How to Find the Perfect Medical Practice Location in BC

Top Things to Consider When Finding a Medical Practice Location in BC

Finding the best medical practice location in BC

Embarking on the journey to select the perfect medical practice location in BC is not just a business decision; it's a strategic move towards shaping the future of healthcare in this vibrant and growing community.  

Consider this: in 2021, the healthcare sector in British Columbia employed approximately 286,300 people, representing a significant 11.2% of all employment in the province. This fact alone paints a picture of a dynamic and thriving healthcare landscape ripe with opportunities for forward-thinking medical professionals.  

This blog is your navigation tool through this exciting terrain, offering essential data and insightful perspectives. We will delve into key considerations like neighborhood demographics, accessibility, and economic implications, all while spotlighting how these factors intertwine to carve the path for your practice's long-term success and influence in a region that's continually evolving in the healthcare domain.  

 

 

Access & Convenience to Your Medical Practice

 

In the realm of healthcare real estate, convenience is not just a luxury; it's a cornerstone. The success of a medical practice in BC heavily depends on its accessibility and location. This aspect of convenience covers everything from the geographic positioning of healthcare facilities to the ease of reaching them. Let's explore why this is crucial in British Columbia's commercial real estate market, a region known for its diverse geography and population. 

As of today, an estimated one in five (20%) – nearly a million – British Columbians do not have a family doctor, a figure significantly higher than the national average. This data underscores the urgent need for strategically located medical practice real estate that is accessible to underserved areas. When a healthcare facility is conveniently situated, it not only meets a critical community need but also connects with a potential patient base actively seeking care. 

Moreover, within the commercial real estate context of British Columbia's vast urban and rural landscapes, 'convenience' assumes varied meanings. In urban settings, it relates to proximity to public transport or central business districts, essential for a medical practice location. Conversely, it might mean being the sole medical facility within a reasonable distance in rural areas. Understanding the specific needs and transport dynamics of your chosen location in British Columbia is vital. A medical practice that is accessible and convenient for its target audience is more likely to succeed and become a key part of the community. 

 

Neighborhood & Development 

 

Imagine painting a picture where your medical practice location in BC is the centrepiece, and the neighbourhood is the canvas. The character and evolution of the surrounding area are as crucial as the practice itself. Selecting the ideal medical practice location in BC means painting a broader stroke — it's about immersing your practice within the community, considering the rhythm of traffic flow, the synergy with neighboring businesses, and the growth of nearby residential areas.

Consider this: the success of a medical facility is closely intertwined with the community it serves. A location in a bustling, well-developed neighborhood not only ensures higher visibility but also places the practice within easy reach of potential patients. For instance, proximity to pharmacies, diagnostic centers, and other complementary healthcare services can significantly enhance the appeal of a medical practice.

Moreover, the pace and nature of residential development in an area are critical. A rapidly growing neighborhood in British Columbia, with increasing residential units, indicates a potential surge in demand for healthcare services. This is echoed in findings from the Urban Development Institute, which reports ongoing residential and commercial developments across various regions in British Columbia. Such growth directly impacts the need for accessible healthcare facilities, making these areas prime spots for establishing new medical practices.

In navigating these dynamic landscapes, the insights gained from Klein Group's extensive experience in the Vancouver area prove invaluable. Our approach, grounded in a deep understanding of local neighborhoods and reputable developers, subtly guides our clients towards choices that align with both their professional vision and the community's evolving needs.

 

Parking & Traffic near Your Medical Practice 

 

When establishing a medical practice in British Columbia, the consideration of parking and traffic dynamics is crucial for its accessibility and patient convenience. In the context of healthcare real estate, these factors can significantly influence patient experience and the overall success of the practice. 

Accessible parking and manageable traffic conditions are crucial for a medical practice's success. Adequate parking reduces patient stress and enhances the appeal of a healthcare provider. In busy urban areas of British Columbia, where traffic can be a significant concern, the choice of a medical practice location with sufficient parking and easy accessibility becomes even more critical. 

Furthermore, in British Columbia’s diverse landscapes, traffic implications vary significantly between urban and rural settings. Urban areas might require a medical practice to be near major roadways for accessibility, balancing the need for easy access against potential traffic congestion. In contrast, rural locations might focus more on being accessible via main roads without severe traffic hindrances. 

 

Cost of Finding a Medical Practice Location

 

Financial planning is important to set up any business and in the case of a medical practice, cost considerations play an important role in deciding on the location. According to Doctorly, the average cost of starting a medical practice ranges from $70,000 to $100,000. This initial investment is just the beginning, as ongoing operational expenses play a significant role in the decision-making process for commercial real estate. 

In British Columbia, property costs vary significantly. Urban centers, known for their high visibility and patient volumes, often come with steeper lease or purchase prices. Klein Group’s nuanced understanding of these markets can guide clients towards locations that strike a perfect balance between visibility and affordability. In contrast, rural areas, more budget-friendly but potentially with lower patient traffic, are where our insights into local demographics and patient needs can identify hidden opportunities for sustainable practice growth. 

Operational expenses, such as staffing, utilities, and equipment, also vary by location. Urban practices might grapple with higher costs for salaries and utilities, areas where strategic advice from Klein Group can lead to smarter, cost-effective choices. Conversely, rural practices face different challenges, such as potentially fewer patients, where our experience in market analysis and patient demand forecasting becomes invaluable. 

Additional financial factors, such as parking, property taxes, and maintenance, add to the total cost of running a medical practice. Thorough financial planning and market research are imperative to navigate these costs and ensure the success of a medical practice in British Columbia’s varied real estate landscape. 

 

Competition around your chosen Medical Practice location

 

After years of experience in commercial real estate, we have seen that competition among medical practices in British Columbia isn't just about vying for patients; it's about strategic positioning and service optimization. A competitive landscape drives medical facilities to innovate and elevate the quality of care, as well as to efficiently manage their resources. As highlighted by McKinsey & Company, provider competition in healthcare can significantly improve service delivery, particularly in less specialized services. This competitive edge becomes particularly relevant in urban areas of British Columbia, where patient choices are abundant. 

Understanding local competition is essential. It's not merely about the number of practices in the area but their specialties, reputation, and patient base. For a new practice, entering a market with high competition requires a unique value proposition, whether it's specialized services, advanced technology, or superior patient care. On the flip side, too little competition in a rural setting might signal unmet patient needs or a lack of demand, which could impact the practice's viability. 

Therefore, a nuanced approach to analyzing competitive landscapes, factoring in both the number of existing practices and the nature of their services, is crucial for any medical practice looking to establish itself in British Columbia's diverse healthcare sector. 

 

Final Thoughts  

In summary, the journey to selecting the ideal location for a medical practice in British Columbia is multifaceted, combining aspects of convenience, neighborhood dynamics, parking and traffic considerations, cost analysis, and competitive landscape. Each of these factors plays a critical role in determining the success and sustainability of a medical practice. 

As we have explored, the decision goes beyond mere aesthetics or basic amenities; it's about understanding and aligning with the community's needs, financial viability, and strategic positioning in a competitive market. The right location can not only enhance patient accessibility and satisfaction but also ensure a thriving practice that stands the test of time in British Columbia's diverse and evolving healthcare landscape. 

Therefore, a nuanced approach to analyzing competitive landscapes, factoring in both the number of existing practices and the nature of their services, is crucial for any medical practice looking to establish itself in British Columbia's diverse healthcare sector.

Top 4 Things to Consider in a Land Assembly

Imagine trying to assemble different parcels of land into one piece - it's kind of like snapping building blocks. Except that we are talking about something people deeply value and cherish - their land. Due to their very nature, land assemblies require long timeframes to complete and can be very time-consuming. Often it is not just about the attributes of the land, but it is also about the people involved in the process.

HERE ARE FOUR WAYS TO LOOK AT LAND ASSEMBLIES:

  1. The Food Analogy

    • We all love food - mixing the ingredients and creating the right process generates something that causes taste buds to soar. While not to the same level, land can have those same special attributes that matter and how you mix these ingredients together, can mean getting the right profit for your land assembly and not getting it. Some might require a dab of more knowledge; others might be about to burn if you don't turn down the heat - what this means is that there are many variables involved, so knowing and not knowing what to do is part of the battle.

  2. The Ingredients

    • This technique boils down to an age-old question - is the whole greater than the sum of its parts? Aristotle thought so, but when you're describing land assembly, it's probably best to explain the ingredients that go into a land assembly.There is a standard question you have to ask - how do the ingredients play together?In the case of land assembly, it is about the people and in this case it will be different people with different situations. Just like flavors can be different, so can people. Land assemblies contain more than just a negotiation between a group of sellers and a buyer. They contain different ingredients: city council, planning departments, legislation, the transit authority, schools, neighbours, competing buyers and the opinion of the public are all ingredients that play their role in the process. Remember that if you introduce the wrong ingredient at an improper time, it can ruin the process. That's why it's imperative to have the right mix of ingredients and to know when to use them.

  3. Mixing It Up

    • Mixing up the ingredients is never easy, and people need to know what the process means - it is more complex than people think. Say, for example, your property is basil, and the other is oregano, separate they don't do much, but when combined, they make for a great mixture. The same can be said for people who own homes with land on them, and what makes a great mixture is when people work together and realize that the value of their property will increase the more they work together. Land assemblies are about assembling collectives of people with land that works to create value. It means that the more people work together through the process, the greater the value of their land assembly.

  4. The Complexities

    • Cooking boils down to a specific set of techniques and how you prepare your process matters greatly. Remember that once you have identified that this is the process that yourself and the rest of the owners in your area want to go down, now you have to think of what will need to take place. It's how you approach the ingredients and what you do with them that matters. First, you start by looking at your ingredients and evaluating if the right amount is there - then you need to consider if you have the right consistencies. Will there be extra cost increases associated with your ingredients, what will we do if other ingredients aren't available? How will we source certain ingredients?

Land assemblies are complex like cooking - managing each owners personal circumstances and expectations while monitoring potential stakeholders affecting the marketing and the marketing process to source and present to the best potential buyer, are all a part of the process.

You need to know if you have to add the following extras:

  • Will relocation be included?
  • Is it a group sale or is it individual?
  • What will affect the transaction?

Remember that the difference is in the details and having the right expertise is important - this is similar to being a well-trained and educated cook who understands the complexity of food and what seasonings will work together and what will not. That is why it is important to work with an experienced Commercial REALTOR that specializes in complex land assembly - one that has the knowledge and expertise to ensure your best interests are their responsibility. It's like trusting a highly recognized chef who can expertly put all of the ingredients together to create an amazing dish.

How To Maximize Value in a Land Assembly

How To Maximize Value in a Land Assembly

Land assemblies involve the selling of unique properties in a single transaction to maximize value in a situation that would otherwise not happen. They require longer time frames to complete and are very complex - mostly this is due to the alignment of ownership expectations and sourcing appropriate buyers for their project. Then the process of creating bid pressure to source the best price and terms for the sellers take place. In this article, we identify the three different groups involved and their unique considerations, in order to help guide you through the complex process of selling a Land Assembly in Vancouver.

When might ownership want to consider land assembly as an option for a group of owners?

The official community plan (OCP), neighborhood community plan (NCP) or zoning that may increase the density or use of the particular parcels of land. As buildings get near the end of their operating life, typically a strata or co-operative, the cash required by each owner to maintain in special or future capital investments are becoming costly compared to the property value.
A common need arises where all land owners know that things can only by achieved through a much larger, collective approach. If the land needs servicing (sewer, water, gas, electricity, and other services), where the cost of any individual parcel would be prohibitive and far too costly (I.e...the creation of a master community plan.

Let's Look at The Three Different Groups Involved and Their Considerations:

1.For Contractors/Developers

When you consider that 50% of all commercial transactions in the lower mainland have to do with land acquisition, you can understand that demand for parcels is high. That's why it is important to understand where to look for the right land and how to go about developing it for the right opportunities. Contractors and developers will generally have a set of questions.

Where are the best land sites in Greater Vancouver that offer the best "up-side" and profit areas given the cost of new land and construction?

Given the number of land transactions we complete, our brokerage is face to face with either the principals or senior acquisition managers almost every day. We track the type of land sites most desirable to them individually, under what circumstances they are able to play the highest price, and how we need to prepare opportunities to attract their attention. As these firms require new land to keep them active, this is the time when they have the highest capacity to pay well for land.

2.For Strata Councils

Strata corporations and councils are faced with the surprise of receiving offers from developers for the whole building or select units, and this often leads to questions. These questions often range around the issue about new OCP/NCP announcements. Remember that property owners in a land assembly are essentially shareholders or partners in a transaction. Once agreed, each most be fully and equally committed to realizing a successful conclusion. If one partner decides to renege or change direction in their commitment, it will have implications for the other parties, including themselves.

Land assembly sales can create a significant increase in value for their properties.  They can also cause stress, uncertainty and disappointment if not fully understood.  That's why it's important to work with a REALTOR who understands the process and knows how to approach developers while understanding the most effective way of ensuring proper representation for the owners.

 

Should you choose a Bill 40 wind up or land assembly?

 

Strata Dissolution under Bill 40 provision

 

Group Assembly

3.For Sellers

Land in Vancouver is a finite commodity - and you have to ask yourself: is the land under your parcel, more valuable than the property itself? Some landlords have heard stories of people getting massive values from their properties that equate to almost double the value of the property as an apartment building. Sellers might have been approached by a realtor and told about a land assembly, or they heard rumors at a strata meeting. The general mentality might be to hold out - just realize that there is a lot of misinformation that exists and getting the right advice from the start of the process will help you make the right decision.

Selling property requires the right mix of good preparation and a strong parcel of lots to maximize value. Our process ensures that owners will be both represented and independent and will make decisions based on well-vetted information and details. Aligning expectations with the land development process is the largest part of work that has to be done when attempting to maximize the value of a land assembly.

Other things that need to be considered:

 

With over 20 years experience in land, redevelopment and assembly transaction, we have represented sellers in all major municipalities in the Lower Mainland and across Canada. Our global reach has seen us personally take investment opportunities to Hong Kong, China, Vietnam, Dubai, and India in the last 24 months. With over $1.5 billion in sales and $450M in completed sales, we rank #1 in Vancouver for Royal LePage and #14 across Canada, in overall sales, at Royal LePage nationally.

Given the number of successfully completed land transactions, our brokerage knows what it takes to build the right value on a project. That's why making the right choice about aligning your project with a brokerage known for turning land assemblies into a success is essential.

How to Buy an Existing Business

Exploring Businesses

Why Buy An Ongoing Business?
By Eugen Klein, B.Comm(UREC), CRES, ARM®, RI, FRI
Real Estate Broker

When I present to investor groups on the subject of buying a business, I am often met with incredulous looks that slowly turn to understanding and interest as I make my case for the advantages of being a business owner. Because by their nature, businesses have more flexibility, complexity, risk, revenue, net return, and time demands than comparably priced investments, people rarely take the time to evaluate all the positive features of taking over a business in operation.

There are several reasons why one should buy an operating business. The most obvious is the return that a business will offer a purchaser or investor. The income multiplier on a typical business may run from 2x to 5x; for an investment property the multiplier may be 10x to 20x; this means that the same net income stream will cost the purchaser four to five times as much when they buy a investment property instead of a business. For example, we have a closing next month on a business that has a normalized return of $150,000, at a purchase price of approximately $350,000. A commercial building generating $150,000 net would cost in the neighbourhood of $2,000,000, almost six times as much.

There is good reason to purchase investment property. In general, investment property has less inherent risk and greater liquidity than businesses. However, if you base your decision to purchase a business on established customer base, experienced employees, a recognized market position and solid business operating systems, you can often get an amicable combination of bank or vendor financing.

A concern of many new business owners is the loyalty of clients – particularly if the exiting owner has a strong or unique personality with which the business has become identified. Careful structuring of the transaction can protect the buyer through a transition period wherein the owner remains involved to train the new owner and introduce him or her to the clients. Although difficult to value, client lists are of immense value to a purchaser even if outdated; it can be a good avenue to generate return business that will cover any shortfalls during the transition period.

It is important when taking over a business that the experienced, skilled and predictable employees are retained. They often know the business operations inside and out, and if the transition is handled well they can be re-energized by new ownership; the injection of fresh leadership can be a catalyst for employee creativity. However, employees naturally fear change and instability so it is important that they are not made aware of the transaction too soon. Usually, the buyer is allowed to talk with key employees only after a purchase and sale agreement has been signed and it is certain that the buyer will buy the business. It is extremely important for both buyer and seller not to mishandle this process.

An established business has the additional advantage that its products, marketing techniques, and systems for accounting, inventory tracking, employee payroll and production have all passed the basic Darwinian test of the free market: survival. Rather than building from scratch, one is in the position of an expert race car mechanic, tinkering delicately to obtain optimal performance.

 

What's In It For Me?

Part II: Buying an Ongoing Business
By Eugen Klein, B.Comm(UREC), CRES, ARM®, RI, FRI
Real Estate Broker

All buyers must use common sense and remember that potential buyers create the market. In order to help with the task of arriving at a good approximation of value, here are six guidelines useful to calculate earnings:

Examine the most recent year’s earnings on the seller’s latest tax return. It would make sense to look at the last three years, but only to establish a revenue trend; remember as a buyer you are buying the future and not the past. Use these figures to determine projected annual future earnings with you as the new owner. Be aware that such future earnings will depend on your ability as owner; expect that you may have difficulty maintaining the same level of sales over the short term as you gain experience and understand your responsibilities.

Look at the tangible and intangible assets. If there is real estate and inventory included in the sale, your position is theoretically less risky because it is believed that real estate could be sold more easily on the open market and inventory for resale could be more easily liquidated than other business assets. Generally, inventory is valued at cost. Aside from the real estate and inventory for re-sale, other assets should already be included in the multiple-derived business value as they are needed to generate the projected future earnings.

If there is real estate involved but it is not for sale, rental expenses must be subtracted from the earnings figure. The seller did not have to pay rent if he or she owned the property where the business is located, but this would not be the case for you as the buyer. You must take future rent expense into consideration. Conversely if you are buying a business with land, you may wish to structure the transaction so that the ownership of land is under a separate entity from the business. In that case be sure that if you include the land revenues in the valuation of the land, you subtract them in the valuation based on the earnings of the business. Don’t pay for the same thing twice.

Management (owner’s) salary, perks, and certain one-time expenses should be added back to the earnings calculation, if these expenses were subtracted from the profit on the tax returns or financial statements. Businesses tend to maximize deductible expenses to minimize taxes. Likewise, depreciation / amortization should be added back to your earnings calculation. This is a non-cash expense, meaning the owner does not have to pay out of pocket each year.

To summarize:

Earnings = NPBT + OS + FB + D&A

NPBT = Net Profit Before Tax
OS = Owner’s Salary
FB = Fringe Benefits
D&A = Depreciation & Amortization

Intangible assets include such things as goodwill, an owner’s agreement to not compete, or an owners agreement to provide training or consultation during the transition period. These are accounted for in the value of the business by using a multiple of earnings, even though such assets may well be treated separately at business closing for tax purposes.

Once you have calculated projected annual future earnings, (also known as EBIT, Earnings Before Interest and Taxes) and had your calculations verified by professional accountants, you must consider the risks involved in owning the business. How much you are willing to pay given the risks involved will determine the right earnings multiple. For most businesses somewhere between 3 to 5 times EBIT is reasonable. The multiple is less when there are few tangible assets and more when the business is uniquely attractive.

In summary, the valuation of a business is based on an earnings multiple. The right multiple is, in the eyes of buyers, a matter of assumed risk. Buyers feel better about buying tangible assets that they can appreciate with their five senses – things like real estate and equipment. On the other hand, buyers can also be enticed when there is clearly an attractive opportunity to make money.

 

Financing Partners

Part III: Buying an Ongoing Business
By Eugen Klein, B.Comm(UREC), CRES, ARM®, RI, FRI

When considering whether to start a new business from scratch or buy into a business that is in operation, one must consider the question of financing. Very rarely do purchasers have adequate cash to be able to start out-right, and to handle the ongoing drain on resources which preceeds revenue flow. More favourable financing terms are always available to the buyer of an established business because of these advantages: existing customer base, experienced employees, established market position and tested systems. There are also a wider range of financing options uniquely available; such as vendor financing and financing by suppliers of the business.

As an advantage to the purchaser, financing an ongoing business makes the vendor, banker and suppliers in essence partners in the business, sharing some of the risk. Every creditor feels more secure with an established entity and most banks do not finance new start-ups at all. For on-going businesses, vendor financing at below-market rates is commonly available without the same security requirements as other arms-length lenders.

A buyer of a going concern often has immediate cash flow. In fact, in most cases, that’s what has been carefully protected by the financing partners: the vendor, the bank, and the suppliers. These lenders will only agree to participate in transactions that make sense to them. They know they won’t get paid unless the cash flow works for the new business owner – which also gives them a strong vested interest in seeing the purchaser succeed. Contrast this with a new start-up, where the buyer must fund the start-up for months and sometimes even years until the business gets going. Most start-ups fail, in fact, because they run out of money as they are in the process of succeeding.

Overall, there is less risk in purchasing a business than in starting one, even if there are major areas which need improvement.

Why do people start new businesses? Some people can genuinely see a new need in the marketplace and fill it. Sometimes, there are no businesses for sale in a certain category. But, in many cases the reasons for starting one’s own businesses from scratch can usually be found in ego. One should be careful that the logical reasons to start a business from scratch do not exist simply to rationalize an emotional decision based on personal pride.

One common rationalization is that the prospective entrepreneur wants a “clean business” without the inherent liabilities of a going concern. In truth, it is better to take over an operation where the liabilities or flaws are well known, rather than to start something new and proceed in ignorance. Asset sales are always a possibility instead of share sales so that no legal liabilities are assumed. In the best of situations the problems in a business may actually be an advantage to the purchaser who wins in two ways – firstly by obtaining a reduction in price or discount on the assets because of the liabilities of the business, and secondly by starting from a position of debt, allowing future profits to be written off. Very often a seller may be experiencing difficulties because of a lack of resources or in a part of the business that is outside their area of expertise. If the purchaser has the right expertise and is well positioned, such opportunities are a virtual goldmine.

The idea that there are operational systems that can’t be changed is usually wrong; small businesses are usually quite flexible and changeable. Employees usually welcome enlightened change, and consulting with the best employees can provide valuable insight. One should become familiar with business systems during the due-diligence period of the transaction and should make sure that an extended training period by the vendor is specified. The best technologies often evolve over time and through experience, neither of which are available to new businesses. This is one of the greatest hidden costs of the ego-driven start-up.

The most commonly given reason for starting from scratch, however, is to avoid paying for “goodwill” or “blue sky”. In reality, you will pay for it one way or the other. Either the vendor is paid for goodwill or you have to put in lots of extra money into working capital to develop goodwill yourself. There is no free lunch.

 

Franchises & MLMs

Part IV: Buying an Ongoing Business
By Eugen Klein, B.Comm(UREC), CRES, ARM®, RI, FRI
Real Estate Broker

Two common mistakes made by naive buyers are the purchase of a worthless franchise or any network multi-level marketing (MLM) “opportunity”. There are legitimate franchises which are a reasonable investment of time and money; there are few legitimate network marketing companies. The vast majority of MLMs follows business principles which are completely unsound.

A good franchise should give you instant market position and/or a protected territory, proven operational systems with excellent long term support, a proprietary technology, and perhaps even some financing. The support is especially important for those franchises which portray themselves as “home-based businesses”.

The long term value of a good franchise should take into account the demographic trends of its location in addition to the information received from the franchisor. If possible, one should look at case studies of similar franchises in similar locations to be able to realistically evaluate the potential. Meet with other franchisees to check the legitimacy of franchisor projections against real income and expense numbers. If you are buying an existing franchise you can usually count on the revenues remaining very steady.

The best franchises will have already done most of your planning and set up for you, and will pre-screen both you and your suggested location to ensure it will be successful (so that you can produce stable revenues for them). Be aware that some franchises are extremely selective with the people they will allow to own one of their businesses – you want to be aware of this when you are planning your exit strategy.

Something to avoid at all costs: “network marketing” or “multi-level marketing” (MLM). “Businesses” that require you to resell the opportunity to your friends and neightbours to build a multi-level organization are more ill advised that a bad franchise. The failure rate for MLMs approaches 100%.

Most network MLMs sell “unique” products. Understand that these are products which could not make it in the normal retail distribution channels. Hence the need for a pyramid scheme which locks you into a vertical structure and forces you to spend most of your time seeking out and indoctrinating new members, rather than marketing and selling your product. Don’t believe that it’s a part time effort. No start up is ever part time. The only way an MLM works is if you get in early, recruit others and sell hard during the early growth curve, then bail out before the inevitable crash. This is not a good way to build a business career but it is a great way to hurt people you are close to.

Remember that in the end, your revenues and those of all the people above and below you in the chain must come from product sales. If your attraction to the business has more to do with the idea of skimming margins off other people’s sales than a genuine interest in the product line, what makes you think your business can possibly succeed? It is bad enough to mistake personal enthusiasm for a product for general market appeal; it is consummate inanity to base revenues on a product in which you yourself have no confidence.

If you want to sell products, buy a retail store. The margins are better and you won’t alienate your friends and relatives. To get other people to sell for you so that you can make money from their efforts, hire salespeople for your store. That’s the way it is done in the legitimate world of business.

Five Best Reasons to Bet on Multifamily Investments

“Multifamily investments, particularly those based on value-based strategies have been eyed by real estate investors for years. The successful execution of a multifamily investment offers excellent risk-adjusted returns compared to other classes of real estate. Knowing how to execute them is not easy, that’s why we specialize in multifamily investment – because we know what to look for and how to optimize the property to create stable value.” – said Chris Hayne.

Chris Hayne - one of our commercial real estate professionals who is making a mark in real estate as a multifamily investment specialist.  With many exclusive properties listed, he knows a thing or two about the multifamily industry and how to help investors find the right value in their properties using a unique set of strategies.

Recently he sat down with our blogging team to discuss the five best reasons to bet on multi family’s as an investment.  “We often hear questions from new real estate investors –what type of real estate investment will work best for my portfolio? This is a valid question. Without the experience and practice, it can be difficult to know what mistakes to avoid that often plague new investors,” said Chris Hayne, Mobile Home Park and Multifamily Commercial Real Estate Specialist.

To get ahead in commercial real estate investment – here are the five best reasons to bet on Multifamily!

1.     They Take Less Work to Buy

This bet may not seem like a benefit, but it is and I think most investors do not take into account the expense and time it takes for a person to amass multiple properties - as opposed to a 25-unit multifamily, or mobile home park. Even if you were to amass that many homes, imagine that you would end up dealing with the difficulty of multiple closings. Not to mention the fact that you would have visited all of the homes before putting in an offer.

2.    Spread the Risk Over More Units

If you own a single-family home and it goes vacant for two months, guess who will be paying the mortgage – you. But if you own a 6-plex and two tenants decide to vacate, you still have four rents coming in to cover the expenses.  “Multifamily properties allow the investor to limit their risk, by having multiple renters to pay the expenses. It lends itself to a strong revenue stream model that will sufficiently pay the expenses and generate cash flow at the end of the month,” said Chris Hayne.

3.    Forced Appreciation Can Happen

Single-family homes are limited in how they build value - that is the “comps” in the market that drive the value of a property. What is a 2-bedroom loft selling for in downtown Vancouver? The home is compared to similar properties in the market and then valued on that basis. “Multifamily properties are unique because you have much more control over the value of the property and you can increase the appreciation by driving up the net operating income. There is no need to wait for the market to drive the value because you can drive a sound repositioning strategy for your investment, make some changes to the amenities, and give a better user experience. This will generate wealth in a very short time frame and a great reason to consider multifamily properties.”

4.     There is Less Competition

In the real estate investment space, most themes surround the idea of fixing, flipping and wholesaling – strategies that focus on acquiring single-family homes, commercial investment properties and businesses. There is a lot of competition in these spaces which ultimately drives margins down, and profits suffer as a result. “The thing is the competition is not as fierce as when you are shopping for a single-family home and compete against thousands of buyers and buy a property for a significant increase because it has a cute porch. Buying a multifamily becomes more about the math and how to generate value utilizing the right strategy,” said Chris.

5.    You might be able to Benefit from the Economy of Sales

Multifamily investing means smaller homes – apartments, duplexes or town homes. The more the homes, the more the walls, roofs, floors and stairs that require maintenance. However, for investors who have multiple homes to refurbish and renovate, there is a better chance of getting steeper discounts and being able to employ more professional firms that work on large scale projects instead of single homes.

“My hope is to have provided enough information to give you a good picture of what the benefits of multifamily properties area and how to make the right decision for your investment. This is something I stand behind as a REALTOR®– providing my clients with the right advice and ensuring that I have their best interest at heart. It’s about building trust and ensuring that I deliver the best value through the right advice and this is paramount to helping people look at purchasing a multifamily investment,” concluded Chris.

4 Reasons Why Mobile Home Parks Make a Sweet Investment

 

Demand for manufactured housing is boosting the fortunes of companies that deal in mobile home parks 

 

Many people don’t consider mobile home parks to be the next best thing in real estate. In fact, they often overlook this investment opportunity because of historical stigmas that are associated with them. People cite different issues such as being similar to used-car dealerships or motels on the side of the road – this is not the case, instead mobile home parks are an investment opportunity forged in stability and opportunity.

 

Over the past year there has been an 83% increase in the number of mobile home parks sold that surpass the one million dollar price point. With 19% more buyers residing in the Pacific Northwest, mobile home parks are becoming a special commodity that can deliver stable returns for investors.

 

Mobile home parks are becoming a sweet spot in real estate and here are five specific things for you to consider:

 

  1. They Have a Superior ROI

 

Demand for manufactured housing is boosting the fortunes of companies that deal in mobile home parks.

 

Between attractive rental spreads, value-added opportunities and evolving value spreads, mobile home parks provide some of the most predictable returns out there. For the 12 months ending in March 2015, the gross returns for three major home park operators hit 44% according to the Wall Street Journal.

 

Most people are 400kms away from their investment.

 

  1. Low Economic Risk

 

 Demand for mobile home parks remain high in both good and bad times.

 

Recreational properties are still considered a safe long-term investment and almost half of Canadians will do so to improve their lifestyle – despite concerns about increasing taxes, rising interests rates and new regulations regarding high ratio mortgages.  This was according to a poll conducted by Angus Reid and commissioned by Royal LePage Real Estate Services.

 

In fact, with the growth of retirees looking to downsize, snowbirds seeking inexpensive vacation homes and low-income families, mobile home parks are known to offer a lower cost option than traditional homes.

 

  1. Lower Maintenance Costs & Ease of Ownership

 

One of the most common excuses investors lean on to justify not purchasing direct real estate investments in their portfolios – is upkeep. We have all heard tales about high maintenance tenants that want help unclogging the toilet, changing a light bulb, unlocking the door when they forget their key. It might seem too good to be true, but mobile home park investing eliminates that dynamic.

 

In a mobile home park residents generally own their own units. You collect the pad rent. So if they lock themselves out, break something, or want new appliances – that’s all up to them and out of their pocket. You are the park owner and you are only responsible for the landscaping, and any community features you choose to include. But that’s a night and day difference from managing single family homes or low-income apartment buildings.

 

  1. Limited Supply

 

Real estate is often heralded as a great investment due to limited land and housing stock. Well, there are even fewer mobile home parks. You can actually build more land with man-made islands, and in most areas you can construct or redevelop luxury condos and single family homes. What you can’t do is build new mobile home parks. Local government and developers don’t want to approve them. In fact, many owners of standalone mobile home parks find they can’t replace them once their useful life runs out. Building codes prohibit it. That leaves existing mobile home parks. As these parks have been changing hands from those that have been held for decades to new long term buy and owner supply is decreasing. There is now more demand than there is availability – that means more rising value.

 

Finding the right mobile home park can be daunting, that is why Klein Group – Royal LePage Sussex specializes in providing a host of services for mobile home park owners: brokerage, property management, and asset management. It‘s the careful execution of these details that enable us to make your project a success – now and for years to come.

What Does a Business Park or Warehouse Construction Cost in Vancouver?

What Does a Business Park or Warehouse Construction Cost in Vancouver?

Picture this - you're an ambitious entrepreneur looking to expand your business operations in the thriving city of Vancouver. Your company requires a state-of-the-art warehouse or a cutting-edge industrial business park to accommodate its rapid growth.
The question on your mind may be, "What will the new warehouse building construction cost?"
Well, worry not, for we've got you covered! This comprehensive guide will walk you through the various factors affecting business park construction in Vancouver and the costs associated with new warehouse construction.

Comparing Pre-existing Business Parks and New Business Park Construction

Cost Considerations
One of the primary factors to consider when comparing pre-existing business parks and new business park construction is the cost. Purchasing or leasing a pre-existing business park can sometimes be more cost-effective, especially if the facility is in good condition and requires minimal modifications to suit your business needs.
However, new business park construction allows for customization and can lead to long-term operational cost savings through energy-efficient designs and state-of-the-art facilities designed for you.
Customization and Flexibility
New business park construction offers the flexibility to design and build a facility tailored to your specific business requirements. This can include optimized layout configurations, advanced technology integration, and sustainable building practices.
On the other hand, pre-existing business parks may require significant renovations to accommodate your needs, which can add to the overall cost and time needed to get your operations up and running.
Location and Accessibility
When evaluating pre-existing business parks, location and accessibility are crucial factors to consider. Proximity to transportation hubs, major highways, and the availability of local workforce can significantly impact your business operations.
While new business park construction allows you to choose the ideal location for your needs, finding the perfect piece of land can be challenging and may come with higher costs due to increased demand for prime locations.
Time to Occupancy
The time it takes to occupy a pre-existing business park is generally shorter than building a new one. Once you purchase or lease a pre-existing facility, you can begin your operations relatively quickly, depending on any required modifications.
New business park construction, however, involves a longer process, including land acquisition, permits, design, and actual construction, which can take several months or even years to complete.

Key Factors Influencing Industrial Business Park and New Warehouse Construction Costs

Land Acquisition and Zoning Regulations
The first step in any business park construction or new warehouse building project is acquiring the right piece of land. The cost of land varies depending on its location, size, and zoning regulations. In Vancouver, industrial and commercial zones have specific regulations for new construction projects, which may impact the overall cost.
Design and Architectural Considerations
Another significant factor affecting new warehouse construction cost is the design and architectural elements. Customized designs and state-of-the-art facilities may increase the construction budget. However, investing in a well-designed warehouse can lead to long-term savings in operational and maintenance costs.
Construction Materials and Labor
High-quality construction materials and skilled labor are essential for a successful business park or warehouse construction project. The cost of materials and labor depends on market conditions and the complexity of the project.

Estimating Business Park Construction and New Warehouse Construction Cost in Vancouver

Preliminary Costs
Preliminary costs include land acquisition, legal fees, permits, and other administrative expenses. These costs can range from 5% to 15% of the total project cost. In Vancouver, property prices and land development charges can add up to a significant portion of your preliminary expenses.
Hard Costs
Hard costs refer to the actual construction expenses, such as materials, labor, and equipment. These costs can make up anywhere from 60% to 75% of the total project cost.
In Vancouver, the average hard cost can vary depending on the time of year, availability, and building type. For instance, constructing a hospital costs somewhere between 600 and 750 Canadian dollars per square foot, whereas a simple industrial structure cost only 90-160 CAD. For medium-rise commercial buildings, the price range is typically between 225 and 310 Canadian Dollars.
Soft Costs
Soft costs include architectural and engineering fees, insurance, taxes, and project management expenses. These costs can account for 15% to 25% of the total project cost. In Vancouver, soft costs can vary greatly based on the project's scope and complexity.

Potential Cost-saving Strategies

Prefabricated Construction
Prefabricated construction can significantly reduce new warehouse construction costs. This method involves assembling pre-built components, cutting down on labor costs and construction time. Prefabricated warehouses are often more energy-efficient and offer long-term savings in operational expenses.
Sustainable Building Practices
Adopting sustainable building practices can lead to cost savings in the long run. Green construction methods, such as using energy-efficient materials and technologies, can reduce energy consumption and lower maintenance costs.

Financing Options for Business Park Construction Vancouver

Bank Loans and Mortgages
Traditional bank loans and mortgages are common financing options for business park construction in Vancouver. Interest rates and repayment terms depend on the borrower's credit history and financial stability.
Government Incentives and Grants
The Canadian government offers various incentives and grants for businesses looking to invest in new warehouse construction or business park projects. Researching available funding opportunities can help reduce overall project costs.

Navigating the Complexities of Warehouse and Business Park Construction

Working with Experienced Professionals
When undertaking a warehouse or business park construction project, it's crucial to work with experienced professionals who can navigate the complexities of the process. Architects, engineers, and project managers with a deep understanding of local regulations, market conditions, and construction best practices can help ensure a successful outcome.
Preparing for the Unexpected
Construction projects often come with unexpected challenges and costs. By having contingency plans in place and allocating a portion of your budget to unforeseen expenses, you can be better prepared to tackle these challenges.
Regular Communication and Progress Tracking
Keeping open lines of communication between all parties involved in the project is essential for successful project execution. Regular progress tracking can help identify any issues or delays early on, enabling timely solutions and minimizing the impact on the overall project cost.

Navigating the Vancouver business park and warehouse construction maze can be tough but fear not!

Can You Buy Real Estate With Bitcoin?

There have been countless stories in the media about Bitcoin, and the British Columbia Securities Commission (BCSC) granted Vancouver-based First Block Capital Inc registration as an investment fund manager – this according to the Globe and Mail.

Recently, the Bitcoin gamble guessing game ended up hitting a new record high and the cryptocurrency now faces its biggest challenge - many wonder if it will survive, or in what form. With regards to being utilised for real estate – is the risk worth the reward.  “Just like any other form of currency, cryptocurrency is another form of investment,” said Eugen Klein, Principal of Royal LePage Sussex Klein Group. “Like any other investment, it can be risky and investor involvement must be balanced by weighing the risks and the rewards.”

Cryptocurrency is slowing starting to catch on but may take a hold of real estate – mainly when a seller hopes to garner media attention for a listing rather than some form of payment.  Bitcoin is currently sitting at $7,429.83, is it okay for Bitcoin to be used for the purchase or sale of a home?

Short answer - yes you can use bitcoin, but there are a few things that you need to know:

Bitcoin

1.  Bitcoin is a real currency

Those who think Bitcoin can’t be utilized in the purchase process are most likely still utilising a flip phone and have a myspace account. Many independent businesses accept bitcoin, but even some big brands are getting into the act. It is a real currency, but many still see it is in its infancy.

Bitcoin and Cash

2.  Bitcoin transfers are fast and flexible

While many financial institutions make you pay a fee for the transaction, Bitcoin enables a smoother financial transition of your funds. It can be done for free and almost at will. You must be ready to have your money in Bitcoin form.

Bitcoin Chess Board

3.  Attempting to buy or sell property using this currency is risky

With Bitcoin, there are great risks and rewards, and the thing is that a home seller or buyer would need to be careful about how the bitcoin is utilized. Much about the risk of utilizing bitcoin does come from the buyer side. What it comes down to is timing and you need to watch the rate to see how fluctuations are impacting the value. If it proves to continue to stay stable, then there might be more reason to buy and sell with the currency, but at this time it is still a risky proposition.

Bitcoin Alarms

4.  It can raise alarms

If a buyer attempts to purchase a home with bitcoin, it can raise a whole host of alarms. First off, Bitcoin comes with very little oversight, as such, it becomes a cause for concern and the seller’s realtor will ensure that a Fintrac is completed. This ensures that the money can be verified to ensure that it is not used in any illicit activities.

Bitcoin Use Caution

5. When Purchasing Property, Use Your Common Sense

The industry of real estate is notorious for lagging behind in technology and innovation, purchasing property with bitcoin can seem like a new fad or trend. Bitcoin can be another avenue for making purchase decisions. That’s why the Canadian market has been slow to buy into Bitcoin in real estate, and people are unsure about the staying power of the currency.

It’s not a walk in the park either way, if a home seller accepts the funds from the home sale through Bitcoin, for the CRA, he will need to verify where the money came from and declare it.

Buying and selling real estate with bitcoins may eventually get easier. The bigger question is if the currency can be trusted, what is its stability, and do you have proof regarding where the currency came from? All of these details mean that buying and selling home with Bitcoin can be an issue for the interim. A potential client would have to weigh risks and rewards.

Understanding the trends is just one step in our unique in-depth process to ensure that the special attributes of a project are paired together to create the right result – a successful sale for a client. Klein Group is here to partner with you in your acquisition or sale process.
