TBH without even thinking about the university we bought a preconstruction principal home near where the university will be. I wanted to make sure that if not positive there won't be any negative effect on real estate for our home.

Hello Mat, I'm not actively looking right now. But I would like to start gettin an idea about what's out there. Please feel free to send me any investment property listings/recommendations at [email protected] Thanks.

Hello, What would be the effect of a new university campus in existing real estate in the future if a university comes to town. For example, Milton and Brampton Ontario both announced a university campus in their towns. Will the universities have positive or negative effects ? I'm thinking...

Thank you Tina and Hilary.

We are currently in the process of converting our basement to a rentable basement apartment. Does anyone have any experience with ductless range hood in a basement? Would they hold up or cause more problems than solve in the long-run?

Very helpful! Thanks so much for your response, Dan.

How is it dealing with students? With students there would be a lot of turnover but better cash flow vs doing long-term rentals? What is your experience? Also, what kind of appreciation are we seeing in London currently? (Couldn't find online). Have you seen much rent increase in the...

Same question

Has anyone invested in London Ontario? There isn't much talk of London. Is that a good place for cash flow + decent appreciation compared to say Hamilton or Kitchener/Waterloo? If yes, why is it a better investment?

Another thing to keep in mind is that this Condo requires a 20% deposit! In my opinion (I'm not an experience md investor) it is too high! Normally on preconstruction the deposit is aroun 10%

Hello Dear REIN members, What are your thoughts on Stoney Creek area in Hamilton. If a cash-flow neutral property comes up in that area, would it be a good investment from an appreciation perspective, particularly near the expected COnfederation Go station? What is the going rental rate...

Hi rupinder, I receive a lot of info on GTa and area condos. One of the realtors sent this to me. I'm not investing in either. Just thought I'd share in case it helps you. 1. The launch of M city Condo with a huge hype. Over 1000 Real Estate Agents stood in the queue in freezing cold...

Interesting post. I am also interested to know how things have gone for you since your last post and whether you can share info on your business model.

How do they work? Are they partnerships? What are some investing vehicles without you having to put your own money?

Same here

I'm sorry I meant to create a new post! So sorry

Hello everyone, I'm a new member and looking forward to gaining knowledge and insight into beginning my real estate investing adventures! What are you thoughts on investing in a pre-construction home in Cambridge, Ontario?

We bought an MLS listing without a realtor. Definitely saved close to $20k. We made it clear to the seller than he will save 2.5% plus tax because they will have to pay only the seller side of the commission. It worked out for us because we knew this area inside out. May not work out all...

I have limited experience and k have made loads of mistakes over the last 8 years mainly regrets. Based on what I regret, I recommend the following: 1. Buy a family home first. 5% is totally fine as long as you can afford to pay the mortgage and interest. If it's going to be your first...

Not at all. I just meant that Toronto and immediate suburbs as far as Newmarket Burlington and Ajax are already so expensive. So I'm looking for opportunities outside of GTA but still close enough to be able to invest where I don't have negative cash flow. What would be the best city in...
