The house that pays you back

A legally-conforming duplex rebuilt with ~$400,000 of renovation: a full secondary dwelling unit and a rebuilt main level, with city permits and occupancy certificate on file — plus a top-to-bottom refresh of the lower suite in 2026 (new drywall, flooring, paint). Both suites are currently tenanted ($2,950 + $1,500/month, $53.4K/year), professionally managed, with complete records. Buy it as a turnkey investment — or move into either suite and let the other one work for you.

Two ways to own it

Live here (the house-hack)

  • Move into either suite; the other pays $1,500–2,950/month toward your mortgage.
  • Five minutes to the General Campus & CHEO — walk or bike to shift, never fight the Queensway.
  • Canterbury school catchment, Grasshopper Hill & Kilborn parks, Billings Bridge shops and transit.
  • A suite for a resident's family, a locum, in-laws — or pure income.

Own it as an investment

  • Turnkey and tenanted: $4,450/month from two signed leases, rent flowing from day one.
  • Lower suite newly leased below the ~$1,900 area market — built-in upside on turnover.
  • Professionally managed by Peartree Group (peartreegroup.ca) — a buyer may keep the management, zero transition.
  • Full data room for serious buyers: leases, operating statements, tax & water bills, permits, renovation file.

The house-hack, in three numbers

House-hacking, explained: your first home can pay its own mortgage Live in the lower suite and rent the main - about half the cost Own a 1M-plus home for about 1,550 dollars a month after rent
≈ $1,550/moyour real cost after rent

The honest math: at a $1.05M purchase with 20% down (~5%, 30-year), the mortgage runs about $4,500/month — and the main suite's $2,950 rent covers roughly two-thirds of it. You own a renovated Alta Vista home for less than the rent on a downtown one-bedroom, while building equity in a property with two incomes behind it. (Illustrative only — verify with your mortgage advisor.)
