Canadian Real Estate Experts Offer Recession Proof Investments

How can you own a safe and secure investment without using your own money?

Canadians with good credit and steady jobs are feeling stuck on the sidelines when it comes to investing because they lack the funds. Spending their time working, saving for a home or putting money into their RRSP leaves little leftover cash to actively invest.

Glenn Simon Inc. offers a unique solution to this common challenge many Canadians face when it comes to investing.

Glenn Simon Inc. is an Alberta based wealth building joint venture investment real estate company. The owners, Todd Millar and Danielle Millar, are investment experts who partner clients with equity building Edmonton, Alberta oil sand real estate, strong appreciation and consistently profitable, safe and secure investments. They offer a wide range of services. Using the A.C.R.E (Authentic Canadian Real Estate) system to evaluate property, they also arrange property mortgages, set-up joint venture accounts, offer full service management, maintenance and a hands free investment partnership for their clients.

"We kept hearing from frustrated Canadians wondering how to get into investing. It inspired us to research ways to help folks with little capital get started. Being fairly risk adverse I wasn't going to advise clients to borrow or leverage against their assets to invest. I knew that there had to be a way for these would-be-investors to get in the market without going into debt" said Todd Millar, investment director of Glenn Simon Inc.

This system allows investors to receive an equity position and cash compensation by holding the mortgage of a revenue property. "The strategy is simple." says Millar. "Basically this program is suited for Canadians who are interested in building an investment portfolio but lack the capital needed to get started. Candidates should have a good credit score, steady job history and not have completed too many prior real estate transactions (specifically mortgages)."

A typical structure looks like this, within a private investment program, Glenn Simon Inc. carefully selects a cash-flowing revenue property in an economically strong area of Alberta. They provide all the capital needed to purchase and operate the investment, bringing years of experience and a proven track record to the table. The investor takes the role of qualifying for and providing the mortgage in return receiving an equity position and a cash bonus for each transaction completed. It's important to note, that all mortgages and property purchases strictly adhere to federal and provincial lending laws and are completely transparent.

"We are really offering a unique chance for the average Canadian to build a portfolio of real estate without using any of their money. It's a perfect route to get into the market with less exposure all the while learning about investing" says Millar.

The Blind Men and the Elephant

A community of blind men once heard that an extraordinary beast called an elephant had been brought into the country. Since they did not know what it looked like and had never heard its name, they resolved to obtain a picture, and the knowledge they desired, by feeling the beast - the only possibility that was open to them! They went in search of the elephant, and when they had found it, they felt its body.

One touched its leg, the other a tusk, the third an ear, and in the belief that they now knew the elephant, they returned home. But when the other blind men questioned them, their answers differed.

The one who had felt the leg maintained that the elephant was nothing other than a pillar, extremely rough to the touch, and yet strangely soft. The one who had caught hold of the tusk denied this and described the elephant as, hard and smooth, with nothing soft or rough about it, more over the beast was by no means as stout as a pillar, but rather had the shape of a post. The third, which had held the ear in his hands, spoke: "By my faith, it is both soft and rough." Thus he agreed with one of the others, but went on to say: Nevertheless, it is neither like a post nor a pillar, but like a broad, thick piece of leather." Each was right in a certain sense, since each of them communicated that part of the elephant he had comprehended, but none was able to describe the elephant as it really was: For all three of them were unable to comprehend the entire form of the elephant.

This Buddhist parable demonstrates that people tend to understand only a portion of an idea and then extrapolate all manner of dogmas from that; each claiming only his one is the correct version~

It’s important to look at the market in numerous ways. To truly understand it you need to dig deeper and explore the underlying factors that drive it. Like a good doctor treats a patient; by examining all symptoms, the holistic relationship can be understood and treated.

Getting a clear, well-rounded view is essential. That’s how you can invest with confidence and knowledge.

Or as my mentor would say ‘What’s behind the curtain?

Look at the whole Elephant!
