June 2012 Monthly Report

June 25th, 2012, Owen Bigland

June 2012 Monthly Report After a strong run in the residential real estate market over the past several years, more and more people have begun asking questions about commercial real estate and its viability as an investment product. The answer to this question is that commercial real estate has proven to be a strong, stable investment, especially when compared to the recent volatility in the stock market or the infinitesimal interest rate returns being paid out by banks. BC, in particular, has seen a disproportionate number of fortunes being made in commercial real estate (http://www.vancouversun.com/health/Cancer+donation+sets+record/6676983/story.html). In fact, 4 of the 8 BC-based billionaires made their fortunes thr ...

Flipping is Dangerous!

June 22nd, 2012, Owen Bigland

Flipping is not dead! There are an elite group of pros that can make a good living by flipping properties. I see fantastic deals on condos and homes that if bought by the right investor can be fixed up and flipped for a decent profit (sorry no doubling your money in 60 days type deals. Those are for HGTV in some sleepy city in the Southern US) or fixed up and rented as a long-term rental property (I love these kind).  Unfortunately I also see uneducated real estate investors make some pretty basic mistakes and end up loosing their shirts. My advice is if you're going to invest in Real Estate take the time to learn how to do it right. Don't just jump in and try and hit it out of the park with your first deal. Talk to the pros; get e ...

Why would an investor buy a Pre-sale Condo?

June 6th, 2012, Owen Bigland

I had to check my calendar to make sure it was 2012 and not 2007. A Vancouver Pre-sale development that won't be built for another 2 to 3 years sold out in 1 day and some people camped out overnight to snap one up. According to the news many of the buyers were investors? I have to shake my head at these kinds of speculators. Back in 2007 the condo market was uber hot and pre-sales were being snapped up by investors who were going to flip them for a quick profit. But it's quite a different market today in a number of ways. First we have plenty of comparable move in ready inventory units that are actually priced at or in many cases below what these pre-sale prices just sold at. Second we are in a buyers market right n ...

Selling a Tenated Property

June 5th, 2012, Owen Bigland

Selling a tenanted property can be a tricky proposition these days. When I get a phone call from a client wanting me to sell their tenanted property I have a quick list of questions that I ask to see how we want to go about it. In BC you cannot give a tenant notice to vacate until a firm offer is in place. Then you need to give him or her 2 clear months to vacate plus 1 months rent as compensation. The first question I ask is it a fixed term tenancy and if so when does it end? If it's ending soon... great let's wait until just before the tenancy ends and we'll list it. If it doesn't end for a while or it's a month to month we have to look at plan B. I suggest we use a form called a "Mutual Agreement to End Tenan ...
