IS NOW THE BEST TIME TO INVEST?
LOOKING TO START INVESTING IN REAL ESTATE
Real estate is one of the safest, risk-free ways to earn money. As an investor, you can build home equity and wealth based on the amount of appreciation your property gains and any other cash flow coming from your rental income. Rental income is the most constant form of income and usually covers your mortgage payments and carrying costs. Your real estate wealth is in the appreciation, the increase in the value of your property, not necessarily the rental income. You can build home equity faster with an investment property on the side.
SHOULD I BUY NOW
The short answer is 'yes'. Investing in real estate is absolutely essential for anyone looking to secure their financial future. Currently, the Canadian housing market is booming due to low-interest rates and limited inventory. This has resulted in residential and commercial properties increasing in appreciation much faster, whereas appreciation would have taken years to increase. It’s now happening on a month-to-month basis in almost all regions across Canada. Overall, even amid the COVID-19 pandemic, this is the best time to invest because investors can buy a property and pay less on mortgage payments as their property increases in value.
HANDS-ON OR HANDS-OFF INVESTOR
If you are too busy to take on the responsibilities of being a landlord or simply don’t want to, consider hiring a property management company. Property management companies handle the operations, maintenance and administration associated with a rental property. Their tasks can include anything from balancing budgets, collecting rent, recruiting tenants or fixing broken utilities.
HIRING A PROPERTY MANAGER
Hiring a property manager may be a great option for those who are simply looking to make a profit off of their real estate investment, not become a landlord. This route can reduce the stress and time commitments for an investor, but the fees associated with hiring a property manager could reduce the amount of profit you make. Carefully weigh the pros and cons of both options before deciding whether to become a landlord or hire one.

INVESTING IN REAL ESTATE
There are many ways that you can make the most out of your investment as a beginner. All you need is passion, strategy, and some extra help from seasoned investors. Don’t get cause up in analysis paralysis, focus on these important factors of investors:
DETERMINE YOUR GOALS

BECOME FAMILIAR WITH THE MARKET
The current housing market trends play an important role in real estate investment because it determines how well an investment will do and how quickly it will sell. This is why every person considering real estate investing should get to know the housing market, its history, and any expected changes. One of the best ways to familiarize yourself with the housing market is by evaluating historical data alongside current trends. Real estate is considered to be a cyclical industry because its demand and supply are impacted by economic trends. Assessing data and seeing how the market has changed over several decades will help you understand the market better. We have the most up-to-date information on the market and will be able to forewarn you of any expected changes or downturns.
GET TO KNOW YOUR TARGET AUDIENCE
In real estate investments, a target audience means the demographic that an investor hopes to attract to their rental property and sign as tenants. This plays an important role in the location and type of property that they purchase. For example, an investor that prefers working professionals will need to understand their values and demographics in order to appeal to them. Working professionals typically work long hours in a city or urban area with plentiful jobs. They may also have recently graduated from college or university and have not settled down or started a family yet. Investors who would like to appeal to working professionals should choose a small condominium or apartment unit near an urban centre. The unit’s proximity to offices could attract many working professionals who don’t need a large amount of space. You can determine what a property and location need to attract your preferred demographic by simply evaluating their lifestyle and values.
FIND THE RIGHT LOCATION
Before searching for properties to purchase, a potential investor should determine what location that they would like to invest in. While some cities like Toronto and Vancouver are growing hubs of real estate, there are many other areas in Canada (like the tri-city) that have great potential for successful real estate investments. We encourage you to explore your options before settling on a popular location or one that is close to your home.
When considering locations, every potential investor should complete a market analysis. A market analysis should assess details like the economic, employment, educational and environmental conditions of the area to help determine whether your investment will thrive or be vulnerable in a particular location. For example, properties in a location with population, employment and economic growth will likely increase in appreciation much more in areas that don’t. The information revealed in a market analysis can help protect your investment for the future.
FIND THE RIGHT PROPERTY
After you have determined your target audience and narrowed down the desired location of your investment property, it is time to find an actual property to purchase. This can be a stressful task for any beginner investor, but it doesn’t have to be.
The first and most important quality to look for in a property is whether it has appreciation potential. As mentioned previously, appreciation is one of the most important factors in ensuring that your investment is a success. Look for a property that will likely increase in value over time. This could be a cheap apartment in an up-and-coming neighbourhood.
Properties that need minor renovations or cosmetic changes have great potential for increasing their appreciation value too. Don’t let the cost of these changes deter you from investing.
SORT OUT YOUR FINANCES
Buying an investment property can be an overwhelming task, especially if you are concerned about how it will affect your current financial situation. Little do people know, they are sitting on a pile of cash in their primary residence which can make investing easier.
Home equity, which is the difference between the value of your home and how much you owe on your mortgage, can be taken out as a home equity loan and used for a down payment on an investment property. For instance, if you bought your primary residence only a couple of years ago you will have $100,000's in home equity. Up to 80% of your home equity can be borrowed at rates as low as 1.5%, allowing you to invest in real estate easier. Overall, a home equity loan is a great way to use your assets to expand your financial portfolio.

Real estate investing can feel overwhelming and complicated, especially if a new investor is starting this journey by themselves. Rather than trying to rely on yourself, working with industry expert will save you alot of time and more importantly money.
