So if you have any interest in purchasing a unit and if you would like to get this Builder Incentive, you need to act.   You may email me directly at neil@firstrentalproperty.com to find out what the next steps are if you want to get a unit.
EMPIRE RAIN & SENSES IN OAKVILLE

Like the saying goes, “All Good Things Come To An End”.


Here is some important information on “Rain & Senses” as well as some of my personal opinions on this new condominium project:

The Good News…

Some state that EMPIRE is the second largest builder in Ontario, Canada by the amount of units.

And and where there is limited supply, we know already, and if there is demand for this limited supply, this is what pushes up property prices.
This is Wikipedia’s definition of Oakvillle:

“Rain & Senses” is a pre-construction condo being constructed by EMPIRE, located in The Town of Oakville.
Hi There,

EMPIRE is a builder, and people want to own real estate built by builders. Not to mention Oakville.   Oakville is a very desirable Town

  • SUITES AVAILABLE: 1 Bed, 1 Bed + Den, 2Bed, 2 Bed + Den
  • SQUARE FOOTAGE (RANGE) OF AVAILABLE UNITS: 543 square feet to 1250 square feet
  • PRICE (RANGE) OF AVAILABLE UNITS: $329,990 to $739,990
  • EXPOSURES AVAILABLE: North, North/East, East, South/East, South West, West
  • TOTAL NUMBER OF BUILDINGS: two
  • TOTAL NUMBER OF FLOORS: 19
  • PARKING: One parking space is included in the purchase price (additional parking available for purchase at $30,000 + HST)   (What is HST? )
  • LOCKER: $4,000 + HST
  • CEILING HEIGHT: 9′ Ceilings
  • MAINTENANCE INCLUDES: Gas, Common Element Expenses & Building Insurance (Hydro and Water is separately metered)
  • OCCUPANCY DATE: June 21st 2017 (First Tentative Occupancy Date)
  • DEPOSIT STRUCTURE: 1st Deposit (with Agreement) is $5,000, 2nd Deposit (30 Days From 1st Deposit) is the Balance to 5%, 3rd Deposit (Due On Occupancy) is 5 percent.   For a deposit of 10%.

I enjoy this new condominium project for a few reasons:

Sometimes builders offer DISCOUNTS off of their purchase price or what they call,  “builder INCENTIVES”.   These reductions and incentives are made available through VIP Realtors (like myself).
Today I would like to talk to you about:
You will have to move quickly in the event that you want to buy a unit in this EMPIRE community AND if you want to get their FREE $10,000 Furniture Package.
“Detached homes in The Town of Oakville went up in value 38.4% year over year from November 2015 to November 2016. ”  – Source: RE/MAX Aboutowne Realty Corp., Brokerage
In my opinion, the FREE $10,000 Furniture Package that EMPIRE is offering is a really good builder incentive.
Neil

B) EMPIRE Is Offering a FREEE $10,000 Furniture Package with the purchase of any package.

To get this remarkable $10,000 Furniture Package, and to reserve a suite to purchase, email me today at neil@firstrentalproperty.com

One gentleman that I was speaking to last week was a first time condo buyer in Toronto Canada.
With this type of increase in value, people are naturally going to gravitate towards lower such as new construction condos.
The Bad News…

Rain & Senses is SOLD OUT.
I hope you are doing well.
The majority of the people that I talk to are interested in investing in Toronto property .

Though because the housing market in The Greater Toronto Area is crazy, move fast.
Happy Investing!
EMPIRE would be second of course.   (Read About: Mattamy’s Vita On The Lake Here)
EMPIRE is really going over and beyond what other builders offer as their builder incentives, and they are clearly trying to offer something of VALUE for their prospective purchasers.

I get asked by people what sort of real estate they should be investing in.

The Town of Oakville is very particular with regards to dealing with Builders.   As such, the town has not approved high rise buildings to be built in The Town.   Therefore, there is in my view limited inventory in Oakville as it comes to high rise condo buildings versus some of the neighbouring cities and towns near Oakville.
You understand that Oakville is an ‘ upscale ’ Town located approximately 20 minutes by car west of Toronto if you are knowledgeable about the Greater Toronto Area.
Some people that I speak to are seasoned with real estate, but others don’t have too much experience.

Builders try to get away with offering prospective buyers with incentives that are cheap and not significant.   This is obviously not the case with EMPIRE.   I am impressed with this Incentive that they are providing, and I believe builders should provide incentives such as EMPIRE is currently demonstrating here.

The date in which EMPIRE will no more honour this deal is March 12th 2017.

The common thread with these folks is they are interested in purchasing a condo in Toronto Canada, or perhaps a house in The Greater Toronto Area which they would live in or rent out to tenants.

Situated on Lake Ontario, in Halton Region, it is part of the Greater Toronto Area. As this 2016 census the population was 193,832, of. ”

This Remarkable 10,000 Furniture Package Offer will come to an end.   It is only for a limited time.

Two Promises from Ad Astra Realty, Inc

Please note that we are NOT the original writers of this blog post. All credit goes to the original writers. Find the original post as published at this link: https://kcinvestmentproperty.wordpress.com/2019/04/19/two-promises-from-ad-astra-realty-inc/

Please note that we are NOT the original writers of this blog post. All credit goes to the original writers.

Nearly everything could be worked out, when we have a relationship based on honesty and trust.
When I say “your money will be watched by us. ” I’m stating that, while not ideal, we will always have the ability to tell you what you spent your money on and we work very, very tough to get our owners paid on or about the 10th of every month when funds are available.  I say because if the 10th falls on a Saturday or Sunday we might not finance until Monday.
Do you know what the reason rental property owners have for moving from Company “X to Ad Astra? It s because property owners have grown company not paying them or not giving a full accounting of the expenditures.

Working in the field of Kansas City real estate investing and property management is not rocket science and yet it is not easy, either. Both my team and myself look at the Kansas City market, make evaluations and recommendations about which properties appear promising and which we walk on by.
Let’s face it, sometimes the truth hurts.  Maybe we made a mistake.  You are attempting to delay and expense because money is tight because temps are still up around 85 degrees and the renter needs air conditioning.

WE WILL WATCH YOUR MONEY

Keep Current with Ad Astra Realty Inc
Thank you for taking the time to learn a little more about Ad Astra Realty, Inc..
I predict this “Having fierce conversations. ”  And property management is filled with fierce conversations because of its inherent moving parts that were mentioned earlier.
When it comes to property management, this is a little more complex.  So many things can go wrong, and right , with a property.  Tenants, pets, local laws and policies, weather, bad luck, good luck, etc. work as factors to create each property and each year unique.  To that end we here at Ad Astra Realty, Inc offer these two promises that we will not waiver on;

  1. We will watch your money.
  2. We’ll tell you the truth, even if it hurts.

We know how important it is for you to know about and to receive your money. To this end, we take our jobs.

WE WILL TELL YOU THE TRUTH

    Can I Have My Check MAG?

    Checks Collected From Deadbeat Tenants

    What I have discovered is that due to under staffing and overwork of the clerical staff checks are made out and sit there, or don ’ t issued or receive sent. So we informed that a judgement was fulfilled by a bank garnishment, and then wait months for the money.

    I ’ m going to go over something 99 percent of landlords never do/see while I ’ m on the subject of whining about the services offered by the government.

    Happily landlords may call us with those 416-628-4126 or issues 416-880-4126 for assistance or email us rachelle@landlordrescue.ca
    So after you’ve got an arrangement from tenants you have to try to collect the money which can be tricky and difficult if your tenant uses a fake name for instance, or you can’t find them.
    If we garnish their pays, or bank or whatever we do to get our claws on money, the money ends up at the Attorney General’s Ministry. Then they are supposed to send the lender a test, and this is not supposed to be a complicated process.
    Why is it a rush to get your check when the cash is in the courts? The cash get split between the parties, so you will get of the money because if another judgement becomes registered against the individual.

    If you didn’t know, and if you didn’t it s for the best… The courts are a place. There are people whos job it is to wait in such lines with stacks of papers to file. They do this everyday, they arrive at a different court, or 47 Sheppard Ave or 393 University Ave and get a ticket and wait to be file papers. One 5 or 3 items can only file at a time, and they get back in the line to get another ticket. This has been a messed up situation for quite a long time, but there are more “efficiencies.

    This is another example of under impeding the judiciary’s function and staffing the courtroom administration.
    But money is accumulated the check signing department should be johnny on the spot disbursing the funds in trust to the creditors, not the quarter, but within a reasonable time period.

    By way of example, one garnishment I have dates for, the money was sent January 16th 2019 and the test was only issued March 22nd 2019, and that’s with the paralegal visiting the courts and requesting the test on a regular basis.

    Vita On The Lake By Mattamy

    Please note that we are NOT the original writers of this blog post. All credit goes to the original writers. Find the original post as published at this link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/FirstRentalProperty/~3/oF74Qqc4mt4/

    Please note that we are NOT the original writers of this blog post. All credit goes to the original writers.

    • Where should I invest?
    • What is a good investment?
    • Can I buy a condo or a home?
    • How much will my property go up from the time I buy it to the time I sell it?

    If you know a little bit about Economics, you know that…

    “Yes, Vita On The Lake Is an Excellent investment”

    Therefore, this pre-construction condo project has been extremely popular with both condominium investors and people looking to buy a unit there to reside.

    I would like to talk to you about a condo project that’s being assembled on the Toronto Waterfront today.

    • E)  Oh yeah… and I forgot to add the next … Ontario is running out of land to build on.   There’s Lots of protected property in Ontario, called “The Green Belt”, which is restricted.   This land can not be built on by builders.  As such, builders are no longer building OUT, as they once used to (by building sub-divisions of homes).  They are presently building UP, and have been doing this for a number of years.

    Ps: Here are some pictures of Vita The Lake By Mattamy…

    I ask myself … ” Who’s bigger than Mattamy from the Greater Toronto Area when I really think of the more? ”

    HOT CAKES.
    Probably.

    Let’s look at a few things…
    Hi There,
    So to actually get a discount off purchase price is an awesome deal that Mattamy is offering.

    Happy Investing!
    As Mattamy does not normally offer discounts on the cost of the homes and condominium units, this is a huge deal.

    Purchasing Toronto Real Estate

    A lot of people that I talk to are interested in Purchasing a condominium in Toronto for investment.   Since I am a Real Estate Broker with RE/MAX, It’s a relevant conversation I have with people.
    Some people that I talk to are experienced investors while others are new to this and they’re looking to purchase their own first rental property.

    The building has been assembled on the Toronto Waterfront.   Units in the building have FULL and PARTIAL views of Lake Ontario.

    • D) Some projections have been made by the Provincial Government in Ontario, that 4 MILLION more people will be moving to the Greater Toronto Area  / Golden Horseshoe Area / Southern Ontario over the next 25 years!!!

    Some of the components don’t have views, and of course if your components does not face the Lake you won’t have a view.

    Lots of the immigrants settle in the Province of Ontario, and within the Greater Toronto Area. A good deal of these immigrants arrive to invest.

    Then of course, there are people that I speak to who are interested in buying a condominium in Toronto Canada for their main use.   (To reside in).
    I find their customer service level to be very high, and they create an excellent product that is finished.
    They don’t need to because their inventory of new condos and houses sells like…

    I would not be surprised at all if they were the biggest builder, although this has not been checked by me.

    It comes down to supply and demand to put it in simple terms.

    The second reason why I like this project is because of the builder… Mattamy.   You know exactly who Mattamy is again if you are in The Greater Toronto Area.   You probably know at lease one person who has bought a Mattamy home, or you also will understand a ‘friend of a friend’ who has bought a Mattamy home.   That is how BIG they are.

    I hope your are doing well.

    The story of the Greater Toronto area, and particularly, Toronto is that there is not enough supply (of housing) to match the requirement (the number of people moving into the area ).

    However, a few of the views from this building are breathtaking.

    The long story short is that if you are looking to buy a condominium in Toronto to live in or for investment (to lease out), and if you want to be on the Toronto Waterfront…

    If you are interested in buying a unit, email me directly at neil@firstrentalproperty.com and then I will let you know exactly what the next steps are.
    Neil.

    • B) The City (Toronto) experiences roughly 100,000 individuals moving into this area every year.

    For many years, people have been asking me about property.  

    Since they are a huge builder, they know what they’re doing when it comes to all aspects of new construction condos.

    A) Location

    But here is the catch… You Must move.   There are a whole lot of smart people in Toronto (when it comes to investment) and they have been buying already in this construction.

    Well here’s the deal… properties in the area which Vita On The Lake is situated have been going up in value already due to the HOT Toronto housing market.
    Great builders (such as Mattamy) always have great incentives for their buyers.   The Incentives which they provide are often made available to the general public through VIP Agents (like myself).

    You might have similar questions with Vita.   Real estate is loved by people.   They want to buy something, and they want it to go up a enormous amount (in value).

    Is Vita On The Lake a good investment?
    Again, VIP Agents (like myself) have access to these incredible discounts throughout the builders.   (If you would like more information on this. . send me an email)

    The name of this project is, “Vita On The Lake”.

    You know who Mattamy is if you’re in The Greater Toronto Area.

    This building is going to be sold out if you don ’ t take action soon.

    I can’t think of any other builder…
    Is Vita On The Lake A Good Investment

    On The Lake on this endeavor, Vita, Mattamy is offering 2 to 3 years of free maintenance, on units, which equates to a discount from the cost of between $10,000 to $20,000!!
    Some state that Mattamy is the largest builder concerning volume of units sold.

    In what international city with BOOMING real estate market can you buy a condo with Ocean or Lake views for under $700/square foot?
    Vita On The Lake is a job that Mattamy is building that I adore.   I love this project for 3 main reasons.
    Vita On The Lake is where you need to buy.

    So to answer my questions

    • A) The project is located on the waterfront of a major International City.
      What is Vita On The Lake?

      If distribution is low, and there is demand.   Then costs go up…
