Strategy

We provide opportunities for individual and institutional investors through a reliable investment strategy. As  a  local  presence  with  access  to  the  right  information and relationships, VSM has demonstrated performance above the stock index.

VSM  Realty  works  with developers to acquire properties in attractive local markets which are poised to produce consistent returns.

VSM  focuses  efforts on properties offering locations with promising economic potential while providingour  clients  with   properties  that  will  sustain  themselves  for  the  long-term  and  produce consistent positive cash flow.

Historically,  real  estate  has  created  more  millionaires  than  any  other  asset  class. Investing in real estate   affords  the  careful  investor  a  global  opportunity  regardless  of  current  provincial  or  national outlooks. Residential, multi-family real estate has also outperformed other real estate classes, including retail, office, and industrial.

With  that  being  said,  informed  decisions  are  essential  in  minimizing  risk  and  maximizing  returns. Disciplined  investing and management  are  musts. VSM  Realty  has  the  experience, depth, and proper stance to manage such investments and to generate positive cash flow.

VSM  has  an  active  management  approach  that differentiates us from other typically more passive real estate   investors  such  as  pension  funds  and  REITs. Our  focused  Acquisition  Checklist allows us to accurately determine the criteria needed to make a sound investment.

Sample questions from our checklist are as follows:

    
• Will rents rise faster than average?
    
• Will vacancies be lower than average?
    
• Will population growth be higher than average?
    
• Will job growth be faster than average?
    
• Is housing affordability in the appropriate range (not too low so that too many renters are converted into owners but not too high sothat appreciation upside is limited or there's risk of a price bubble)?
    
• Are local political and business leaders willing to develop strong relationships with us and help us uncover and create good
    
• investment projects (e.g., city planners, realtors, leasing agents, property managers, developers, construction firms)?
    
• Is the construction complete or nearly complete and done at a high quality level?
    
• Are there opportunities to purchase properties at significantly below retail value?
    
• Is there a good fit between VSM and the original developer?

By properly assessing each property to determine its fit, we can more accurately choose the properties that best suit us and our investor's needs.
