This one is a standout.Fully renovated from the inside out, this deal is essentially a “restomod” building: the original structure remains, but the internals have been completely rebuilt with modern systems and full documentation to support it.

We share real investor experiences, explain why commercial tenants can outperform residential in today’s market, and walk through deal structures like rental guarantees to reduce risk and keep timelines tight.If you’re looking for a turnkey, high-quality asset with strong fundamentals, this is one you’ll want to understand.Sign up to the REI Hot Seat Insider: https://www.jotform.com/form/241655418022249REI Hot Seat Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/reihotseat/David Hulshof Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/davehulshof.realestate/Jacob Campagnaro Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jacob_campagnaro/EP 153 – 8-Unit Mixed-Use Deal Breakdown | Fully Renovated, CMHC Ready00:00 Intro + New Listing Overview01:00 Belleville Market + Property Breakdown03:00 Full Renovation + Data Room Deep Dive06:00 Submetering + Efficiency Upgrades10:30 Layout + CMHC Eligibility11:30 Rent Roll + Lease-Up Strategy13:20 Mixed-Use Investing Insights15:00 Commercial Tenant + Lease Structure18:20 Financials + CMHC Financing22:30 Deal Structure + Rental Guarantees26:30 How to Access the DealDISCLAIMER: THIS EPISODE, AS WITH EVERY EPISODE OF THIS SHOW, SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED AS ADVICE.
