💸 Rental Yields & Strategies
The most popular strategy remains owner-occupier: live in one unit and rent the others.
Duplex example ($710,000, 10% down payment):
🏠 Mortgage: ~$3,200/mo (taxes and insurance included)
💰 2nd unit rent: ~$1,600–1,900/mo
✅ Net cost for owner: ~$1,300–1,600/mo
⚠️ Watch for regulated rents: in Quebec, rent increases are governed by the TAL (Tribunal administratif du logement). With existing plexes, current tenant rents may be below market. Review all leases before buying.
