7 Rules for Successful Real Estate Investing

1. Invest for the long term. Real estate cycles last 5 to 7 years on average. Make your purchase with that in mind.

2. Invest in growth areas. A good resource for growth forecast in Urban Futures Institute. Their website is http://www.urbanfutures.com/

3. Look for game changers like new highways, bridges, and airport expansions. These are game changers over the long term.

4. Buy in communities that have a degree-granting university. This ensures a steady demand for rentals.

5. Buy secure cash flow properties. Houses with secondary suites, duplexes, fourplexes, 2+ bedroom apartments near the university.

6. Consider resort communities. Remember 1000 baby boomers turned 60 today and that will continue everyday for the next 8 years. They have worked for years and now want to play--golf, skiing, etc.

7. Work with a REALTOR® who knows the area you are interested in and can supply you with new listings as they hit the market. Your REALTOR® can also refer you to a good mortgage broker.

The Big Money Returns to Kelowna Real Estate

OMREB stats Oct 1-25, 2010

111 single family homes sold on MLS®.
11 were over 1 million dollars.
That's 10% of single family homes sales over $1 Million!
83% are between $350,000 and $550,000
7% are from $550,000 to $999,000

There are Two Markets at Work Here

The out of town buyers picking up bargain priced luxury properties over $1 ,000,000.
The local buyers finding a place to live.

It is interesting to note that the condo market has a few out-of-town buyers picking up lakeshore bargains in the $500,000 range, but over 80% of condo sales are local buyers with prices from $200,000 to $300,000.

During the boom of 2007, condos outsold single homes, now single homes outsell condos 2 to 1.
It's a great time to be a buyer: bargains abound, money is cheap, and only a few are taking advantage.

 Overheard at Tim Horton's,
"If I knew they would sell it that cheap, I would have bought it myself."

Make offers, someone might accept.

Re: Article in Kelowna Cap News by Jennifer Smith 10-20-2010

"Hard for students to find shelter"

Students thrust into high-end housing markets need someone to help them find shelter before hitting the books, a UBC Okanagan graduate says.

In conducting research for his masters degree in human geography, Jamie McEwan said he unearthed horror stories on the lengths some students need to so go find a place to live in Kelowna.

McEwan conducted 30 interviews in an exploratory case study of students aged 18 to 30 searching for rental housing in 2009 and was told by his interview subjects they knew of six to eight people sharing a one-bedroom apartment and even one person who pitched a tent off campus while attending UBCO.

"Students are coming here thinking that within two weeks to a month they will be able to find housing for year and it's simply not happening," McEwan said.

More students than places to put them!
Premier Canadian Properties has a suggestion to address this challenge.
Here is our possible Win-Win solution.

Invest in these properties and become a landlord to students and destination golfers as well.

 2 bedroom, 2 bath units near UBC Okanagan
priced from $265,000 to $300,000
20% down, low mortgage rates and a high rental demand.
 Only 7 units left at this price.
Rent to students September to April, then short-term to golfers at nightly rates from May through to September. (Just save a week or two for your own use!)

HIS HAS OPPORTUNITY WRITTEN ALL OVER IT!
Positive cash flow for years to come.

IT'S NOT ROCKET SCIENCE - IT'S REAL ESTATE!

SURE, THE MARKET HAS CHANGED AND IT WILL CONTINUE TO CHANGE. IT IS THAT VERY CHANGE THAT CREATES INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES.

So what is changing and why?
How can you position your investments to take full advantage of those changes?
The biggest change is that in years past, homes were built one at a time. In recent years condos are built 50,70,100 and more at a time.
When hundreds of builders build hundreds of condos there is an oversupply.
You can take full advantage of this by sifting through the ordinary deals and picking the best. The oversupply creates a unique opportunity for the wise investor.

When should you buy?
When most others are trying to sell
When prices have leveled or softened
When inventory is plentiful
When borrowing money is cheap
When the ratio of sales to listings is low.

When should you sell?
You probably should keep all your real estate
but if you really want to sell, do it when:
Most others are buying
When prices are high
When inventory is low
When money is easy to borrow
When the sales to listing ratio is high.

Lets examine the risks

If I buy investment real estate and rent it out and values drop, someone else is renting from me and making my payments. I gain because my tenant is buying real estate FOR me.
If I buy and values stay the same, I gain because my tenant is buying it for me.
If I buy and values increase, I gain even more because my tenant, bless his heart, is buying it for me.

What risk???
I gain it goes up and I gain if it goes down. Some else buys it for me.

See not rocket science, just real estate.

Where should I buy?

Find out where people want to live most and buy there. More on that in my next newsletter.

WHAT YOU SHOULD BUY NOW IF YOU ARE:

1. A First Time Buyer:
I know you want a fancy new home with all the extras and a big mortgage. NO! NO! Pick a modest 2 bedroom home with a basement suite, on the bus line to UBC Okanagan. There is a good selection under $400,000. The low price, low mortgage rates, and rental income will help pay it off quickly, then don't sell it. Keep it and use the equity to help buy your fancy house.

2. An Investor looking for cash flow:
Pick a 2 bedroom, 2 bath apartment condo with resort zoning near UBCO. These can not only pay for themselves, but offer a 7% return on your down payment each year. You should buy 2 or 3 over the next few years. Let the renters make you a millionaire in 15 or 20 years.

3. Relocating and have sold your previous home:
There are excellent buys on luxury homes since 82% of the market is between $400,000 and $550,000.There is not much action on the $600,000 and $700,000 homes.
You might also want to consider downsizing to a golf course or lakeshore condo. There are some exceptional homes at attractive prices.

Market up? Market down?
Everyone has an opinion!

One day its doom and gloom:
The listing inventory is high
The number of sales is down
The interest rates are rising
There are too many people unemployed

The following day, "The recession is over"
The average home price is up
The interest rates are near all-time lows
The selection of properties is excellent
The number of building permits (jobs) is up

Who is right?

When in doubt, Google it!

Google analytics measures the number and origin of the unique visits to our website.

The 18 months prior to May 2010 showed the visits to be about half of the traditional numbers and the origin to be mostly local. The sales during that period were less than normal and almost all local buyers. The sales were modestly priced homes $400,000 to $550,000 and condos $200,000 to $350,000.

Google analytics mid May to mid June, 2010
Unique visits to www.pcrealty.ca
Local 60.8%
Vancouver 17.4%
Alberta 11.5%
Ontario 3.4%
Sask. 1.3%
Others 5.6%
This is a huge change which is no doubt driven by the weather, the economy, and demographics.

So.....is the market changing?
Will luxury homes and condos start selling?
Will demand for lakeshore and golf properties return?

Google says, YES!

My last 10 sales look like this:
6 local buyers
2 Alberta buyers
1 Vancouver buyer
1 U.K. buyer
Viva La Google!
