Going Bigger: The 8-Unit Conversion Blueprint
You've seen coach houses as an entry point. Now let's talk about the main event: the full 8-unit conversion.
This is where real wealth gets built—generating $50K-$70K+ annually in cash flow from a single property. Here's a complete project breakdown.
Why 8-10 Units Is The Sweet Spot
Under Bill 23, projects with fewer than 10 units are exempt from site plan control. That means no costly feasibility studies, no 1-3 year delays, and savings of $100K-$250K.
Stay under 12 units and you avoid all of that.
Real Project: Hintonburg Duplex to 8-Unit
The Property: Old duplex on 40' x 125' lot, generating $3,600/month
Purchase Price: $750K
Construction Cost: $1.7M
Total Investment: $2.45M
Timeline: 8 months from groundbreaking to occupancy
Completed appraisal: $3.2M
Equity created: $750K.
