Search for Toronto Real Estate
Being a family of real estate investors as well as a home builder in Toronto, BVM Contracting is uniquely positioned to help many different types of real estate investors in Toronto.
The first and most important step in the world of real estate investing is buying a property. In a market like Toronto, it is important to understand what you can afford and which areas you can afford investing in. There are two great websites that you can use to do some preliminary research about property prices.
1) RE/MAX INTERACTIVE REAL ESTATE MAP
RE/MAX made some pretty substantial investments with their website a few years back and were able to create a very interactive way of looking around for properties. You can search for properties all over Canada, and filter based on the type of property (condo vs freehold vs town home). You can also filter for rentals as well, which is very helpful for figuring out what market rent is in the neighbourhood if you have buy and hold investment property in your portfolio.
What is better than the filtering capabilities is that you can also save searches based on what you are looking for in a property, and get sent updates when new properties become available that fit your chosen criteria.
2) Zoocasa
Zoocasa is a newer service that has very similar capabilities to the RE/MAX website, but is more geared towards use on phones. Zoocasa has an app that you can download on your phone and makes it very easy to check for real estate prices on-the-go.
A feature that is awesome and built right into the search is active/sold/archived listings. Zoocasa allows you to not only see what is on the market, but what has been sold recently. They have the same capabilities with rentals, which is a great perk for buy-and-hold real estate investors that are trying to maximize their rental income and determine which areas are more lucrative for investment.
Conclusion
If you are serious about buying property to invest in in the Greater Toronto Area, it is always a good idea to seek professional consultation with a Real Estate Agent. Real Estate Agents will be able to help you find the property you are looking for and have direct access to MLS, which is where all properties for sale are posted.
