sustaining a 30% growth in population and supply was way too low to meet demand. Guest speaker Robert Hogue, Senior Economist with RBC explains this and more. Listen to the full interview to find out how you can use this information as an investor. Part 2 of 2 - the 1st part of this interview was an overview of the current market macroeconomic situation.

What you will learn from this episode: Learn how to find opportunities and create your brand that people connect and resonate with Find out how to work on your brand to grow your real estate business Learn how to avoid getting stuck and do away with analysis-paralysis mindset to get going and scaling 3R's - Read, Resource, Reflect Read: Millionaire Real Estate Agent - Gary Keller Resource: Canadian Real Estate Expert - Don R. Campbell https://donrcampbell.com/ Reflect: "Ready. Fire. Aim" - Sarah Larbi Summary: How do you gain traction in your real estate business? Many of us are getting stuck with the analysis-paralysis syndrome, and it's not getting you anywhere with it. We say, get started, don't aim for perfection, and work on your brand. Sarah Larbi is an invited keynote speaker & workshop facilitator sharing her 7-step investing approach at regional & national real estate and investment conferences & events. As the host of the popular podcast “Where Should I Invest?”, Sarah interviews fellow real estate investors on their specific strategies and tactics. Sarah's 7-step approach has been highlighted in media outlets including The Toronto Star, News Talk Radio 1010, and various investment media. As the REITE Club co-founder, Sarah co-leads monthly events and coaches and mentors new and established real estate investors across Canada. In this episode, Sarah shares how she quit her day job and replaced her income with her real estate investing business in three years. With a clear vision and personal branding that she worked on, she was able to put herself out there. That's how you make connections and for people to reach you. She underscores that if you are looking for some opportunity to create, you have to share what you're doing. Share it on social media and a website. Also, work with somebody who's been able to help other people in different capacities and specifically real estate related. She also talks about how company culture ties into personal branding. Topics Covered: 02:07 - A backstory of how Sarah and Paul started working together 04:17 - How branding helped her real estate business and replaced her day job income in just three years 04:51 - Getting traction with her brand 07:04 - Starting a podcast and being consistent with it 08:34 - The motto she lives by that got her to where she is today 09:01 - What she recommends new real estate investors on how to get started from a branding and marketing perspective 11:54 - Who she looks up to in terms of personal brands in real estate 12:39 - Personal favorites in terms of personal brands 13:28 - How company culture ties into your brand 15:08 - What Sarah Larbi brand is up to these days 16:51 - Sarah's inspiring words for real estate investors: Ready, fire, aim, don't wait for perfection. Even if you think it's perfect today, it will be something that you want to change down the road anyway. Key Takeaways: “It doesn't have to be perfect. In terms of a deal in general, if you're looking for some opportunity to create a brand and you share what you're doing, share it on social media, share it on LinkedIn. If you're doing it professionally, you probably want something like a website to be able to have to send people to rather than, email or Gmail or Hotmail.” - Sarah Larbi “Just get started. Done is better than perfect.” - Sarah Larbi “From a branding perspective, it was nice to be able to work with somebody that's been able to help other people in different capacities and also specifically real estate related.” - Sarah Larbi “I think the other part of branding is being able to create those connections. If you're out there, you've branded, you've got a website, you've got a path and a plan, the doors open so much for you. Even my podcast, just making sure that it's frequent and it's actually planned properly. And it's done well.” - Sarah Larbi “From a culture perspective, that's probably what I paid the most attention to, versus what brands have.” - Sarah Larbi Connect with Sarah Larbi: sarahlarbi.com Instagram Connect with Paul Copcutt: reibranded.com LinkedIn E:podcast@paulcopcutt.com Music: Thank you to Zoax for the intro music

We will talk about ideas, share resources, strategies, and tactics both online and offline to help not only showcase your brand but make it the one that people want to follow, like and ultimately do business with. Other marketing and brand experts will join in from time to time to look at what else it takes in building a real estate investing business and what you need to make it successful and achieve the results you want. We know as a busy real estate investor you want to take action. So this show is not going to be heavy on the theory or involve complicated steps or systems. Each episode is intended to be valuable, cut to the chase, and actionable so you can begin to implement quickly and easily to get the results you want in your business. Episodes will be coming out every week so you will have a regular nudge to take consistent action - one of the pillars of a strong brand. Ultimately the show is here to help you get clear about what you do, what you stand for, and who you do it for so you can get noticed by more of the right people who want to do business with you. We want to help you become brandtastic. So if you have an established real estate investing business and want ideas to get your brand in front of more people or you are a newer real estate investor and want to know what others are doing and what's working then this show is for you. Is being brandtastic easy? No. But our intention is to help make things for you a little clearer and actionable. We encourage you to dive in, get listening and if you like what you hear be sure to subscribe so you don't miss an episode. Thank you for listening and let's get to work on making YOU brandtastic.

In E035, Sarah Larbi discusses how she became a BRRRR real estate investing expert and built her personal brand. Sarah works full time, co-runs a meet-up group called The REITE Club, co-hosts the REITE Club Podcast, hosts the Where Should I Invest Podcast and gets up at 4AM to help get it all done inside her typical day. Sarah is a machine and she outlines one of the deals she's recently done in which she bought a property, renovated it and refinanced it and was able to pull out $39,000 on top of everything she'd put into the property. This is what I like to call "the Perfect BRRRR" and all I mean by that is that any time I can pull money out of a property beyond what I have into it, that property is actually helping me to buy more! iTunes and Google/Android Listen Links: https://linktr.ee/theandrewhines Connect with Sarah Larbiinstagram: https://www.instagram.com/investorsarahlarbiemail: sarah@sarahlarbi.comwebsite: http://www.thereiteclub.com Connect with Andrew Hines oninstagram: https://www.instagram.com/theandrewhinesfacebook: https://www.facebook.com/theandrewhines Greater Hamilton REI Meetup Group: https://bit.ly/2VSSc9i Some Specific Discussions from this podcast: Property management and rentingfinding on market deals and securing them quicklythe PERFECT BRRRR investmentwhy a 1 month rental agreement my be advantageous in Ontariobeing effective and getting results Andrew's Gear https://www.andrew-hines.com/andrewsgear Music Info, Artist: JPB, Song: High, NCS Release: Feb 1 2015, No Copyright Copyright Free

We are consistently energized and inspired at our monthly REITE Club live events by people who are doing great things in real estate investing. That's the speakers and many members of the audience. Sadly not everyone is able to attend every meeting, or you are just too far away to make it to a live event. We wanted to bring that energy and knowledge right to where ever you are, hence the podcast! We are going to interview people who have shown success in real estate investing and learn what they do to succeed, lessons learned and what they are doing now to keep things moving. After you launch something, you need to feed it and grow it. There's no such thing as “if you build it, they will come.” That is why we'll dig into the strategies and tactics our guests executed to make their initiatives grow, and the results they achieved. The idea is to learn actionable marketing and growth concepts from our guests, then take those concepts and be able to immediately apply them to grow our real estate investing businesses. In summary, this podcast is going to be about being inspired by and learning from people who are growing and succeeding. Podcast format Now let's talk a little about the format of this podcast. Episodes will range from about 30 minutes to an hour. Each conversation is going to be a little bit different based on the guest's background, but we will to stick to a consistent format so you know exactly what to expect in each episode. But we won't apologize if a conversation goes in a certain unexpected direction because we feel you will benefit from the guests insights and experience. First I'll introduce our guest so you'll know who they are, what company they work for or business they own, and what their role is. We'll talk about their background. We'll dig into the decisions they made, their inspirations along the way, and how they got to where they are today.
