Investing In The US As A Canadian…
And How To Do It RIGHT!!
(feat. Erwin Szeto)
Date: May 28, 2024
Ever been curious about Real Estate Investing in the US?? At Volition, for the past 14 years, we have been focussed on helping investors invest in over $250M of real estate and generate $100M of wealth in the Toronto market, but we are always open to learning more about other business models and learning from other investors.
The US has always been an intriguing market to invest in. But the US is a big place… if you’re interested in investing in the US, you probably have a lot of questions, like:
- Specifically WHERE should you invest?
- What are the best markets to invest in and why?
- How much are property prices there?
- What are the returns like?
- What is cashflow like?
- Compared to investing in Toronto or other cities in Ontario, what are the benefits / tradeoffs?
- What ownership structure should I use?
- What are the tax implications?
- Can I get financing?
- What are tenants like?
Enter Erwin Szeto, a longtime friend of Volition. Since 2005, Erwin Szeto and his team have navigated the challenging landscape of being landlords in Ontario. Now, they are shifting their focus and guiding their clients’ investments toward the more landlord-friendly environment of the USA. This decision comes after assisting Canadian clients in transacting over $440,000,000 in income properties. Faced with issues like affordability constraints, tenant-friendly laws, rent control, and rental licensing in Canada, Erwin sees a clear opportunity in the U.S. Here, there is a significant influx of investments leading to the creation of high-paying manufacturing jobs. Erwin and his clients are poised to capitalize on these opportunities where landlord rights are stronger and there is no rent control.
To facilitate this transition, Erwin has partnered with and become a client of SHARE, a one-stop-shop U.S. Asset Manager. Founded by Canadians for Canadians, SHARE enables as passive an ownership experience as possible for landlords in the U.S., while still maintaining direct, 100% ownership.
