Investing In The US As A Canadian… And How To Do It RIGHT!! (feat. Erwin Szet...Volition Properties
=== Investing In The US As A Canadian… And How To Do It RIGHT!! (feat. Erwin Szeto) ===
Ever been curious about Real Estate Investing in the US?? At Volition, for the past 14 years, we have been focused on helping investors invest in over $250M of real estate and generate $100M of wealth in the Toronto market, but we are always open to learning more about other business models and learning from other investors.
The US has always been an intriguing market to invest in. But the US is a big place… if you’re interested in investing in the US, you probably have a lot of questions, like:
☑️ Specifically WHERE should you invest?
☑️ What are the best markets to invest in and why?
☑️ How much are property prices there?
☑️ What are the returns like?
☑️ What is cashflow like?
☑️ Compared to investing in Toronto or other cities in Ontario, what are the benefits / tradeoffs?
☑️ What ownership structure should I use?
☑️ What are the tax implications?
☑️ Can I get financing?
☑️ What are tenants like?
Enter Erwin Szeto, a longtime friend of Volition. Since 2005, Erwin Szeto and his team have navigated the challenging landscape of being landlords in Ontario. Now, they are shifting their focus and guiding their clients' investments toward the more landlord-friendly environment of the USA. This decision comes after assisting Canadian clients in transacting over $440,000,000 in income properties. Faced with issues like affordability constraints, tenant-friendly laws, rent control, and rental licensing in Canada, Erwin sees a clear opportunity in the U.S. Here, there is a significant influx of investments leading to the creation of high-paying manufacturing jobs. Erwin and his clients are poised to capitalize on these opportunities where landlord rights are stronger and there is no rent control.
To facilitate this transition, Erwin has partnered with and become a client of SHARE, a one-stop-shop U.S. Asset Manager. Founded by Canadians for Canadians, SHARE enables as passive an ownership experience as possible for landlords in the U.S., while still maintaining direct, 100% ownership.

207. “Effective enforcement is important as a means of
maintaining public confidence in the planning system.
Enforcement action is discretionary, and local planning
authorities should act proportionately in responding to
suspected breaches of planning control. Local planning
authorities should consider publishing a local enforcement
plan to manage enforcement proactively, in a way that is
appropriate to their area. This should set out how they will
monitor the implementation of planning permissions,
investigate alleged cases of unauthorised development
and take action where it is appropriate to do so”.

51. Case law catch-up 3
Keevil v SSCLG and Bath and NES Council 9
February 2012 EWHC 322
K applied for a CLU for stationing 2 caravans
and used a plan showing just part of the farm
CLU granted for “all that land known as
[their farm] shown edged red on the attached
plan" but there was no plan attached.
52. Case law catch-up 3
EH granted a caravan site licence for the
whole of the farm.
EN served against two caravans in a field. K
appealed, claiming the use was lawful.
Appeal dismissed, as the CLU applied to a
smaller part of the farm than the CSL.
53. Case law catch-up 3
There definitely was confusion about the extent of the
permission given by the certificate, and it was
unsurprising that the inspector had to decide about that.
If there had been no reference to an attached plan, then
there would be force in the argument that the certificate
could only mean the entire farm. However, the
certificate contained two references: one to the land
known as the farm, the other to a plan. The inspector's
decision, made on the balance of probabilities, about
which plan the certificate referred to, could not be
faulted.

evidence of the apparent breach of planning control
sufficient in the opinion of the local planning authority to
justify the application came to the authority’s knowledge”
65. Deliberate concealment
Discovery by LPA: time limits for applying
for a PEO:
• no overall time limit, looking back to the date of the
apparent breach
• 6 months might run from a date later than discovery of
the apparent breach: “justify the application” e.g. later
discovery of deliberate concealment of the breach
• the need for a certificate, which is “conclusive
evidence” of the date
67. Deliberate concealment
Application
• by way of a complaint for an order + fee
• must serve a copy on the owner, the occupier and “on
any other person having an interest in the land that is an
interest which, in the opinion of the authority, would be
materially affected by the taking of enforcement action”

76. Deliberate concealment
The justices may only make a PEO if
• the apparent breach ... has (to any extent) been
deliberately concealed, AND
• the court considers it just to make the order having
regard to all the circumstances
But what constitutes deliberate
concealment?
77. Deliberate concealment
Commons draft of the Bill as sent to HL
“the actions of a person or persons have resulted in, or
contributed to, full or partial concealment of the apparent
breach”
where
“actions are to be taken to include—
(a) representations made by the person, and
(b) inaction on the person’s part.”
79. Deliberate concealment?
Yes or no?
Mrs Brown in Arun DC?
“In my opinion, the only respect in which Mrs K Brown in Arun can be said
to have “cheated” was in 1996 when she came to let her extension to
students as independent living accommodation instead of continuing to
occupy it, as for the past eight years she had, as part of her own house.
There was no suggestion of any deceit by her either in the obtaining or in
the initial implementation of the planning permission, no suggestion that
she had always intended to use the extension for independent letting, no
suggestion of any positive steps taken by her to disguise her eventual
breach of planning control.” per Lord Brown in Beesley SC.
82. Deliberate concealment?
Yes or no?
Breach of an agricultural occupancy
condition?
If Beesley converted an existing barn into a
dwelling?
83. Deliberate concealment?
Yes or no?
Breach of an agricultural occupancy
condition?
If Beesley converted an existing barn into a
dwelling?
A dwelling is built where it is concealed by
existing features. e.g. a copse?
90. Deliberate concealment?
Applicants say not concealed because:
• bank statements
• medical records
• tax returns
• TV licence
• phone bills
• utility bills
91. Deliberate concealment?
Applicants say not concealed because:
• bank statements
• medical records
• tax returns
• TV licence
• phone bills
• utility bills
But not registered for council tax or to vote
92. Deliberate concealment?
“Whilst it is acknowledged that the building
was constructed in a copse and that the
owners did not register for Council Tax or to
be included in the electoral register, when
considering the evidence as a whole, there
does not appear to be any evidence that
there was any deliberate or positive
deception on the owners’ part to conceal the
building or their address”
93. Deliberate concealment?
Even if “yes” the court has to consider it just
having regard to all the circumstances
• human rights
• length of time since the breach
• extent of deception, if any
94. Time limits after a PEO
The LPA may take enforcement action
serve a BCN or EN
in respect of the apparent breach at any time
within the enforcement year
= 22 + 365 days after PEO is made
without prejudice to the 4, 10 year time
limits
95. Time limits after a PEO
Example: c of u of a barn to a dwelling
Dwelling completed 01.01.11
PEO made by justices 01.10.12
PEO ‘expires’ 23.10.13
Service of enforcement notice by 31.12.14
96. Time limits after a PEO
Example: c of u of a barn to a dwelling
Dwelling completed 01.01.11
PEO made by justices 01.10.12
PEO ‘expires’ 23.10.13

Dwelling completed 01.01.11
PEO made by justices 01.10.12
PEO ‘expires’ 23.10.13
Service of enforcement notice by 31.12.14
99. Watch transitional provisions
Where the breach of planning control took
place before 6 April 2012 AND
the s171B(1) time limits have expired
the concealed breaches provisions DO NOT
APPLY to that breach
Commencement No 4 Order, Article 13(3)
100. Appeals against EN after PEO
What grounds of appeal are available?
a. planning permission ought to be granted YES
b. those matters have not occurred YES
