What happened? Are you ok?

[@yashpancholi]

Government should ban buying more than two houses under one family, the guy is misleading everyone, this is the reason why deserving families dont get home here in Canada at affordable rates, people like him keep the house market out of reach for everyone.

[@canadianjatti]

what part is misleading? he is being factual. He is just talking numbers. What makes you more deserving and him less? We have the same opportunities. If they can do this within a short time of arriving to the country I am sure you can too!

[@seekpeace260]

There is always someone who needs to rent. If there are no landlords who they will rent from? Also, there is overall shortage of housing for number of reasons and a retail investor buying properties is at the bottom of all.

[@Potatotalkies]

[@yashpancholi]

@@canadianjatti You totally missed the point, I already have a house here, but I have seen people who are first time house buyers are struggling to get one at reasonable rate. I would urge everyone who already has a house the same. If government cant, we should make sure our fellow residents have the equal opportunities, finding loopholes in the system and making money out of it is never going to justify whatever you say, morally. If you don’t follow, well it’s not the advice for you my friend. Keep doing whatever you can to make money out of. I would rely on my skills to make money rather finding shortcuts using real estate. Again just my point of view. Have a good day!

[@yashpancholi]

@@seekpeace260 Im not denying those facts, but at least we should do whatever is in our hands to help fellow Canadians who are looking for to buy a house for the first time, Thing about renting, you’re just trying to justify things which are not morally right, I disagree with that, if your landlord is owning multiple properties, then its even more concerning to me, government should definitely work on regulations, like they recently did for foreign investors to buy properties in Canada. Do whatever you want to man, but if you’re a youtuber and influencer, you should share your personal ways of making money with some sensibility, you’re motivating thousands of people to buy multiple houses finding loopholes in banking system, by taking line of credit? Be capable with your real skills! Come on, I don’t know where the world is leading to. Everyone is interested to defend false doing and preaching. Have a good day ahead!

I am a multiple property owner based in Ontario. I would suggest you better check with A lenders(top 5 banks) about using the HELOC for increased downpayment. Well you may be able to use it but this HELOC will be taken into account when banks calculate debt services ratios. Even if you don't use HELOC then also it be taken into consideration. Besides, HELOC is for emergencies purpose ideally. But you do you. But make sure to check with the A lenders. Correct me if I am wrong but this is from a personal experience.

[@sanketlawangare8616]

Thanks for making these awesome videos they are educational for me😄. Maybe a silly question I have but here it goes, why not put the $100k from refinancing on your condo itself?? It will bring your equity to ~20%, bring down monthly mortgage payment and probably you get some income from the rent??

[@Potatotalkies]

Putting money into the condo only reduces amortization down from 30 years - won’t reduce the payment. I would rather invest the 100K in buying another house and paying the servicing of the debt with Cashflow from that house.

[@jastin1567]

Sir, why are you changing your story? In your previous video you said you used your first property refinance money to do down payments for other properties.

Congratulations on owning 3 doors so far. Just a suggestion, try not to put money in condo investments. The condo maintenance fee is not generating any equity infact is helping your tenant to get free utility(water or hydro if included in condo maintenance fee). I doubt anybody who has bought condo in prime neighborhoods in and around GTA in last 5 years is making any cashflow even after doing 20% down. As per me any asset which is taking money out of your pocket is not an investment but a speculation. Regarding leveraging to invest -> It depends on ones own risk apatite but I would any day leverage no matter what is the HELOC rate, you can write off interest on HELOC and bring down effective cost of borrowing by 35-40% depending on your marginal income tax rate. Plus you can cycle money from investment income( rent paid by tenants every month) flush into primary home mortgage and readvance and borrow more to service your investments(pay for mortgage, utlities, insurance etc). Look into smith maneuver.

[@Potatotalkies]

Thank you Tarun. Fair points 👍 I bought the condo to live at 5% down ($22K). And only $400 down with a 100K HELOC on it. Still a fair deal. But i agree; it makes less sense to buy it as a investment to start with.
