The Condo Bible for Canadians by Dan S. Barnabic Pdf

"A timely, admirable book. Barnabic recognizes the paradox inherent in the idea of shared private property. He provides would-be buyers with a checklist of things to look for when assessing the financial stability and long-term viability of a particular condominium corporation." -BENJAMIN GIANNI, Associate Professor, Azrieli School of Architecture and Urbanism, Carleton University "I particularly like the description of the 100-unit complex example. Barnabic's expertise is invaluable to those considering condominium ownership and to those who may find themselves on the board of a condominium association." -KIMBERLY WINSON-GEIDEMAN, Ph.D., prolific author on real estate and Professor of Finance, Insurance, Real Estate, and Law at the University of North Texas The Condo Bible for Canadians is a buyer beware and owner beware book that reveals the legal and practical realities of condo ownership, compares owning a condo with owning a house/renting an apartment, and advises consumers on the dangers of the condo real estate market, given ... The debilitating market crashes of the late 1990s and 2006 The effects of today's record low interest rates, in which: Developers are enticing consumers into condo ownership by allowing low or even no down payments Real estate prices are soaring out of the reach of those with average incomes The market is being flooded with condo units, creating an oversupply that could prove disastrous Barnabic writes that very few consumers are aware that: One defaulting unit owner can affect the well being of all unit owners A high percentage of units being rented out may be a sign that the complex may be converted into an apartment building A condo association's default on a common loan can cause the demise of the whole condo complex and its individual units The Condo Bible for Canadians also includes: The Ten Commandments of Condo Buying Recommendations and remedies for government and financial institutions, condo associations, and condo boards to make condo ownership safer Dan S. Barnabic is a noted consumer advocate and a keen observer of condo proliferation. He worked in real estate as an agent, broker, property manager, and condominium developer. His over three decades in the real estate industry began in the 1970s and intensified after he witnessed the major real estate crashes of the late 1980s and 2006.

Air for Rent by Kenneth DePaul Pdf

What if you could invest in something that all people need, rent it to someone for a profit, and later sell that item for more money? In addition, you can finance that investment with someone else paying off most of the debt and deduct any expenses on your U.S. Income Tax return plus get a tax shelter to boot. The investment is in AIR: Ocean air, Golf Course air, Mountain air, City air, Country air... Where can you find this air to invest in? It is located right between the inside walls in buildings-- called condominiums. Condominiums are just like apartments, except they are deeded property. Condos are located everywhere. They can be owned, rented, sold, uniquely located, and provide amenities no average homeowner can afford-- like swimming pools and golf courses. Condominiums fit today's family lifestyles better than single-family homes, yet, they provide the same tax breaks. Apartment living doesn't provide those tax breaks. In addition, owners can make their condos as unique as they want without worrying about landlord restrictions. What's so great about investing in condos for rent, is that everyone needs a place to live, so there is plenty of demand and investors can buy one instead of a whole apartment complex to get started in real estate investing. In many areas, condominiums typically cost less than the price of a single-family home, which also makes it easier to invest. Air For Rent is a step by step guide that provides you with business recommendations, sample computer tools to copy, and documented experiences for you to leverage to help make you successful in investing in condominiums. By reading this book, you will learn how to: Obtain seed money Select and use computer toolsFind the right location and tenantRent out your condominium, and keep it rentedAssemble a team to run your propertiesLeverage years of business experiencesExpand your portfolio This guide covers the basics of what you need to get started to build up your wealth and income through the purchasing of condos and renting them out. This book is not a get rich quick scheme but a proven method that anyone can execute to become wealthy. The techniques described have been successfully implemented by the author and his experiences are well documented for your benefit. It's now up to you to become wealthy!
