The benefit of incorporating a company to hold rental properties is that a corporation will provide you with liability protection. The disadvantage is that Canadian corporations pay a high rate of corporate income tax (i.e. 50%) on net rental profits. So it's a trade-off between liability protection and higher taxation.
