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.

How Much Can You Afford? Key Factors to Consider
LOAN TYPE
DOWN
PAYMENT
DETAILS
CONVENTIONAL 5%+
You can put as little as 5% down and as much as you want. Anytime you put less
than 20% down, you will have to pay some mortgage insurance.
FHA 3–5%
The lowest traditional down payment program; there is additional mortgage
insurance.
SECU/LGFCU 0–20%
A program for members of the local State Employees Credit Union or Local Gov’t
Federal Credit Union that offers loans from 0% down with low closing costs.
VA 0%
A special program for military buyers that allows them to put almost nothing
down toward the purchase.
USDA 0% A government insured loan program for low-mid income buyers.
*There are many down payment assistance programs available through our preferred vendors,
just ask us for more information to find out if you qualify.
Closing Costs
You will be required to pay fees for loan processing and other closing costs. These fees must be paid in full at
the closing, unless you are able to include them in your financing. This is called “Seller Paid Closing Costs” and
we will determine with the help of your lender if this is appropriate for your situation.
Examples of closing costs
ƒ Prepaid Insurance ($300–$1500)
ƒ Prepaid Taxes (up to 6 months)
ƒ Prepaid HOA Fees (when applicable)
ƒ Mortgage Origination Fee (1%)
ƒ Appraisal Fee ($450)
ƒ Title Fees ($500–$1000)
ƒ Closing Fees ($750)
$250,000 - $5,000 = $245,000

Making an Offer
Once we’ve found the home you wish to purchase, you’ll need to determine what offer you are willing to make on
the home. After all, you are the one making the payments!
A Note about Multiple Offers
It is important to remember that the more competition there is for the home, the higher the offer will have to be,
sometimes even exceeding the asking price. Remember, be realistic, but it all comes down to market value and
solid comparable sales. Make offers you want the other party to sign!

By far, the most common
is the counteroffer in response
to strong offers. In these
cases, our experience and
negotiating skills become
powerful in representing
your best interests.
When a counteroffer is received, we will work together to review each specific area,
making sure that we move forward with your goals in mind and ensuring that
we negotiate the best possible price and terms on your behalf.

Protection/Inspections
Once an offer is accepted and deposits collected we will begin our “Due Diligence”. This includes:
ƒ Inspections
ƒ Appraisal
ƒ Repair negotiations
Home Inspections
We highly recommend that you have a professional home inspector conduct a thorough inspection. Inspectors are
exceedingly thorough and detailed so as to minimize surprises for you. However, the inspection is not meant to be
used to low ball the seller post-price negotiations, as all existing homes have minor imperfections.
The inspection is intended to report on major damage or serious problems that require repair. Your home doesn’t
“pass or fail” an inspection. The inspector’s job is to make you aware of repairs that are recommended or necessary.
The inspection will include the following:
ƒ Appliances
ƒ Plumbing and Electrical
ƒ Exterior
ƒ Heating and Air Conditioning
ƒ Roof and Attic (if accessible)
ƒ Foundation
ƒ General Structure
Additional inspections may include:
ƒ Wood destroying pest/termite
ƒ Septic
ƒ Well water testing
ƒ Survey
ƒ Radon
Repair Requests
The seller may be willing to negotiate completion of repairs, or you
may decide that the home will take too much work and money and
rescind the offer during the inspection period.

13. Information About Brokerage Services
Texas law requires all real estate license holders to give the following information about
brokerage services to prospective buyers, tenants, sellers and landlords.
11-02-2015
TYPES OF REAL ESTATE LICENSE HOLDERS:
A BROKER is responsible for all brokerage activities, including acts performed by sales agents sponsored by the broker.
A SALES AGENT must be sponsored by a broker and works with clients on behalf of the broker.
A BROKER’S MINIMUM DUTIES REQUIRED BY LAW (A client is the person or party that the broker represents):
Put the interests of the client above all others, including the broker’s own interests;
Inform the client of any material information about the property or transaction received by the broker;
Answer the client’s questions and present any offer to or counter-offer from the client; and
Treat all parties to a real estate transaction honestly and fairly.
A LICENSE HOLDER CAN REPRESENT A PARTY IN A REAL ESTATE TRANSACTION:
AS AGENT FOR OWNER (SELLER/LANDLORD): The broker becomes the property owner's agent through an agreement with the owner,
usually in a written listing to sell or property management agreement. An owner's agent must perform the broker’s minimum duties above and
must inform the owner of any material information about the property or transaction known by the agent, including information disclosed to
the agent or subagent by the buyer or buyer’s agent. AS AGENT FOR BUYER/TENANT: The broker becomes the buyer/tenant's agent by
agreeing to represent the buyer, usually through a written representation agreement. A buyer's agent must perform the broker’s minimum
duties above and must inform the buyer of any material information about the property or transaction known by the agent, including
information disclosed to the agent by the seller or seller’s agent.
AS AGENT FOR BOTH - INTERMEDIARY: To act as an intermediary between the parties the broker must first obtain the written agreement
of each party to the transaction. The written agreement must state who will pay the broker and, in conspicuous bold or underlined print, set
forth the broker's obligations as an intermediary. A broker who acts as an intermediary:
`
Must treat all parties to the transaction impartially and fairly;
May, with the parties' written consent, appoint a different license holder associated with the broker to each party (owner and buyer) to
communicate with, provide opinions and advice to, and carry out the instructions of each party to the transaction.
Must not, unless specifically authorized in writing to do so by the party, disclose:
that the owner will accept a price less than the written asking price;
that the buyer/tenant will pay a price greater than the price submitted in a written offer; and
any confidential information or any other information that a party specifically instructs the broker in writing not to disclose, unless
required to do so by law.
AS SUBAGENT: A license holder acts as a subagent when aiding a buyer in a transaction without an agreement to represent the buyer. A
subagent can assist the buyer but does not represent the buyer and must place the interests of the owner first.
TO AVOID DISPUTES, ALL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN YOU AND A BROKER SHOULD BE IN WRITING AND CLEARLY ESTABLISH:
The broker’s duties and responsibilities to you, and your obligations under the representation agreement.
