Investor snapshot
South Surrey / Morgan Creek rental yields & investor angle
Rough gross yield ranges based on typical CMHC market rents in the Surrey CMA and the lower end of South Surrey / Morgan Creek 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) | $1.85M – $2.85M | $3,800-5,500/mo | 2.46% – 3.57% |
| Townhouse | $1.05M – $1.45M | $3,200-4,200/mo | 3.66% – 4.80% |
| Condo (1-bed) | $640K – $920K | $2,200-2,800/mo | 4.13% – 5.25% |
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.
