Multi-family properties consist of two or more residential units within the same building, including duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes, and apartment complexes. These properties generate rental income, appreciate in value over time, and provide an efficient way to scale a real estate portfolio.
Why Invest in Multi-Family Real Estate?
Consistent Rental Income: Owning multiple units ensures multiple revenue streams.
Enhanced Financing Options: Programs like MLI Select offer favorable loan terms for multi-family acquisitions.
Portfolio Expansion: Managing one property with multiple units is more efficient than handling multiple single-family rentals.
Tax Savings: Investors benefit from depreciation write-offs and deductible expenses.
The Most Strategic Way to Build Wealth Through Real Estate
Imagine acquiring a high-income property with minimal upfront investment—putting down as little as 5% and spreading payments over 50 years. The MLI Select Program makes this achievable, though eligibility requirements apply. If you’re looking to maximize returns through multi-family real estate, we’ll help navigate the entire process.

A multi-family home is a property with two or more rental units. Common types include duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes, and apartment buildings with multiple units.
A single-family home is designed for one household, whereas a multi-family home consists of multiple units that can be rented out to different tenants, creating multiple income streams.
Yes! Multi-family properties provide consistent rental income, better financing options, scalability, and long-term appreciation, making them one of the best strategies for building wealth in real estate.
Yes, but only under the MLI Select Program offered by CMHC. This program allows investors to purchase multi-family homes with 5% down and a 50-year amortization, provided the property meets eligibility criteria. Contact us, for more information on the MLI Select Program.
The MLI Select Program provides longer amortization, lower down payments, and better financing terms for properties that meet CMHC’s scoring system based on affordability, environmental impact, and accessibility.
We conduct a pro forma financial analysis, factoring in cash flow, cap rates, appreciation potential, and expense ratios to ensure you make a profitable investment.
No. You can invest remotely with our full-service support, but CMHC favors investors who live within a commutable distance of their investment. If you’re from out of province, we can help you partner with a local investor to meet CMHC’s requirements.
Rental income is based on market rent, unit type, location, and demand. We provide detailed rental market analysis to help investors project cash flow.
Yes. Investors can depreciate the property, deduct expenses (mortgage interest, repairs, property management), and use capital gains strategies to reduce taxes.
Each city has zoning regulations that dictate how many units can be built, parking requirements, and tenant rules. Our team ensures your investment aligns with local zoning laws.
