There are many benefits second suites offer homeowners; here are some of the best:
Makes your house mortgage more affordable. Depending on your mortgage payments and your rental rates, you could cover from 30 to 50% of your mortgage payments.
If you are retired, and your mortgage has been paid off, it could become a source of steady income.
Building a basement apartment in your home adds value to your property. Many real estate agents believe that a finished basement brings the best per square foot value of any remodelling project.
A home with a secondary suite helps first-time buyers to be able to afford to buy a home, or afford a home that they could not afford otherwise.
Many homeowners find good value in secondary suites because immediate family can live on them while keeping their privacy.
By having other people living in your home, especially for seniors and single parents, you increase your home’s security level. Additionally, if you and your family are out of town, your tenants can watch your house while you’re gone.
You may be able to depreciate a portion of your home reducing the taxes you owe.
We just had our third child. With a growing family we desperately needed a place for the children to play. Since our basement was unfinished we decide to convert it in to a play area for the kids. Lucas Richard Design did a great job on our basement. We love it and so do our kids.

Homes with a second suite are popular in King City due to their income potential. However, building a legal basement apartment isn’t as simple as finishing your basement for an older child or family to live in. However, just because your house already has a basement apartment, it doesn’t mean that you can go ahead and rent it. A finished basement is not a legal apartment.
A legal basement apartment is the one that complies with zoning by-laws, building codes, electrical codes, fire codes and any other municipality requirements. Not all areas permit legal basement apartments, so make sure to check with your city before you go start building one.
