Affinity's Executive Team has a strong
track record of identifying unique and profitable real estate
opportunities. The following are snapshots of some of the
projects that Affinity's executive team has been involved
with.
CITY VIEW
The Before
The City View project consisted of 10 brand new town homes
located in East Vancouver. The town homes were newly constructed,
and the builder had run into financial problems and was
forced to sell the properties. The property also had poorly
completed interior and exterior finishes.
Our Improvements
Our plans included redesigning the interior and exterior
of the building to display a more contemporary look that
was both more attractive as well as more closely matched
to the trendy East Vancouver neighbourhood ambiance.
The Result
The renovations took place over a six-month period, after
which the property was put on the market and sold for $2,367,937.
The entire project was 100% debt financed with one mortgage
covering 80% of the required capital, and a second mortgage
covering the remaining 20% of required capital. The resulting
profit represented a 23.4% return on the total project value.

RIVER VALLEY
The Before
Located in New Westminster, River Valley was a rental building
containing 60 strata-titled suites. The building was structurally
sound but had substantial cosmetic issues and the interior
was quite outdated.
Our Improvements
Our planning focused on extensively updating the interior
and common areas of the building, as well as making necessary
structural repairs to the exterior. Improvements to the
suite interiors included installing new carpets and floors,
updating kitchens with new appliances as well as installing
new cabinet doors and countertops. Exterior work included
roof repairs, repair of exterior stucco as well as comprehensive
landscaping of the surrounding grounds. The renovations
took 28 months to complete.
The Result
The property was purchased for $5,545,100 with a $100,000
deposit. River Valley was sold to third-party investors
without taking title, for a total selling price of $7,668,950.
This represents a 1083% return on invested equity of $100,000,
and a cash-on-cash return 20.4%.

TERRA VISTA
The Before
Terra Vista was a two building complex consisting of 106
strata-titled suites located in Williams Lake, British Columbia.
It was built in 1980 and had minimal upkeep by the previous
owner, was over 50% vacant, and was in foreclosure.
Our Improvements
The entire building was internally and externally painted,
the common areas and the suites had new flooring installed.
The plumbing and electrical was upgradedñincluding replacing
lighting fixtures, thermostats, hot water tanks, bathroom
fixtures and kitchen appliances. Air conditioning units
were added to the suites for summer comfort. Exterior work
included the installation a new roof, decking, railings
and skylights. The property was re-branded with a new name,
and new signage was installed for both the building as well
as the parking areas. Overall, a renovation plan worth approximately
$1.2 million was implemented that took place over of a period
of 29 months.
The Results
The property was purchased in foreclosure through a court-order
sale for $4,288,400, and was sold to third-party investors
for $7,668,950, representing a 78% return on investment,
and 50% cash on cash return.
Project Summary
The increased sale price was reflected by increased
monthly rent generated from the suites.
