Okanagan (Canada) Single-Family Real Estate Investing

[Dillon Smith]

I'm looking to buy my first rental property, ideally single family with a separate basement unit. I'm currently focusing on the Okanagan region, although I'm also open to places in Ontario (currently living in Toronto, but unfamiliar with anything outside of the GTA).

Any insights towards the pros and cons of different cities in the Okanagan (especially Kelowna and Kamloops) as well as Okanagan as a whole vs. more affordable places outside of the GTA in Ontario. Currently I'm most interested in Kamloops, does anyone have any data sources for employment, vacancy etc.?

Does anyone know of any good real estate agents in Kamloops and Kelowna, will be making a trip back and would like to get in touch with a real estate agent to look at places in each city (COVID allowing).

Thank you.

Hi Dillon! I am a realtor here in the Okanagan and would be happy to chat more about your first rental property. I have helped clients purchase various investment properties between West Kelowna and the Vernon area and they have had great returns. I also own a number of rental properties in the valley so I am very knowledgeable about vacancy rates, rental rates, areas, etc. Feel free to message me anytime if you have any questions or would just like to chat about the opportunities in the Okanagan. All the best, Saskia Dover RE/MAX Kelowna
