Our Process

How multi-family financing works, step by step.

01

Confirm your unit count

5 or more residential units are classified as commercial multi-family in Ontario and underwritten on property income rather than personal income.

02

Calculate NOI and DSCR

Net Operating Income ÷ Annual Debt Service shows which lender tiers your property may qualify for. Each lender sets its own minimum.

03

Match to a program

Conventional financing caps at 75% LTV. Standard CMHC Multi-Unit allows up to 85% LTV. CMHC MLI Select can reach up to 95% LTV and 50-year amortization for qualifying properties.

04

Score for CMHC MLI Select

Properties scoring 50+ points on affordability, energy efficiency, and accessibility criteria access MLI Select's enhanced leverage, lower DSCR minimum, and longer amortization.

05

Lender match & closing

Private lenders may suit time-sensitive deals. CMHC-insured financing adds an insurance review. lendsimpl matches your property to the right lender and confirms terms in writing.

Which financing fits

Which multi-family financing is right for your property?

01

CMHC MLI

For stabilized rental properties with 5 or more units. Can offer higher loan to value and longer amortization than conventional. The CMHC premium is usually added to the loan.

02

Conventional Bank

Up to 75% loan to value and typically up to 25 years amortization. More equity is needed and the lender sets the DSCR.

03

Private And Bridge

Short-term financing for acquisitions, value-add and time-sensitive deals. Costs more, and broker and lender fees apply, disclosed in writing before you commit.

If your DSCR or credit doesn't fit institutional criteria

Options if your file is not straightforward.

Tight DSCR

Some lenders weigh the whole file, including property income, your experience and your equity. This varies by lender.

Value-Add Or Recent Purchase

A short-term private loan, stabilization, then a refinance into CMHC or conventional financing when the property qualifies.

Credit Challenges

Some lenders focus on the property and your equity first. Terms differ and approval is never guaranteed.

Not Yet Stabilized

Bridge or construction options may fit while the building fills or finishes.
