Assumptions (examples only, not quotes): 20% down, 4.29% five-year fixed, 30-year amortization, $550/month condo fee, $4,000/year property tax, $40/month insurance, 5% of rent for repairs, 4% vacancy.

| Effective rent (after vacancy) | $1,944/month |
| Operating costs | $1,025/month |

Change any number in the cash-flow calculator. The result moves a lot with the condo fee and your rate.
What makes Brampton rentals work
- Second units: a legal basement apartment in a detached or semi adds a second rent. Since 2026 it also needs a City rental licence.
- Buying below average: buying under asking (homes are selling at about 96% of list) lowers the price you have to carry.
- Long-term growth: the City plans for about 1 million residents by 2051, and Brampton built only 42% of its 2025 provincial housing target, a supply gap that supports rents.
Risks
- New purpose-built rentals, such as Primont's 298-suite tower announced in September 2026, add competition in the northwest.
- Vacancy was 4.3% in CMHC's October 2025 survey, higher than the tight markets of recent years.
