If you’re considering an investment property in the Elk Valley, understanding gross vs net rental income is one of the most important numbers you’ll ever calculate. In this video, I break down exactly what separates your gross rental income (the total revenue a property brings in) from your net rental income (what’s actually left in your pocket after expenses) — and why so many buyers get this wrong.
We’ll walk through the real costs that eat into gross rental income here in Fernie, Sparwood, and Elkford: property management fees, insurance, utilities, maintenance, municipal taxes, and — for short-term rental owners — cleaning and platform fees. You’ll see a real example so you can see how quickly gross numbers can shrink once expenses are factored in.
Whether you’re eyeing a long-term rental, a mountain-town Airbnb, or your first investment property in the Kootenays, this video will help you evaluate cash flow like a pro before you make an offer.
If you’re relocating from Alberta or anywhere else and want a property that actually cash flows, let’s talk. I know this market inside and out, and I can help you run the real numbers on any listing you’re considering.
