Insured multi-residential financing priced off CMHC point-scored criteria. Capitalor does not publish a lender rate for cmhc mli select in Gatineau. The scenario on this page starts from the GoC 5-year benchmark of 3.60% observed on 2026-10-07 plus an illustrative 90 bps spread, giving a 4.50% scenario rate. Replace it with a real quote as soon as you have one.
