In E101, of REI Hot Seat, Andrew Hines welcomes Zac Willms, David Hulshof, and Jacob Campagnaro to discuss an 8-unit apartment building investment deal in London, Ontario. The group reviews the details of the property, which is undergoing renovations, including the addition of two basement units and a total refresh of the existing units. The building already has major upgrades, such as a new roof and separate utilities.

David Hulshof runs the numbers and highlights that the project is expected to cost approximately $400,000 in renovations, bringing the total investment to around $1.4 million. With current cap rates and projected rent figures, the deal presents a potential full BRRRR (Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat) opportunity, with the possibility of pulling out all invested capital plus an additional profit. The team also discusses factors like CMHC financing, loan-to-value ratios, and market conditions, with the likelihood of interest rates decreasing, making the deal even more attractive.

The property is in a transitioning B/C+ neighborhood in London, with growing investor interest. It offers vacant possession, eliminating the challenges of tenant management during renovations. The episode concludes with Andrew encouraging listeners to join the Insiders List for access to off-market deals and exclusive opportunities like this one.
