Investing In a Property

New Tecumseth, Bradford,  Toronto and the entire GTA are excellent locations for investment properties. With strong immigration and vibrant business communities that attract new companies and employers, the rental market continues to have long term strength and stability.

Investing in real estate is attractive for those looking to generate additional income and benefit from the wealth created through increases in property values over time and from mortgage paydown. Real estate investing also lets you diversify your investment portfolio, allowing you to balance risk and have confidence that your investment is going to be there when you retire. If you can’t seem to save, then a rental property can be a form of forced savings and a pension plan for the future, particularly if you don’t have a workplace plan.

I also work with first time buyers who look to buy a duplex or triplex, renting out the additional units to help pay down the mortgage while they make a start on home ownership. Many parents too add up the cost of accommodations for their children in post-secondary education and are often deciding to be landlords themselves, since they know at least one of the tenants and see an opportunity to offset the cost of housing with a sound investment.

You can become a real estate investor with a relatively small amount of down payment. Rental income typically pays for most or all expenses. Since you’ll want positive cash flow and long-term appreciation, it’s important to work with an experienced mortgage professional. It’s also important to work with an experienced real estate agent.
