How it is calculated

  1. The purchase loan is the price minus your down payment. Renovation and closing costs are paid in cash (no construction loan).
  2. Mortgage payments use the Canadian convention: fixed rate compounded semi-annually, paid monthly.
  3. Net operating income (NOI) = (total monthly rent − monthly operating costs) × 12. Value at completion = NOI ÷ cap rate.
  4. The refinance loan = value × LTV, at the same rate and amortization. Cash out = new loan − original loan (principal paid down during construction and refinance fees are ignored).
  5. Vacancy, taxes on income, inflation and rent growth are not modelled. Include a vacancy allowance in operating costs.
