Multi-Residential Financing in Winnipeg, MB

multi-residential financing in Winnipeg prices off the Government of Canada 5-year benchmark bond yield plus a 160 bps multi-residential financing spread, landing at 4.75% indicative. Conventional apartment debt for owners outside insured programs.

Leverage binds before coverage here. The wide 6.4% cap rate produces roughly $230,400 of NOI, enough for $3,067,206 at a 1.20x floor — about $367,206 above what the 75% LTV cap will advance. The deal is sized by value, so the appraisal, not the rent roll, is the document to get right first.

Stress the file before a lender does. Holding the $2,700,000 loan constant, coverage falls to the 1.20x floor at roughly 5.89% — 1.14% of headroom above today's indicative rate. That headroom, not the headline rate, is what determines whether this Winnipeg deal survives renewal.
