cmhc mli select in Grande Prairie prices off the Government of Canada 5-year benchmark bond yield plus a 90 bps cmhc mli select spread, landing at 4.05% indicative. Insured multi-residential financing priced off CMHC point-scored criteria.

Leverage binds before coverage here. The wide 7.6% cap rate produces roughly $121,600 of NOI, enough for $2,187,874 at a 1.10x floor — about $827,874 above what the 85% LTV cap will advance. The deal is sized by value, so the appraisal, not the rent roll, is the document to get right first.

Grande Prairie scores 100 on the Capitalor Lender Density Score — a deep market, with 6 tracked lenders and brokers against 1,700 commercial buildings. Expect competitive tension on well-covenanted paper: quote at least three lenders before accepting a spread.

Stress the file before a lender does. Holding the $1,360,000 loan constant, coverage falls to the 1.10x floor at roughly 7.76% — 3.71% of headroom above today's indicative rate. That headroom, not the headline rate, is what determines whether this Grande Prairie deal survives renewal.

ActQuestions

What rate should I expect on cmhc mli select in Grande Prairie?

4.05% indicative — the Government of Canada 5-year benchmark bond yield plus a 90 bps cmhc mli select spread. Individual quotes move with covenant strength, asset quality, and sponsor track record, and Grande Prairie's deep lender market widens or narrows that dispersion.

How large a loan does a typical Grande Prairie deal support?

On the $1,600,000 average transaction, a 85% advance is $1,360,000. Coverage separately caps the loan at $2,187,874 using $121,600 of NOI against a 1.10x floor, so the binding number is $1,360,000.

Does coverage or leverage bind first on this product in Grande Prairie?

Leverage. NOI supports about $2,187,874, more than the 85% LTV cap will advance, so proceeds are set by the appraisal rather than the rent roll.

Why is the coverage floor only 1.10x?

Insurance or structural credit support lets cmhc mli select clear at a lower coverage floor than conventional term debt. It buys proceeds, not safety: at 4.05% the deal still breaks coverage near 7.76%.

What is the annual debt service at that loan amount?

$68,716 per year — $5,726 monthly on a 40-year amortization at 4.05%, against a 10-year term.

Why is the amortization 40 years?

CMHC MLI Select carries an extended amortization, which lowers annual debt service to $68,716 and lifts coverage to 1.77x at a 85% advance. The trade is a slower principal burn-down and a larger balance at the 10-year renewal.

How much rate headroom is there before the deal breaks coverage?

Roughly 3.71%. Holding the loan and NOI constant, coverage reaches the 1.10x floor at about 7.76% — the number that matters at renewal.
