The CMHC MLI Select Power Multiplier (95% LTV · 50-Yr Amortization)
• $500,213 Capital Preservation: Requires only $274,907 total cash to close vs $775,120 for traditional financing. An investor preserves over half a million dollars to deploy into a second block or other income assets.
• Ultra-Low Debt Service: 50-year amortization reduces annual payments by $14,926/yr, producing the exact same monthly cash flow (~$2,237/mo) as 100% market rent conventional debt.
• Compounded Capital Velocity: Delivers a 27.5% Levered Hold IRR and a 3.09x Equity Multiple in 5 years.
Traditional Commercial Financing (80% LTV · 30-Yr Amortization)
• Zero Title Restrictions: 100% of units operate at unrestricted market rents ($2,500 / $2,300) with zero CMHC compliance or median income caps.
• Faster Principal Amortization: Pays down $262,884 in mortgage debt over 5 years (+$144.8K more than CMHC) due to the shorter 30-year amortization schedule.
• The Capital Drag: Tying up $688,000 in equity down reduces the 5-year levered return to 17.8% Hold IRR (2.18x EM).
