START WITH THE MONTHLY PICTURE

What could your
basement make room for?

Choose a bedroom option to explore the program income. Your assessment confirms the suitable layout and actual project price.

Which suite would you like to explore?

Both options use the same $150,000 financing illustration. Bedroom selection changes the rent assumption; it does not set a package price.

Adjust the financing illustration

6% is a planning example, not the prime rate or a lender offer. Monthly payments use Canadian semi-annual compounding. Your independent lender sets eligibility, rate, fees and repayment terms.

25 years $960/month30 years $892/month

At an unchanged 6% for 25 years, total repayments would be approximately $287,914, including $137,914 interest, before fees. Rates may change at renewal.

YOUR HOME. CLEAR ANSWERS.

Before you take
the next step.

What do I get from the free assessment?

We review your location, basement condition and goals, discuss a suitable one- or two-bedroom layout, explain the monthly income and cost illustration, and outline the next steps. Project suitability, service availability and the actual quote are confirmed for your home. The initial assessment is not an approved design or a financing approval.

What does the rent guarantee cover?

Eligible one-bedroom suites have agreed program rent of $1,800 per month; eligible two-bedroom suites have $2,000 per month. The ongoing guarantee requires our selected finishes and management through the program. Your written agreement sets payment commencement, duration, eligibility, exclusions and other conditions. You can choose self-management; the ongoing rent guarantee will not apply.

When does the 60-day completion guarantee start?

The construction period starts on the agreed written start date for your eligible, approved project. If we miss the agreed completion deadline, we pay the agreed rent under your written guarantee until completion. Your agreement confirms how approvals, access, timing and payments work before you commit.

Is the estimated financing payment the total cost?

No. The illustration uses $150,000 financed at 6% over 25 or 30 years, with Canadian semi-annual compounding and monthly payments. The independent lender sets your eligibility, actual rate, fees and repayment terms. Management is 8% of rent plus applicable tax. Other ownership costs, repairs, utilities, insurance and income tax are additional. The renovation scope and price are confirmed after assessment.

What does whole-home care include?

MAPZ Property Management coordinates tenant screening and placement, rent collection, communication, maintenance and owner reporting, with no separate leasing fee under the program. Walkthroughs, furnace and appliance checks, and preferred-contractor access extend to your owner-occupied upstairs. Repair labour, parts, replacements and third-party charges are additional under your management agreement.
