A good investment property depends on your goals, but common factors include location, rental demand, price point, carrying costs, building condition, strata rules, and long-term resale potential. The right property is not always the cheapest or the one with the highest advertised rent — it is the one that fits your strategy and risk tolerance.

No. Short-term rental rules can vary based on local regulations, strata bylaws, zoning, and building-specific restrictions. Buyers should confirm these details carefully before relying on a short-term rental strategy.

Rental potential should be reviewed through local rental demand, comparable rents, strata or zoning restrictions, carrying costs, vacancy risk, and tenant profile. I help buyers look beyond asking price so they can assess whether a property makes sense as a long-term investment.

Before buying an investment property, it is important to review the location, property condition, building or strata documents, ownership costs, financing terms, rental restrictions, and long-term exit strategy. A property may look attractive at first glance but still carry risks that affect the investment.

The right property type depends on budget, financing, management tolerance, cash flow goals, and long-term plans. Condos may offer a lower entry point, while townhomes or multi-family properties can provide different rental and appreciation potential. The key is matching the property type to your investment strategy.
