From Toronto to Calgary: How to Buy Your First Alberta Multi-Family Property Without Leaving Your Day Job

You Don’t Need to Relocate, Just Rethink

You’re a serious investor. But between life, work, and skyrocketing prices in your province, expanding your portfolio has felt… impossible.

What if you could buy a cash-flowing building in Calgary or Edmonton without quitting your job, moving your family, or over-leveraging your life?

This isn’t a dream. This is Alberta.

1. 5 Reasons Alberta Beats Ontario for Investors Right Now

  • No rent control: You control your returns
  • Lower entry price: Buy more doors for less money
  • Landlord-friendly rules: Evictions are enforceable
  • Growing rental demand: Migration, jobs, and affordability
  • CMHC-insured financing: Up to 50-year amortizations with low down payments

Alberta is designed for people who want to scale portfolios without being swallowed by risk.

2. How Remote Investors Close Deals Here

Here’s what a recent BC investor did (with our help):

  • Identified a cash-flowing 6-plex in Edmonton listed at $799,000
  • Did virtual walkthroughs + got a full inspection
  • Worked with a broker to secure MLI Select financing (only 10% down)
  • Green Casa handled takeover, tenant relations, and rent optimization

They never set foot in Alberta but now collect $2,300+/mo in net income.

3. Mistakes Out-of-Province Buyers Should Avoid

  • Thinking rent control applies here (it doesn’t)
  • Using Ontario-based property lawyers (they won’t know local contracts)
  • Trying to DIY renovations remotely (never ends well)
  • Assuming all tenants are the same (Calgary renters have different expectations than Vancouverites)

Local knowledge = smoother process.

4. Your First Move: Build a Calgary-Based Team

The first thing to do? Connect with local experts:

  • A real estate agent who understands multi-family
  • A property manager who works with remote landlords
  • A mortgage broker familiar with CMHC programs

This team is your lifeline, and Green Casa is happy to help build it.
