Retirement Portfolio Net Worth – As of Sept 4 - 2017

The goal is a retirement portfolio net worth of $1,000,000 and an annual passive income of $40,000. We are currently mortgage free but won’t be including the value of our principal residence or cottage as we have no plans to sell either. We have also omitted the value of our workplace defined benefit pension plans and RESPs.

ASSETS:
Aug Contributions: $0
Retirement Portfolio: $456,642 (down $3,845 - stock market and currency losses)
Rental Property: $105,000 (up $25,000 estimate of post renovation selling price)

Total Retirement Assets: $561,642 (up $21,155)

LIABILITIES:
Investment Loan: $35,525 (down $1,288)
Rental Property Loan: $78,118 (down $508)
Total Liabilities: $113,643 (down $1,796)

Retirement Portfolio Net Worth: $447,999 (up $22,951)

Dividends Received (year to date): $8,812 (up $618)

We didn’t make any new contributions this month and our investment portfolio was down around 0.8%. A large portion of this decline was due to exchange rates.

I’ve finally finished the renovations on the rental and have received my first rent cheque for Sept (feels good).  I haven’t had my realtor in to assess the new market value however, I’ve been closely following house sales in that area for the last 6 months and strongly believe that the rental would be sold in the $105,000 to $125,000 range. I’ve used the lower end of this range for my retirement portfolio valuation.

Purchased Another Rental Unit

Well we’re doing it again. We’ve purchased another rental home. Our most recent purchase is a detached, 3 bedroom, single family, 2 story home in a decent area of town. Unlike our other rental this one will appeal more to families. There is a large fully fenced yard so we’ve decided we are going to allow pets (many landlords in our area do not) which should appeal to higher income earning pet lovers. The house is currently vacant and is move in ready. However, I’m going to add a half bathroom on the main level, replace some flooring in the bedrooms and do a long list of smaller aesthetic fixes ie-painting etc…I’m hoping to have all this completed by mid January however, as anyone who’s done renovations knows timelines often have to get stretched. Once the renovations are complete we’re going to try and rent the home for what we believe is the top end of what comparable rentals go for. This is a learning experience for us so we figure if after a few weeks we don’t get any bites

  The goal: 1. Retirement Equity Portfolio of $1,000,000 2. Rental Portfolio Value of $1,200,000 3. Annual Passive Income of $60,000 (rental income + dividends combined) We are currently mortgage free but won’t be including the value of our principal residence or cottage as we have no plans to sell either. We have also omitted the value of our workplace defined benefit pension plans and children’s RESP. COMMENTARY: What a difference a couple months made.  Our retirement portfolio increased by a whooping $ 63,917. The large jump was caused by a combination of stock market appreciation, aggressive debt reduction and an $8K contribution to our equity portfolio. ASSETS. Oct + Nov Contributions: $8,850 Retirement Equity Portfolio: $735,870 (UP $45,166) Rental Property #1: $150,000 (estimated selling price) Rental Property #2: $350,000 (estimated selling price) Rental Property #3: $350,000 (estimated selling price) Rental Property #4: $275,000 (estimated selling price) Total Retirement Asset
