Act now to take advantage of our current offering!

Another summer has passed us by and if your anything like me did not get enough golf days under my belt. Oh well life goes on and so does finding good investments.

There are a couple great articles recently put out and I agree with most of the content. It starts by saying: “There’s a flurry of sales happening at Canada’s outdoor mall, and it has nothing to do with back- to-school savings” I have always been bullish on Canadian retail commercial real estate as always outperforms anything else in the long run. We at Redev Properties are always looking out for good investment opportunities and if you haven’t looked at our latest , Ellerslie Landing and Shoppers Drug you might be missing out, as is two thirds sold out. Remember tax planning is upon us and if you want some tax relief, positive after tax cash flow, and appreciated value please check us out. Call the toll free number 1-866 668 7344 for further information.

A reminder again we at Redev believe in Security, Security and security, this is a prime requirement in prudent investing. Last year a lot of people were disappointed as we sold out in November so don’t be on the short end act now.

Funny thing about commercial real estate, one day it is the flavor, next day not. In the Globe and Mail, we see that transactions are up in Canada by 60 per cent.

I don’t know why that is news?

Anyone in the business knows that good, quality real estate has been hard to buy and that financing is back.

Those with money that have been hoarding cash recognize that they can get a safe and secure return in real estate and that is why they have been buying.

The news is out and it is no longer a secret. Now you will see the rush to market.

Silly isn’t it that we act and react like lemmings instead of focusing on our goals at hand. Everyone jumps in just like the gold rush Klondike days.

We have always known that good real estate with cash flow is always the way to go given good due diligence.

Quick Facts

• There is a surge in sales of Canada’s outdoor malls across the country. With the steady returns generated by these malls as well as a lot of them having tenants like drug stores, banks, and other businesses that tend to weather bad economic times they are also seen as safer than a lot of other investments.
• Oftentimes investors will use comparisons of commercial real estate yields to US Government Treasury Bonds to help determine their investment strategy. The National Council of Real Estate Investment Fiduciaries has calculated that the average cap rate in the second quarter of 2010 was 7.22 percent. That is 4.29 percentage points higher than the yield on 10 year US treasury bonds and the spread has increased since then nearing all time highs. To some investors this is a clear buy signal for commercial real estate.
• It is evident however that investors still need to be careful in choosing which Real Estate to invest in. There has been real demand for properties with high occupancy rates and those properties have seen good appreciation. However there has been very little interest in properties with low occupancy rates.
