I lobve the way that the investor overpaid for a Canadian real estate investment and the first thought is to sell it and invest in more Canadian real estate. Not even a momentès consideration that perhaps Canadian real estate as an asset class is wildly overvalued after a 30 year run of decreasing interest rates and perhaps there might be other places to invest. Even if you are fixated on real estate there is a whole world of it to consider. In fact the world is made of real estate when you think of it.
Cobourg prices have crashed at least 35% and will NEVER go back up again to those levels because hardly anyone is working from home permanently. There is no demand for condos in Cobourg when Toronto proper have thousands of condos sitting empty, which will sell at a discount. The bitter truth is that the Cobourg investors, who overbid like crazy, must prepare to lose at least $150k
Exactly thise places were way over priced and wont get back to those numbers for a very long time Thats why always know what you are buying. Always closest to the core as possible. Even if you pay more.

Really just stems down to what the goal of the parents are. Do they want that nest egg or do they want income… I would have just kept that money in your Rrsp and in a high yield dividend equity and retire off income through dividends. That way you have your money still in the bank and you can take it out if you want depending on how much tax you want to pay
They have an illiquid asset with high transaction fees. That asset is still providing a decent income. The only reason to sell this thing now, and pay the transaction fees, is if they have a nightmare tenant or the place requires major renovation. Dealing with either of those situations would be more expensive than paying the transaction fees to get out.
Did they buy for appreciation or cash flow from rent? Appreciation is long term game at least 7 to 10 years, If it is about cash flow, are they collecting rent or not?
Hahaha. News flash. Last time this happened it took 14 years to get back go even. Toss on inflation it took 17 years. For those who believe real estate only goes up....let me ask you. If that was the case why would there be anything else to invest in? If real estate was a "given". Bahaha. Take the loss. Before the loss accelerates.
@11:20 They did buy into the wrong product. They bought in with 100% equity and they lost $100k. They should have invested in stocks. (@11:45 - stocks are where the better returns will be.) However, since they are obviously focused on buying and hold real estate, and are currently earning around 4% returns on this property, it's pretty obvious that keeping this property is better than selling and buying another one, which will just cost them more money.
The 2,5% increase for our investors/landlords is a joke. Wondering why they are selling? Where the tenants will go? To the hotels? We can't accommodate all the lower income tenants in hotels. You don't help the investors, it's the end of the game. For everyone. Nobody will borrow money. Less taxes. Less people to renovate their investments. Less jobs. More and more will sell and invest in GIC or other things, not in real estate. Long term thinking is the best.

This questions tells me and shows me people have no clue what they are doing and know where to buy.
Knowing where to buy is the key.

sounds like a lot of speculation here, man, these mom and pop investors are good at business!
Should keep it, problem is everyone thinks market will go up 10% up every year. HOLD HODL. Refi and buy something else.
How big is the GTA now? keeps on growing I guess it will encompass all of North America soon.

No Saretsky 👍👍👍👍
Agreed
Shed some light plz
They are losing even if they do not sell. They could have made at least 10% in the stock market with a good financial advisor.
sad
