95% financing under CMHC MLI Select is real — but it's often misunderstood.

On a $2.2M multifamily acquisition, a 5% down payment is $110K. That part is accurate. What's less discussed is that DSCR, appraisal, and underwriting can all shift the final financing amount — which is why I generally recommend buyers maintain closer to 10% of purchase price in liquid capital before moving forward.

Down payment and full transaction cost are two different numbers. Understanding both is part of what separates a smooth close from a stressful one.

If you're evaluating an MLI Select opportunity, message me the purchase price and I'll provide an estimated capital requirement breakdown.

A closer look at the underwriting behind one of this month's featured multifamily opportunities in Edmonton — including a GST structure that could return most of the required deposit after closing.*

38 new-construction units in Garneau, independently appraised $375K above the purchase price, with rental assumptions benchmarked against eight comparable properties near the University of Alberta.

Swipe through for the full breakdown. Message "GARNEAU" for the complete investment package.

An $8.45M multifamily acquisition structured so that, for an eligible GST-registered buyer, most of the required deposit could potentially come back after closing.

38 new-construction units in Garneau, walking distance to the University of Alberta, University Hospital and the LRT — independently appraised at $8.825M against an $8.45M purchase price, roughly $375K below appraised value before lease-up.

This one isn't for every investor — liquidity and net worth requirements apply. If you'd like the pro forma, appraisal excerpts and financing structure, message me "GARNEAU."

When I review a multifamily investment, I usually begin with the neighbourhood.

Buildings can be improved, replaced, or repositioned.

The location cannot.

That is why this Riverdale 9-plex caught my attention.

Riverdale is a mature, land-constrained central Edmonton neighbourhood with access to Downtown, the River Valley trail network, parks, cycling paths, Riverdale School, and established community amenities.

That scarcity matters because new multifamily development in premium central neighbourhoods can be difficult to replicate.

The rental product also serves more than one tenant profile.

The project includes:

4 family townhomes

• 3 bedrooms
• 3.5 bathrooms
• Approximately 1,480 sq. ft.
• Private ensuite for every bedroom
• Primary suite with walk-in closet and private balcony
• 6-month rental guarantee of $2,400 per month

4 legal suites

• 1 bedroom
• 1 bathroom
• Approximately 579 sq. ft.
• Private entrances
• 6-month rental guarantee of $1,300 per month

1 executive townhome

• 4 bedrooms
• 4.5 bathrooms
• Approximately 2,059 sq. ft.
• 6-month rental guarantee of $2,700 per month

The current financial structure includes:

• $3.08M third-party appraised value
• $2.85M purchase price
• Approximately $231K difference
• $29K closing rebate
• Construction already underway
• CMHC MLI Select eligible financing with a target of up to 95% for qualifying projects and borrowers*

The project did not make my investor list simply because it is priced below the appraisal.

It made the list because the location, unit diversity, construction status, financing structure, and lease-up protection support one another.

*The appraisal does not represent a guaranteed future value. All appraisal, construction, financing, rebate, and rental-guarantee details remain subject to verification, contractual terms, lender underwriting, CMHC approval, and final closing conditions.

A new multifamily development in Riverdale is already uncommon.

That is why this 9-plex deserved a closer review.

The project recently received a third-party appraisal of $3.08M.

The purchase price is $2.85M.

That represents an approximate difference of $231K.

The appraisal comparison was meaningful, but it was not enough on its own.

The location is what strengthened the thesis.

Riverdale is:

• Minutes from Downtown Edmonton
• Surrounded by the River Valley trail network
• Close to parks, cycling paths, and outdoor recreation
• Located in a mature, land-constrained neighbourhood
• An area where new multifamily development opportunities are limited

The project also includes 3 distinct rental products:

4 family townhomes

• 3 bedrooms
• Family-sized layouts
• Designed for longer-term household demand

4 legal suites

• 1 bedroom
• Private rental spaces serving singles and couples

1 executive townhome

• 4 bedrooms
• Designed for larger households or executive tenants

That diversified unit mix may create broader leasing flexibility than a building dependent on one tenant profile.

The current project structure also includes:

• Construction already underway
• A 6-month rental guarantee
• CMHC MLI Select eligible financing
• A target of up to 95% financing for qualifying projects and borrowers
• A take-out mortgage structure
• February 2027 closing target

The project did not make my investor list solely because of the appraisal spread.

It made the list because the location, valuation, unit mix, construction progress, lease-up protection, and financing structure support one another.

*The appraisal is not a guarantee of future value or realized equity. All appraisal, construction, financing, rental-guarantee, and closing details remain subject to supporting documentation, contractual terms, lender underwriting, CMHC approval, and final project conditions.

CMHC MLI Select is not a loophole.

It is a policy tool designed to support rental housing across Canada.

For qualifying projects, the structure can improve:

• Loan-to-value
• Amortization
• Interest rate
• Monthly cash flow
• Capital efficiency

That is why the financing structure can matter just as much as the property itself.

A $10M apartment building at 75% conventional financing may require $2.5M in equity.

At 95% CMHC MLI Select financing, that equity requirement may be closer to $500K.

Same asset.

Very different capital requirement.

DM "MLI" to see a current Alberta project structured around this model.

Many investors assume larger multifamily properties automatically require dramatically more capital.

Commercial financing doesn't always work that way.

The structure behind the financing can significantly influence:

• Equity required
• Leverage
• Portfolio scalability
• Long-term growth potential

Understanding financing structure is often just as important as understanding the property itself.

For investors transitioning from single-family rentals into multifamily, more units should not be the only objective.

The quality of the rental product still matters.

This completed 8-plex in Jasper Park stood out because the design and location appear aligned with a clear tenant profile.

The project includes 4 true 2-storey upper townhomes, each with:

• 3 bedrooms
• A dedicated main-floor office
• 2.5 bathrooms
• Approximately 1,332 sq. ft.
• A 6-month rental guarantee of $2,100 per month

The project also includes 4 legal 2-bedroom lower suites of approximately 725 sq. ft., with a 6-month rental guarantee of $1,300 per month.

Every unit is separately metered.

The location reinforces the family-oriented product.

The building sits directly across from Eddy Mark Shaske Jr. Park and is within walking distance of Stratford School and James Gibbons School.

The current financial structure includes:

• $2.249M purchase price
• $112K deposit
• $30K closing rebate
• 6-month rental guarantee
• Approximately $82K estimated net cash-in after the rebate*
• Potential closing within 30–45 days*

This project did not make my investor list simply because of the estimated cash requirement.

It made the list because the product, location, financial structure, and closing timeline work together.

For investors transitioning from single-family rentals into multifamily, more units should not be the only objective.

The quality of the rental product still matters.

This completed 8-plex in Jasper Park caught my attention because the design appears aligned with a clear tenant profile: families and professionals looking for space, schools, and access to green space.

The project includes:

• 4 true 2-storey upper townhomes
• 3 bedrooms plus a dedicated main-floor office in each upper unit
• 4 spacious legal 2-bedroom lower suites
• Separate utility metering for every unit

The location reinforces that product.

The building sits directly across from Eddy Mark Shaske Jr. Park, with Stratford School and James Gibbons School both within walking distance.

From a structural perspective, the current offering includes:

• $2.249M purchase price
• Up to 95% CMHC MLI Select financing for qualifying projects and borrowers
• $30K closing rebate
• 6-month rental guarantee
• Approximately $82K estimated net cash required after the rebate*

The project is also already completed, creating the potential for a 30–45 day closing using a take-out mortgage rather than waiting through a construction period.

Strong financing can improve an opportunity.

But it becomes much more compelling when the product, location, and timeline already make sense.

Every investor starts somewhere.

For me, that was single-family rentals.

They built equity, generated rental income, and taught valuable investing lessons.

But over time I realized something important.

The issue wasn't the quality of the properties.

It was the scalability of the model.

Commercial multifamily introduced a completely different way of thinking about financing, portfolio growth, and long-term wealth creation.

Sometimes the biggest investment shift isn't buying a different property.

It's adopting a different framework.
