Identifying The Best Preconstruction Condo Investments

Developers are known to play a little game when setting up for their initial launching of the pre-construction condo project and one very important piece of information is… The Three Golden Keys to investing In Pre-construction Condos

Approach a pre-construction condo that you have learned about with three, highly focused bits of criteria:

  • The developer…who is it?
  • The location…it is premium or prime with loads of potential?
  • The value…do your homework on the area!

These three pieces of criteria will save any investor money, time and effort before and after the investment. Investors want to maximize on the investment at the time of resale and to help you along is a savvy breakdown of each of the golden keys.
Believe it or not, this three-part information bits is nothing new…real estate agents have applied this savvy logic for many years, kind of like realty 101 for beginners.
If your intention is to rent any or all the condo units you buy, then you will have a steady stream of income, depending on your ability to pick the best preconstruction assigment condos. More and more people want to obtain the ‘work, live & play’ urbanistic life, so newer developments that incorporate this ideal will most likely benefit and pique the interest of the future buyer.

TARION Awards of Excellence and The Homeowner’s Choice Awards

If you want to know more about any developer, you can personally check them out through TARION, which is a third party warranty corporation that oversees issues & complaints about any single developer. The goal here is to understand what makes a developer reputable and TARION does award developers that consistently build ‘spot-on’ condominiums. These awards are the TARION Awards of Excellence and The Homeowner’s Choice Awards.

TARION provides information about developers that outlines how many homes that developer has built in the past 10 years and if there are any claims registered on them (via the Ontario Builder Directory).

Checking Developers Through The BILD

Another means of checking out a developer is through the BILD (the building industry and land development association), as this division of ‘peers’ honors the best developers for each year.
Reputable developers sometimes have in-house architects & interior designers, have their own builders & construction team and some even have their own landscape architects and this lends to their individual personalities.
