What this listing is

38 MELROSE AVENUE is a 2-unit duplex in Ottawa, ON, asking $1,198,000 — $599,000 per door.

That sits above the Ottawa band of $275k - $475k per door. A price above the band has to be earned by rents, condition, or upside that the listing has not yet shown. Ottawa cap rates screen 4.3% - 5.6% against average rent near $2,250 a door.

At 2 units this finances as residential, not commercial — MLI Select starts at five units. The qualifying rate still applies: federally regulated lenders test a 1–4 unit rental at the greater of your contract rate plus two points or 5.25%.

Ottawa offers durable demand, stable employment, and selected intensification upside, but prices require disciplined underwriting. Investor demand reads high, vacancy tight to balanced.
