6.5% cap rate. $91,650 in annual rent from four leased units in Hamilton's popular Durand Neighbourhood. You get a legal 4-plex built, fully tenanted, producing $75,189 in net operating income. All four tenants pay their own hydro, so your utility exposure stays small and easy to predict. The expensive work is already behind you. Parapet walls and chimney have been re-built, and the water line has been upgraded to 3/4" copper. 4 car parking sits at the rear. The unit mix protects your income: one 3 bedroom, one 2 bedroom, two 1 bedrooms. Four separate tenancies means no single vacancy takes out your cash flow. Each unit has kept its own character, which is what holds good tenants in place. Walk to Locke St S, James St S, Hess Village, St. Joseph's Hospital, downtown Hamilton, transit, parks and schools. Durand is one of the tightest rental pockets in the city, on a quiet tree-lined street. Two of the four rents are under market so there's upside for the future in the numbers.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Competitive Pricing
At $383/sqft, this is priced below the area average. This could represent genuine value, but let's investigate why. In my experience, underpriced homes often have deferred maintenance, unfavourable layouts, or motivated sellers. I'll help you determine which it is.
Larger Home Realities
At 3,000 sqft, this is a substantial home. Budget approximately $400-600/month more for utilities compared to an average-sized home. Maintenance costs scale with size too - roof, HVAC, and cleaning all cost more. That said, space is a luxury that's hard to add later, and larger homes often have better resale in family-oriented neighbourhoods.
Excellent Flexibility
With 7 bedrooms, you have genuine flexibility. Beyond the master and kids' rooms, you can have a dedicated home office, guest room, hobby space, or even rental income potential. In today's work-from-home era, extra bedrooms add significant value. Properties with 5+ bedrooms are relatively rare in Hamilton.
Bathroom Count Matters
With 5 bathrooms, morning routines are much smoother. Multiple bathrooms significantly improve daily livability and are a major selling point for resale. Buyers consistently pay more for adequate bathroom counts - this is a strong feature.
About Durand
I know Durand well from working with many buyers and sellers here. Each pocket has its own character - let me share what I've learned about this specific street and block. During our showing, I'll point out local amenities, school catchments, and what similar homes have sold for recently.
Investment Perspective
Looking at this as an investment: Hamilton properties have averaged 5-7% annual appreciation over the past decade. Your estimated monthly carrying costs would be around $4,788 (mortgage, taxes, insurance). Consider whether you're comfortable with this as both a home and a financial commitment.
