Canada: The best place to invest in real estate right now

The REMA team is bringing to investors a new approach in real estate investment by offering low price investment properties specifically selected for their great location, long term and fixed rental revenues and future capital growth. All our properties are new and come with a 5 year building guarantee. Most of the real estate development that are actually offered to foreign investors are holiday homes or condominium located on ski, golf or spa resort in some of the most beautiful region across the globe. Before buying real estate abroad, you must ask yourself the following question: Am I buying real estate as a pure investment or am I buying a house as a second home or lifestyle house that I will try to rent to help me cover some of the fix cost? Buying a second home or holiday home will generate rental revenues ONLY if the short term rental market and the economy are strong. People who are buying a house in resort are considering it as an expense, not as an investment. Also, being part of a luxury home or condominium resort mean that you will have to pay substantial resort fees and in most case you will have to split 50% of your rental revenue with the rental company that is operating the resort. At REMA, we are working with real estate investors that are looking for great and safe location and where rental revenues are guaranteed by long term lease.

Buying a rental property from our selected development will give you an opportunity to diversify your investment portfolio. With the current financial market, real estate in Canada is considered as a safe investment. With our approach, the investor will not have the opportunity to use his property as a second home because it will be rented by a local family or a couple with long term signed lease. REMA will take the responsibility to find the renter for your property and will also collect the monthly rent for you. Our team of professional will manage your property so you will not have to care about it. To make your investment even more safe, REMA is also paying you in advance the equivalent of 2 years of rental income. This 2 years rental guarantee is paid in advance on the day the sale is completed. For more details on rental guarantee, please ask one of our REMA representatives.

Another reason why REMA is unique is that we are not only offering expensive investment properties. In our portfolio, you can buy a property for only 189 000$CAD* (115 000 EUR or 103 000 GBP) and finance up to 65% of the purchase price with a Canadian bank. REMA is working closely with mortgage specialists from different bank in Canada that will assist you with the financing. Take note that it is quite simple for international buyer to obtain a mortgage in Canada.

Condo on the Park
Nice apartments in one of the biggest city on the east side of Montreal.....

Theses apartments are located in the city of Repentigny, the biggest city on Montreal east shore. Repentigny is very well located by being at the intersection of highway 40 and 640. The Condos on the Park are just 2 minutes from highway 40 and only 10 minutes from Montreal city. There are 3 condominiums per semi-detached building and every apartment can be sold separately or by 3 or 6 at the same time. This project is one of the last phases of a major development called "Valmont sur Parc" that has start more than 10 years ago, where more than 500 units have been sold so far, from apartment to cosy detached houses. Repentigny is a big city with all the same facilities and services than big city like Montreal. The remaining 30 Condos on the Parks are waiting for the next investors.

These beautiful Condos on the Parks are offering beautiful living space. Repentigny is a vibrant city with a lot of residential development in progress that attract a lot of families or professionals with good revenues. Being close to major highways, commercial centers, supermarkets, hospital, theatre, golf course and much more, make this development the perfect place for real estate investment. There is no doubt that value of properties in this area will continue to increase in a significant way for the next 10 years.

In a stark contrast with most housing real property investments in Canada's peers, which have seen sales activity and prices fall precipitously, the Canadian residential property market so far has experienced moderate declines in both sales activity and prices. Property buyers from overseas have [therefore] seen their housing property investments in Canada record stronger performance than property investments in most other places. In addition, Canadian home property outlook this year and the next has become more optimistic compared to that for most residential property markets abroad, including most developed countries. This expectation of a more optimistic future indicates that both home sales and prices will bounce back in the coming year, like at a modest pace. Still, given the prospects for deflation, modest rises in prices of Canada's residential properties may actually be high if compared to price performance of property holdings in other countries. Thus, because no recovery in sales activity and prices is expected in the near future in real property markets of most Canada's peers, Canadian residential real estate offers exceptional investment opportunities, especially for foreign investors, in an otherwise dismal market for housing.

In most developed nations housing activities are expected to extend their dive this year into the next. Similarly, Canadian residential property market is expected to experience substantial drops in sales volumes this year. Still, home sales, which dropped by 17.1 per cent in 2008, will decline at a lower 14.7 per cent rate this year. With housing sales actually rebounding more than expected this summer, this 2009 forecast is actually an upwardly revised forecast that is a result of a brisk sales activity in recent months. This recovery in sales has prompted most forecasters to revise their home sales forecasts upward The new forecasts stem from the brisk recovery in housing markets in British Columbia and Ontario. More importantly, home sales next year are forecast to rebound by 7.2 per cent to 397,000 units, with robust recovery in British Columbia and Alberta leading the way. This is a much better forecast than in most countries, which should make Canadian investment property market appealing to investors who are interested in investing in Canada.

Even the earlier estimates of a major collapse of Canadian home property market in 2009, averaging about 8 per cent for the nation as a whole, have been revised to much a smaller decline in order to reflect brisk market turnover. As a result, Canadian residential property prices are now expected to fall at a much smaller rate in 2009. According to the new forecast from the Canadian Real Estate Association, the improved outlook suggests that prices of Canada's residential properties are expected to fall on average by 5.2 per cent in 2009. Next year, however,|In 2010,|In the coming year] prices are expected to recover, growing by a moderate 1.7 per cent rate. This mild recovery, however, looks especially strong when compared with additional large declines in the U.S. home prices in the next several years. Foreign investors in real estate can benefit substantially from these opportunities.

Based on the facts listed above Canada's housing real estate market may be viewed as a safe haven for property investments. As a result, the Canadian property market should look attractive for many foreing investors looking for alternative investments in order to diversify their holdings across asset classes and markets. International investors looking for investment real estate or leisure real estate may find many opportunities to park safely their investments into Canadian residential property market.
