Investor snapshot
Eagle Ridge rental yields & investor angle
Rough gross yield ranges based on typical CMHC market rents in the Coquitlam CMA and the lower end of Eagle Ridge purchase prices. Real numbers shift with strata fees, vacancy, financing, and property tax — I run a full pro-forma before we make any offer.
| Property type | Purchase (low) | Typical rent | Gross yield range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Detached (rented as SFH) | $1.55M – $2.05M | $3,800-5,500/mo | 2.94% – 4.26% |
| Townhouse | $880K – $1.1M | $3,200-4,200/mo | 4.36% – 5.73% |
Gross yield = annual rent ÷ purchase price. Net yields after strata, taxes, vacancy, repairs, and financing typically run 1.5-2.5 percentage points lower. I model the BC tax stack (Speculation Tax, Empty Homes Tax, Property Transfer Tax, capital gains, and the new BC Home Flipping Tax) for every investor file.
