To forecast we have to set the baseline Macro Principles Local principles Basic Principles to study Macro: Inflation or deflation ahead Timing (Burnaby home) Trend Cycles Local: Inward migration/job creation Affordability Demand and Supply Interest rates Let’s look at Basic Principles to study Most important… Inflation or Deflation? We at JREI believe in Inflation as a certainty JREI has held the multi-year …that Hard assets position... are inflating worldwide!!! Milton Friedman: "Inflation is primarily a monetary phenomena" This slide is 14 years old Are we telling the truth on inflation? It is not 2%! Shadowstats.com More inflation… the outcome….always! Exactly what we have seen for 50 years (My book ‘Forget about location, location, location’ (1998) ) In 1998 – the average price in Vancouver was $278,000 But Ozzie – it is clear it is deflation!

Every time … Deflation is imminent! • ALL PREACHED DEFLATION- BUT WE WENT THROUGH THE VALLEYS…. And had more inflation. Inflation - deflation ? The likely outcome? INFLATION! Massive changes are taking place Shift will continue to be from paper assets (in 2001 here) to hard assets I have been in the Real Estate Business for 45 years Inflation is good for Real Estate LAST YEAR we said: It is a mad world… • Outcome in uncertain times? The rich will continue to look to park their money • The rich will continue to flee emerging markets and collapsing currencies and are stampeding into • London Real Estate (high end residential and commercial!) and other world-class cities – yes including Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal. • The rich will buy anything and pay any price for things of value….INFLATION ROLLS ROYCE I SPENT THE SUMMER IN EUROPE • Real Estate values are rising in Switzerland, Sweden, Norway, Finland, France, Germany • London up 14% - over 1 million 18% • Dublin up 18% - residential • Spain – George Soros Fund • I WILL SPEND 2 MONTHS IN EUROPE THIS YEAR TOO Current hard asset inflation worldwide is already a fact India, China and a slew of other Asian markets are experiencing huge real estate inflation Source: Roubini Global Economics Why Real Estate? REAL ESTATE Physical asset Local in nature YOU can control WHY IT IS BETTER than MOST other investments? REAL ESTATE HAS: LEVERAGE, your cash investment maybe 25% or 5% (as an owner) IT PRODUCES AN INCOME MORTGAGE REDUCTION (over time) – Over half the payment going to principal – paid by tenant CAPITAL APPRECIATION GAINS –(spectacular gains!) You have control over your investment Real Estate investment you can affect the outcome personally! Flexibility: Timing Trend Study cycles You can add value Inflation will help real estate Real Estate offers many ways to make money. You can: • Assign it • Mortgage it • Rent it out • Lend on it • Grow stuff on it • Leverage it Unique advantages and flexibility REAL ESTATE? In US: Defer capital gain – forever You can write off interest against income In Canada: You can defer your capital gain for up to 5 years (by carrying a mortgage) REAL ESTATE HAS HISTORY! Home price increase 2014 Investor with 25 % down payment (Mortgage redux) Homeowner returns with 5 % down payment Real Estate Last year I asked you to: Buy Phoenix and Las Vegas, Austin, Houston, San Diego Our RETURNS on full price are up 14% - 29% On DOWNPAYMENT? Spectacular gains! Find out what we recommend this year!!! Real Estate Action Plan: Goal? So? Actually based on history Everyone should buy a condo every 5 years! (imagine that you had!) BUT WHAT IF THERE IS NO INFLATION? Take a 300,000 mortgage at 2.9%: Nearly 50% of the payment is going towards principal! • (Monthly payments are $1,402.86 per month) • Mortgage balance after 5 years is $255,880 or $44,120 (52% of all payments!) has been paid off! Inward migration Net international immigration to B.C. jumped 16% in 2014 to 35,640, There will be 50,000 by 2017 – most settle in LM Korean or China bank set up in British Columbia, rather than say New York State or even Washington. 100% corporate tax break The Immigrant Investor Venture Capital Pilot Program says each investor will be required to have a net worth of $10 million and make a non-guaranteed investment of $2 million over 15 years. These funds will be invested in “innovative Canadian-based start-ups with high growth potential”. Overseas buying of businesses – hotels – golf courses Interest rates 5 year money – still available at below 2.7 % Variable as low as 2.05% LIFE TIME LOWS…! Short term versus long term.. Investors don’t worry about interest rates…WORRY whether you get the money at all at re-finance! What is Poloz doing? Poloz warned we are ‘the most indebted ever’ Poloz warned house prices are 30% over valued Then he brings DOWN INTEREST RATES to easier to buy?! What gives? What does he know that he is not telling? Outcome? Will he shorten Amortization period? DP increases? GO long on your mortgage now! He must do something or we will continue to have higher prices What about affordability?

What about buying with a depreciating Canadian dollar? REMEMBER, THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS TO HAVE A GOOD DEAL! Let’s look at investing in the US whether the dollar goes down, up or stays the same in say 5 years. To simplify let’s assume that we want to invest $100,000 US and we expect as well a $100,000 profit at the end of 5 years (comprised of annual cash flow and capital gain). We then sell in 5 years and repatriate our investment of down payment, cash flow and profit back to Canada. CANADIAN $ INVESTED IN US REAL ESTATE Step 1 Canadian $ same Step 2 Step 3 Canadian $ up Canadian $ down CANADIAN INVESTED IN US REAL ESTATE DOLLAR STAYS THE SAME AT $.80CTS: DOLLAR GOES UP TO PAR $1.00 • Invest $120,000 Canadian (Approx. $100,000 US) and make $100,000 US profit in 5 years. • Invest $120,000 Canadian (Approx. $100,000 US) and you make $100,000 US profit in 5 years. • 5 years later you get back $120,000 Canadian plus $120,000 Canadian (US dollar profit) = total: $240,000 or a profit of $120,000 • 5 years later you lose on the exchange and get back $100,000 and you get $100,000 profit = total: $200,000 • or a profit of $100,000. CANADIAN INVESTED IN US REAL ESTATE DOLLAR GOES DOWN TO $70CTS • Invest $120,000 Canadian (Approx. $100,000 US) make $100,000 US profit in 5 years. • 5 years later you get back (approx.) $128,000 Canadian plus $128,000 Canadian (US dollar profit) = Total: $258,000 or a total profit of $136,000 YOUR WORST CASE STILL GETS YOU A SUBSTANTIAL PROFIT IN YOUR BEST CASE YOU BENEFIT FURTHER • You lose on the exchange going in, but you win on the profit in US dollars when you repatriate. • BUT ONLY if you have invested in a good deal! • We still like...
