What makes an existing apartment property worth a closer look?

At Lankin Investments, we look beyond the acquisition itself. Our vertically integrated approach brings together investment, asset and property management, allowing our team to oversee acquisitions, identify opportunities for capital improvements, manage renovations and support ongoing property operations.

Our objective is to enhance operational efficiency, improve resident experience and pursue long-term value creation through disciplined asset management.
This approach is particularly relevant as investor interest in established rental properties continues to evolve.

According to RE/MAX Canada's Fall 2026 Commercial Real Estate Report:
- 58.3% of surveyed markets showed positive multi-family momentum based on absorption and availability trends.
- Over 240% growth in Greater Toronto Area multi-family investment volume was reported in H1 2026 compared with H1 2025.
- Established rental properties attracted investor interest, including properties with existing income and potential for improvements.

While market conditions vary across Canada, the findings offer perspective on how investors are evaluating existing multi-family assets.

For investors, understanding the property is only part of the equation. The strategy and team managing it matter too.

Property fundamentals, capital requirements, financing conditions and ex*****on risks remain important considerations when evaluating private real estate investments.

Where is real estate investment picking up across Canada?

REMAX Canada's Fall 2026 Commercial Real Estate Report surveyed brokers and agents in 12 major Canadian markets, comparing the first half of 2026 with the same period in 2025. Industrial conditions improved in 11 of 12 markets, retail in 10 and multi-family in 7.

The Greater Toronto Area stood out. Commercial investment reached nearly $10.2 billion in the first half of 2026, up 41% year over year, according to Altus Group data cited in the report. GTA multi-family investment rose more than 240% as investors targeted established rental properties.

Conditions were not uniform. The report notes that new supply increased choice and softened rents in markets including Kelowna, London and Ottawa.

For investors and advisors, investment volumes show where capital is moving, while local rental conditions help explain what that capital is buying into. Both are part of understanding a market.

More investment information doesn't always mean better investment decisions.

From financial creators to AI-powered tools, Canadian investors are increasingly turning to digital sources to research investment opportunities and build financial knowledge.

But where do financial advisors fit into this evolving landscape? A new survey of 834 Canadian DIY investors, commissioned by Global X Investments Canada and National Bank Direct Brokerage, reveals:

✅ 84% watch financial creators, use AI for investing, or both.
✅ 83% of finfluencer viewers reported taking at least one action after engaging with creator content.
✅ 46% manage some investments independently while also working with a financial advisor.
✅ 84% of finfluencer viewers who work with an advisor said creator content had changed that relationship, often by prompting better questions or seeking confirmation of ideas.
✅ 96% of hybrid investors said they would pause or reconsider an investment idea discovered through a creator or AI if their advisor recommended against it.

The takeaway? Independent research and professional guidance don't have to compete.

While digital tools may help investors discover opportunities and expand their financial knowledge, advisors can provide additional perspective by helping evaluate assumptions, understand potential risks and assess how investment decisions align with broader financial objectives.

As access to investment information continues to evolve, the ability to interpret and evaluate that information remains an important part of informed decision-making.

Canada's housing market hasn't become easy for buyers. But in many regions, it is becoming more deliberate.

RE/MAX Canada's Fall 2026 Housing Market Outlook found that 65% of Canadians surveyed would make at least one compromise to find a suitable home, such as reconsidering location or the type or condition of the property. Affordability remained the top consideration, cited by 60% of respondents.

At the same time, 32% of the markets RE/MAX analyzed are expected to be in buyers' territory this fall, up from about 15% a year earlier.

More choice doesn't necessarily mean more affordability. When households weigh longer commutes, smaller homes or longer amortizations to buy, some may decide that renting better fits their needs, while others move forward with ownership. Those choices can vary widely by market.

For investors and advisors, how households make these trade-offs offers useful context on demand across both the ownership and rental markets.

Canada's economy was flat in July. Beneath the headline, the picture was more mixed.

Real GDP was essentially unchanged in July, according to Statistics Canada. Construction rose 1.3%, its fourth consecutive monthly gain, and utilities increased 1.7%, while manufacturing declined 0.9%.

Statistics Canada's advance estimate points to growth of about 0.2% in August, which will be revised when the full data is released. August figures will also begin to reflect new U.S. tariffs applied to a range of Canadian goods as of August 22.

For investors and advisors, sector-level detail can provide more context than a single headline number. Economic conditions can vary considerably by industry and region, and may influence employment, household formation and demand across different real estate markets.

The discussion addressed key considerations shaping investment decisions, including liquidity, risk, investment structures, and time horizons. It also provided a forum for exchanging perspectives and exploring the considerations that inform real estate allocation within institutional portfolios.

We thank everyone who joined us and contributed to a thoughtful and substantive discussion. We value these opportunities to engage directly with our partners, exchange insights, and strengthen the relationships that underpin our long-term partnerships.
