I think it would be difficult on his own. A co-signor with good income level and credit score would be a plus factor for him not to mention 2mos cash deposits on the spot and employer's certificate showing his full-time position and salary. Just my 50cents.

I would think Hamilton Mountain area is a better bet than Stoney Creek. Maybe others have different views or experiences to share?

Well noted. Will incorporate this in the lease. To maximize cash flow/ROI. Excellent point. Hopefully, getting experienced commercial realtor on board will help reduce, if not eliminated, vacancy risk. Well noted. As much as possible we spread out lease expiry dates. Will do for sure. Thank...

Much appreciated Brad3375. Just a follow up question: Would you recommend to pass all conversion/renovation costs to your prospective commercial tenants to meet their space requirements? Or, would you rather let them renovate the unit for a lower lease rate?

There's a wide swing in rents in the area based on the criteria you mentioned. Will do. Thanks a lot Thomas.

We'll consider hiring a local commercial realtor for sure. But, for now, we'd like to get more info as much as we can. The property is located in Waterloo-Kitchener, ON boundary with small to medium establishments nearby. Lease rates widely differ depending on the type/new-old structures. Not...

Hi REINation, First timer in converting a mix-use 1,500 sqft main level unit currently being used as residential into small offices, and wondering what your thoughts are on the following: 1 - How much rent/sqft/month would you be asking for? Rent in the area range from $1.50/sqft for a...

Very well noted. Thanks Sherilynn.

Wanted to report bad tenants to warn Landlords also to check lease applicants. Any recommendations? Thank you.

Hi Tina, by any chance, is there similar report for Niagara Falls, On? Is it a good area to invest? Any insights from the rest? Thanks.

Tried Padmapper but slow system response. I'll try Zumper. Thank you ASanchez.

Great feedback. Thanks

You may want to check City's Planning and Development office or website to inquire as fees may differ between cities. I think rezoning should be done first and foremost and depending on city, it is usually difficult and takes a lot of time, capital/money and the right people. Just my 50cents......

What city or town? Have you rezoned it to subdivision?

IMO: The old buyer's agent is out there to bully and scam you. Don't be fooled. Once agreed conditions are not met within agreed period of time, the seller (you) pockets deposit and free to sell to new buyer. Simple and straight forward as Thomas said:))). However, I think we are missing some...

Thank you Tina.

Any recommendations? Thank you in advance.

I'll forward it to my friends. Much appreciated Marco.

Sonnet is a better choice - reasonable premium, good coverage and excellent customer service. Thanks again, Marco.

Great video. In our part, we have 'house rules' (eg., noise, regular overnight guests, maintenance of the unit, garbage, etc.) listed in the lease application to forewarn applicants of the 'do's and don'ts' (i.e., reasons for eviction or pre-termination of lease) right from the beginning. If...
