Month 7 - Due Diligence Consideration

Surrey Real Estate Investment Club

Welcome!

“ There are two types of mistake: mistakes of ambition

and mistakes of sloth. The first is the result of a decision

to do something. It is made with incomplete information,

as it’s impossible to have all the facts beforehand. This

is to be encouraged. Fortune favours the bold!"

~Tim Ferris, The 4-Hour Workweek

Looks Like a Good Deal?

At what price?With what expenses?At what rent?After what repairs?On what terms?

…make an offer…

Looks Like a Good Deal?

The Offer is a legally binding contract, so consult with your Realtor and maybe lawyer before submission

Always make it subject to at least one condition

Terms and Conditions

• Financing• Inspections• Assignment• Lawyer approval• Rental approval• Insurance• Strata documents, PDS• Tenancy contracts / viewings• Fixtures and chattels

Other Contract Clauses

• Purchase Price• Parties• Dates (incl. condition removal)• Deposit

Negotiating the Purchase

This is not a war to be won but a problem to be solved!

It’s not always about price

Property Inspections

• Be present and ask questions• Don’t worry that every small problem

is identified!• Objective:

• Identify items you weren’t expecting• Identify minor flaws that can be

used in the negotiation• Not everything will be found

Selecting a Property Inspector

• Ask for recommendations – other investors, Realtors, friends, family

• What associations do they belong to?

• Ensure they are available• What will they inspect?• How do they report? Sample available?• Can you be present?• Will they upsell repair services?

Final ConsiderationsYou have an accepted offer…now what?

• Secure financing – may need an appraisal?

• Consult with your lawyer

• Confirm insurance costs

• Collect docs – rental contracts, utility bills, strata, taxes

• Review your pro forma for mistakes

• Does this purchase move you closer to your goals?

• Do you know your exit strategy?

• Do you know your true closing costs?

Final ConsiderationsWhen subjects are removed:

• Start advertising!

• Talk to your property manager

When you have the keys:

• Complete a thorough post-purchase walk-through

Now fill your property with great tenants!

Vancouver Investor Forum Agenda

http://www.meetup.com/SurreyREIC/

2013 Vancouver Investor Forum

1. General questions/concerns you have on investing in RE

2. Keeping it Local or Follow the Rainbow ?

In this session we will debate whether to invest locally or find

that perfect deal outside your comfort zone. Completing a

deal in your own back yard has many bonuses including

knowing your market, managing the property & reduced

tenant challenges. But, is it always the best option? With the

U.S. rebounding & Kevin O’Leary naming Calgary as the

sweet spot. Our panelists help you weigh up your options.
