A $599K Hamilton Investment Property on Cannon Street

The right Hamilton investment property still cash flows in 2026, and the east end is where I keep finding it. A property in the high five hundreds, bought right and tenanted properly, is the kind of file where the math holds up even with today's higher rates.

Great experience! Jason was a tremendous help from the beginning when we were looking for a house, all through the purchase and closing of our new home.

Mike was amazing! We felt comfortable from the moment we met him. He was able to sell our condo in 1 week!! In this market, that is nothing short of a miracle. He spent countless hours taking us on showings until we found the perfect place for our family. We finally have space to grow and a backyard...thank you!!!

Working with Branden was an amazing experience, especially as this was my first home. He has great knowledge about first time home buyer programs, and connected me with excellent professionals to create a seamless experience from viewing to close. I would absolutely work with Branden again in the future.

I don’t think there is anything harder than trying to keep 4 adults happy with one house. Regina did it with ease. She was always friendly, patient and kind. She had faith we would find a house to make us all happy, even when I didn’t. If you need a realtor that goes the extra mile, is always there when you call, I highly recommend Regina. Thanks so much Regina for making a stressful time easier.

I do not usually write reviews..however the service provided and the level of genuine concern and care expressed by Branden Nauss deserves to be acknowledged. Branden took time and effort beyond what is required by am agent with our recent purchase. Talked us off the proverbial ledge a few times..dealt with difficult issues (caused by extenuating circumstances surround the property) in a very professional manner. I have known him in a professional capacity for a few years now...but due to his nature and outlook I now consider him a friend!

Branden Nauss helped me hunt for the perfect home for me and went above and beyond in many ways, probably the most important was he kept me on track with my goals and original vision. Plus, we had some great conversations! A great guy who did an amazing job and was a lot of fun to hang out with. His integrity and patience was what held the whole long process together.

We had an amazing experience with Branden Nauss. He helped our family of five find the perfect home when we moved from Toronto to the Niagara area. Later, when we were looking for another home in a different area of Niagara, he was there to help us again. Branden is accommodating, kind, knowledgeable, and professional. Whenever someone asks me for a realtor, I always recommend him without hesitation. He truly goes above and beyond for his clients and is amazing at what he does!
