featured Projects
Student Rental Conversion
Purchased as a single-family home and transformed into a high-performing student rental. Added a third bathroom by converting a closet between two bedrooms, and fully furnished the home — from new beds and mattresses to kitchen essentials. Strategic upgrades and strong tenant management doubled cash flow within the first year.
Mix-Use Commercial Property
Acquired off-market and financed with a 75% Vendor Take-Back mortgage, this property underwent a full transformation — inside and out. The commercial façade was completely renovated, both storefronts were modernized, and the four-bedroom house behind the ice-cream shop was converted into two upscale one-bedroom apartments. Each unit features new kitchens and bathrooms, black granite sinks, stainless-steel appliances, heat-pump systems, heated mirrors, and in-suite laundry. The result: a stunning mixed-use asset with increased value, functionality, and long-term cash flow stability.
Six-Unit New Build (2022)
Completed in 2022, this purpose-built six-plex was designed for long-term stability and maximum efficiency. Featuring four main units, two ADUs, and two garages — each with separate meters — the property produces eight income streams and cash flows from day one. Strategically financed with residential terms and structured for a future CMHC MLI-Select refinance after two years, investors can recover their capital while maintaining strong positive cash flow and minimal maintenance needs.
