Documentation is where most of the value gets left on the table. A clear rent roll, lease terms compliant with the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006, and proof that any secondary suite or additional unit is legally permitted all let a buyer underwrite the property with confidence rather than discount it for uncertainty.
Condition matters differently for an income property than a family home. A buyer's inspector will focus on major systems, since deferred maintenance on a roof or furnace across multiple units compounds fast, and a pre-listing home inspection at $400 to $600 can surface those issues before they become a renegotiation.
The properties that sell for the strongest price are the ones where an investor can see exactly what they are buying on paper, not just in person. Get your hand-reviewed valuation from Joel Dyck.
