Benefits Of An ADU

Less Capital Intensive

 The ADU trend allows investors to take advantage of an existing garage and utilize that space to create a relatively cheaper investment opportunity with the possibility of higher returns. ADUs are cost-effective to build and maintain, requiring less money upfront for the investor and more profits in the long term.

Low Maintenance Costs

 ADUs are generally <800 square feet which means there’s less space to manage. Real estate investors can expect to save considerable money every year on repairs and maintenance, making ADUs a preferable option. Also, investors & landlords have the option to add separate services to the detached ADU to make it a fully self sustaining unit.

Attractive to All Renters

 ADUs attract a wide variety of renters including young professionals, small families, seniors, and people who want to downsize their life to a more manageable space without having to succumb to a traditional compact condo or a basement apartment. This opens up a market that investors can capitalize on significantly. They can target these renters who prefer a minimalist lifestyle yet are still willing to pay top dollar for an efficient ADU.

Sustainability

 The ADU movement is socially and politically responsible, which is becoming more and more attractive.  By creating additional units via ADUs, an investor will not only capitalize through forced equity and rental income, but they will also be contributing to the solution of the major housing crisis that Ontario is facing.

Benefits Of A Multi-Unit Residential

Affordability

 Whether you are looking to take the “house hacking” approach to generate more income & subsidize your mortgage as a homeowner or you are an investor looking to generate more equity & cash flow to combat rising interest rates in a volatile market, small scale multi units may be the answer to your question. The more units created, the healthier the balance sheet will be.

Low Maintenance Costs

 The sizes of a unit within a small scale multi unit are generally <1000 square feet which means there’s less space to manage. Real estate investors can expect to save considerable money every year on repairs and maintenance, making them a preferable option. Also, investors & landlords have the option to add separate services to make each unit a fully self sustaining unit.

Attractive to All Renters

 Small scale multi units attract a wide variety of renters including young professionals, small families, seniors, and people who want to downsize their life to a more manageable space without having to succumb to a traditional high rise compact condo or apartment. This opens up a market that investors can capitalize on significantly. They can target these renters who prefer a convenient lifestyle yet are still willing to pay top dollar.

Sustainability

 Creating additional units is a movement that is socially and politically responsible, which is becoming more and more attractive.  By creating additional units, an investor will not only capitalize through forced equity and rental income, but they will also be contributing to the solution of the major housing crisis that Ontario is facing.
