Cashflow Summary
Professional marketing and pricing typically achieves higher rent than self-managed listings.
$46/mo
Annual cashflow: $553/yr
Cashflow isn't the whole story.
Most Vancouver landlords build wealth through three things working together: monthly cashflow, mortgage paydown (your tenant pays down your principal every month), and long-term appreciation. A property that breaks even on paper can still be an excellent investment once you factor in equity growth and tax advantages.
A personalized cashflow report breaks down your full return, not just the monthly cash-in, cash-out.
