Our Vision

Before buying real estate abroad, every foreign investor must answer the following question: Am I buying real estate for the purpose of earning an investment return on it or I am buying it to serve as a second home or lifestyle house that may be rented out in order to cover a portion of fixed costs? The following explanation may answer these questions and help you make the most appropriate decision about your real estate investment.

Most real estate developments in Canada offered to investors from abroad are holiday homes and condominiums that are located in ski, golf, or spa resorts in some of the most beautiful regions of Canada. However, second homes or vacation houses generate rental revenue only if the short-term rental property market and the economy are strong. Moreover, people who buy a house in resort locations usually consider it as an expense, not as an investment. Also, owning a luxury home or a condominium in a popular resort may require the payment of substantial resort fees. It may also require an investor to share as much as 50% of rental income with the rental company managing the resort. All these factors make buying second homes and leisure properties generally unattractive.

However, the REMA team brings to investors a new approach in real estate investment by offering favourably priced rental investment properties that are specifically selected for their superb location, long-term and fixed rental income potential, and future capital growth. All REMA properties are new and come with a 5-year building guarantee. At REMA, we are working with real estate investors interested in buying properties in excellent and safe locations that offer stable rental revenue flows guaranteed by long-term leases. Buying a rental investment property from our selected developments gives many investors from abroad an opportunity to diversify their investment portfolios across asset classes and markets.

With the current financial market instability, real estate in Canada is increasingly considered as a safe haven for making real estate investments. The REMA investment approach gives the opportunity to all investors to lease their rental investment properties to local families or couples under fixed, long-term leases. REMA takes the responsibility for finding the most suitable renter and for collecting the monthly rent on behalf of the investment property owner. Our team of professionals manages investors’ portfolio of rental properties so that the investor does not have to get involved in the nuances of managing the property. However, what specifically differentiates REMA from other property management companies is the plan under which REMA pays all property owners the equivalent of 2 years of rental income in advance. This advance payment of the 2-year rental income is made on the day of sale closing. (For more information about our rental income guarantee, please contact one of our REMA representatives.)

Another reason why REMA is unique is that it offers a range of reasonably priced investment properties for sale. In our portfolio, investors can buy a property for as low as 189 000$CAD* (123 000 EUR or 106 000 GBP) and finance it with a mortgage of up to 65% of the purchase price with a Canadian bank. REMA works closely with mortgage specialists from different banks in Canada that will facilitate your financing needs. In fact, unlike in many other countries, in Canada it is quite easy for an international real estate buyer to obtain a mortgage.

What Makes Investing in REMA Properties More Advantageous than Buying a Holiday Home in a Resort?

Lower property price: REMA is offering rental investment properties at prices starting at 189 000 CAD versus 450 000 CAD and more for properties in a resort.

REMA rental-income advance payment: 2 years of rental income is paid in advance.

Rental revenues guaranteed by long term leases: Resort homes are usually rented only for short-term periods (weekend or a week) with no fixed leases that secure revenue flows. Occupancy rates for resort homes are usually quite high, averaging between 20% and 25%, while in the cities occupancy rates are nearly 100%.

No need to buy furniture or appliances: When you buy a home in a resort, you have to fully equip it personally with furniture, appliances, linens, decorations, and other furnishings. You will also have to pay for replacements or repairs of the furniture and appliances almost every 2 years. Investing in REMA rental investment properties, you as an investor are not obligated to provide any furniture or appliances.

No monthly bills to pay: If you own a home or a chalet in a resort, you have to make monthly payments for various utility and other bills, including the Internet, cable, insurance, heating and electricity, phone, and other types of expenditures. With investment in REMA properties, all these costs are paid directly by the renter.
