Investor snapshot
Mid-Meadows rental yields & investor angle
Rough gross yield ranges based on typical CMHC market rents in the Maple Ridge CMA and the lower end of Mid-Meadows 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) | $1.4M – $1.8M | $3,800-5,500/mo | 3.26% – 4.71% |
| Townhouse | $780K – $980K | $3,200-4,200/mo | 4.92% – 6.46% |
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.
