Understanding the Risks of Buying an Investment Property in Kelowna

Every investment carries risk, and real estate is no exception. In Kelowna, higher purchase prices can limit cash flow, particularly if interest rates rise or rents soften. Regulatory changes — including rental restrictions or tax adjustments — can also affect returns.

Maintenance costs, insurance premiums, and unexpected repairs should be built into any financial plan. Foreign buyers may face additional tax considerations, while economic slowdowns can reduce buyer or tenant demand.

Risk doesn’t mean avoidance — it means preparation. Investors who account for downside scenarios tend to weather market shifts more effectively.

Early risk assessment is often where experienced advice proves most valuable. Anthony Shephard from 2% Realty helps investors evaluate both opportunity and exposure, while keeping transaction costs lower through a 2% commission structure.
