Investment Score

A relative analytical score for investment characteristics — not a return forecast.

The MARA Investment Score is a relative analytical score designed to help compare properties on investment-related characteristics. It is not a prediction of profit or return, and it is not investment advice.

Factors that influence it

  • Asking price relative to the property characteristics MARA was given
  • Estimated renovation requirement and estimated immediate repairs
  • Estimated resale value and the resulting potential equity
  • Carrying costs on record: municipal taxes, school taxes and condo fees
  • Estimated closing costs, including Quebec welcome tax (droit de mutation) and notary fees
  • Property characteristics: type, size, age, borough
  • In a comparison, the weights you selected

Not included

MARA does not model financing terms, interest rates, rental vacancy data, or your personal tax situation. No rent roll, cap-rate feed or historical price series is used.
