Rental Potential in

North Surrey

Condos for sale in the core of North Surrey, near the Simon Fraser University Surrey Campus, are a sure bet for rental investments. Today the Taylor Team has sold many of these units to individuals from all over the world who are purchasing these North Surrey condos purely for rental investment purchases. Being that these condos start in the $400,000 price point approximately, the rent literally will pay your mortgage if you need one. Being that all the condos are located within walking distance to the Skytrain, many students without personal transportation love to rent out the condos for the duration of their higher learning, and in some cases we have seen that the graduates stay in these condos as they are quite nice and extremely convenient for the working professional who has to commute into downtown Vancouver.

Before you take the first step in acquiring a real estate investment it is best that you understand the most common costs associated with acquiring and maintaining a rental property.

  • Property Transfer Tax – This is a provincial tax on the transfer of ownership between the seller and buyer. In general, it is 1% – 3% of the fair market value.
  • Lawyer Fees – These fees vary depending on the firm’s rates and whether you will be financing or paying cash for the property. That being said, in general, the cost is approximately $1,000 – $2,000.
  • Property Taxes – All real estate in BC is impacted by property taxes in one way of another. In North Surrey, you can expect to pay around 0.334% of the BC assessment value each year.
  • Strata Fees – If you’re purchasing a property that has a strata corporation, then you can expect to pay a monthly fee to the strata. Most, if not all, apartments, townhomes, and condos have a monthly strata fee. This can range from $200 – $500+ per month.
  • Repairs & Maintenance – Most savvy investors budget 1 – 2 % of the fair market value of the property for repairs and maintenance.
  • Property Management – Who will manage the screening of tenants? What about collect the rents and abide by the BC Tenants Act? Property management companies can manage all of the day-to-day operations for anywhere from a 6 – 10% commission.

North Surrey is a big rental market. There are plenty of savvy investors that understand how lucrative the North Surrey rental market is and they continually invest in new condo projects, townhomes, and detached homes.

Vacancy rates in North Surrey are almost non-existent with the average being between 1-1.5% vacancy at any given time.

As we all know, each neighbourhood and property type will be able to demand rental rates at different rates. So it’s best to speak with a local real estate agent who understands your property and the market demand.
