Inheritance money, how to invest it in Red Deer?

 𝐈𝐭'𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐮𝐧𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐨𝐟 for people in this generation to inherit money. If that happens, how should you spend it?

In many of the cases, young people are ill-prepared for the inheritance they come into, so they end up losing it.

Sometime ago, we interacted with a couple different young people who had just inherited $40,000. In one scenario, someone persuaded them to lend all their money for an unproven investment with no guarantee of any return, they made a grave mistake and sadly lost all.

In another scenario, Bryce had a financial discussion with the other party whose interest at that time was buying a new car. Bryce explained that instead of buying a car that will just depreciate, they could buy a house with a basement suite and a garage and rent them out and the house would pay for the car but they replied, "it just doesn't work like that, Bryce"!

But you see, it does actually work like that!

About that same period, Cole and Bryce bought a house for $245,000 and put down $12,500 as down payment. Then they rented it out for $1200 up and $800 down and that's not even including the garage. Their rental income less payment worked out that they would have cash flow of $363 a month (net profit).

Over the seven years since then, they’ve paid down their mortgage from $232,500 to $155,200. They would have had some improvements here or there but they have also paid down an average of $1100 a month over those seven years.

So, Instead of buying a $10,000-$15,000 car that would be worth close to nothing in 7 years, they bought a house that has appreciated by $80,000 and they have paid $77,300 off their mortgage PLUS they get cash flow of $30,492 over those 7 years, which is more than enough to buy a car.

In summary...

By investing $12,500 in a house, they would've had a total gain of $187,792 in seven years, while investing $10,000 in a car they would have close to zero to show for it in seven years and would probably be needing another new car.

This just goes to show the value of financial education for our kids and that you don’t need a lot of money to get started.

Answers to real estate questions

Some people don’t like paying CMHC fees, myself though, I’d rather get 4 houses with 5% down each, than 1 house with 20% down to avoid CHMC fees especially while interest rates are so low.

 

Recently, a past client called us wanting to sell their home because they wanted to downsize. Instead, we helped them refinance their home and r͟e͟d͟u͟c͟e͟ ͟t͟h͟e͟i͟r͟ ͟m͟o͟n͟t͟h͟l͟y͟ ͟p͟a͟y͟m͟e͟n͟t͟ ͟b͟y͟ ͟$͟1͟,͟0͟0͟0͟!͟ We always consider ways to help you keep your real estate rather than selling it if it’s in your best interest!

Bryce:

I’ve gotten a lot of 𝐟𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞. 𝐈 𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐦𝐲 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐈 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝟏𝟑 because someone passed away and we used the inheritance as a downpayment. Then, my dad helped me buy a house when I was 18. When my Dad passed away I bought 3 more houses.

 

🅽🅴🆇🆃, I partnered on a 7-unit apartment building, using none of my own money and I own 25% of it. Every month, my net worth goes up because my mortgages get paid down. Every month I get cashflow and every month my mortgage gets closer to being paid off completely. 𝐈 𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 $𝟏𝟎,𝟎𝟎𝟎 𝐢𝐧 𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡! Just imagine when the mortgages are paid off and consider what that rental income will be like with inflation calculated.

 

𝐌𝐲 𝐦𝐨𝐦 𝐚𝐥𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐬𝐚𝐲𝐬 “𝐒𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐠𝐢𝐫𝐥𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐞𝐬, 𝐈 𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐬. 𝐏𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐝𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐞𝐬.”

 

Penny owns an oceanfront condo in Hawaii with a 270-degree view of the ocean (she tries to get there a few months each year). She borrowed against her inheritance (a cash value life insurance policy) to purchase it. She paid $625,000 USD, it’s now worth $800,000. She also purchased it when the dollar was almost on par! WOW!

 

𝐈 𝐩𝐚𝐲 𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞-𝐭𝐨-𝐧𝐨 𝐭𝐚𝐱 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐬! You can depreciate your rentals by about 3% a year, plus you can do a depreciation schedule on your appliances and depreciate those at about 12%. As the owner of rental property you get to write off your mortgage interest, taxes, insurance, utilities, repairs, etc on your rentals. On a $300,000 rental, you’re getting a $9,000 depreciation to write off (3%) against your personal income… YOUR PERSONAL INCOME!

 

𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐩𝐚𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐭𝐚𝐱 𝐨𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 cash flow and often it carries over into your personal income, reducing the amount of taxes you’ll pay.

 

𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐑𝐑𝐒𝐏𝐬! Though super-funding your RRSPs is still a great idea! I know someone who borrows $10,000 on a line of credit each year right before year-end (to avoid paying unneeded taxes) and puts it into his RRSPs. He then takes the $2,000-3,000 he gets back in taxes because of the extra contributions and pays off the line of credit. He makes it a goal to pay off the line of credit before the end of the year, and repeats! Some years, when he first started, it took all year to pay off that line of credit but as time went on he was able to pay it off earlier! Now, after decades of doing it, he’s got wealth! Proverbs 13:11 “Wealth gained hastily will dwindle (like GME stock), but whoever gathers little by little will increase it.”

Air Bnb publically traded stock Red Deer

 

𝗔𝗶𝗿𝗕𝗻𝗕 will be a publicly traded 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗰𝗸 𝗮𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗗𝗲𝗰𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟭𝟬𝘁𝗵! Their stocks will be selling at $44-$50 per share.

We love AirBnB!

As a 𝒔𝒖𝒑𝒆𝒓 𝒉𝒐𝒔𝒕 Airbnb has offered to sell shares to its super host status members. They are setting aside some shares so that we can get in on the Initial Public Offering (IPO). That’s pretty great of them!

Someone once told me, “𝗯𝘂𝘆 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗰𝗸 𝗶𝗻 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘂𝘀𝗲”. I also heard an interesting thought from a lawyer in town. He thinks the reason they are going public is to sell the company since there are very few private parties big enough to purchase the whole company. It will be exciting to watch this unfold and see what transpires. Regardless, this is purported to be one of the hottest stock offerings of the year!

Can I buy just a garage in Red Deer?

I often say, “I love houses but I love garages more”. We were talking with friends from London and they mentioned that garages, where they live, can cost up to £500,000 which is about $864,000 CND. Out of curiosity, I googled “cost of garages” and this one is for sale currently at £750,000. This is for a tandem double garage which is almost $1.3 million. I think I’m on the right track... I should buy more garages.
Food for thought: when you’re looking for a home, garages are a great investment!

Capital gains versus Cash flow Red Deer

“I learned the difference between cash flow investing and capital gains investing from a herd of cows.

When I was 16 years old, rich dad took his son and me to visit a cattle ranch. The ranch was a beautiful place to visit.

On this visit to the ranch, we happened to see cowboys herding cattle from the feed yard to the slaughterhouse. Although rich dad took us away before we could see any cattle being slaughtered, we knew what was going to happen… and so did the cattle. It was an experience I will never forget.

A few months later, rich dad took us to a dairy farm. Early in the morning, we saw the farmer herding his cows into the barn for milking. These cattle behaved very differently.

The financial lesson rich dad wanted us to learn was that, while both the cattle rancher and the dairy farmer count their cattle as assets, they treat their assets differently, and they operate via different business models.

The visits to the ranch and the farm were to emphasize the very important difference between two investing strategies:

Capital gains versus Cash flow

Simply put, a cattle rancher can be compared to a person who invests for capital gains. He has to keep finding and raising new cows. It's non-stop.

A dairy farmer is more like an investor who invests for cash flow. He only needs to maintain his cows rather. It’s much easier work.

One of the reasons so many people lose so much money investing, or think that investing is risky, is because they invest like ranchers. They invest to slaughter rather than to milk.

I invest to milk.

Milk makes ice cream!”

Red Deer money for house

When house shopping, many people think the hardest part of getting a home is finding it. Actually, the most difficult part is finding the money to buy it.
Right now, the banks are being very conservative in their lending policies so you may have to go to two or three mortgage brokers (yes mortgage brokers not just banks) to find financing. You could have to dig, and then dig some more, looking for money in the ocean of possibilities. Sometimes, you may have to put more money as a down payment than you thought you would have to. Sometimes, you may have to pay off some extra debt so that you can afford the home you want. You may have to buy a home with a suite in it so that you can afford to have a nicer home with income generated from the basement.
It is not easy to pry the money out of the bank's hands; you have to be determined! If you get turned down once or twice, it’s not a sign; just a sign of the times. You have to persevere because only the strong and tenacious will be able to succeed in getting financing for a home.

Red Deer real estate deals how do I know if I am getting a good deal?

When people are buying houses—especially lately— they seem to think that as long as they get the house for a lot less than it’s listed at, then that’s a good deal. This is not necessarily true!

“You can buy something that’s worth it or you can negotiate down something that’s not” —Penny Kander

What I mean by this is: if a home is well priced, then it may sell for over list price and still be a good deal.
Inversely, a home could sell for $50,000 less than it’s listed for and still not be a good deal (as in a good price for that home, in this market).
So when you’re looking at homes, you really need an expert who can find the information as to what the property is worth, in order to establish whether the property is a good investment, and therefore in fact “a good deal”.

Can I buy a house without a Realtor in Red Deer?

Previously, we met a new client and showed him a couple of homes. When we called to follow up, he said that he found a private sale and had snapped it up. “Oh, Ok. Where is your new property?” He went on to describe the location. (he was from out of town and was not familiar with areas in Red Deer)
Then he added that the home had an illegal suite
Now, a few years later, he wants to sell the property but cannot because:
1. He will lose money.
2. The house is located in an area that is difficult to sell.
3. Illegal suites aren’t as easy to qualify for as homes with legal suites.
4. The suite could be shut down and he could be fined if discovered.

Don’t go shopping without us! When you’re purchasing a home, we are a free service for you. NOT hiring an experienced Realtor could cost you more than you know!
