Holdings OZ — Opportunity, well placed.

Two brothers, two Oz & one vision. Built to hold. Hold to grow.

01

The Structure

Before the first key, the company itself has to be built properly.

  • Holding company above the property corporations when appropriate
  • Properties or risk groups split by size, financing and liability
  • Separate bank account, bookkeeping and records per corporation
  • Shareholders agreement: ownership, voting, capital, guarantees, distributions, exit
  • Property and liability insurance in place before closing
  • REQ filings, ultimate beneficiaries, corporate records and tax filings kept current
02

The Deal

A deal is decided on paper long before it is decided at the notary.

  • Underwrite on verified leases, current rents and actual expenses
  • Keep today's NOI separate from potential upside
  • DSCR of at least 1.25× — or the lender's minimum, whichever is higher
  • Budget vacancy, repairs, management, municipal and school taxes, insurance, utilities, capex
  • Montreal transfer duties and all closing costs inside the acquisition budget
  • Promise to Purchase conditional on financing, inspection and due diligence
  • Notary verifies title, hypothecs, servitudes and registrations before closing
  • Three to six months or more of operating and debt service reserves
  • Lender and financing relationships established before serious offers
03

The Team

Nothing here is done alone. These are the people that make it work.

  • Partners — capital, strategy, decisions, accountability
  • Commercial broker — sourcing, negotiation, market knowledge
  • Mortgage broker or lender — financing and refinancing
  • CPA and tax advisor — structure, taxation, books, reporting
  • Notary — title, hypothecs, deed of sale, closing
  • Corporate or real estate lawyer — agreements, contracts, protection
  • Insurance broker — property and liability coverage
  • Appraiser — valuation and lender requirements
  • Inspector or engineer — physical due diligence, major building issues
  • Property manager — tenants, rent, maintenance, daily operations
  • General contractor and trades — repairs, renovations, capital projects
