Our New Look!

Welcome to the latest version and our new look for the Investor’s Housez update edition. For those of you that have received some of our previous newsletters, this is a big update for us and we would love to receive some feedback.

If you aren’t up to date with what we have been doing, Karen and I formed a small Real Estate Investment Company in 2003 and we have been buying and selling property ever since. As we continue to grow, we are seeing more and more options for our friends, family and acquaintances to take advantage of the tremendous returns available from Real Estate.

These update editions we will send out as changes occur and new Hot Properties appear! As always, if you know of anyone else interested in investing in Real Estate or who is tired of less than double-digit returns on their investments, we appreciate it if you forward this off to them or have them email us for more information.

Hot Properties

The Calgary Real Estate market has been on fire for the last year with average increases of over 11% on property values.

To help you the investors capitalize on this we have an excellent option on a Rent town property that closes October 6th. We are acting fast on this one so do not wait too long.

Key Points on Ranchlands Rent to Own

·         Purchase Price $178,000

·         Monthly Cash Flow $260 ($130 each)

·         Investment Amount $50,000

·         Sell Price in 2006 $199,900 (approx 40% ROI to be split)

We are buying this property for $178,000 in the district of Ranchlands in the Northwest. We’re applying our crystal ball strategy to help turn this from a good return to an excellent return. Although it may sound mystical, our crystal ball has an advantage as it’s simply applying what we know is happening and forecasting how it affects Real Estate.

The big factor we are aware of is the pending Light Rail Transit extension to be completed in 2008 that will directly affect this district. Transit is a huge factor in property values and if gas prices continue their current trends, the effect becomes magnified.

With the property being Rent to Own there is a chance our tenant may purchase at the end of the first year reducing our longer term returns. If this is the case, we have to settle for a high 20% return.

How Much Money is required to Invest in Real Estate?

This question actually seems to be coming up more and more often. Many people out there do not have the ability to write a check for $200,000 as an investment, but you do have $5,000 or more underperforming in other investments, or worse yet sitting in a bank! Previously we never had an option to help you increase your savings, but now things have changed!

One conversation with a fellow investor made it so simple. He explained about multiple small investors coming in on a property and still reaping the benefits. Instead of one investor with $50,000, this allows us to help the beginning (or the curious) investors with only $5,000 each.

As we get more and more people lined up, we simply pool the money. A $50,000 project would require either 10 $5000 investors, or five $10,000 investors. Now instead of waiting years and missing out on some of the early growth and compounding growth, you can start immediately!!

The returns still work out the same for all involved. If it is a $50,000 option, returning 20% each of the $5000 investors would still get 20% on their return. It is truly a win win opportunity for people who were locked out of these opportunities in the past.

If you have wanted to get into Real Estate as an investment and never thought you would be able to now we bring you the opportunity you needed! Call either Karen or Bill at 403-880-5256 for more information or simply email us at info@housez.ca

In Closing

We hope you find this update helpful and we appreciate the time you took to read it. Any feedback or thoughts you can provide will be appreciated. Until next time take care, and if you ever have any Real Estate questions, be it your own home or an investment, feel free to contact us!
