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.
Erwin is “Making Real Estate Investing Great Again”!!

Do your rental properties have self-closing doors?
The last week of December saw a 3-year-old
starting a fire in the family apartment while playing
with the burners on the stove. The child's mother
found the child and the fire and fled the apartment.
All news reports state that the apartment door did
not close and the fire quickly spread into the hall
and up the stairwell. This fire killed 12 people.
The fire marshall explained that the fire spread so
quickly because the door did not close. Department
of Housing Preservation and Development
spokesman Matthew Creegan says that New York
City cited landlords over 7,752 times in the last year
for violations of the self-closing-door requirement.
It is not known if this was an issue in this fire.
Do you have multi-family units that have doors
opening onto a central shared hall? Do you have
any units that have doors that connect the garage
to the living space? Are those doors fire rated and
are they self-closing? Take the time to educate
yourself on city codes on your rentals and your own
home. Invest a few dollars to upgrade doors as
needed and to upgrade to self-closing hinges where
needed. The life you save could be your own.
Please visit www.MAREI.org/SelfClosing for more
info on fire safe doors and self-closing doors.
December saw two fires in the same small
apartment building in Kansas City. They believe the
cause of the first fire was an electrical problem
they are unsure of what caused the second fire.
What is known, however, is that none of the tenants
had renter's insurance.
When there is a fire in a rental unit, the landlord's
insurance should cover the cost of the repairs to
the building. But when it comes to the tenants
belongings in the unit and paying for a place for the
tenant to stay, unless they have their own renter's
insurance policy, they may be facing the same
problems as the tenants in this Kansas City fire, no
place to live, all their stuff destroyed and no funds
to secure temporary or new housing and no funds
to replace their stuff.
We urge all landlords to educate their tenants on
fire safety and renter's insurance. This is such an
important part of renting a property to a new tenant
that MAREI & National REIA partners
RentPerfect.com, the tenant screening company
prompts your applicants to get a renter policy from

CONTRACTORSHOW TO PRESCREEN & BUILD YOUR TEAM
Robyn Thompson
Many real estate investors shy away
from the house business because they
fear hiring contractors. We have all
heard the horror stories of rehabbers
who lose their shirt because a
contractor took them to the cleaners.
I am here to tell you that contractors
can be your worst enemy or your best
friend, depending if you hire a good
one or a bad one. So how can the
beginning novice real estate investor
make the correct choice- the hard
working team player that gets the job
done on time, on budget and at a high
standard of quality?
The answer is by following all eight of
the critical prescreening steps below.
Ask the contractor you are
interviewing, how long they have
been in the business?
I prefer at least five years of
references and the quality of the
workmanship performed. The quality
of work should be satisfactory to the
homeowner and should have been
completed in a timely manner.
If any of the references don’t check
out do not hire this contractor. If they
gave you false information upfront,
you know they can not be trusted.
Move on to the NEXT quote.
Ask for a copy of the contractor’s
license (if required in your state) and
for a copy of their workman’s comp
insurance.
Once you receive a copy of their
license, make sure to check that they
are not suspended. Also, check to see
if any complaints have been filed
against the contractor with the Better
Business Bureau.
It is absolutely mandatory that a
contractor prove that he or she has
workman’s comp for all the employees
experience in the trades. I want a
contractor who has seen and repaired
every strange, odd, and crazy thing that
could be wrong with a house.
Experienced contractors know how to
estimate all tough projects and
experienced professionals can give an
accurate price to fix any problem.
Inexperienced contractors, on the other
hand, underestimate repairs to get the
business, and then they try to push their
mistake on the homeowner by upping
the price halfway through construction.
The investor needs to say NO. NO is the
most powerful word in the dictionary,
and a rehabber needs to use this tool. If
they did not have the knowledge to
make a good estimate, it is their
problem, not yours.
Ask for three references from the last
three major projects that the
contractor has recently completed.
Once you receive the reference letters,
make sure you call to verify the
10. 10 RE INVESTMENT NEWS WWW.MAREI.ORG
that will be working on the job site
before they start renovations. Why is
this so important? Well, if one of the
workers has an accident, you do not
want to be sued as a potential
employer.
Make the contractor pull all necessary
permits required by your local
building department.
The homeowner should NEVER pull
the permits. The contractor should also
be responsible to pass all necessary
inspections required throughout the
construction process so a certificate of
occupancy (CO) can be obtained when
construction is complete.
The real estate investor should make
it mandatory for all contractors to buy
all necessary materials to do the
renovations.
The investor should never waste their
valuable time buying materials. If the
investor buys the materials, the
I will contact the supply houses to
make sure the contractor is not
behind on paying for materials
because I do not want to give the
contractor a check to pay off an old
bill and they have no money for the
materials they need to buy for my job.
The last words of advice that I can give
to anyone beginning a renovation
project is to make sure every
agreement with a contractor is
detailed in writing with an
independent contractor agreement. A
detailed list of materials required
should be listed in the comprehensive
scope of work. The documents should
have work completion time frames,
penalty clauses for finishing late,
require all permits be pulled and
inspections completed before final
payments are released.
workers could be viewed as the home
owner’s employees per the IRS
guidelines. You do not want this.
The real estate investor should always
demand a six month to one year
warranty of all parts, labor,
workmanship, and materials provided by
the contractor.
This warranty should be in writing.
WARNING: If a contractor will not
provide a warranty and stand behind the
quality of his or her workmanship- DO
NOT hire them!
Real estate investors should never agree
to pay any contractor by the hour.
You pay a fixed price for the complete
job. Never pay the final payment in your
independent contractor agreement until
the project is 100% complete
Ask for financial references (ex: where
the contractor purchases materials).

INCREASE YOUR ROI
by Robyn Thompson
1. Do Your Homework Before
You Buy
Location, Location, Location… Sea
ch out the areas that have low
vacancy rates. Talk to local
realtors, property managers, and
seasoned investors who have
been renting units for over a
decade before you take the
plunge and buy a property.
For example, I want to own
property were supply of rental
properties is low and the demand
is high. I own properties in a town
where the schools are in the Top
50 Schools in America. Demand
for rental property is high and my
average days on market to rent are
usually less than 2 weeks.
2. Price Your Property Correctly
It is important to have the
competitive edge in rent for tenants.
Look at the other rentals in the MLS
and on various rental sites
(www.rentals.com, www.rent.com,
and www.forrent.com). If you offer a
good price compared to the
competing properties, it will rent
faster than the other properties.
3. Make Sure Your Property is in
Drop Dead Gorgeous Condition
All tenants want to live in a really nice
home and when they are happy
there, they don’t move. I had a
tenant in Connecticut that loved their
kitchen and bath in my rental
property and lived there for 12 ½
years! The house was in such great
condition when I rented it to her that I
never stepped foot into the house
during the entire time that she
rented from me.
4. Go After Long Term Leases
with Tenants
This is why I usually don’t raise the
rents on my tenants at the end of
the first year when the lease
expires. I usually offer a 2 years
lease with no rental increase as
long as the tenants pay on time
every month. The longer the
tenant stays in the house, the
deeper their roots go into the
neighborhood and community.
The worry of costly vacancy will
be avoided for more than 24
months.
5. Respond Quickly to Tenant
Requests
by Reducing Vacancy on your Keeper Properties
12 RE INVESTMENT NEWS WWW.MAREI.ORG
13. When a tenant calls about a clogged
toilet, an air conditioning that is not
cooling, or any other malfunction,
then the landlord or property
manager should respond quickly.
Remember that unhappy tenants
move. Move outs are extremely
costly for property owners. I have
some properties that are over $2,000
per month. Those vacancies hurt
your profit margins greatly! I like to
have the maintenance person on
site less than 24 hours for all minor
issues.
6. Don’t Wait Until the Last Minute
Before the Tenant Moves Out
Start advertising before the tenant
vacates so you have multiple new
prospective renters ready and
excited to look at the upcoming
property. I want to do a walk-
through 2-3 weeks the tenants move
out so I can have all the handymen
and contractors lined up to do the
necessary repairs the minute that
the tenant moves out of the
property! Every day that the
property is vacant, you are losing
money!
7. Lease with the Option to Buy
This option will attract a high caliber
Rent to Own tenants who are
looking to test drive a property prior
to committing to home ownership.
In the Rent to Own situation, the
tenant gets time to get accustomed
to the neighborhood, schools, and
surrounding areas without being
rushed to buy a property. They will
be more likely to pay their rent in a
timely manner to avoid losing their
right to buy. This strategy can also
save the 6% in realtor commissions.
If the property is in an area that is
appreciating rapidly, be careful not
to set the option price too low
because you want to get all the
appreciation as the prices in the
neighborhood climb upward.
