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.

Marketing Factors
The entire real estate community includes all of the companies, offices, and agents in
the marketplace. They work together to sell property in an incredibly efficient system of
sharing information. The increasing effects of this cooperation will increase the
promotion that is done on each and every property in the marketplace. It brings
purchasers into the home buying process and after qualifying them to their wants,
needs, and abilities, they can be directed toward the home that meets their
requirements.
Purchasers have a tendency to want to look at all of the available properties that meet
their criteria. They will compare the homes according to value for price, condition, and
appeal. Even if the buyers are not familiar with prices in a particular area, after seeing a
few homes, it is easy to determine whether a home is priced correctly.
The agent’s objective is to get your home sold, not necessarily to be the one to actually
sell it. The sheer number of other agents makes it more likely that someone else will sell
it. The listing agent’s job as marketing coordinator will be to manage the sale to
maximize promotional efforts, represent the seller’s interests, and to use their
experience to make the transaction go smoothly.

We Have Mutual Objectives...
The average Sales Price to List Price ratio experienced on my listings is higher
than the average of the Multiple Listing Service.
The benefit to you is more money after all of the expenses have been deducted.
The average time on the market experienced on my listings is less than the
average of the Multiple Listing Service.
The benefit to you is that your home will sell in a shorter period of time so that
you receive your equity sooner.
Negotiating the most favorable terms regarding mortgage fees, settlement fees,
possession and personal property can be as important as the price.
The benefit of third party negotiation can be one of the most effective services
offered by an agent.

Services Provided
Absorption Rate Positioning
A written report of the transactions
in the neighborhood to identify
similar properties that have sold
recently and what is currently on
the market. You will be advised as
to how many months of inventory
are currently available in an effort
to determine a realistic price for
your property.
Market Preparation
Improving the condition of the
home, "setting the stage" before
showings, and knowing what to do
when the property is being shown
are just a few of the things that will
help maximize the marketing
efforts. We’ll take time to examine
your home and explore the
alternatives to showcase your property.
Special Services
If you have to vacate the property prior to selling, special services can be arranged to
help you with your specific needs such as: collecting the mail, removing advertisements,
maintaining the yard, turning off the lights at night, setting the thermostat at a reasonable
temperature, paying bills and forwarding statements monthly, and reporting to you
monthly.
7. Page 7

• (516) 206-0000
Overpricing
Reduces sales associates activity because they know it is over-priced and
don’t want to waste their time showing it because the seller is unrealistic.
Increasingly more often, selling agents are representing the buyer and have a
responsibility to find the best values for their clients.
Reduces advertising response because buyers as well
as agents looking for a particular type of home in a certain
area become familiar with what is available.
Loses interested buyers who might have looked at it but
didn’t think the seller would consider what they thought it
was worth. Not all buyers are willing to go to the effort to
write an offer, put up earnest money, and take the time it
takes to find out if the seller will take less.
Attracts the wrong prospects because they are
expecting more amenities in the home based on the price
and once they see it, it won’t compare to the other homes
in that price range.
Eliminates offers for the same reason because the wrong prospects are looking
at the home.
Helps sell the competition by making the other homes in that price range look
like they have more to offer.
Can cause appraisal problems even if you were to find a buyer who was willing
to pay more than market value. The lender would require an appraisal which
would demand factual, objective proof that the home was indeed worth what the
buyer was willing to pay for it. The lender does this so that if they have to take
the home back because the buyer defaults, the loan would be covered by the
sale of the property.
Extends market time because of all of the reasons listed above.

Financing Alternatives
Attractive financing can actually
shorten the marketing time and
increase the sales price. I stay up-
to-date with the types of mortgages
that are available and maintain
business relationships with
mortgage professionals to provide
choices.
Financing Concessions can
include seller-paid benefits like
paying part or the entire buyer’s
closing costs or buying down the
interest rate.
80/10/10 Mortgage–calculates the
payments on the first and second
mortgage that equal 90% and the
blended rate compared to a 90%
loan requiring mortgage
insurance. The second loan could
come from a conventional lending
source or from the seller.
Income Estimator - calculates the minimum amount of income and the maximum
amount of debt needed to qualify for a mortgage at a specific rate.
This form could be displayed in an open house or at a listing to give a buyer a rough
idea of what kind of income they would need to qualify to buy this house.
Seller’s Net Sheet - A Seller’s Net Sheet can provide an estimate of the charges
involved based on the contract and experience with local charges from title companies,
attorneys, and lenders.
Rent vs. Own – this form will show three significant benefits of homeownership that
reduce the cost of housing. They include the tax savings, appreciation, and amortization
that don’t apply to people who rent.
If the Rate Goes Up – this form illustrates how much the payment will increase with ½%
increments in interest that might occur while buyers wait to make a decision.
Cost of Waiting to Buy– this form shows a buyer what can happen if they are waiting
for the price on homes to come down. If the price does come down but the interest goes
up, it shows them how much more it could cost them to own the same home.

Home Protection Plan
Home protection plans can increase the marketability of a home by providing a “peace of
mind” extra that competing homes may not have.
A home warranty increases
marketability:
Warranted homes sell up to
50% faster than non-
warranted homes
Homes with a warranty sell
for about 3% more, on
average (Business Week)
Reduced chance the seller
will be asked to reimburse
the buyer for a breakdown
of a covered component
Better chance that the closing won't be delayed by a malfunctioning warranted
item
It provides the buyer with a full year of coverage on the home’s major systems
and appliances after they move in.
In the event that something covered breaks down, only a deductible is paid and
the Warranty Company pays the remainder.
Buyer coverage on selected items:
Central Heating System
Electric Central Air System
Interior Plumbing
Built-in Appliances
Electric Pool Equipment
The seller may also have coverage on certain items while the property is listed for sale,
even before the coverage is paid for.
Homes sell 60% faster and for a higher price than homes without a home warranty
... according to a study by the National Home Warranty Association.

Pre-Appraisal and Pre-Inspection
The benefits of ordering an appraisal and an inspection when initially listing the home
can make the entire marketing process move smoother and quicker.
Establishes Objective Value
The price is not merely set by the
seller but placed on the home by a
disinterested third party whose
profession is to value property.
Validates List Price
If the appraisal and the list price
are the same, there is less
likelihood that the buyer will
discount the “asking price.”
Establishes Basis for
Comparison
The appraisal and inspection can
be used to compare with subsequent reports and can help to validate or challenge their
findings.
Creates Awareness of Condition of Home
A third party inspection of the home by an inspector will identify areas that need attention
and serve as a marketing tool to buyers to give proof to the condition. It can also be
used to challenge claims that the buyer’s inspector might make.
Anticipates Potential Problem Areas
If certain things are identified by the first inspection, it gives the seller the opportunity to
repair them at competitive rates instead of possibly having to rush to get them done prior
to closing.
Saves Time
By understanding what might need to be done to a home early in the marketing process,
it can save critical time between the contract and closing.

Follow-up
I can follow up on prospects that have seen your home without them thinking you're
anxious. A homeowner calling a person who has seen their home can give the wrong
impression that may lead them to think you are desperate.
The problem with a homeowner calling a prospective buyer "to see what he thinks" is
that the buyer might get the wrong impression. You don't want to appear as though
you'll take less money. This could lead to lower cash proceeds for you.
To the contrary, it is natural for a third party like the listing agent to follow up with a
prospect. It is the responsibility of the agent to find out what kind of reaction the buyer
had to the property. This will help encourage a contract and can lead to learning about
adjustments that can be made to make the home more marketable.

Professional Profile continued...
Organized an Open House Tour for Starwood that included 22 homes listed by
17 different agents. Two homes sold that day and another two within one week.
Listed 2417 Russell Creek that had been on the market for six months with
another agent. Had the home professionally staged, repositioned it according to
current absorption rates, and created a marketing plan that sold the home within
30 days.
While interviewing a widower about selling his home of 17 years at 9417 Spring
Branch, discovered that it had been rented for the last 18 months. After
explaining that to avoid paying Income Tax on the gain, it had to be owner-
occupied two of the last five years.
This meant that there couldn’t be a long market time and in fact, it must be sold
and closed with the allotted time frame. Discovering this information and taking
the proper action to guarantee a short market time saved the seller a
considerable amount of money he might have had to pay in tax.
Listed 9419 Dartridge, Dallas after having been on the market for six months with
another agent. To overcome the fact that the home was vacant and didn’t show
well, we arranged for a home stager to furnish the home. We created a
promotional plan that made the property look like it was new to the market. The
home sold within 30 days from the day we unveiled it.
Listed 515 Kirkwood that was inherited by two sisters after the death of their
mother. The home was in considerable disrepair and they didn’t have the money
to make the necessary repairs.
We got firm bids on all work to be done and found a lender who appraised the
home based on the repairs to be done. The lender agreed that with a qualified
buyer, they would make the loan, close the loan, and withhold monies to be paid
when the repairs were completed. This facilitated a single mortgage on the
property.
We then, positioned the home so that the buyer would be in the home for less
than market value after buying the home and doing the work.
Saved a client $124 a month by recommending that she refinance her home 13
months after I sold it to her.
Suggested to a buyer that instead of getting a 90% conventional loan that they
should get an 80% first loan with a 10% second loan instead of a 90% loan. This
saved them the initial premium of $1,800 on the Private Mortgage Insurance due
at closing and 3/8% each month in the payment. In addition to those savings, the
interest rate on the 80% loan was ¼% less than that of the 90% loan.
