    Great Analysis with real examples. Something else to consider is that the you can get tax credit for the interest paid on the mortgage, strata fees, insurance, property mgt fees etc,, which is a plus!

    6:55 if the tenant pays the rent and it can take up to 4 month to get them out and lose another month to renovate and try to find a new tenant or maybe just lit the darn thing

    I appreciate the thorough information. My husband and I are exploring investment property options in Edmonton because housing prices in Victoria, where we reside, are quite high.

    Great analysis and coming across unbiased. Was surprised to see the rents so low for 2 beds, I know someone who bought a couple year old 1 bedroom in Langley and is getting $2200 plus utilities. Would have thought 2 beds would be going for $2700+ in Surrey.

    Graeat comparison. I'm renting my twohouse (3bd + den) near guilfrod for 2700/month, I know it's cheaper than the market but the tenants have been there since 2017. Never had issues with them. Rent always paid on time.

    Being cashflow negative =/= mean the investor is losing money............just means that instead of 1000/m of principal paydown coming from the renter, only 700/m is....just means that the rate of return for that investor is 100% going to principal paydown, which is still growing their equity.
    And also, because the monthly return is 'negative', that means new supply goes down and so promotes rental rate increases due to limited inventory. If monthly return was very positive then you would get a lot more new builds to compete and try and take share.

    Can you recommend companies that get your property ready for selling?

    • @SteveKarrasch
      @SteveKarrasch  ปีที่แล้ว

      That depends what you are looking for. So you need a contractor to do things like flooring, drywall and paint? Or do you need staging and an extensive "to do" list of decluttering and clean up?

    How about the aspect that expense (e.g interest expense, strata fee, insurance) are tax deductible

      Expenses are tax deducible, and income tax will apply. But unfortunately I am not a tax specialist.

    Ok smart guy what about the opportunity cost if the down payment. You cited 140k down payment. 5% GICs are plentiful right now. Here is what you would have if you plunked your 140k in boring GICs
    $178,679.42
    Add the dummy investment tax of negative carry $400 a month adding $24000.00. Nit to mention any special assessments or maybe a new toilet and that condo which you had to deal with actual tenants just cost you conservatively over $60,000 to have the joy of being a landlord.
    What’s wrong with this?
    All of it.

      6.6% average growth in Surrey since 1980, not on the 20% down, but the full purchase price. Leverage can be a great thing. Real Estate Investors love Time, Leverage and Growth.

      Nice use of select data friend. Didn’t the height of the interest rate peak in 1981? Ohh right all we have seen is interest rate cuts since Paul Volker snuffed out viscous inflation peaking in 1981. I love it how you guys use select data to form a narrative.
      What say you if we see a run back to 20% rates like it was in 1981? How does that Surrey 600sft dump hold up under that scenario?
      That 6% appreciation you cite can be directly related to inflation and interest rate cuts. I know the sheep are very easily lead but don’t pander to anything but sheep to the cliff.
