In E109 of the REI Hot Seat, Andrew Hines, Brad McCrae, and David Hulshof discuss a promising property deal near Bruce Power, Ontario.
The property stands out for its financing flexibility, qualifying for CMHC programs with only a 15-17% down payment, allowing for immediate positive cash flow.
It offers significant development potential, with existing income from 12 storage units and the ability to expand with up to 16 additional residential units.
The discussion highlights the advantages of investing in smaller communities, where municipalities are more cooperative, making zoning and permitting processes simpler than in urban areas.
They also explore efficiency upgrades, including adding coin-operated laundry and heat pumps, to increase cash flow and tenant satisfaction.
The team highlights the deal's low-risk nature, supported by multiple income streams and development opportunities, making it ideal for investors seeking stable returns and growth potential. The episode concludes with a teaser for upcoming REI courses and a call for audience suggestions.
