4unit rental construction and financing
Hello Everyone, I'm in the market to purchase a duplex with legal basement suites or build one myself. I'm currently working with CIBC but I'm interested if anyone has knowledge in grants/programs for purchasing new properties/building your own could help me a lot. Anything that would give a better interest rates than traditional banks, or programs you can involve yourself in, or special loans/grants for building. I'm located in Northern British Columbia. I know this is fairly vague, but i've only purchased SFD rental properties with the help of my bank before. Thanks!

Currently: - Multigenerational Home Renovation Tax Credit (MHRTC) provides up to $7,500 tax credit (https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/tax/individuals/topics/about-your-tax-return/tax-return/completing-a-tax-return/deductions-credits-expenses/multigenerational-home-renovation.html) - Currently on hold and may only be for a primary residence: Greener Home Initiative was providing up to $40,000 in interest-free loans, qualification was based on the retrofits to make home more energy efficient (https://natural-resources.canada.ca/energy-efficiency/homes/canada-greener-homes-initiative/canada-greener-homes-loan/24286) and (https://natural-resources.canada.ca/energy-efficiency/homes/canada-greener-homes-initiative/canada-greener-homes-grant/canada-greener-homes-grant/how-the-grant-process-works/multi-unit-residential-buildings-murbs/multi-unit-residential) For the Future: - In the government's 2024 Budget they proposed a Secondary Suite Loan Program that would offer up to $40,000 in lower interest loans. (https://www.canada.ca/en/department-finance/news/2024/04/government-making-it-easier-for-homeowners-to-add-additional-suites-to-their-homes.html) - I believe this is supposed to be delivered through CMHC and is not yet accessible with few details outlining the requirements. Just me speculating but its possible that access to some of these funds would require the property to be leased at an "affordable rental rate," important to clarify before accepting any funds - There are also supposed to be federal funds passed through to provinces (pending agreement of terms) so keep an eye for what BC's government offers. If the fed and province don't come to an agreement they could go straight to municipalities.

Hey everyone! Listening to the CRI pod for a while now but new to Realist and 1st post! In the most recent episode of the show - 5 of the Most Important Changes in Canadian Real Estate https://thecanadianinvestorpodcast.com/podcast/the-canadian-real-estate-investor/episode/5-of-the-most-important-changes-in-canadian-real-estate Dan and Nick touched on the gap in the mortgage market for good term loan options to payout a construction loan that was obtained to renovate the property. In an effort to avoid a construction loan altogether has anyone had experience with CMHC's Income Property program? From CMHC's website their guidelines for Income Properties (2-4 units) requires properties to be valued below $1MM, so likely markets outside the Golden Horseshoe for Ontario - Small Rental Loans (non-owner occupied) - https://www.cmhc-schl.gc.ca/professionals/project-funding-and-mortgage-financing/mortgage-loan-insurance/mortgage-loan-insurance-homeownership-programs/cmhc-income-property They mention advancing options but is the program similar to Purchase + Improvement offered for owner-occupied homes where they require - Your down payment to be 20% of the "As Complete" value and - Construction costs to be fronted by you and you get reimbursed after completion? Or has anyone considered the program and experienced other drawbacks which prevented a project from penciling Thanks in advance!
