Conventional apartment debt for owners outside insured programs. Capitalor does not publish a lender rate for multi-residential financing in Halifax. The scenario on this page starts from the GoC 5-year benchmark of 3.60% observed on 2026-10-07 plus an illustrative 160 bps spread, giving a 5.20% scenario rate. Replace it with a real quote as soon as you have one.
On a hypothetical $5,000,000 property at a hypothetical 6.0% cap rate ($300,000 NOI), a 75% advance is $3,750,000 and costs $247,100 a year at 5.20% over 30 years — 1.21x coverage. The 1.20x floor caps the loan at $3,794,012, so leverage binds first in this scenario.
Coverage falls to the 1.20x floor at about 5.30% — 0.10% of headroom above the 5.20% scenario rate.
