On January 1, 2018 Canada’s banking regulator, the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions (OSFI) introduced significant changes to the qualifying rate for uninsured mortgages.

TriUrban’s team of professional investors spent a lot of time analyzing exactly what these changes meant to investors. We came to the conclusion that despite any negative impacts on affordability, anyone interested in investing is still in the right position to achieve a maximum ROI on their 2018 investment property.

A popular saying around this time of year is: “New Year; New Me.” It refers to making a new years resolution to change old habits or behaviours that are holding you back from being successful in the new year.
