Is Markham a good place to buy an investment property?Markham can suit long-term investors because of steady rental demand from families, professionals and students, and ongoing transit and development projects. Returns depend on purchase price, financing, rent and carrying costs, so every property should be tested with real numbers first.

Questions Clients Ask

What is a good cap rate for a Markham rental?

Cap rates in Markham are often modest because prices are high relative to rent. Many investors accept a lower cap rate in exchange for long-term value and steady demand. The right target depends on your goals and financing.

Are condos or townhouses better investments in Markham?

Condos usually cost less to enter but carry monthly fees and bylaw limits. Townhouses and homes with legal rental suites can offer more flexibility. Compare both on total cost and realistic rent.

Can I rent out my Markham property short term?

Short-term rentals are regulated by the City of Markham and often by condo rules. Many investors choose longer leases or furnished stays of 30 days or more. Always confirm current bylaws before you buy.
