Haben Sie vielen Dank!

There has been some mention here of the private equity markets and how you essentially are buying an income stream from a stock for 3-5 times earnings vs 10 + times earnings in the public markets. You lose whatever protection you had from fraud and other risks that comes with the higher due...

Does anybody have any idea how much it would cost to replace 20 apt bldg lobby mail boxes? Thanks

I have unsuccessfully tried to wholesale properties and second aaron's comments. OTOH a good investor friend started with nothing but 30K credit card debt and wholesaling was how he turned it around and two years later is 100 K net worth. So it can definitely lead to great things.

What is the fair split on the following scenario: I have a multi family zoned plot of land with no mortgage on it sitting beside a complex I own. I'm looking for a JV builder partner who will put up the building (23 units) using their own operating line of credit or financing which is paid out...

Brad - Can you give the quick version of the two or three different ways to spread the gains - I only know of the vendor take back 2nd mortgage way. Thks Thomas - so the two tax components in this scenario are capital gains on 1 mill value between 1.5 and 0.5 cost (or the marginal rate on 50...

Are capital gains taxes calculated on net proceeds of sale after mortgage repayment or on gross proceeds without taking into account mortgage repayment? Ex - 20 unit building sold for 1.5 million. Older owner who has depreciated the building to 0 $ cost base over the years, but has mortgage...

Thomas et al - in one of the markets I target and know well an old owner I've been pursuing for months and months has finally decided he wants to sell his portfolio to me. One bldg is a mixed commercial/apt building with commercial units below and residential above. The breakdown is about 50/50...

What would be a fair JV split where a 20 unit building was bought but had a lot of value added in the first year of operations? Refinancing is not an option due to mortgage terms. 1.5 mill purchase price with 300 K down and subsequent rent increases taking the value to 1.9 mill. Mortgage just...

Now TD Waterhouse doesn't allow arms length mortgages to be written by plan holders, I need to choose one of B2B/Olympia Trust/Can Western Trust as my new self directed RRSP plan holder to switch my account to. I write mortgages so as to provide some seller financing in order to maximise sales...

Tony, what is a CPA?

I realised writing the last post that fundamentally once one hits a certain size and profile then one concentrates not so much on finding deals to generate 1-3-5 % above normal market returns for that asset class but using your track record to pool money and then taking the 1-3-5 % spread...

So far we have the following ways to get a big portfolio quickly: 1 - slowly, through capital of one's own or JV relationships which means building a big database and creating a lot of relationships plus a track record with one's own capital 2 - faster, through learning how to pool capital...
