Investing in Real Estate

Tenant needs are always motivating factors behind any rental property. If tenant needs (quality, amenities, space, location, etc.) aren't met, well, you won't have many full units. Fulfilling tenant needs while meeting your own will help make your property more successful.

2017 was forecasted to be rough for multi-family building investors with property in Edmonton. Now that we are well into 2017, we now have a better idea of how the year will unfold. Although our economy is slowing starting to pick up, the multi-family rental market is experiencing a decline in Q2.

When the economy is in a recession, the last thing you may be thinking about is purchasing a multi-family rental property. Jobs are being lost; tenants have little money. How can you turn that into a successful real estate venture?

Multi-family properties are a smart business investment for investors. If properly maintained and managed, they can generate a substantial amount of income to build an investment portfolio or to set aside for retirement. It may seem relatively easy to purchase a multi-family property and just let the cash roll in, but it's a bit more complicated than that.

Sometimes you don't want to be in something for the long haul, and that's ok. There's nothing wrong with that. If you're looking to invest in a short-term multi-family property, you're among hundreds of other investors doing the same thing. A short-term multi-family investment can still make you money if managed correctly.
