Rental Income Potential
If you rented out the Portage.
Sample scenario for a Portage (1-bedroom) rented in Barrie, a mid-tier Ontario market. 25% down ($62,534 cash invested), standalone financing at 6% over 25 years. Rent of $1,955/mo (CMHC market + 15% new-construction premium), 5% vacancy. After-tax math using Canadian rules.
The real return on a leveraged rental is equity gain — mortgage paydown plus appreciation — not just monthly cash flow. Year 1 cash flow is typically thin (or slightly negative for higher-priced models) because rent hasn't compounded yet and interest is at its peak. By year 5 cash flow stabilizes and turns meaningfully positive.
Numbers are illustrative. Real returns depend on your specific tax situation, financing terms, lot, and market. Talk to your accountant before committing.
