INCOME SUITES

BUILD YOUR SUITE LIFE

The basement in a new build home can be full of potential to help you invest in your future by letting your home work for you. At Sterling, the majority of our floorplans offer one and two bedroom suite options, allowing homeowners to rent their basement as its own unit and offset mortgage expenses with rental income. Also, customers may qualify for additional mortgage funds based on the rental income as listed below.

The trend of suites and co-sharing enable you to make homeownership possible sooner than later and let’s your home make money for you. Better yet, looking to make a move into the investment market? Basement suites enable you to make rental income from every level of the home.

Our suites fit into all shapes and sizes of our homes, with options available in our laned, duplex and front attached garage homes.  Suites include modern finishes and functional spacious layouts.
