Apartment buildings, 5 to 100+ units — acquisition, CMHC financing, and off-market sourcing.
Buying a 6, 12, or 40-unit building is nothing like buying a condo. The numbers decide: normalized income, true expenses, optimal financing, tenancy risk. Jeremy Soares — OACIQ-licensed residential & commercial real estate broker (H2731) — guides investors from sourcing to closing, with AI-powered underwriting tools and a data-driven network of off-market owners.

What is a good cap rate for a multifamily building in Montreal in 2026?
Stabilized multifamily buildings (5+ units) in Montreal typically trade at a 4–5.5% cap rate in 2026. Well-located plexes in central neighbourhoods trade lower (3–4.5%), while buildings with under-market rents or deferred maintenance can offer higher going-in yields with value-add upside.
How much down payment do I need to buy an apartment building in Montreal?
With CMHC MLI Select financing, qualified buyers can finance up to 95% of a 5+ unit building — meaning as little as 5% down — with amortizations up to 50 years, if the project scores enough points on affordability, energy efficiency, or accessibility. Conventional financing typically requires 25–35% down.
How do I find off-market apartment buildings in Montreal?
Most large buildings change hands without ever being publicly listed. Jeremy Soares maintains a proprietary database of Montreal revenue properties and contacts owners directly on behalf of qualified buyers — a data-driven sourcing pipeline that surfaces sellers before their building reaches Centris.
