Investor Alert: Turnkey Cash-Flow Monster with a 15% Cash-on-Cash Return!Smart investors know that true wealth is built on low vacancy, strong yields, and massive tenant retention, and this exceptional Eckville fourplex delivers on all three. Boasting a jaw-dropping 15% cash-on-cash return, this rock-solid building features an ideal revenue-generating mix of three massive 3-bedroom suites and one spacious 2-bedroom unit. Unlike cramped modern builds, this property offers incredible square footage and tons of "elbow room" that keeps tenants happy and staying long-term. In fact, two previous tenants loved living here so much they stayed for over 19 years, proving the ultimate stability of this asset.Situated on a massive, prime corner lot, the property offers abundant off-street and street parking, plus a detached single-car garage that provides an easy opportunity for extra monthly revenue or landlord storage. The heavy lifting has already been done for you, 8 brand-new appliances installed just this week, alongside a highly efficient boiler system and hot water tanks that have been consistently upgraded over the years.Location is everything for a stress-free rental, and Eckville boasts an incredibly tight, near-zero vacancy rate hovering around 1%. Tenants will love being within walking distance to local shopping and restaurants, while commuters enjoy effortless highway access—just a quick 20-minute drive to the booming lakeside community of Sylvan Lake, 30 minutes to Rocky Mountain House, and an easy 40 minutes into Red Deer. If you are looking for an affordable, high-yielding addition to your portfolio where the numbers actually make sense from day one, this is the pride-of-ownership building you’ve been waiting for.

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).
