Thorold
Investment Strategy.

Strategically located between St. Catharines and Niagara Falls, Thorold is the epicenter of student housing and regional growth.

2025 Outlook

Thorold
Contractor Intelligence

Thorold is the most regulated rental market in Niagara. Compliance is not optional—it's the key to your ROI.

RRL Compliance

The Residential Rental License (RRL) in Thorold requires rigorous fire inspections. I help investors pre-audit properties to ensure they pass without costly re-work.

Secondary Suites

With Brock University nearby, the "stacked" rental strategy (Upper/Lower units) is king. I focus on properties with high ceiling heights and proper lot coverage.
