In the long term scheme of things, in the past, swings associated with specula- tion. These funds are on aver- age one third as volatile as Canadian common stock funds. Since real estate has tradition- ally matched or outperformed the TSE 300, we can expect the long term trend to continue. In the short term the excess capac- ity will have to be discounted and absorbed in prices. Even so, during the time autre for the digestion of the glut the real estate funds offer more than this inflation protection. Through interest earned on cash waiting to be invested an interest income stream is gen- erated for the investor. Some real estate funds will invest in real estate stock bearing divi- dends as a second cash stream to investors. This one has the dividend tax credit attached. The third income stream from real estate funds is derived from the rent on properties owned. This income stream is sheltered from taxes through the capital cost allowance mechanism. As long as the investor keeps the shares this tax deferred income can be However, this recession seems to be different. The recovery to date i lethargic. Unemployment remains high. Real structural change appears to be happening. So, what will happen to real estate? The once mighty Olympia and York Developments and a num- ber of lesser real estate investors are suffering a cash crunch. Many have had to liqui- date assets in a market awash in excess development just to raise cash to stay solvent. These "fire sales" have eroded prices, and save for a few isolat- ed markets like Vancouver, real estate markets have experi- enced a broad decline. Unlike individual pieces of property, real estate mutual funds have protected investors from excessive volatility by diversification. Some have added a policy of income based investing thereby avoiding the spent or reinvested at a very attractive tax rate. Once the shares are sold the appropriate amount of the capital cost allowance is recaptured for tax purposes. Most people are reluctant to buy-in when the markets are depressed. Some will feel safer with their money invested in treasury bills, mortgages, and bonds. However, the real estate boom of the late 1980's started in the recession of 1991 and 1992 when prices were depressed much like today. The position in the cycle is near right. If the future unfolds as the past, real estate will once again prove its worth. The deci- sion to invest here like all other investments depends on the investors personal investment One Tnbicchane has ¢teduans 3 vanes 2 3-bedroom semi with family with woodstove and wet bar, huge eat- RMACS2-55 iui garage.
