Why Investing In Real Estate In Vancouver Can Make You Rich

This latest release showcases the many extraordinary things taking place in Vancouver and the recent growth which has caused a real estate boom in the area. 

They want to make people aware of just how much there is to see and do in Vancouver and the surrounding area, and to discuss why people are flocking there in droves.

Studies have shown that Vancouver is the fastest growing of Canada’s three largest cities, with their population growth representing almost 20% of the total growth for the region in the past decade. It was recently ranked as one of the most livable cities in North America, thanks to an emphasis on walkable infrastructure and a bustling art scene.

As the premier real estate team in the Vancouver area, B&L Real Estate Group is intimately familiar with the communities and commerce of the city. It is with this in mind that they have established their blog to share the ways in which, to a market investor, the Vancouver scene can be an untapped goldmine.

How to successfully invest in Vancouver real estate.

The first is simple; buy a home.  If already have one or more, buy another one. Then simply HOLD onto that property and never sell it. Over past 20 years prices have elevated more than anyone would have ever estimated them too.  As prices go up, you can use the increased values in your home or homes to help you buy your next homes. 

In Vancouver real estate investing, you are most likely playing the capital appreciation game. 

Even in just the past 3-5 months, many condos have increased by over $200,000; while houses may have increased at a lesser percentage of their total value, many have still increased from $200,000 to $600,000 and more.  

Another strategy I am seeing used successfully, if to buy property along future transit and arterial routes. Where there are new busses and Skytrain stations;  there is usually increased density and sites that can be rezoned into condos, townhouses and high rises. This increases the land value dramatically. 

If you look along Cambie Street and Granville Street for instance, you may be shocked at the values there now. Increase the value of the asset. 

When buying a house, it's always good to consider how can I increase the value of this property. I already mentioned rezoning and there are many other things that can be done. Can you add one or more basement suites, a coach house, a garage, or maybe subdivide the property. Is the home worthy of renovating to increase the amount of potential rental income. 

There are many more creative thoughts on this worth discussion.
