Survey:

More Millennials look to own recreational property A RE/MAX survey released June 6 and conducted by Leger finds 56 per cent of Millennials are in the market to purchase a recreational property. This is up 14 per cent from last year when 42 per cent of this demographic considered buying recreational property.

COMMERCIAL INVESTOR | Commercial Real Estate & Business Opportunities

In 2018, 91 per cent of recreational markets surveyed reported it was Baby Boomers, especially retirees, who were driving the recreational market. The increase in buying intentions among younger people shows the start of a new trend in who will fuel this segment of the property market, and what they are looking to purchase. August 14–September 25, 2021

“We are finally witnessing the long-anticipated generational shift of purchasing power from Baby Boomers to Millennials,” says Christopher Alexander, executive vice-president, RE/MAX of Ontario-Atlantic Canada. “With the high cost of urban living taking many young homebuyers out of those markets, more Millennials are turning to recreational properties as a viable option for home ownership.” Price remains the top consideration for recreational property buyers, with 61 per cent of survey respondents naming affordability as the most important factor. However, liveability also plays a crucial role in the selection process. “This new buyer demographic comes with a different lifestyle and property criteria than those of their Boomer counterparts,” Alexander adds. “Factors like Internet connectivity, recreational activities and proximity to towns with urban conveniences are becoming a more important selling feature.” The survey also reveals that 64 per cent of Canadians want recreational properties to relax and spend time with friends and family. Forty-three per cent say they are able to do things not available at their permanent residence, such as hiking and fishing, with Millennials ranking higher (50 per cent) than Boomers (38 per cent) in this sentiment. When it comes to the actual property, the survey also found that other than affordable purchase price, Canadians who own or would consider owning a recreational property named reasonable maintenance costs waterfront access, and proximity to town as the most important factors when purchasing. These findings differ regionally, with more Atlantic Canadians (39 per cent) August 14–September 25, 2021

looking for seclusion compared to residents in western provinces (28 per cent) or Ontario (26 per cent). Ontarians, on the other hand, are more likely to look into the property’s proximity to town and the accessibility of nearby medical facilities.

Additionally, the findings revealed that 54 per cent of Canadians travel (or would like to travel) to their recreational property in about two hours or less, while 22 per cent travel (or would travel) three or more hours. CI

Key findings from the 2019 RE/MAX Recreational Property Omnibus Survey 1. F orty per cent of Canadians are in the market for a recreational property, 56 per cent of Millennials are in the market for a recreational property 2. Canadians cite the following reasons to own or want to own a recreational property: • I t is where I can go and relax and spend time with friends and family = 64 per cent • I t is a getaway home = 58 per cent • I can do activities I can’t do at my permanent residence (hiking, fishing, etc.) = 43 per cent • It is an investment property = 30 per cent • It is a retirement home = 20 per cent • Other = two per cent 3. Thirty per cent of Canadians who say they use or would use a recreational property as an investment opportunity, Millennials rank the highest at 33 per cent, compared to Boomers at 28 per cent. 4. M ore than half (54 per cent) of Canadians who own or are considering owning a recreation

property are willing to travel up to two hours, 24 per cent saying they would travel two hours. Slightly less (22 per cent) are willing to travel three or more hours. 5. Canadians identify the following features as important when considering their current recreational property or a future purchase of a recreational property: • Affordable purchase price = 61 per cent • Reasonable maintenance costs = 46 per cent • Waterfront access = 45 per cent • Proximity to town = 44 per cent • Reasonable distance from primary residence = 35 per cent • Relative seclusion = 28 per cent • Land access = 24 per cent • Proximity to sports/recreation = 24 per cent • Nearby neighbouring properties = 12 per cent • Island property = seven per cent • Other = one per cent • None, don’t mind which features my recreational property has = seven per cent • Don’t know/prefer not to answer = seven per cent

Winning the game

Why some businesses succeed and others fail BY JACQUELINE MONETA JD WITH ASSISTANCE FROM JAYSON SCHWARZ LLM

As a lawyer of 35-plus years, I have seen many small businesses flourish and many fail. The big question is why some succeed while others fall. Here are just a few comments that may not really be legal in nature, but certainly reflect my observations. In addition, some businesses succeed despite themselves and later, no one can figure out what went wrong. Here are some insights that may prove valuable. 1. Under-financed. Whether it is a start-up or the purchase of an existing business, most new entrepreneurs spend far too much of their funds on sizzle, not steak. What does that mean? As an example, too much money is spent on oversupply of inventory, leasehold improvements or other capital investments that leave the business short of the money it needs for marketing or cash flow until receivables turn over. Maintaining a cash reserve to carry the business through to success is critical.

2. Lack of knowledge. Many people get into a business for which they have lack of training or knowledge. They think they can learn on the job. Wrong. Go intern. Work for a successful company and put in the time until you learn how it should work, what to look out for – and how to run the business.

3. The amazing idea. The one thing I have seen over and over again 24

is a client coming in with the idea that will change the world. He has the next pet rock, hoola hoop, slinky, iPod, etc. There is a huge distance between an idea and fulfillment. Remember, a great idea does not make money – the execution and delivery does. In order to make the idea work, we need to develop a cohesive, coherent and practical business plan in writing. The business plan will allow you to express the detail and direction necessary to make the idea work. By the way, before an idea can be worked on, extensive market research is a critical factor.

4. The Lone Ranger. John Donne in the early 1600s said: “No man is an island, entire of itself, every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main.” In other words, you need to recognize that every successful small business succeeds as a result of a team put together by the entrepreneur. If we try to do it alone, what is quickly discovered is not the leader’s strength

COMMERCIAL INVESTOR | Commercial Real Estate & Business Opportunities

but his weakness. Many failures come to roost when sales are exploding, market share growing and suddenly it falls apart because the back room is missing. The entrepreneur brilliantly develops his business but loses because of faulty accounting or controls. We all need to recognize our strengths and find the right partner or staff to supplement our weakness.

5. Bad partners. Everything is always good when it starts but when it becomes too successful or too tough, it usually breaks down. Trust is huge, so be careful and choose wisely. Make sure you have the relationship in writing. Also, never do a deal where the risk is lopsided. Everyone must be in the same place. 6. Penny wise and pound foolish. Ok, so we can’t afford to hire a lawyer to incorporate or advise. We pass on an accountant. Hmmm, we’ll get one later. This attitude is deadly. Get your professionals at the beginning to ensure that your business is properly constituted; that your personal liability is not on the table; and that the structure is in place from the beginning to allow for growth and proper process. Ok, that’s enough of this sort of thing. I hope this helps to make you think, explore and consider. Good luck, start your business and be successful. CI August 14–September 25, 2021

Your Price for ‘Upside’ Finding Value in the Grey Areas By Cliff Ford, Skyview Realty

With the ever-increasing demand for multi-unit residential properties amongst investors, a trend has been emerging over the last number of years. Many properties, and certainly buildings with 30+ units, are seeing multiple offers as part of an open bid submission process. If you aren’t familiar with the bid submission process, it is the act of marketing a property for sale without providing a price. Typically, the Seller will provide all due diligence documents in advance of the offer deadline to allow buyers to determine what they are willing to offer on any given property. Sellers love this process as it can generally lead to multiple offers and can create a bidding war that drives up their end price. Buyers dislike this process, however, because they prefer to have some guidance on pricing going into the offer stage. As a brokerage, we are caught in the middle of wanting to deliver great results for our Seller and satisfying our buyer clients’ demands for more investment properties. What we have been noticing with these open bid properties is that ‘upside’ becomes a very common discussion point. The value a buyer places on the upside in a building can often become the factor that makes their offer stand out among the rest, at least as it relates to purchase price. When considering what the upside is on a property, its more than just rental rate upside, especially considering the lower vacancy rates seen in the Ontario market nowadays. Beyond the upside of what you could rent turned-over units for, investors are looking at upside in the utility consumptions by implementing programs to replace lighting with LED bulbs, installing Low-flow toilets in every unit, and investing in higher efficiency heating equipment. Upside can also be found in converting excess space in a building to either additional units, commercial space, or amenities that could draw in greater tenant rents. Sometimes even the location of the property itself

can have a form of upside for a particular buyer, in that they may own a building nearby and could create valued upside in the sharing of mutual expenses between each property. Whatever the upside factors may be on any particular property, when going into a purchase process, understanding what YOUR value is on the upside will give you a leg up when bidding against other buyers. It appears that, at least for the time being, the sale price of the property is no longer determined just by market comparable sales. It is now the grey areas of upside that are driving the prices higher. Of course if every seller had their way, the Buyer would be paying for 100% of the upside in their purchase price but realistic sellers also know that they need to leave something on the table for a buyer. As a buyer, you need to know what the upside is and how much you are willing to pay for that upside. It is a business decision that only you can determine based on your operations. To be fair when discussing bid submission processes, it should be stated that price may not always be the only factor when a seller chooses one offer to work with over another, but it is likely the most significant factor. As an example, buyers are becoming more and more organized in their purchasing processes in order to streamline their conditional periods and closing dates, as this can also help to achieve a sign back from a Seller when multiple offers are on the table. Especially if all offering prices are neck and neck, the terms of the offer becomes an important factor for a seller. You may not be a fan of the open bid submission process, but it appears as if this new trend will be sticking around. By doing proper due diligence upfront, good research on the property’s market, and determining the price you want to pay for the upside, you can still achieve great acquisitions in this tight and highly sought after investment class.

Unique Acquisition Opportunity

This is an opportunity to acquire a well-established “bottle your fine wines” business located in the Ottawa, Ontario area.

The Company has an established, very loyal, and consistent customer base, generating 90% of repeat revenue. The sellers’ discretionary income is $70,000. The Company also has an option to buy their current leased premises for $220,000 (which was recently appraised for $470,000).
