Why Coach & Laneway Houses are Completely Changing the Game for Real Estate Investors

June 7, 2022/in Great Living, Real Estate Education, Visture News /by Joanna

A new type of affordable housing is on the rise across Canada and it’s not old school basement suites, tiny condos or repurposed shipping containers.

A coach house, or laneway home is an accessory residential unit (ARU) on an existing property, usually built in the backyards of single-family homes, or duplexes. Most coach houses average 700 square feet per floor and can be 1-2 stories, some with garages and without.

Although municipal bylaws can vary depending on the location, you can usually avoid time-consuming and costly zoning challenges like you would with a brand-new build on a vacant property.

Here’s an example coach house project Visture is currently building here in Peterborough!


So, why is this such a game-changer for real estate investors? The emergence of coach houses or laneway homes is making it easier for people to balance the high cost of living in popular suburban areas, and for real estate investors to add supply to the marketplace, while generating additional rental income. Coach houses are a great way to completely level up your real estate portfolio and secure your financial future without having to overhaul your investing strategy. You can reap the benefits of a multi-family rental income without having to actually venture into multi-family, commercial or industrial investing.

In some instances, where investors are struggling to create cash flow, leveraging a coach house can be the catalyst to generate positive cash flow and even bigger  returns on their investment while adding supply to the rental marketplace. 

Check out these numbers and see for yourself how adding an accessory residential unit such as coach house can create HUGE cashflow!



We can help maximize your real estate portfolio with turnkey rent-ready renovations, duplex conversion, intensification projects, coach houses and complete new builds.

Secret Weapon Unveiled – Leasing Bot

September 17, 2020/in General /by visture

Secret Weapon Unveiled – Leasing Bot, here at Visture, we believe in using technology to innovate the field of property management. This industry is one typically run by old, stodgy, stale ideas and it’s time for a shakeup. Early in 2020 we introduced a whole new concept, a whole new idea to innovate a leasing robot (AKA: leasing-bot).

We combined the power of remi360.com’s Artificial Intelligence (AI), automated marketing systems with Visture Property Management Peterborough’s innovated leasing process to create the Leasing-Bot

Over the last several months, we can confirm that the Leasing-Bot has saved hundreds of hours and generated dozens of quality leases, mostly automatically. Genius!

For the full scoop, register and attend the Leasing-Bot Presentation that is being hosted by remi360 and Visture Property Management Peterborough.

Rent Increase During Covid

September 2, 2020/in General /by Property Management

One of the most common landlord questions is “Should I raise my rent?”. There are a few things you need to consider before increasing it.

At Visture Property Group, we do not increase the rent until the next tenant turnover. Unless the rent is significantly under the market value. But, if it’s on the market value, we prefer longer tenancy rather than a tenant turnover every single year.

WHY?

Folks, tenant turnover is expensive. Not only that you have a risk of being vacant but the risk of advertising is there as well. It can costs $200 up to $400 for advertising to fill an apartment. The risk of being vacant in a month can costs you more than the monthly rent of your property.

Visture Property Management is here to help you realize that the risk is not worth it. Advertising costs are way higher than the 2% rent increase you’re going to get.

Remember to increase your rent if it’s below the market value, folks!

Introducing the Leasing Robot

August 28, 2020/in General /by Property Management

LIVE EVENT: On Sept 17 @ 8pm ET come learn how this breakthrough technology can save property managers and landlords 3 hours per day on average! https://remi360online.com/LeasingBot

https://www.visture.ca/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Leasing-Bot-Ads.mp4

##

Take a minute to imagine the perfect leasing process. You generate an inquiry to a property, have a phone conversation to position the new lead, have the potential tenant apply, review the application and, if approved, you book a showing. Next, you will conduct your showing, close the deal, get the lease signed and receive your deposit. 

If this is how every lease worked, you would be walking on cloud nine. Unfortunately, we are all too familiar with the common trouble spots that end up jamming the gears of the leasing process. Those main issues are:

  • Hours and hours of chasing people to book a call
  • Not properly positioning the property from the start
  • Time wasted simply chasing applications
  • Hours lost to repeated booked showings
  • The admin notices

These five time-wasters are what used to interrupt the leasing workflow time and time again — but no more.

Introducing an all-new automated leasing program with remiOnline!

The team at remi360 Marketing Solutions have built what they call ‘remiOnline,’ an all-in-one marketing powerhouse built to compile every last leasing tool you need into one system, streamlining the leasing process and saving you valuable time. When it comes to leasing, the remiOnline system acts as what we at Visture Property Management Peterborough like to call a Leasing Robot. A Leasing Robot describes any system that will automate the vast majority of the leasing process while also accepting input from the user for better customizability.

Let us give you an example. The remiOnline system reflects any user’s unique sales process, or their ‘pipeline.’ Through triggers, the system can automatically adjust your leads along your pipeline depending on what stage they should be at. Say a potential tenant has booked a call with you through remiOnline’s custom forms — the system knows to generate that booking in your calendar, notify you of the booking, generate this new lead in your remiOnline contacts, as well as place this new lead in your pipeline allowing you to receive that crucial business data the moment it adjusts.

Various leads have been automatically placed inside two stages of this pipeline, ‘Showing Pending’ and ‘Showing Confirmed’

All five issues are solved by using this Leasing Robot, and it is the remiOnline system that powers it. The integrated CRM manages the pipeline of all tenants, and with the built-in text message and email system, all of your business communication needs are in one place. While you can send out custom messages to your leads, all texts and emails come already written for you to help further automate the entire process. 

You will receive automated admin notifications. These include notifications to the admin team for checks, notifications to owners when approval is required, and even notifications to accounting when a deposit is coming. What’s best is that the setup of remiOnline is already completely done for you. All you need to do is answer some questions, and the remi360 team will customize the system to meet your exact needs. This entire system, along with Visture Property Management Peterborough’s Virtual Staging service combine to become the ultimate leasing time saver!

Don’t ever wonder what the perfect leasing process might look like. Experience it by experiencing remiOnline. Contact remi360 today to sign up!
