Have you always wondered how the world of executive rentals work? How are some investors able to get $3000, $4000 sometimes upwards of $5000 in rents on their condos? Join us to hear Rick Aubry speak! Rick is the Managing Partner at Premiere Suites and will be teaching us all about the world of executive rentals!
For most unsophisticated consumer-level investors, cashflow negative between $200-$400 is a reality when buying a regular investment condo. As sophisticated investors, this isn't good enough for us. We are supposed to be sophisticated, so let's act like it!! By thinking creatively and strategically, we can potentially offset or circumvent this negative cashflow. Executive rentals may be the solution: it may be the rental strategy that we employ in order to support your acquisition strategy, allowing you to continue to invest.
More importantly, learn how this can potentially creates a new opportunity for making condos work again... opening the door to investing in Toronto with lower amounts of investable capital. While we still believe in triplexes in downtown Toronto, not everyone has $300-750k of capital available to be able to buy/create a luxurious cashflowing triplex. But perhaps you have $150-200k of capital available? Wouldn't it be great to also be able to cashflow positive with lower amounts of capital... WITHOUT having to go outside Toronto to the smaller, more risky towns just because it is "cheaper"? While at the same time, rest assured knowing that your property is being occupied by an corporate executive level individual who treat the property like their own?

Buying a home? CMHC could soon kick in 10% of the cost, for a price
https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/budget-cmhc-home-buyers-1.5063204
The 2019 federal budget includes a tantalizing pitch for prospective first-time homebuyers — one that could see Canada's housing agency contribute up to 10 per cent of
the purchase price of a home and bring down the mortgage load for borrowers. The budget offers the program, known as the First Time Home Buyer Incentive, as a way to
help with housing affordability. The government is earmarking $1.25 billion over three years for something its "shared equity mortgage."
Functionally, it's more like an almost interest-free loan — one where the repayment plan doesn't require any payback until years in the future. In order to qualify, an
applicantmust have a household income of less than $120,000 per year and be able to come up with a five per cent down payment — the minimum requirement for an
insured mortgage with the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC).CMHC is the Crown corporation that backstops the vast majority of Canada's housing
market by insuring the loans that finance it. This new program will make its role in the market even larger than it already is. In addition to those stipulations, the program
caps out at four times the applicant's annual income, which means it can only help homeowners looking to buy properties where the mortgage value plus the CMHC loan
don't exceed $480,000. But if a would-be buyer meets the conditions described above, under the program, the CMHC would kick in up to 10 per cent of the value of a
newly built home, or five per cent of the value of a resale.
The CMHC would contribute that much to the home purchase in exchange for a corresponding equity stake in the home. That has the effect of bringing down the size of
the homeowner's mortgage — but comes with a bill to be paid down the line. Precise details of how the program works won't come out until later in the fall, but today the
government provided a rough breakdown of how it might work for a prospective buyer. If a first-time buyer wants to get a home that costs $400,000, they'd have to come
up with a $20,000 down payment, under both the new rules and the old ones.
Normally, they'd have to take out a loan for $380,000 to cover the rest of the purchase price — but under the new program (if it's a newly constructed home), CMHC could
kick in $40,000 toward the purchase price, in exchange for a 10 per cent stake in the home. That brings the buyer's mortgage down to just $340,000 for the home, instead
of $380,000.On a standard mortgage at 3.5 per cent interest, that translates into a monthly mortgage payment more than $200 lower than it would have been for the 25-
year life of the loan. That's more than $2,700 a year in potential savings.

Buying a home? CMHC could soon kick in 10% of the cost, for a price
The catch is that the homeowner eventually has to pay back the CMHC's stake in the property — but not until they sell (or sooner, but only if they want to). The budget is
far from clear on how much the buyer would owe; is it the same dollar amount the CMHC provided up front, or does the bill go up based on how much the house has
appreciated in value? Government officials say details of the plan will be hashed out in the coming months. Craig Alexander, chief economist with accounting consultancy
Deloitte, calls the program a "clever idea" and says the benefits should outweigh the downsides.
"You want to be mindful that the government doesn't put in policies that end up bidding up prices," he said, adding that, on the whole, the plan could help more Canadians
start climbing the housing ladder. The government is estimating the plan could create about 100,000 new first-time buyers over the next three years. But not everyone
agrees there's nothing but upside. Craig Wright, chief economist with the Royal Bank of Canada, calls the program "a solution looking for a problem." He cites research
from the most recent government census in 2016: roughly 67.8 per cent of Canadians owned their own homes that year.
That's higher than ownership rates in other countries — including the U.S., where the rate is 63.4 per cent and falling swiftly. Other world capitals such as Paris (33 per cent
home ownership rate), Berlin (37 per cent) and London (47 per cent) stand in stark contrast to Canadian cities like Calgary (73 per cent) and Toronto (66 per cent). Even
rent-happy Montreal has an ownership rate of 55 per cent, which is why Wright said he's not convinced Canada has a home ownership problem. Which is why he thinks
the program "is more about politics than policy." Worse still, he says if it's done poorly Wright said the program has the potential to undo some of the sensible market
cooling measures Ottawa has implemented in recent years: capping loan terms, setting minimum down payment levels and introducing mortgage 'stress tests' last year.
"Demand will show up now, while supply will show up later," he said. "And in the near term prices could move higher so ... you may make it less affordable to own a home."
Economist David MacDonald, with the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, also says the plan doesn't really do much to help people buy a home more affordably.
"Taking out new loans from CMHC or retirement savings doesn't make housing more affordable," he said. "It just allows for another source of debt financing that must be
repaid."
The government says program details will be hashed out later but, for buyers, the repayment terms are the real wild card. Exactly how much will they have to repay
CMHC? And will that sum be affected by changes in the home's value? "If your house goes up 20 per cent, does what you pay them go up?" Wright asks. "On the flip side,
what if it goes down — do you have to make them whole?"

Journey to $10k Cashflow – PREVIOUS MEETUP
THE THREE MOST IMPORTANTQUESTIONS
Where are you at?
● Tommy: $650k condo
● Gina: $700k condo
● Got married. Rent out both condos.
● Household income: $200k
● Cash $90k, Stocks, $25k, RRSP $10k
Where do you wantto go?
● “Want the flexibility to work when I want to (contract
work, retire early, do something else, etc.)”
● Think: FORM
● Modest goals: $5000/month ($60,000/year)
Whendo you wantto be there?
● When? They don’t know. (But they should know!!).
Typical answer. “I don’t know what is realistic to
expect” is a very common response.
● You need clarity on this!!
51. Sample Scenario
“How do I get $5000 cashflow in 10 years?”
Starting Point:
• Triplex #1 & Triplex #2
• Value: $1.2M
• Mortgage: $960k
• Rent: $5200
• Mortgage: $3800
• Expenses: $850
• Cashflow: $550
Questions:
• How do I retire?
• What's my path?
• What do I do next?
52. Strategy #1: WAIT for higher rents and increased cashflow (which
means buy in better areas!)
Wait 5 years with rents on the rise (5%) and expense rising at inflation
(2%). Tenant turnover is key to getting higher rents.
Triplex #1 & #2 Now:
Rent: $5200
Mortgage: $3800
Expenses: $850
Cashflow: $550
Triplex #1 & #2 After 5 years:
Rent: $6650 (5% growth)
Mortgage: $3800
Expenses: $950 (2% growth)
Cashflow: $1900 ($1350 more cashflow)
(BONUS: 12% of your mortgage has been paid down)
53. Strategy #2: REAMORTIZE to reduce mortgage payments and increase
cashflow
Wait 5 years with rents rising at inflation (2%), expenses rising at inflation
(2%). But you reamortize:
Triplex #1 & #2 Now:
Rent: $5200
Mortgage: $3800
Expenses: $850
Cashflow: $550
Triplex #1 & #2 After 5 years :
Rent: $5750 (2% growth)
Mortgage: $3800
Expenses: $950 (2% growth)
Cashflow: $1000 ($450 more cashflow)
Triplex #1 & #2 After 5 years and
reamortize:
Rent: $5750
Mortgage: $3300 (reamortized over 30 years)
Expenses: $950
Cashflow: $1500 ($500 more cashflow)
54. Strategy #3: GROW by refinancing and acquiring more properties
(Part 1/2)
Wait 3 years with increasing rents (5%), expenses rising at inflation (2%),
and property values rising (7.5%).
Triplex #1 & #2 Now:
Value: $1.2M
Mortgage: $960k
Rent: $5200
Mortgage: $3800
Expenses: $850
Cashflow: $550
Triplex #1 & #2 After 3 years:
Value: $1.5M (7.5% growth)
Mortgage: $900k (7% paid down)
Rent: $6000 (5% growth)
Mortgage: $3800
Expenses: $900 (2% growth)
Cashflow: $1200 ($650 more cashflow)
55. Strategy #3: GROW by refinancing and acquiring more properties
(Part 2/2)
Wait 3 years with increasing rents (5%), expenses rising at inflation (2%),
and property values rising (7.5%).
Go buy 2 more triplexes:
Value: $1.5M
Mortgage: $1.2M
Rent: $6000
Mortgage: $4700
Expenses: $900
Cashflow: $400 (lower cashflow BUT you own 4
triplexes)
Triplex #1 & #2 Refi at 3 years:
Value: $1.5M
Mortgage: $1.2M
Equity Takeout: $300k
Rent: $6000 (5% growth)
Mortgage: $4700 (bigger mortgage)
Expenses: $900
Cashflow: $400 ($800 less cashflow)
56. Strategy #4: DIVEST and pay off mortgages for massive cashflow (Part
1/2)
Wait 5 years with rents rising at inflation (2% growth), expenses rising at
inflation (2%), and property values rising (7.5%).
Triplex #1 & #2 Now:
Value: $1.2M
Mortgage: $960k
Rent: $5200
Mortgage: $3800
Expenses: $850
Cashflow: $550
Triplex #1 & #2 After 5 years :
Value: $1.7M (7.5% growth)
Mortgage: $845k (12% paid down)
Rent: $5750 (2% rent growth)
Mortgage: $3800
Expenses: $950 (2% growth)
Cashflow: $1000 ($500 more cashflow)
57. Strategy #4: DIVEST and pay off mortgages for massive cashflow (Part 2/2)
Wait 5 years with rents rising at inflation (2% growth), expenses rising at
inflation (2%), and property values rising (7.5%).
Sell Property #1:
Property #1 Value: $1.7M
Property #1 Mortgage: $845k
Property #1 Proceeds from Sale: $855k
Property #2 Current Mortgage: $845k
Property #2 New Mortgage (using Property #1 Proceeds): $0
(NOTE: Also need to account for tax, divestment fees, etc.)
Property #2:
Value: $1.7M
Mortgage: $0 (mortgage free!)
Rent: $5750
58. Strategy #5: REFI & RENO, using the equity to increase rents and cashflow
(Part 1/2)
Wait 3 years with rents rising at inflation (2% growth), expenses rising at
inflation (2%), and property values rising (7.5%).
Triplex #1 & #2 Now:
Value: $1.2M
Mortgage: $960k
Rent: $5200
Mortgage: $3800
Expenses: $850
Cashflow: $550

Mortgage: $895k (7% paid down)
Rent: $5750 (2% rent growth)
Mortgage: $3800
Expenses: $900 (2% growth)
Cashflow: $1050 ($500 more cashflow)
59. Strategy #5: Refi & Reno, using the equity to increase rents and cashflow
(Part 2/2)
Wait 3 years with rents rising at inflation (2% growth), expenses rising at
inflation (2%), and property values rising (7.5%).
Reno:
Value: $1.8M ($300k increase in value)
Mortgage: $1.2M
Equity takeout: $300k
Reno budget: $300k
Rent: $7750 ($2000 more rent)
Mortgage: $4700
Expenses: $900
Cashflow: $2150 ($2000 more cashflow)
Refinance:
Value: $1.5M
Mortgage: $1.2M
Equity takeout: $300k
Rent: $5750
Mortgage: $4700 (bigger mortgage)
Expenses: $900
Cashflow: $150 ($850 less cashflow)

Pros:
● Toronto is on the rise. Rents on the rise. Occupancy is on the rise. $/night is on the rise ($210 instead of $200 --> extra
$183 --> $4200/rent, and then you're laughing).
● You only need to get thru the first few years, and then you can decide to continue or not. By a certain point in time, regular
rent will be good enough.
● Executive type of clientele
● Fully managed for you.
● Small M&R handled
● Furnishing is full-service
● You go from cashflow negative to cashflow neutral/positive right out of the gate.
● The likely "worst case scenario" is cashflow negative -$200 (unlikely to happen).
● The likely scenario is cashflow $50-150.
● The likely "best case scenario" is $4300 and cashflow $350-450 (90% occupancy and $205/night).

Cons:
● Rev share. No guarantees. But… if you don't make money, they don't make money.
● It's not "guaranteed" like a regular lease. But you get upside potential for this undertaking.
● Big M&R you pay far (no different, really)
● Another $16-20k required for furnishings in the beginning.
