How Fortune Came To Mr and Mrs Investor

Ok, maybe not a fortune now but a start on the road to financial freedom

3 sales in Barrie in September highlight how financial freedom can be achieved through investment property.

These are actual figures and a portfolio made up of income generating properties such as these could mean waving goodbye to the day job :) Remember as well as the positive cash flow, the mortgage is being paid down and the home should increase in vale over the medium to long term.

Property 1

Purchase price $186,000
Monthly mortgage $747.99 based on 10% down fixed for 3 years at 3.65%.
Monthly property tax $183.33
Monthly insurance $44
Monthly rent $1,150 plus utilities. Home was already tenanted so no void period.

Positive cash flow $174.68 per month.

The rent could be $1,175 or $1,200 but the investor was happy to keep the existing tenants on at $1,150. They had already lived in the house for 3 years, took immaculate care of the property and ensured no void period from day 1.

Property 2

Purchase price $179,000
Monthly mortgage $787 based on 10% down fixed for 4 years at 4.09%.
Monthly property tax $186
Monthly insurance $40
Monthly rent $1,500 plus utilities. We ensured the Agreement of Purchase and Sale had a condition for the buyer to be able to advertise and show the home before closing. The property is near Georgian College and was rented to a mature student with children who moved in on closing day.

Positive cash flow $487 per month.

Property 3

Purchase price $192,000
Monthly mortgage $516 based on 10% down with variable rate of 2.65%.
Monthly property tax $200.
Monthly insurance $50
Monthly rent $1,200. Home was already tenanted so no void period.

Positive cash flow $434.

Down payments were made with money from a line of credit secured against the buyers’ primary residence. Interest rates on LOC’s vary but for an average we can say 1% above prime: 3.25%. Again as an average we can say down payment plus closing costs etc totaled $21,000. The monthly interest payment would be $56 per month. Still leaving a very healthy positive cash flow and only equal to an extra large Tim’s each day :)
If you have equity in you home then the road to financial freedom is available for the cost of an extra large Tim’s each day ( although the rent will cover the LOC interest as well.)
