Run the rental side honestly before comparing. The Residential Tenancies Act sets deposits, notice periods and rent increase rules once you have a tenant, and a vacancy allowance and a furnace-and-roof reserve both belong in the monthly math, not just the rent you expect to collect.
Run the sale side against real numbers too. The benchmark price of $444,700 reflects what buyers are actually paying today, not what an online estimate guesses, and that gap matters most for a home with renovations a public record never saw.
Compare the two net numbers side by side before deciding either way. Get your hand-reviewed valuation from Joel Dyck.
