A rare opportunity to acquire a purpose-built 4plex in the established community of Glamorgan, sitting on a 7,490 sq ft M-C1 zoned lot. The building features two upper-level 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom units and two lower-level 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom units, all four fully tenanted and generating combined gross rent of $6,500/month ($78,000/year). Every unit has its own dedicated laundry and is individually metered for electricity, water, and gas, meaning tenants handle their own utilities entirely with no landlord involvement required. All four units are also equipped with high-efficiency furnaces and newer hot water tanks, reducing near-term capital expenditure risk on a building where mechanical replacements multiply across units. The M-C1 zoning adds long-term upside with flexibility for future redevelopment, while the Glamorgan location offers convenient access to Mount Royal University, Westhills/Signal Hill retail, and major routes including Glenmore Trail and Sarcee Trail. A turnkey, low-hassle income property for investors seeking stable cash flow with minimal day-to-day management. (id:65958)
10-item due-diligence checklist. We can pre-flight most of these for you on a CMA call.
Comparable sales
Ask for 3–5 recent solds within ~1 km and the same beds/baths so the list price has context.
Property condition
Roof age, furnace age, hot-water tank age, electrical panel size, windows. Cosmetic vs structural.
Zoning
Confirm zoning matches your intent (single-family vs duplex vs secondary suite vs commercial).
Suite legality / potential
If suited or being marketed as suited: confirm permits, separate entrance, ceiling height, egress windows.
Monthly carrying cost
Mortgage + property tax + insurance + condo fee (if any) + utilities. Compare to your max budget.
Property taxes
Confirm the annual tax amount on the current assessment — and whether a reassessment is pending.
Insurance estimate
Get a same-day quote. Older homes, knob-and-tube wiring, polybutylene plumbing, flood plains all change the number.
Commute
Drive it (or transit it) at the actual time of day you'd commute. Map ETA lies during peak hours.
Deposit and financing conditions
Deposit size, financing condition window, condition removal date, possession date — all negotiable.
Inspection considerations
Budget for a home inspector ($500–700) and any specialty inspections (sewer scope, mould, asbestos for pre-1990 builds).

Monthly carrying costs (shared)
Approximation only. CMHC default insurance is included when down payment is under 20%. Property tax and condo fees come from MLS when listed and may not reflect the current billing year. Accelerated bi-weekly frequency reduces total interest paid vs. monthly — confirm with a broker. Suite rental income depends on permits, market rent, and vacancy. Always validate with a mortgage broker before writing an offer.
