What is CMHC-Insured Financing for Multi-family Properties?

Unlock the benefits of CMHC-insured mortgages, including lower interest rates, extended amortization periods, and reduced equity requirements.

 

The CMHC MLI Select program is a game-changer for multi-family investors, developers, and builders looking to maximize loan amounts, secure lower interest rates, and qualify for longer amortization terms by prioritizing affordability, energy efficiency, and accessibility.
