Costly Mistakes Investors Make

We will take a look at some issues that are often overlooked by investors. Failing to consider these issues could be disastrous.

1. Not understanding the tax implications.
The whole point of investing is to make money, correct? Before you jump into any investment, you must understand the tax implications of buying, owning and selling that investment. Using an accountant that specializes in real estate will help you understand terms such as Recapture of Capital Cost Allowance.

2. Assuming that it will appreciate.
Over the past three years, Canada has seen some explosive growth, especially in the major cities. But appreciation is never guaranteed. Aggressive growth investors looking to buy and sell under three years of ownership could run into problems if they don’t consider this fact.

3. Not double checking surrounding real estate lots.
There is nothing worse than buying real estate only to find out that your view and building will be completely obstructed by a new building. Any sign of cranes or even a zoning amendment application can be detrimental to the value of the property. Even if you are surrounded by protected heritage properties, do some research with the city.

4. Not running the numbers.
Real estate is a game of numbers. The upside is that these numbers make real estate investments predictable and controllable. Running the numbers before taking the plunge puts you in control of the situation and ensures that you maximize your capital placement.

5. Ignoring the market signs and signals.
Ignoring the market signs and signals is an amateur move that can be devastating to your bottom line. Ignore the media, read industry reports and ask the right questions.
