The importance of transportation for a vibrant region
Understand “the agreement”
Buying a brand-new home or condo o ers an opportunity to get exactly what you really want. It can be a
dream come true and an investment for the future, but don’t forget, it’s also a legal transaction.
� e term “get it in writing” has never been more important in the case of the new-home or condo purchase since it outlines everything your new home will have in it and around it. Otherwise known as the Agreement of Purchase and Sale, the contract spells out the terms between you and your developer and/or builder. Without it, if there is a misunderstanding or disagreement, it’s impossible to prove what was agreed upon.
Since building a home is much more complicated than a resale transaction where the home already exists, there is no
set Agreement of Purchase and Sale or standard contract for buying a new home. In some provinces, builders may have standard contracts prepared by the local home builders’ association or their new-home warranty program. Builders often prepare their own agreements so new-home contracts can vary from one builder to another and from provinceto province.
Before you sign a contract, review it carefully with the builder and ask questions to make sure you fully understand what’s in it. Your next step is to then take it to a real estate lawyer and have it reviewed. Once it is signed, it becomes a legal document, so seeking the services of an experienced lawyer is an important step toward ensuring that your dream home becomes a reality.

I can still remember the � rst time I took a ride on the SkyTrain. It was around the time of Expo
‘86, the cars were shiny and new, and my grandma and I got on at the Granville Station and rode all the way out to Surrey and back. � e distinctive sound that the Bombardier cars make when pulling out of the station always reminds me of that � rst trip, which we thought was as exciting as any theme park ride.
It’s hard to believe that there was a contentious political battle fought over what has become an integral part of our region’s growth and urban planning. Certainly Surrey, New West, Burnaby and now Coquitlam would be very di erent places altogether if there was no fast, (mostly) reliable way to get to and from the city core. Now we are
again making an important decision for the city’s future. Take part in the Metro Vancouver Transportation & Transit Referendum, from March 16 - May 29, 2015, and have your say in the future of Metro Vancouver.
An average household would pay $125 a year for the increase to the province’s existing seven per cent provincial sales tax, according to Vancouver City Hall sta . � e new levy would raise $250-million a year for the capital and operating costs of the new transit projects, leaving regional mayors to seek about $3-billion from the federal government and province.
With more than one million new residents in the Lower Mainland over the next 30 years, this is one of the most pressing issues for the continued livability of our beautiful city.

//COVER STORY
» by SUSAN M BOYCE
Picture this: a spacious home overlooking a greenbelt in one of Langley’s most popular, family-oriented neighbourhoods. Add in the charm of Georgian-inspired architecture featuring gabled rooflines, covered front porches and generous, fenced yards plus interiors filled with contemporary pizzazz and voilà — you just defined the secret of Keaton’s success.
“Our first phase is sold out and has been so successful that we’re gearing up to open Phase Two at the end of March — months ahead of schedule,” says sales manager Amber Pogue. “And with almost 25 families already moved into their homes in Phase One, there’s a very lively sense of community developing here.”
SPACE FOR NOW AND THE FUTUREKeaton f loorplans are designed large — on purpose. “These homes are bigger than what you’ll find in the surrounding neighbourhood — up to 1,957 square feet,” Amber explains. “Young families love them because they know they’re buying a home they’ll be able to grow into. Downsizers love them because they have the space for their single-family-sized furnishings and the treasures they’ve collected over a lifetime. It’s a win-win scenario for everyone.”
Keaton TownhomesWEST COAST FAMILY STYLE
And here’s a bonus. Because this phase backs onto Keaton’s almost half-acre, lineal park that runs directly through the centre of the community, backyards feel even larger than their already generous footprint suggests. “Here on the West Coast, we’re passionate about our outdoor spaces,” Amber says. “These homes are a direct response to people’s desire to enjoy them in all four seasons.”
Need yet another outdoor enticement? All homeowners will also have access to the community’s garden plots and children’s playground. “It’s part of the way Keaton creates a family-friendly setting that encourages people to actually get to know their neighbours — an urban village in a rural setting,” Amber notes.
16 METRO VANCOUVER NEW HOME GUIDE | MARCH 6 - 20, 2015
STYLE TO SATISFYInside, Keaton homes present an immediately sophisticated yet inviting ambiance — starting with nine-foot ceilings and oversized windows throughout the main floor to enhance the sense of open-concept airiness. “Sunmark is known for their quality and the fact what you see is what you get,” Amber says. “Keaton is a great value that gives buyers everything on their wish list.”
Then there are Keaton’s gourmet kitchens — aka the heart of these homes and, according to Amber, a star attraction for buyers of all ages. So much more than just a cooking area, these are culinary and social hubs. For contemporary homeowners, this is where life happens, so details like Keaton’s stainless steel appliances, quartz counters, and raised microwave located in a full-height pantry panel beside the fridge score big time points. Many plans also offer not only the convenience of an eating bar between kitchen and dining room, but a spacious centre island with additional barstool-style seating ideal for “get me going quick” morning lattés or as an entertainment buffet. After all, everyone knows it’s still true that the very best parties always end up in the kitchen, so why not have many options for your guests’ comfort?
Master suites are, naturally, filled with luxurious details to delight — five-foot walk-in shower with glass enclosure, dual-sink vanity, and modernist lighting fixtures. And there’s a generously-sized, walk-in closet because there’s no such thing as too much closet space — just ask anyone who loves shoes, shirts, or sports jerseys.
ENVIABLE LOCATION“Keaton is the final development in this well-established, residential pocket of the Yorkson area,” Amber says. “So once these homes are complete, there will be no more of the noise and dust associated with ongoing construction. That’s something people really appreciate.”
Parents, she adds, are also thrilled when they learn that one of the Lower Mainland’s 19 StrongStart Day Care Centres is located right across the street in the Richard Bulpitt Elementary. Plus there are schools at all levels from kindergarten to university as well as “outside the box” educational options like dance, equestrian, and even flight — yes, as in airplanes.
Local amenities are equally impressive. The Langley Events Centre is just down the road, shopping at Willowbrook Mall or the bog box delights of the Langley Power Centre is barely a five-minute drive, and if you’re looking for an historical adventure, Fort Langley is sure to satisfy.
EXPERIENCE FOR YOURSELFThe Keaton show homes are open noon to 5 p.m. daily except Fridays at 7686 – 209th Street in Langley. So why not head over and experience the reality for yourself. Grand opening of phase two’s brand new showhome happens on March 28th. Prices start at $329,900 for a large three-bedroom home or $409,900 for a four-bedroom home. To find out more, visit keatontownhomes.com or call 604.882.3733.
Keaton is a great value that gives buyers everything on their wish list. — Amber Pogue

// NEIGHBOURHOOD SPOTLIGHT
» by DIANE DUFLOT
The Township of Langley RICH HISTORY AND A BRIGHT FUTURE
For many who live in the Greater Vancouver Area, the only way to own property is to move to the suburbs. Increasingly, however, certain neighbourhoods in the Lower Mainland are redefining what is thought of as suburban.
The Township of Langley certainly qualifies as one such place. Although suburbs are typically populated as a city sprawls out, Langley was one of the first locations in BC settled by Europeans. As such, it has a rich cultural heritage reflected in the variety of architectural styles that save it from being monotonous.
Ambling down Murray’s Crescent in Murrayville, for example, is like taking a walk through British Columbia’s colonial past: beautiful colonial-style buildings line the street, and a little parkette at the centre is the perfect spot for neighbours to gather. What’s more, the story of how Murrayville got its name is a source of pride for locals: in 1884 young Alexander Murray died in a heroic attempt to save a friend from drowning.
Fort Langley is known as “The Birthplace of British Columbia,” and traders for the Hudson’s Bay Company were the first non-indigenous people to populate the area, beginning in 1827. When gold was discovered in the Fraser River in 1858, Fort Langley became an important supply station on the way up the river in search of gold. After the gold rush, Vancouver and New Westminster continued to grow into larger cities, while Langley remained a largely rural landscape.
Although much of Langley maintains this rural feeling, consisting of farming territory and ALR land, recent development and increased population density in certain key areas have been catalysts for some change in the Township of Langley.
18 METRO VANCOUVER NEW HOME GUIDE | MARCH 6 - 20, 2015
Ambling down Murray’s Crescent in Murrayville, for example, is like taking a walk through British Columbia’s colonial past: beautiful colonial-style buildings line the street, and a little parkette at the centre is the perfect spot for neighbours to gather.
The new Willoughby Town Centre, for example, which is being touted as Langley’s first truly walkable community, has plenty on hand for all, including delish sushi at Noma, a great cup of joe at Mattu’s Coffee & Tea, a health club, a liquor store, a grocery store, a drug store, and a nail salon. All of this is easy walking distance from Sunmark’s Keaton, which offers handcrafted three- and four- bedroom homes that should attract families that want some of the conveniences of downtown living, without the hefty price tag, as Sanveer Shoker, Sunmark Developments’ Vice President asserts, “You really can’t find this kind of value anywhere else in the lower mainland.” Prices as low as $400,000 for a 2,000 square-foot townhome give buyers room to breathe, financially and physically.
See & DoMURR AY VILLE HALL, MURR AY VILLEThis quaint blast from the past, built in 1928, is a sweet spot to host a wedding or other private family event. The hall can host up to 200 guests. The Princess and the Pea, a B&B across the street, is a charming place to take wedding photos.
PORTER’S BISTRO COFFEE AND TEA HOUSE, MURR AY VILLEBuilt as a general store in 1888, this “Old-fashion bakery,” which has been in the Porter family for over 90 years and was once a Canada Post is great place to stop for a sandwich, pastry, and a fair-trade coffee. Porter’s offers entertainment in the evenings, too. Stop by for some jazz and blues on Friday or Saturday evenings.
WATERSHED CAFÉ, WALNUT GROVEThis sweet café gets flooded with gorgeous light on a sunny day and boasts a fireplace to warm up by on cooler days. If neither the sun nor the fireplace warms you up, you’re sure to warm up to the tasty menu which features yummy jacket potatoes, stuffed how you want ‘em, sandwiches, and more. The mantra, posted on the counter, shares the philosophy of the place: “slow food, slow eating, slow down, breathe.” Words to live by.
MARCH 6 - 20, 2015 | METRO VANCOUVER NEW HOME GUIDE 19
Not only do such prices appeal to young families looking to buy their first or second home, but the family feel of this neighbourhood is a further selling point. Sanveer remarks, “On a Saturday, all you’ll see are joggers, people on bikes, and kids playing in parks.”
Qualico’s Kensington is right on site here, and, as such, is a no-brainer for those who like to have everything right at their doorstep. It is being touted as “Langley’s first truly walkable community,” according to Sales Manager Denise Lintott. She continues, “Not only does Kensington make all daily essentials accessible, but it offers more space at incredibly desirable price point.” With prices starting as low as $199,900 for 600 square feet, Kensington makes purchasing a condo with amenities nearby easy, even for younger buyers. This message has been appealing to downsizers and first-time buyers alike. First-time buyers find the price appealing, while the empty-nest set are attracted to the fact that they can have single-level living here, without sacrificing as much space as they might have to elsewhere.
Meanwhile, Hayer recently saw their 20 designer single-family home development, Radius, sell out in Murrayville, and are now offering Exchange, a collection of 98 elegant townhomes whose interiors don’t sacrifice any modern beauty or convenience. Murrayville is home to an eclectic variety of buildings and shops that recall the town’s history, while giving residents and visitors plenty of what they want in the here and now, and Brandon Trent, Project Manager at Fifth Avenue Marketing, is clearly excited about what’s going on here. “Not only is this a mature neighbourhood, but this, combined with the amount of ALR land nearby, means that the area won’t see too much construction, he says.” This means, of course, that this long-established quiet community will remain a peaceful haven for families.
Although it’s exciting to see the Township of Langley moving into the twenty-first century with these walkable communities, it’s also reassuring to know that it won’t lose it’s charm as a quiet place to live in the process: farms still abound here, and the volume of ALR land in the vicinity ensures that this community will always be surrounded by plenty of greenspace and fresh air.

//PROJECT PROFILE
ArcadiaDOING HOMEWORK PAYS OFF FOR GROWING FAMILIES» by JANINE MACKIE
Buying a new townhome can sometimes feel like buying a new car. You love the floor model but once you tally up the upgrades, it quickly gets priced beyond your budget. That’s where Arcadia is a breath of fresh air.
Step inside the show homes and you’re sure to appreciate the built-in wine racks, stone countertops with chic waterfall edges and cool light pendants. They’re all included, right along with hot-water on demand, in-floor radiant heating, and powder rooms on the main floor.
“It’s pretty common for homebuyers to stop here initially, compare what others offer, then return after they’ve done their
homework because Arcadia’s value can’t be beat,” says the community’s sales manager Karey Island. “They love that they even get full size laundry here and natural gas BBQ outlets!”
Homes range from two-bedroom-and-dens priced at $300,209 all the way up to three-bedroom homes with rec room and double car garages priced at $375,000. Most quote without tax, but at Arcadia these prices include the net sales tax.
Designed by award-winning Giraffe Design and Integra Architecture, Arcadia’s aesthetic can best be described as a “must-see,” with remarkable Craftsman design merging modern elements with practical family function. The builder, Nordel Construction, started as a single-family home builder almost 30 years ago and has earned a reputation for taking a hands-on approach to each project they manage whether resort, new home or multi-family. It’s the little details like putting an extra layer of concrete between floor levels, or using HardiBoard on the exterior in place of regular vinyl siding that proves their penchant for quality.
Galley kitchens at the heart of each home features sleek stainless steel appliances, large islands and chic duo tone cabinets. The trough-style Kohler sinks are ingenious — now you can easily wash your oversized pots and roasting pans that don’t fit in the dishwasher! There’s airy nine-foot ceilings and laminate hardwood flooring on the main floor, luxurious broadloom carpet upstairs and vaulted ceilings in most master bedrooms. Ensuites feature oversized glass showers and luxurious marble-effect Caracalla tile flooring.
Walk your kids to school or to the boutique grocer, be at the Walnut Grove swimming pool in less than 10 minutes and enjoy a quiet setting backing onto a protected greenbelt.Arcadia is located at 20852 - 77A Avenue, just south of Highway One in Langley, and open daily (except Fridays) noon to 5pm.

EXCHANGEROOFTOP DECKS RAISE LIVING ABOVE IT ALL» by JANINE MACKIE
Just because you have a kid or a nine-to-five job doesn’t mean you have to lose your cool-factor.
In a Langley neighbourhood where jogging strollers, soccer balls and minivans are plentiful, Exchange by Hayer Builders Group was created for a new generation of lifestyle buyers who love modern architecture, outdoor living and fresh design elements.
“We wanted to do something totally new and different,” explains project manager Brandon Trent from Exchange’s new amenity building, complete with coffee bar and guest suite. “We built with the vision of giving young homebuyers everything they crave in a place to call home — lots of space, cool finishes and a real sense of community with garden plots, an outdoor playground and loads of visitor parking.”
The real art of living comes with the integration of huge rooftop patios in most homes which ooze with Cactus Club cool. Wired for an outdoor television and prewired speakers, they live like outdoor living rooms, saturated in afternoon sunshine and with views of Mount Baker and Golden Ears.
“Come summer you can have a lot of fun up here — entertain, garden and even use it as your private yoga studio,” suggests Trent.
Facing Richard Bulpitt Elementary, Exchange has modern curb appeal with an exterior delineated with horizontal lines using materials like cedar planks and black-framed floor-to-ceiling windows. The palette is deep and rich, while emphasizing earth tones.
All 98 of the homes are two-bedroom floor plans ranging from 1,067 to 1,230 square feet with 10-foot ceilings on the main floor and nine-foot ceilings on the bedroom level. Finished in one of two colour schemes, the look is contemporary with wide-plank floors and modern kitchens plucked fresh from a design magazine. Quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances and natural gas ranges are all included. All ensuite bathrooms feature frameless glass showers, undermount sinks and oversized porcelain tile floor.
With prices from the low $300,000s and monthly payments from $899, you might as well start packing. Grand Opening is Saturday March 21 from noon to 5 p.m. View the show homes, choose your floor plan and start living! Exchange is located at 7811 - 209th Ave. in Langley.

//DESIGN SECRETS
SPEND THE EXTRA MONEY TO GET PREMIUM PAINT IN THE COLOURS YOU WANT Most of us are more than familiar with the term, “builder beige.” It is the dreaded colour we are left with after buying a new home. As new homeowners, you are given a sheet of colours, from white to beige, to choose for your new walls. If you are lucky, you may be able to choose different colours for the bedrooms. These colours may be different, but they are still basically shades of white.
Some builders are known to give their buyers the opportunity to supply their own paint or even painters. If you’re given this chance, take it! This will allow you to choose high quality paint in the colours that will complement your furniture, fabrics and decor right from the start.
USE FLOOR PLANNER APPS TO PLAN YOUR SPACE BEFORE YOU MOVE IN In this age of technical living, there are many tools available to use to your advantage. There are multiple apps out there, where you can input the dimensions of your space and the sizes of your furniture and then place them in your room exploring the configuration that makes the most sense. You are also able to easily move, shift or delete these items to suit your preference, and what fits your family’s lifestyle. The great advantage of this process is printing them off to have when you move in. This will eliminate a lot of confusion on moving day as you can direct movers to where each item is to be placed.

BREATHE EASY IN YOUR NEW HOME Purchase and run air purifiers prior to moving in and during the first six months to a year of occupancy. A new home is wonderful and beautiful, but it often takes a while for the dust to settle. This will ensure you are not breathing in drywall dust or the potential toxins from paint, glues and building materials.
Remember to buy lots of furnace filters. A new-built home should have the furnace filter changed more often than an older home. There will be a lot of dust in your ducts that you don’t want clogging up your brand new furnace.
GET THE UPGRADES WHILE YOU CAN When buying a new home, it can be both a wonderful and stressful undertaking. When faced with the task of picking what options you want upgraded, it can seem like you are slowly watching your bank account dwindle. That being said, the best time to upgrade is
before you move in! Depending on the builder, it can be more cost effective to get the upgrades you want while your house is still in the building process than it is to try to implement certain things after you have moved in.
KNOW YOUR WARRANTYDifferent builders have different warranties. Make sure you read your warranty thoroughly and know what you are entitled to. During the first year of living in your home, it will adjust and settle and as it does this, there may be structural or superficial imperfections. Know what your builder will be responsible for and how long.
And remember to finally enjoy your new home once you are in it.

The Rockwoods
THE BEST OF SURREY IN FLEETWOOD
» by SUSAN M BOYCE
Seems like there’s just no stopping The Rockwoods. Located in Surrey’s Fleetwood neighbourhood, this collection of three- and four-bedroom townhomes continues turning heads and winning hearts with its family-friendly floorplans, sophisticated finishings, and amazing value.
“The Rockwoods was Surrey’s best selling townhome development in 2014 for a reason,” says Peter Edmonds, Anthem’s director of marketing. “When people see these homes, they recognize the combination of value and quality and they make the decision to buy — it’s just that straightforward.”
INTELLIGENT DESIGNNavjot and her husband, Sukhdeep, were two of the people who said “yes” to The Rockwoods. “We were renting in the area, so I walked by almost every day,” she says. “I knew I wanted to buy a home here as soon as I saw the first phase. I love the open concept living and the kitchen… oh my gosh, the kitchen is my dream come true. Granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a window over the sink, and so much cabinet space.” She laughs. “My parents live in a huge, four-bedroom house, and they don’t have this much storage in their kitchen.”
Navjot also fell in love with the size and efficiency of the master suite. “We’ve never had room for a king-sized bed before,” she admits. “And I’ve always wanted double sinks in my ensuite. There’s even a linen closet — a huge one — as well as the walk-in closet that’s like having two regular closets.”
Having a lower-floor den, she adds, was a bonus since it gives her husband a place for his home office. “And we could still use it as a guest room.”
COMMUNITY FOCUSThen there’s The Rockwoods’ 4,500-square-foot clubhouse. “It’s amazing how much this amenity gets used,” Peter says. Here’s just a hint: a Halloween pumpkin-carving contest for the kids, community barbeque/potlucks on the spacious outdoor lounging deck, birthday parties, and sports nights. Plus, on any given day, you’ll find fitness enthusiasts working out in the state-of-the-art gym — a sunny, open space with floor-to-ceiling glass on three sides.
“The Rockwoods is such a friendly, outgoing place to live,” Navjot says. “And with the elementary school just a block away, it will be perfect for when our daughter is a little older. We’re definitely planning to be here for a long time.”
The Rockwoods’ presentation centre and display homes are open noon to 5 p.m. daily except Fridays at 1 – 8473 – 163rd St. in Surrey’s Fleetwood neighbourhood. Prices for these two-plus-den, three- and four-bedroom townhomes start at $299,900, with a limited-time $5,000 bonus now available. For more information visit rockwoodsliving.com or call 604.503.1188.

IMEE AND CARL AT SERENITY
Putting Down Roots
Imee and Carl had a very specific vision of what their second home would be: a minimum of three bedrooms, a side-by-side garage, a location in either Langley or Surrey, and it had to be brand new. They thought it would be easy to find, but when their Coquitlam apartment sold in record time the clock was suddenly ticking down rapidly.
“There simply wasn’t a lot that fit our parameters,” Imee says. “Then the Serenity website popped up during a search and it piqued my curiosity.” As soon as she stepped inside the display home, Imee knew — it was the couple’s wish list fulfilled.
SPACE AND STYLESerenity’s layout struck an immediate chord. “It’s wide, so it feels just like a house,” Imee says. “A lot of places we’d seen felt narrow and cramped because of where the stairs were placed. This home is all open and there’s no wasted space. Plus we really like the fact that
when you walk through the front door there’s a large, open landing space. We both have sisters who both have two kids. Here, even if everyone arrives at the same time, there’s still lots of room so you don’t feel cramped.”
Serenity’s light colour scheme was the one that appealed most to the couple’s desire for a modern aesthetic. “I wanted a light, bright kitchen,” Imee explains. “We were both born and raised in Surrey, so we have lots of extended family here. This kitchen feel comfortable and makes it easy for us when we have lots of family and friends over — which we do all the time.”
IMPECCABLE SERVICE“Exceptional” is the word Imee uses to describe both sales manager Serena and Pinora Homes, the developer. “I feel totally spoiled,” she say emphatically. “Tony, the builder, is wonderful — always checking up to see if anything needs doing. I’ve moved into new buildings many times with my parents, and most builders never some back after the first inspection. Here, if anything does need fixing, it’s done right away.”
A HOME FOR THE FUTUREAfter two weeks in their new home, Imee and Carl are even more delighted than when they first saw it. “This is definitely a home we won’t grow out of any time soon,” Imee says. “Plus we’re close to both our families and Carl’s work in Langley. For us it’s the perfect home in the perfect location.”
Serenity is located at 21017 – 76th Avenue in Langley. For more information visit serenityliving.ca or call 604.371.1538.
Imee and Carl celebrate their daughter’s first birthday in their new home at Serenity.

When people get out of their cars, foot traffic increases, generating more business for retailers located near transit.
The Transit Referendum:SIGN ME UP! MORE TRANSIT MAKES FOR MORE LIVABLE CITIES
Recently, my bosses, the board of directors of the Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association (GVHBA) publicly expressed their support for the proposed 0.5 per cent Metro Vancouver Congestion Improvement Tax, joining over 100 other organizations on the Better Transit and Transportation Coalition.
It wasn’t an easy decision for a number of reasons, particularly the reality that the new tax actually increases the costs of doing business for our members. Our staff and board have scrutinized the 30-year strategy and vision reflected in the plan put forth by the Mayors’ Council, and on balance, determined that the initiative is too important for the community – and our industry – to allow it to fail.
So why say ‘yes?’In short, notwithstanding some real
reservations about TransLink, everyone wins with this plan. Any urban land economist worth their salt will tell you this — worldwide, there is a tight correlation between proximity to transit and prosperity.
An effective transit system means fewer cars, needing fewer parking spots, freeing up space for a more vibrant, livable city. The benefits, in a competitive market like Metro Vancouver, get passed along to homebuyers leading to improved housing affordability and choice.
The benefits of transit are also realized by businesses – especially small businesses. When people get out of their cars, foot traffic increases, generating more business for retailers located near transit. Thriving business centres create healthy communities, not to mention easier commute times for employees!
Bottom line: A strong land use plan requires an efficient transportation plan, and the one we’re being offered, although not perfect, fits the immediate needs of our community, so this spring, I hope you’ll join me in voting “Yes!” to improved transit and transportation in Metro Vancouver!

Tired of being a wage slave? THERE ARE LOTS OF TAX ADVANTAGES TO BEING SELF-EMPLOYED
If you are looking for a way to accelerate your savings so you can achieve financial independence more quickly, consider self-employment. The safest way to start is by earning self-employed income on the side while keeping your current full-time job. But regardless of whether you are self-employed part-time or full-time, you can benefit from many tax deductible business expenses:» Home office. Calculate the portion of
your home that you use for self-employed income, then deduct that percentage of rent or mortgage payments, utilities, home insurance, property tax and home maintenance.
» Business entertainment. Deduct 50% of the cost of meals or events that involve business discussions.
» Communications. Calculate the portion of phone, cellphone and internet that are for business, then deduct that percentage of monthly bills.
» Transportation. Keep track of how much of your vehicle’s mileage relates to business, then deduct that percentage of costs for gas, maintenance, insurance, etc.
» Subscriptions. Deduct the cost of magazines and newspapers related to your business.
» Travel. Deduct business travel costs such as airfare, skytrain tickets, hotels and en route meals.
» Continuing education. Deduct the cost of courses that make you more effective in your business.
Be sure to keep all receipts. And if you are in doubt over any deduction, check with the tax office or an accountant.
The above are the most commonly known tax deductible business expense. But have you heard about cash damming? Cash damming is typically used by sole proprietors and by owners of rental properties to convert debt with non-deductible interest (such as
mortgage or personal credit card debt) to business related debt for which the interest is tax deductible.
Here is an example: Mr. Jones carries on a landscaping business and realizes $120,000
of revenues and incurs $60,000 of expenses. Mr. Jones has a home worth $280,000 with a $140,000 mortgage. Currently the mortgage interest is non-deductible. The objective is to convert non-deductible mortgage interest into deductible interest related to his business.
Also assume that lifestyle expenses and taxes are $50,000 per year and payments on the home mortgage are $10,000.
To implement a cash damming strategy Mr. Smith opens two business bank accounts and a business line of credit (or simply two home equity line of credit or a HELOC). Mr. Smith deposits all business revenues into Account #1 and takes all draws for personal expenses, including mortgage payments, from Account #1. Account #2 is used to pay all business expenses and is funded from the line of credit.
In the first year of this strategy, Mr. Jones will have an additional $60,000 of after-tax cash flow to apply against the principal on his mortgage or other debt with non-deductible interest. Applying this strategy to its fullest extent, he will have converted his non-deductible personal mortgage to business related debt in less than 3 years.
To find out more about this and other strategies and to see how you can make your mortgage tax deductible talk to a Mortgage Expert. They will work alongside a Financial Advisor to ensure it’s the best plan for you.

Calculate your mortgage payments
01 Calculate the combined monthly before-tax income
of you and your spouse.
02 Divide by three. This figure is the monthly payment you
can afford to make on your home.
03 Take the total price of the home and subtract the
amount of money you expect to make as a down payment. This is the money you will have to borrow.
04 Refer to the chart on the opposite page. Look down
the left column and locate the interest rate you expect to pay. Line this up with the amortization period of your choice. (Most first-time buyers take the 25-year amortization.)
05 Multiply this figure by the amount you need to borrow.
Divide by 1,000.
06 Add to this your estimated monthly heating costs and
monthly property taxes.
07 If this figure is equal to or less than one-third of your
gross monthly income (calculated in Step 2), you’ll qualify for a mortgage on your dream home.
CHART FIGURE MORTGAGE AMOUNT ÷ 1,000INTEREST RATE MONTHLY PAYMENT

Follow these steps to see if you’ll qualify for a mortgage on your dream home
