Basic
Finishing Package: Our Basic Finishing
Package is designed to save money while
ensuring that the important items meet Ontario Building Code
standards.
This includes the "hardcore" work, such as electrical
wiring, framing, plumbing, drywall, etc.
It is an ideal package for "do-it-yourselfers" who prefer to
do their own flooring, painting, and other finishing
touches while keeping costs down.

Underpinning:
(lowering the basement floor) If your
basement ceiling is too low for legal or
comfortable living
space, The Renovation Co-op will provide
a licensed contractor who specializes in the
underpinning of foundation walls.
Underpinning
involves the step-by-step downward extension of
the foundation, which increases overhead living
space. For further details, go to http://www.werenovate.com/underpinning.htm |

Basement
Kitchens: We
offer economical, space-saving apartment-sized
kitchens that are targeted specifically for
small basement areas. As basements tend to be
tight for space, we'll install corner cabinets,
dual butterfly-sinks, rotating circular corner
shelves and other smart components that make the
kitchen functional yet easy on the
pocketbook. |

such as pedestal sink & taps or standard
vanity with molded sink & taps, tub or

toilet, tile or linoleum flooring. Ceramic tile
on the walls (outside of the tub or shower area)
is generally optional.

Financing
your Basement Apartment: By
financing your Basement Apartment Conversion through The
Canadian Renovation Funding Program, you will have access to
specialized equity-based loans,
even if you have poor credit or
limited current income.
The program offers access to over $1 Billion in private mortgage
funds through dozens of multiple investment pools across the
country. Each investment group is governed by its own level of
risk-taking, which
enables you to be better matched to a lender that is more compatible
with your own credit standing.
In addition, a CMHC Purchase-Plus Improvements Mortgage is
available
for qualified homeowners and home buyers. This type of
mortgage takes
into consideration the future value of the home
with the renovations completed.
For further information regarding The
Canadian Renovation Funding Program,
please visit www.PurchasePlus.ca/pp.htm
or call
416-367-8370
To illustrate the value of financing your Basement Rental
Conversion,
here are some sample numbers:
|
Monthly
Financing Payment |
Monthly
Rental Income |
Monthly
Net Income |
Total
Annual Net Income |
|
|
|
|
|
|
$250-$400 |
$750-$1500 |
$500-$1100 |
$6,000-$13,200 |
|
|
|
|
|
The variance in
the numbers above reflect the differences in the cost of the
conversion, your own personal credit (which will determine the
borrowing
rate, etc.), your home's proximity to public
transportation, and other factors that will dictate acceptable rental fees.
In
addition:
If
you live in your home for 10 years or more, and are able to
invest your net monthly rental income into a strong mutual fund
that yields an average annual growth rate of 8-10%, the
long-term profit derived from your basement rental income will
likely outpace the growth rate of your entire home's value over
the same period.
