Hello fellow investors,My wife and I began accumulating properties earlier this year. To date, we have purchased a total of 3 townhouses and 1 semi detached in Kingston, Ontario. We are aware that Kingston is not on the top 10 list, however it did receive special mention at the QuickStart meeting (small business growth). We are both Kingston natives and are very comfortable with our knowledge of that market. Here is what we have bought so far:Property #1
Financed: $192,749 @ 4.15 var. 40yr am.
Payment: $889 monthly
Taxes: $158 montly
Rental income: $1250 monthly
Townhouse, nice area, 15yrs old, tenants pay utilities.
Property #2
Financed: $173,099 @ 4.15 var. 40yr am.
Payments: $735 monthly
Taxes: $110 monthly
Rental income: $1150 monthly
Semi, decent area, 20yrs old, tenants pay utilities.
Property #3
Financed: $ 195,208 @ 4.15 var. 40yr am.
Payments: $829 monthly
Taxes: $ 184 monthly
Rental income: $1225 monthly
Townhouse, nice area, 15yrs old, tenants pay utilities.
Property #4
Financed: $185,502 @ 4.15 var. 40yr am.
Payments: $788 monthly
Taxes: $162
Rental income: $1225 monthly
Townhouse, nice area, 15yrs old, tenants pay utilities.
All properties were financed @ 0 down, therefore incured a CMHC premium of 7% (included in financed #`s). This premium can be written off over 5 yrs and is the reason we were able to buy 4 properties rather than 1. We have had excellent success attracting quality tenants and are considering buying a few more before the October 15th deadline. We are managing these properties ourselves and don`t foresee the need to budget for management fees. Please give us a shake if we need one. Or, the confidence to proceed...time is ticking.
Thanks in advance,
Marcus Shaver
