IS A SUITED PROPERTY FOR YOU?

PROS:

  • Makes your house more affordable because a tenant is paying down part of your mortgage.
  • Allows for passive income. Legal suites add value to your property.
  • Legal Suites attract tenants everywhere.
  • You don’t have to purchase another property to have an income property.
  • Legal suites are already recognized and zoned by the City of Lethbridge.
  • If you plan on living in one of the legal suites you can purchase with 5% downpayment.
  • Legal Suites lower your debt service ratio when applying for a mortgage for this type of property.

CONS:

  • Secondary suite won’t bring in as much rent as some other types of properties.
  • You may be sharing your home with other people depending on how the suite is set up.
  • Unless there’s a secondary suite already existing prior to December 31, 2006, putting one into your home may require a significant renovation and a zoning change with the City of Lethbridge.
  • Your home insurance may go up due to any changes in the property value.
