Or perhaps you do have the money for some revenue property but don't have the skills or time to invest wisely and manage the place. “Many people today want to Own property but don't have a down payment,” said Peter Clement, who holds seminars and has produced home study kits on buying and managing residential real estate. “Just as many people have more cash then they need for their rainy day fund — probably sitting in boring, low-interest T-bills and savings accounts. People also have paid off the mortgages on their own homes, and could bor- Tow against their equity to invest.” To help bring “finders” and investors together, Clement has developed a new seminar and wkbook: Joint Ve in Real thing from this i ing look back on Castlegar's past.

The finder finds the property, negotiates the purchase and man- ages the place. Investor and find- without a down payment,” said Clement. “The investor puts up the down payment. You find and buy a place, and pay for the mort- gage, taxes, routine repairs and maintenance. You also pay for capital improvements but then get a credit when the place is sold. “It's imp to keep your investor informed and to keep all receipts. Also allow yourself lots of time to buy out the investor.” Clement stressed the impor- tance of having an appropriate joint venture agreement; his work- gether ‘finders’ and investors in r when you sell, finance, brings in another investor or increase the rents dramatically.” Always aim for a win-win sit- uation, said Clement. “Work with willing investors,” he adives find- ers. “Develop a reputation for integrity, honesty, diligence and success. Have a common goal strategy. “Have your investors win Take care of her - and treat her money even better then your own.” Both parties should sleep on a joint venture agreement and book contains a model er split the eventual profit (or possible loss) 50-50.” A joint venture involves three people: the investor, finder and manager; the investor still gets half the profit while the finger gets 30 per cent and the manger 20 per cent. Or the finder/manag- er gets 40 per cent and the tenant 10 per cent. “A joint venture could enable you to move into your own home designed to be fair and equitable to both finder and investor. “There are no hard and fast Tules,” he said. “Each agreement can differ according to the partic- ular situati the have indep legal advise before signing, he said. Clement stresses investing in real estate is for the long term, it’s not @ get-rich-quick proposition. And he readily admits there can be Fair is Partners agree to.” Clement puts the onus for joint venture on finders - to find both investors and properties.

I believe we must change our institutions, make them more efficient and effective so that the mounting deficit can be reduced. British Columbia needs a long range bs Fi the cur- rent recession better than other regions in the country, our Province may not be as success- ful in the next economic down- turn if we fail to curb our operating defi estimated this year to be $1.8 billion. A direct way to reduce the deficit is to cut the size and cost of government. Although I am cautiously optimistic about the latest federal constitutional deal, I am distressed the agreement calls for increasing the number of Members of Parliament we elect to the House of Commons. We need fewer MP's not more! A larger House of Commons will mean the cost of government will rise, rather than be less expensive and more cost-effective The B.C.

This province is only three months into the 1992/93 budget year, and the NDP government is already admitting that they are hundreds of millions of dollars over budget. A Liberal government in B.C. would create a single spending authority. A new Ministry of the Exchequer would bring together Treasury Board, the Ministry of Finance, Audit Services and an Assessment Authority. This new ministry would operate at arms length from Cabinet, thus removing the discretionary spending from politicians. This independence from Cabinet would be similar to the tradition- al separation between Cabinet and the Ministry of the Attorney- General. Under a Liberal government, the Finance Ministry would be ° the single signing authority. Since Treasury Board is the agency that determines spending priorities within budgets, the board would direct programs that initiate finance and spending. The budget estimates would be audited on a quarterly basis, providing a com- plete, ongoing and public record of the revenue into government and their spending habits. There must also be a real effort made to reduce the size of government. This can be accom- plished through a reduction in the duplication of services between different levels of gov- ernment, and within ministries. We would establish a Ministry of Community Development to bring together the Ministries of Municipal Affairs, Community Health, Education, Social Ser- vices, Housing an Economic Develop-ment. One ministry instead of four will save the tax- from 1A J g¢ beyond all means Payers millions of dollars. In addition, one larger ministry will Provide more efficient service to the taxpayer. The cost of government in Canada is escalating, and we can no longer afford to run deficits. We are living on bor- rowed money. Governments must stop trying to be all things to all people; this country and Province needs a government that has a strategy based upon a sound plan that will meet the needs of people within the lim- its of affordability. The Liberal Party of B.C. has such a plan to reduce the size of government and its deficit. Together we will make it happen. eal estate get for a contingency fund (either cash or a promise for more money if needed). Problem: The property is a dud and causes grief. Solution: Assess the cost of staying in the deal. If it's not worthwhile take your losses and get out - and go for the next investment. You (the finder) might consider covering the investor's loss. Problem: Property values drop. Solution: You are in for the long term, so hang on. Problem: You are tempted to sell because of unexpected costs. Solution: Consider refinancing or bringing in another investor. Problem: The finder dies. Solution: When a buyer dies before closing, the deal dies, too. Always get as much as possible in writing, Clement said. “This is not done out of mistrust or worry that the project will turn sour. The Purpose is to itemize all the con- ditions of satisfaction of the part- ners, to get all possible issues on the table and to prevent any mis- understanding from occuring once the project is under way.” Mike Grenby is a Vancouver- based columnist and independent financial adviser who works with individuals; he will answer your questions as space allows + write to him clo The Castlegar Sun 465 Columbia Avenue, Castlegar, BC VIN 1G8.
