Also know as Ottawa townhouses capital of Canada. Montrealers and Vancouverites have the distinction have the fewest single-family houses: 59% and 61% owned by homes in these cities or single. Toronto and Ottawa follow and are strikingly similar: 66% owned houses in both cities are singles. The proportion of individual apartments to rent apartments below 80% in Calgary and 82% in Edmonton.

It may come as a shocker that Toronto, where 12% of owner-occupied housing allowances are owned apartments, is closer to Ottawa-Gatineau -9% in this regard as to Montreal 23% and Vancouver -21%. The percentage is identical (9%) for Ottawa as Ottawa-Gatineau.

Ottawa is the undisputed townhouse capital city of Canada. Almost 18% of city apartments are rented town houses. The percentage for the Ottawa-Gatineau is 14%, suggesting that town houses are mostly in Ontario the side of the CMA.

Next-highest and back, Toronto and Vancouver 8%, Calgary – 7%, Edmonton -6% and Montreal -5%. Where in other cities in the Townhouse is a fairly marginal product, here in Ottawa is really a niche for itself.

These figures suggest that Ottawa house owners are eager to embrace denser types of housing in the form of town houses in the first place, but also housing properties.

There are many businessmen who are into real estate business cause they believe that money there is easy as long you know the right strategy on how to work on it.

There are good reason why they chose to be in line on this business.

These are several facts:

1. Cash flow from property This is the difference between your income and your expenses on that specific piece of property.

2. Appreciation in the value of a property There are two kinds of appreciation, the “external” and “internal”. “External” appreciation has nothing to do with the actual property itself but comes from economic conditions. Some people have made good deals by predicting where the next property “hotspot” will be and buying in hopes of quick appreciation – but of course, if you get it wrong, you are in trouble. “Internal” appreciation comes from improvement in the actual property itself and is easier for you to control. You can buy a piece of property in need of repair at its “as is” value, improve it and sell it on at a profit.

3. Leverage – being able to buy a piece of property by borrowing a percentage of its value. No other type of investment offers such a high degree of leverage. It is not unusual for investors to purchase a single family house by obtaining 100 percent financing – i.e. “no money down” real estate investing. This of course is very attractive if you can “flip” the property at a profit, quickly repay the loan and pocket the difference. But of course this can also be extremely risky. If the property doesn’t prove to be a good investment, you are in trouble. Never forget the loan is a loan and has to be repaid – somehow.

4. Amortizing You have bought the property with other people’s money, but as you repay, your principal is being reduced. That means your equity – your level of ownership of the property is being increased.

5. Tax advantages There are several ways in which property ownership can be used for legitimate tax avoidance – though this should not be your first and foremost reason for buying the property, more a side benefit.
