August 2020 - Volition Mastermind Meetup
If you’ve opened social media in the past week, you’ve seen the headlines - “Tiny Toronto House - $1 Million!!” and “Record Falling Rents!”. Increasing asset prices and decreasing rents are not exactly the recipe for success. So, as a sophisticated investor, what can you do to position yourself to WIN in this market?
This month’s guest speaker Jin Kim, long time real estate entrepreneur, is navigating the intersection of these challenges and is using two strategies.
1. A combination of short, medium, and long-term rentals to solve the cash flow problem
2. Investing in real estate in alternative ways - (think, development and private lending)
But wait... isn’t that a lot of extra work?? Enter property management.
Join us as we dive into topics like:
· How cash flow is equal or higher (!!!) after being fully managed
· How the short-term rental market is faring during the pandemic
· General costs to switch from long term rentals to short term rentals
· The risks and downsides of this strategy and how to mitigate them
· How to create flexibility and switch between short and long-term rentals

Laneway housing has revolutionized cities like Vancouver and it’s here, now in Toronto. If you’re not familiar with laneway housing, the concept allows the use of the many laneways, which are typically used to access garages and other spaces, and allows for housing development along the laneway. Laneway housing is important to Toronto as it allows for both gentle densification and meets the requirements of the Official Plan.
Savvy developers and seasoned investors are already starting to take advantage of laneway opportunities. Learn how to invest strategically and plan for this massive change to the Toronto housing landscape!
We have an expert in the industry, Daniel Hall, coming to teach us all the critical elements of laneway housing. During this meetup we’ll answer questions like:
- How do I avoid development fees - I heard the can cost upwards of $30k?
- How can I avoid going to the Committee of Adjustments, adding months to my planning process?
- What’s the fastest way to build a laneway house? Are there spec builds out there?
- How can I identify a potential laneway property? What are the zoning rules?
- I heard that you need to be near a fire hydrant, is that true?
- What’s the best way to get services like water, sewage, and electricity to my laneway house?
- What are the parking requirements for a laneway suite?

The secret world of construction financing! Learn how to get the bank to pay for your next project!
You've seen our seminars on laneway housing, renovations, flipping and you want to get started. Who wouldn't be interested in unlocking the potential of a home through construction? Maybe you're creating a secondary suite, running a BRRR investment strategy (buy, renovate, rent, refinance), or building a green laneway suite? But there is one major problem standing in your way - money. How the heck are you going to pay for all this?
Fear not fellow investor - we've got some help on the way! Hugo, Partner at VINE Group, is coming in to talk specifically about the nebulous world of construction financing. He'll walk through strategies and case studies on how to get your construction project financed!

You don't want to miss this opportunity to learn about construction financing in Toronto!
This document outlines an agenda and presentation for a Volition Properties investment mastermind meeting. The agenda includes networking, presentations on market updates and case studies, and a main event on financing strategies for buying real estate. Hugo Dos Reis will present on developing a "financing blueprint" for strategically growing a rental property portfolio. The presentation will cover mortgage lending basics, an approach to real estate investing, interest rates, and a Q&A session. A case study is also provided of a triplex property renovation that significantly increased the appraised value.
The very first book I read that started me on the path to become a real estate investor, was Rich Dad, Poor Dad. In that book, Robert Kiyosaki uses an analogy on how wealth is built.
Think about wealth as water and your finances are a bucket holding that water. Most people have one tap filling that bucket - their job. But they’ve got lots of holes in that bucket - bills, car payments, their mortgage, and **TAXES**. To build wealth, you’ve got to turn on as many taps as possible and close as many holes in your bucket as possible.
Improper tax planning can be one of the largest drains on your real estate investments, so join us on March 20th and lean how to pay less tax! We’ll be covering topics like:
Corporations - When should I incorporate? Should I buy in a corporation? Taxes on corporations? Active vs passive income? Business corps - using profits to invest?
Estate Planning - How do I pass my assets down to the next generation?
Taxation Best Practices - What is building depreciation and why is it important? What is eligible for interest deductibility? How do I deduct the interest of my HELOC?
It’s essential to understand these things even if you only have one property. If you’ve already accumulated a few properties, it’s even more important to correct any mistakes you’ve made. Bad planning can completely kill some investment business cases, home flipping for example, so come learn how to do things right with one of the best in the industry!

Does Investing in Toronto Real Estate Still Make Sense Today?Volition Properties
The single most FAQ the Volition team has been asked in the past few months is: "Does Investing in Toronto Real Estate Still Make Sense Today?".
We will reframe this question that is on everyone's mind, and dive into topics and recent developments including:
- Rising Interest Rates
- Inflation
- War in Ukraine and global uncertainty
- Non-Resident Speculation Tax (NRST) increase
- Open Bidding Process
- Rising Prices
- What is happening to Rents?
- Proposals for City of Toronto changes to the development process to build triplexes/4plexes (and up to 4 storeys)
- Garden Suites legislation
- Restrictions on using HELOC for downpayments
- "Flipping Tax" vs. Principal Residence
- Is this a good time to buy a primary residence / investment property?
- Is this a good time to sell my primary residence / investment property?
MORE IMPORTANTLY... We will be talking about WHAT YOU DO AS AN INVESTOR to be successful in the current volatile environment. As with everything we do, Volition doesn't just read and regurgitate headlines, we will go deep PAST the "research & analysis" that any monkey can do, and actually SYNTHESIZE this into meaningful, actionable strategies and tactics in order to mitigate risk, boost cashflow, and build sustainable wealth.
Toronto has never been an easy market to invest in. Beside Vancouver, it is probably the single most challenging market to invest in in Canada. Volition makes it viable and achievable. We Make Toronto Work! (in fact, HGTV recent tapped us for our thoughts too :))
Indeed... "may we live in interesting times..."

Good Job, Good Income, Still Can't Buy A Primary Residence In The GTA?Volition Properties
This will be a little bit different than our typical Investor Focussed Meetup. Definitely, we will be bringing our Investor Realtor lens and deep insights, but we will be focussing on a different pain point...
In fact, we touch on some of this in the article that HGTV.ca wrote about Volition entitled: "Expert Tips That Will Help You Become a Homeowner Before 40". But in this Meetup, we are going to go much much deeper into actionable strategies & tactics that you can employ... and more importantly, HOW to do it.
Far too often, we hear that aspiring home owners feel that they can't afford to buy a home in Toronto, or North York, or Richmond Hill, or Markham, or Sauga, or wherever they wish they could live. The odds are simply stacked against them – even if they have enough for a downpayment, they can't afford the monthly carrying costs! Instead, they move out to Hamilton, Windsor, St. Catherines, purely because of affordability.
We are venturing out to change mindsets. Definitely, GTA is more expensive than outside GTA – there is no question – and yes, not everyone can realistically afford a home in the GTA. That said, we will offer a different perspective on how to "afford" a home in the GTA, and offer practical solutions and strategies on how to "make GTA work".
Sure, it's not easy. Sure, it might take a bit more work. Sure, it still won't mean that you'll find your "dream home" for less than $1M (or $1.X M, actually!). But for those who are resourceful, purposeful, and willing to do what it takes, Volition's Advisory & Realty services may be able to help turn that dream of home ownership in the GTA into reality.
Virtual Street Smart Tour! Beyond Theory – Multi-Family Conversions.pptxVolition Properties

High-level financials including capital required, ARV, rents, cashflow, and ROI (Hint: It requires deep pockets, but it’s well worth it!)
What we look for in a property and the key physical aspects that make a property a good candidate

Own A House In Toronto For The Same $$$ And Monthly Carry Cost As A CondoVolition Properties
This document outlines a presentation given by Volition Properties on owning real estate in Toronto. It discusses common myths about real estate investing in Toronto, introduces the Volition team, and presents a strategy for first-time buyers and condo owners to "house hack" by purchasing a duplex in Leslieville and living in one unit while renting out the other to achieve similar monthly costs as owning a condo. The strategy outlined allows purchasing a $999,000 duplex with 10% down and renting two units to cover the mortgage payments while living in the third unit.
This report provides an overview of the 2019 real estate market and outlook for 2020 across various sectors in the Greater Toronto Area. Key points include:
- Home sales increased 12.6% in 2019 while new listings declined, pushing prices up sharply. Sales growth is expected to continue in 2020 amid low interest rates and demand.

Everything You Know About Investing in Toronto is WRONG!.pdfVolition Properties
Volition Properties hosted an investor education event to discuss strategies for investing in Toronto real estate. They began by debunking common myths, such as that investment properties don't work or cash flow doesn't exist in Toronto. Volition then presented case studies and models to illustrate how their multiplier effect approach can generate substantial equity growth and cash flow over time through real estate appreciation and leveraging equity. For a sample client couple, Volition outlined a strategy that could achieve their goals of $300,000 annual cash flow within 10 years through acquiring and refinancing triplex investment properties.
Volition Properties. Talking about real estate investments OUTSIDE TORONTO?? What has this world come to??? I bet you never thought you'd see the day, right??
Here's the reality. We know that Toronto isn't for everyone. While we are contrarians in our belief that Toronto is actually a great place to invest (which we've taught for over a decade now!), we realize that different investors have different goals, aspirations, goals, and capabilities.

Enter: Erwin Szeto (…My next guest requires no introduction…) 😂
Just kidding!! Many of you will already know Erwin as a titan in the Real Estate Investment and Wealth Building space; but for those who don't, Erwin has been a bedrock and a beacon of light for investors across Canada. We love Erwin because his ethos mirrors that of our own at Volition… a heavy focus on education, coaching, mentorship, and leveling up everyone around us.
You might know Erwin from Mr. Hamilton, or Rockstar Real Estate, or iWin, or the Wealth Hacker Conferences attended by thousands, headlined by Grant Cardone and Jesse Itzler, or from his podcast "The Truth About Real Estate Investing… for Canadians" that is currently ranked as #81 in the WORLD for Business, or as a four-time Award Winning Investor Realtor, or when he won the Michael Millenaar Real Estate Leadership Award twice, etc, etc, etc… (I'm sure I've missed over half of his accolades). OR maybe you're a client of his wife Cherry Chan's accounting firm (a real estate investor focussed accountant, by the way…!), and together they have a registered charity, the "Hamilton Basket Brigade", that provides warm winter wear to poor school children.
Speaking of Erwin's podcast "The Truth About Real Estate Investing…for Canadians"... Volition's own Ming Lim & Matthew Lee were guests on it not too long ago! Come and watch this episode of "Investing in Multi-Family Downtown Toronto"!
Point is… this is not a Meetup you're going to want to miss. Erwin will be coming to grace us with his presence and will be doing a deep dive into real estate investment business models that are (like Volition's) risk mitigated, headache mitigated (he calls it “return on grief"), consistent, resilient, and scalable. And the kicker is… they are located outside Toronto, so they will be at a much more AFFORDABLE price point, which makes it a more ACCESSIBLE alternative to Toronto for the everyday investor.

More specifically, he'll be discussing areas such as:
- Who is this investment strategy right for?
- Where / which markets? Is it just Hamilton… or elsewhere too?
- What is the investment business model?
- How much are the properties?- - How much capital / mortgage qualification is required?
- Expectations on ROI and cashflow?
- What is this whole Bill-23 thing everyone is talking about?
- How this model is similar in ideology and strategy to Volition's OWN investment business model here in Toronto?

The secret world of construction financing! Learn how to get the bank to pay for your next project!
You've seen our seminars on laneway housing, renovations, flipping and you want to get started. Who wouldn't be interested in unlocking the potential of a home through construction? Maybe you're creating a secondary suite, running a BRRR investment strategy (buy, renovate, rent, refinance), or building a green laneway suite? But there is one major problem standing in your way - money. How the heck are you going to pay for all this?
Fear not fellow investor - we've got some help on the way! Hugo, Partner at VINE Group, is coming in to talk specifically about the nebulous world of construction financing. He'll walk through strategies and case studies on how to get your construction project financed!

You don't want to miss this opportunity to learn about construction financing in Toronto!
This document outlines an agenda and presentation for a Volition Properties investment mastermind meeting. The agenda includes networking, presentations on market updates and case studies, and a main event on financing strategies for buying real estate. Hugo Dos Reis will present on developing a "financing blueprint" for strategically growing a rental property portfolio. The presentation will cover mortgage lending basics, an approach to real estate investing, interest rates, and a Q&A session. A case study is also provided of a triplex property renovation that significantly increased the appraised value.
The very first book I read that started me on the path to become a real estate investor, was Rich Dad, Poor Dad. In that book, Robert Kiyosaki uses an analogy on how wealth is built.
Think about wealth as water and your finances are a bucket holding that water. Most people have one tap filling that bucket - their job. But they’ve got lots of holes in that bucket - bills, car payments, their mortgage, and **TAXES**. To build wealth, you’ve got to turn on as many taps as possible and close as many holes in your bucket as possible.
Improper tax planning can be one of the largest drains on your real estate investments, so join us on March 20th and lean how to pay less tax! We’ll be covering topics like:
Corporations - When should I incorporate? Should I buy in a corporation? Taxes on corporations? Active vs passive income? Business corps - using profits to invest?
Estate Planning - How do I pass my assets down to the next generation?
Taxation Best Practices - What is building depreciation and why is it important? What is eligible for interest deductibility? How do I deduct the interest of my HELOC?
It’s essential to understand these things even if you only have one property. If you’ve already accumulated a few properties, it’s even more important to correct any mistakes you’ve made. Bad planning can completely kill some investment business cases, home flipping for example, so come learn how to do things right with one of the best in the industry!

Does Investing in Toronto Real Estate Still Make Sense Today?Volition Properties
The single most FAQ the Volition team has been asked in the past few months is: "Does Investing in Toronto Real Estate Still Make Sense Today?".
We will reframe this question that is on everyone's mind, and dive into topics and recent developments including:
- Rising Interest Rates
- Inflation
- War in Ukraine and global uncertainty
- Non-Resident Speculation Tax (NRST) increase
- Open Bidding Process
- Rising Prices
- What is happening to Rents?
- Proposals for City of Toronto changes to the development process to build triplexes/4plexes (and up to 4 storeys)
- Garden Suites legislation
- Restrictions on using HELOC for downpayments
- "Flipping Tax" vs. Principal Residence
- Is this a good time to buy a primary residence / investment property?
- Is this a good time to sell my primary residence / investment property?
MORE IMPORTANTLY... We will be talking about WHAT YOU DO AS AN INVESTOR to be successful in the current volatile environment. As with everything we do, Volition doesn't just read and regurgitate headlines, we will go deep PAST the "research & analysis" that any monkey can do, and actually SYNTHESIZE this into meaningful, actionable strategies and tactics in order to mitigate risk, boost cashflow, and build sustainable wealth.
Toronto has never been an easy market to invest in. Beside Vancouver, it is probably the single most challenging market to invest in in Canada. Volition makes it viable and achievable. We Make Toronto Work! (in fact, HGTV recent tapped us for our thoughts too :))
Indeed... "may we live in interesting times..."

Good Job, Good Income, Still Can't Buy A Primary Residence In The GTA?Volition Properties
This will be a little bit different than our typical Investor Focussed Meetup. Definitely, we will be bringing our Investor Realtor lens and deep insights, but we will be focussing on a different pain point...
In fact, we touch on some of this in the article that HGTV.ca wrote about Volition entitled: "Expert Tips That Will Help You Become a Homeowner Before 40". But in this Meetup, we are going to go much much deeper into actionable strategies & tactics that you can employ... and more importantly, HOW to do it.
Far too often, we hear that aspiring home owners feel that they can't afford to buy a home in Toronto, or North York, or Richmond Hill, or Markham, or Sauga, or wherever they wish they could live. The odds are simply stacked against them – even if they have enough for a downpayment, they can't afford the monthly carrying costs! Instead, they move out to Hamilton, Windsor, St. Catherines, purely because of affordability.
We are venturing out to change mindsets. Definitely, GTA is more expensive than outside GTA – there is no question – and yes, not everyone can realistically afford a home in the GTA. That said, we will offer a different perspective on how to "afford" a home in the GTA, and offer practical solutions and strategies on how to "make GTA work".
Sure, it's not easy. Sure, it might take a bit more work. Sure, it still won't mean that you'll find your "dream home" for less than $1M (or $1.X M, actually!). But for those who are resourceful, purposeful, and willing to do what it takes, Volition's Advisory & Realty services may be able to help turn that dream of home ownership in the GTA into reality.

Own A House In Toronto For The Same $$$ And Monthly Carry Cost As A CondoVolition Properties
This document outlines a presentation given by Volition Properties on owning real estate in Toronto. It discusses common myths about real estate investing in Toronto, introduces the Volition team, and presents a strategy for first-time buyers and condo owners to "house hack" by purchasing a duplex in Leslieville and living in one unit while renting out the other to achieve similar monthly costs as owning a condo. The strategy outlined allows purchasing a $999,000 duplex with 10% down and renting two units to cover the mortgage payments while living in the third unit.
This report provides an overview of the 2019 real estate market and outlook for 2020 across various sectors in the Greater Toronto Area. Key points include:
- Home sales increased 12.6% in 2019 while new listings declined, pushing prices up sharply. Sales growth is expected to continue in 2020 amid low interest rates and demand.
- The rental market saw transaction growth and above-inflation rent increases in 2019. Strong demand is met with limited new supply.
- New home sales rebounded in 2019 after years of decline but more land is needed to boost supply.

Presentation on "Algorithmic Trading in different geographies"
This presentation highlights the trading landscape in different geographies and compares them on four parameters:

This presentation was presented by senior QI faculty and co-founder Rajib Ranjan Borah at the pre-conference workshop of the "4th Annual Conference: Behavioral Models and Sentiment Analysis Applied to Finance", in London in June 2014.
The two day pre-conference workshop on "Market Microstructure, Liquidity and Automated Trading Workshop" was conducted at Fitch Learnings, London.

The document analyzes trends in the Greater Toronto Area condominium housing market from 2005 to 2015, finding that condo sales led city of Toronto housing sales during this period, with condo prices growing at lower rates than other housing types. It also notes that the condo development pipeline is leveling off at around 20,000 units per year, with new supply focused in the city of Toronto and downtown core.
This document discusses the state of AI/ML in real estate. It notes that the US real estate market alone is over $1.5 trillion annually with over 5 million homes sold per year. Popular approaches to real estate valuation include automated valuation models using regressions, decision trees or neural networks, comparative market analysis of similar homes, and professional appraisals. The document also discusses sources of real estate data like MLS listings and public records and evaluates a catboost model for home price prediction against other popular models, finding it outperforms them on several metrics. It concludes there is significant opportunity for disruption in real estate analytics through better use of data science approaches and contextual data.
The document provides an executive summary of Toronto Real Estate Board's Market Year in Review & Outlook Report for 2017. It summarizes the key findings as follows:
1) 2016 saw record home sales in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) driven by population growth, low mortgage rates, and strong demand, while limited inventory led to robust price growth. Foreign buyers represented a small minority (4.9%) of transactions.
2) In 2017, seller's market conditions are expected to continue with home sales forecasted between 104,500-115,500 and average home prices projected to rise 10-16% to between $800,000-$850,000. First-time buyers will remain the largest buyer group
Toronto Real Estate Board's MARKET YEAR IN REVIEW AND OUTLOOK REPORT 2017Shawn Venasse
In 2016, the GTA housing market saw record home sales of 113,133 transactions, an 11.8% increase over 2015. Strong demand and low inventory levels resulted in robust price growth throughout 2016. While foreign buyers represented a minimal 4.9% of transactions, domestic demand from factors like population growth, low mortgage rates, and economic growth drove the market. Listings declined in 2016, worsening an already tight supply situation and contributing to price increases.
How to Build Multifamily and Laneway Suites in Toronto!! (feat. Expert Archi...Volition Properties
How to Build Multifamily and Laneway Suites in Toronto!! (feat. Expert Architect - Adam D. Brander)
For the first time ever, Volition Properties is hosting an event that will focus on the architectural design, development, and approvals process of transforming single-family homes into lucrative Multifamily Investment properties. The "4+1" business model (i.e. 4plex + Laneway Suite) is quickly becoming one of the most popular development opportunities in Toronto. That said, if your aspirations are even larger, we will also be touching on development opportunities up to 10 units, and also up to 30 units as well!!
We're thrilled to introduce Adam Brander, a pioneer among development-focused architects in Toronto, specializing in multifamily conversions. Adam's expertise lies in navigating the complexities of building design, approval processes, and permit acquisition. Adam has helped many Volition investors design and get approvals for Legal Luxury Triplexes and Fourplexes in Toronto.
While the City of Toronto has made recent legislative changes which make multifamily conversions more accessible and cost-effective, the process still remains intricate and fraught with pitfalls. Adam will be covering a range of important topics, including:
☑️ What to look for in a development site and in an existing building
☑️ How big are you allowed to build?
☑️ The impact of recent changes brought by Bill 23

=== 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.

You’ll learn:

Part 1: Matthew Lee & Ming Lim from Volition Properties

MORE IMPORTANTLY... We will be talking about WHAT YOU SHOULD BE DOING AS AN INVESTOR to be successful in the current volatile environment.

Financing is the SINGLE BIGGEST CHALLENGE facing real estate investors.
We strive to solve problems, so we’re bringing in a titan in the industry, Hugo Dos Reis. Hugo is a partner at VINE Group, one of the top mortgage brokerages in Canada. They fund billions (that's not a typo!) in mortgages every year and have the expertise to handle complex investor and personal portfolios.
Following on the heels of our January Meetup where we identified Toronto real estate investment opportunities, financing is the next step in the journey to start or continue real estate investing!
Hugo will cover a broad range of topics relevant to both novice real estate investors looking to take action, and sophisticated investors seeking opportunities to take advantage of market conditions and expand real estate portfolios.
***
Key topics:
- Headwinds and opportunities – What should investors do in 2023?
- Proposed OSFI changes (e.g., HELOC regulations) – update on new policies and insights
Industry changes and risk appetite – impact and updates on lender rules
- Reverse mortgages – how and when to use them

About Hugo Dos Reis:
Hugo Dos Reis is a Mortgage Broker and Founding Partner at Vine Group, one of Canada’s leading mortgage companies in volume and the #1 team at Mortgage Alliance Canada for the past five years.
With 12+ years of experience in the financial sector and a Bay Street Alumni, Hugo and his team lead investment financing solutions for clients across Canada. Hugo has provided financial planning education presentations to thousands of investors through seminars and workshops, has authored numerous articles, contributed insights to several news outlets and hosted a financial news segment for the multi-unit rental sector.
His signature client-focused approach, value-added advice, and background in financial planning are what have helped Hugo with his success year over year. Hugo’s philosophy is to “take care of your clients, and they will take care of you.”
In his spare time, you can find Hugo at one of Toronto’s many restaurants enjoying all things food and wine with his wife or at one of the local parks burning off some energy with his two young daughters.
Over the past 7 years, our Meetup has focused on teaching the ‘hows’ of real estate investment to over 4000+ investors – the economic fundamentals, strategies, and business models. In this session, we will switch gears to help you connect your ‘hows’ to your ‘whys’, starting with arguably the biggest reason we seek to build wealth: to support our families – young, old, and future.
Many of us are part of the “sandwich generation” with children and aging parents or loved ones whom we hope to support through our investment strategies. With Toronto’s uniquely challenging context (high costs of living, childcare, education, health/elder care) planning with and navigating toward this goal is an incredibly tall order for most.
This session will feature a recent Volition client and how she leveraged a combination of Real Estate and Private Wealth Management to provide the best housing/care option for her parents, both living with dementia. Our interactive panel session will feature her “Dream Team” of experts/service providers (including Care & Aging Consultants, Real Estate Experts, Private Wealth Management) to share how they used an Integrative Approach to devise and optimize a real estate + financial plan to support her parents and her young family.
While each client/family’s goals and needs are unique, the session will illustrate the immense value of an integrated and empathic team of experts, especially when serving a family during its most challenging transitions. We will show how our team strategically used different investment products (e.g., real estate, structured notes) to help meet her family’s near and long-term goals of high quality care + housing and intergenerational financial sustainability.
This session will address questions like:
- My aging parents own their home free and clear, but do they have enough savings to pay for future health/care costs?
- At what point should I encourage my aging parents to downsize from their house to a smaller/safer place? What should they look for when “downsizing”?
- How do we plan/invest for uncertainty (e.g., health diagnosis/prognosis)?
- I want to keep my aging parents / loved ones in their home for as long as possible … but what if they (eventually) need help? What kind of help might they need, and how do I plan for it?
- Elder care isn’t covered by OHIP?! So, what are our options? What can and can’t we afford?
- How do I help my parents while preserving my financial stability for my own/future children?
- I don’t want to burden my children when I’m older or need care. So, how do I plan ahead?

Toronto’s New Subway Line!!
● Name: “Ontario Line”
● Runs from: Science Centre to Exhibition
● Transit Access: 255,000 more people
within walking distance to transit
● Job Access: 57,000 more jobs accessible
in 45 minutes or less
● Transit Congestion Reduction
○ Yonge/Bloor station: 22% reduction
○ Eglinton station: 16% reduction
○ Union station: 14% reduction
● Planned Completion: “2027” (haha)
● This is a big deal!!
50. @volitionproperties
www.volitionprop.com
Evolution of Subway Line...
● Previously: Downtown Relief Line
● Now: Ontario Line
● Changes:
○ Extended north
○ Extended west
○ Route changed
○ Station locations changed
○ Some track areas above ground now
● Only invest after shovels hit the
ground!! Changes can and will
happen!!
57. @volitionproperties
www.volitionprop.com
What we like
● East Harbour: 38-acres just east of downtown, including 9-acres of green space and 10
million sqft of commercial zoned development (for reference, Yorkdale is 2 million sqft)
● Slated for offices, hotels, retail, institutional, cultural. NOT Residential (under debate).
● Plans to accommodate 50,000+ jobs
● As a transit-oriented community, it’s expected to become the city's second busiest
transit hub, “Union Station of the East”, with significant connections to local and regional
transit - TTC, GO Train and the future Ontario subway line

Roadblocks: Neighbourhood uproar… basically everyone was opposed to it.
Volition’s Take: Overly Aggressive!!
Future Meetup Topic: ???
67. @volitionproperties
www.volitionprop.com
Considerations:
● Have to be selective
○ Specific areas are still in the midst of transition and isn’t quite
there yet
● Limiting characteristic of homes
○ Generally narrow lots :(
● Medium-to-long term hold
○ Rents & transit & gentrification are still forthcoming
● Neutral or slightly negative cashflow
○ Ways to offset: renovate to boost rents, slightly higher
downpayments, build laneway suites
● Gentrification may or may not happen… but we think
it will.
● NOTE: Transit does not ALWAYS drive great places
to invest.
68. @volitionproperties
www.volitionprop.com
Business model for this area
● Turnkey Duplex/Triplex
○ E.g. Upcoming Case Study: 19 Lewis
● Multifamily Conversion and/or Laneway Suites
○ Only for the few properties that it makes sense (wider
lots, laneways, etc.)
● Condos/preconstruction options:
○ Wonder Condos
○ The Logan Residences
○ Riverside Square
69. @volitionproperties
www.volitionprop.com
Evaluating: East Harbour
✔ Focus on new transit stations
✔ Early or anticipated gentrification / city master development plans
✔ Transit is good. Intersection of transit is better.
✔ Fits the Volition Investment Biz Model… (properties do fit, but very far
& few between)
72. @volitionproperties
www.volitionprop.com
Case Study: Turn-key Triplex
● Multi-family long-term hold at Eastern and the DVP
● Vacant, turn-key property listed as 3-self contained units on MPAC
● The house:
○ 2nd - 1 bed, 1 bath, walkout to private balcony
○ Main floor - 1 bed, 1 bath, walkout to private deck
○ Basement - studio, 1 bath, walkout to private patio
73. @volitionproperties
www.volitionprop.com
Case Study: Turn-key Triplex
What We Liked
● Located minutes from East Harbour
● Listed as 3-self contained units on MPAC which assists with mortgage
qualification
Considerations
● Longer term hold may be necessary (i.e. 10 years due to the finishing of
East Harbour)
● Growth could outpace, by how much...? Not an exact science.
● Area could have lower entry point for a freehold (but with
tighter/neutral cashflow)

The business model
● This area already works and Volition Investors already invest here!!
● Volition’s well established business model in this area is getting a
BOOST!
● Incredibly versatile area that supports numerous investment
strategies
● Turn-key, light cosmetic renovations, major guts, conversions and
laneways are all possible

Evaluating:
Dovercourt-Wallace-Emerson-Junction (Triangle)
✔ Focus on new transit stations
✔ Early or anticipated gentrification / city master development plans
○ For an already established area, TONS of stuff is still happening here!
✔ Transit is good. Intersection of transit is better.
✔ Fits the Volition Investment Biz Model
○ Low-risk, high-return investment area!
○ Our target tenant profile already wants to live here!
○ The financials already work here!

Case Study: Triplex Conversion + Laneway
● Multi-family conversion candidate for long-term hold (Bloor / Lansdowne)
● BRRRR: Buy, reno, rent, refi, and repeat
● Main house:
○ 2nd and 3rd floor - 3 bed, 1.5 bath
○ Main floor - 2 bed, 1 bath
○ Basement - 1 bed, 1 bath
● Laneway house: 2-storey, 1,400 sqft

Case Study: Triplex Conversion + Laneway
What We Liked
● Great lot - 25’ x 120’, wide and ideal for laneway suite
● Detached - no party (shared) walls to deal with
● 3rd floor to create a larger 3 bedroom unit
Considerations
● Not a beginner project! Capital intensive, long construction period
● Gentrifying neighbourhood, so the ARV may be less than acquisition +
renos upon refi
● Laneway houses are new and difficult for appraisers and FIs to value

Evaluating:
✔ Focus on new transit stations
○ NOTE: Transit risk is still very prevalent. Don’t invest if your business model REQUIRES a transit station
to be built.
✔ Early or anticipated gentrification / city master development plans
○ Already insanely popular for Professional Millennials
○ Even more is planned for these areas to turn them into thriving communities
✔ Transit is good. Intersection of transit is better.
○ Exhibition: Transit Hub between GO and Subway
○ Others: Connections to Streetcar
❓ Fits the Volition Investment Biz Model
○ Great areas! But areas are mainly condos, not houses.
○ Business model doesn’t work for houses. But, on exception basis, the occasional freehold works (i.e.
Legal Triplex conversion near King/Bathurst).
○ Condos MAY work, but may be neutral/negative cashflow or need bigger downpayment.
104. @volitionproperties

What we like
● Future Access to Major Transit - Mount Dennis
Station
a. Lots of intersections of major transit
i. Eglinton LRT
ii. UP Express
iii. GO Train (Kitchener Line - All Day,
Two Way)
iv. Major TTC Bus Terminal
b. Ground is actually broken and funds are
committed
106. @volitionproperties
www.volitionprop.com
Risks we’re watching
● Tenant profiles
● Gentrification indicators
○ Retail deadzone currently
● Rents and Purchase Price
○ Do the Volition business models apply here?
○ Are there new models that work in this area?
● Timelines
○ Ground is broken, but has suffered lots of delays
○ Will the neighbourhood actually change?
107. @volitionproperties
www.volitionprop.com
Evaluating:
✔ Focus on new transit stations
○ Definitely being built. Transit risk is mitigated.
❓ Early or anticipated gentrification / city master development plans
○ Will it actually gentrify?
✔ Transit is good. Intersection of transit is better.
✗ Fits the Volition Investment Biz Model
○ Currently, does not fit Biz Model.
○ Generally speaking, it’s too far from downtown core and doesn’t attract the tenant
profile we aim for.
○ But we will continue to watch this area to see if it starts changing

What we like
● Currently: NOTHING! (Science Centre
Crosstown Station is being built).
● Future: Transit Hub between Crosstown &
Subway (Ontario Line)!
● What’s Here: NOTHING! Mainly commercial
and light industrial. But not even good
commercial: Celestica, Real Canadian
Superstore, industrial park. Not walkable. No
retail. Definitely not a community...yet.
111. @volitionproperties
www.volitionprop.com
What we like
● What WILL Be Here: Celestica has been
demo’d. “Wynford Green” will take its
place – a 60-acre Master Planned
Community with Residential, Retail, Office,
& Public Space. Science Centre
Station is here!
North
West
112. @volitionproperties

Nearby Stuff:
-Flemingdon Park Station
-Not a lot of existing
low-rise residential (mostly
lower-income apartment
buildings)
Future Master Planned
Community (led by Aspen
Ridge, Lifetime, Diamond,
Context). 4600 residential
units.
Nearby expensive
neighbourhoods!
Nice Amenities:
-Aga Khan Museum
-Shops at Don Mills
-Sunnybrook Park
-Edwards Gardens
Useless Commercial
& Industrial Parks

Risks we’re watching
● Tenant profiles
○ Currently lower-income demographic (esp in
Flemingdon Park)
● Gentrification indicators
○ Lots is planned that will completely change the
area… but will it come to fruition?
● Rents and Purchase Price
○ Do the Volition business models apply here?
○ Are there new models that work in this area?
● Only the NW corner to gentrify…? NE corner is
RCSS and industrial parks. SE corner already has a
few office buildings. SW corner is green space &
Science Centre parking lot.

www.volitionprop.com
Evaluating:
✔ Focus on new transit stations
○ Definitely being built. Transit risk is mitigated.
❓ Early or anticipated gentrification / city master development plans
○ Lots is planned for this area (Master Planned Community – “Wynford Green”). Close
to very expensive neighbourhoods (just east of Leaside and Sunnybrook, etc.)
✔ Transit is good. Intersection of transit is better.
○ Intersection of Ontario Line and Eglinton Crosstown!
○ Direct access to downtown!
✗ Fits the Volition Investment Biz Model
○ Currently, does not fit Biz Model.
○ Our tenant profile currently doesn’t want to live here.
○ Condos are going up around here, not a lot of freehold around here.
○ Don’t know if the financials will work in this area.
○ But we will continue to watch this area to see if it starts changing.
