Because every home has different features, building material quality, and age of materials, (maybe the kitchen was renovated 5 years ago) the value and depreciation can vary greatly.The rule of thumb I've used for easy ACV calculation is if its a frame home depreciate by 1% per year and if its brick then its .5% per year, up to a max of 50% depreciation.

It looks like you would save money on the purchase, but what do you find the quality of the homes are?

The rehab will probably not be as high quality.In the complete rehab property it will probably end up being less of an investment overall and you will get a higher quality rehab.We have mostly gone with the full rehab properties, as we feel it is a better value in the long run.

Hi Dave, for some reason I get amazing rates at BMO 2.7% 2 yrs term , and now RBC has amazing rates for 6 plexes - 2.7% variable.BMO has a product that allows you to buy a mixed use building that is used as residential at a blended residential/commercial rate, 3% closed for 2 years, I think this is an amazing deal.I have a broker, but I am finding myself saving a lot of money on broker fees and ending up having better rates: RBC at 2.7% for a 6 plex?

Which term aids in the marketability of your product?

You need to learn how to conduct your own title search.Look forward to spending much quality time at the recorder's office.

If you do that you may end up spending more of your time doing lawyer activities and less doing real estate investing which could be counter productive depending on your goals...

I was just browsing the Ikea website looking at their various new products and noticed they put a lot of effort (and probably a lot of money too) into predesigning every room of a normal house (there's about 15 different designs per room).
