What's Inside
All 5 steps
- Name your demand engine — federal, tech, student, transit, or family — before you name a neighbourhood
- Underwrite both rents: CMHC sitting averages AND asking rents, never every unit at asking
- Sort every unit by rent-control regime — pre- or post-November 15, 2018 first occupancy
- Price the repairs into the cap rate — a 7% on paper that lands at an honest 5% is fine only if you bought it as a 5
- Put Ottawa's Vacant Unit Tax declaration on your compliance calendar the day you close
