  • In this video I talk about all the cash money you will need to prepare in order to buy your first condo. We use $500,000 as a nice round number for simplicity purposes to show you how much land transfer tax you will pay, lawyer fees, home inspectors and other additional things you may want to think about once you close on your first property. And as always, working with a Realtor to purchase your condo is free as the seller is responsible for paying the commission - most of the time! Feel free to contact us if you have any questions or are ready to make a move!

      not a must but lawyers generally won't close the deal without it. Only costs $200 for the life of the time you own the property so why not??

    Hi Pete,
    Very informative video. For someone with an annual salary (FT) of $90K before taxes plus about$100K in savings, how much max mortgage in your opinion do you think the person would get approved for? I have heard conflicting opinions from other individuals who say they will get 4X thier salary while other have said it can go up to 5X and even 6X depending on credit score and lending habit. What is your thoughts on this? Please respond. Thank you

      I make $95k a year and have 150k in saving. I was pre- approved for 580k easily with 20% down payment with zero debt. My credit score is 850. So in your cases you should not have any problem getting 550k mortgage

    So if a condo costs 500k and the usual rental return on 500k in capital on a rental is 1% then you should be able to collect $5000 a month in rent. A 500k condo in Toronto right now will collect if you can even get a renter is between $1700-2000 a month. How does this even cover the mortgage? It doesn’t. You have insurance, condo fees, maintenance and the other 100 thing that come up. Who on earth would throw their money down this hole? I guess the real question is do condos have to sell at real prices to what they rent out at? Can the industry live on fantasy land of negative carry forever?

    • @ThePeteLy
      @ThePeteLy  3 роки тому +4

      Selling prices and rental rates in some cases are completely detached from one another and remain so even during these unusual times. But we always must factor in WHEN people bought - if they got something 10 years ago and at current rental rates (minus pandemic) then they'd be cash-flowing. Buying at current prices will not cash flow unless you're putting 30-50% down and believe it or not, there are those who can/do that! Thanks for the comment

      @jeffotoole4509 3 роки тому +3

      @@ThePeteLy so putting 250k down on a condo and renting the other 250k out to still not be cash flow positive people are actually doing this? How do you convince people of that? I guess to make this market right we need to bring prices down to what they were 10 years ago. This craziness still never ceases to amaze me that someone would give a client the advice to plunk 250k down on a condo to rent it at negative carry. Welcome to 2020.

      @@ThePeteLy If from investor point of view, say all 500k is borrowed over 30 yrs. For every 100k borrowed, monthly repayment is around 450 dollars principal + interest. 450 * 5 = 2250. Rents out for pre pandemic 2100 or during pandemic 1800. Lost of few hundreds per month. But the equity gain from the property is way more. Throwing all 500k into one property is bad strategy. Leverage on others peoples money always a better option. Just need to be careful with the interest rate risk. Which government seems keeping it low. I prefer to calculate it this way.
