To begin, you need to know a few things about becoming an owner of a revenue property. Let’s see how you do with our TRUE/FALSE statements below...
TRUE OR FALSE: You always need 20% down to purchase a rental property.
A: False! The government of Canada changed their policy to purchasing a revenue property and mandated that a real estate investor must come in with 20% down through traditional banking methods. That part is true; however there are a couple of options to get in with less than 20% down...and even as little as 5% down payment if you are moving to a new owner occupied home and turning your existing home into a rental property; allowing you with the best interest rates on the market!We can walk you through exactly how to do this.
TRUE OR FALSE: Owning a revenue property means headaches / land-lording / and chasing tenants.
A: False! However it may be true on some occasions...it depends really. Are you going to look after the property yourself, or will you have a property management company who looks after everything and makes your life much easier? Did you know that the average cost for a property management company to look after your property is 10% of the rent each month? Considering they look after interviewing, qualifying, and keeping on top of the maintenance of your property...that’s a deal. We can guide you to an easy, convenient, and cost effective management company that will look after your needs in owing your revenue property(s).
TRUE OR FALSE: Owing a revenue property will automatically make me rich.
A: False! There is no guarantee that simply by owning a revenue property, that you will become wealthy. However, historically speaking - choosing the right property, real estate representative, accountant, financial advisor, management company, and mortgage broker - your chances of creating wealth in time through real estate investing is dramatically increased!
