The simple answer is yes. Compare 2 options if you have $300,000.

Option 1 buy a bank stock and make 5%/yr Approx $1250/month

Option 2 build a carriage house and make rental income of $2200/month.

It’s the cheapest land available to you for building wealth. If you’re planning to build a carriage house, your going to be spending between $300k-$400k. You can’t invest that amount of money into another type of real estate and make a bigger return than by building a carriage house in your own back yard.

Construction phase pays for itself
Spend $400k and build up to 1100sqft =$363/sqft
Real estate zoned for carriage selling between $400-$460/sqft

Rental income
2bedroom $2300 average/month = $27600 = 6.9% return per year on $400,000 investment

The simple answer is yes. The waterline will need to be upgraded to 25mm, the sewer line would most likely be exposed during the process so why wouldn’t you want it replaced if it hasn’t been updated in the past 20 years, the power to the lot will need to be 200amps for a main house and carriage house. The power would require a new duplex meter base. Gas is optional to a carriage house and usually doesn’t make sense.

A realistic budget is important but what DeGroot custom homes offers is a concept
agreement, so you know exactly where you stand before the permit process starts. There is a lot to consider such as utility upgrades, development cost charges, soft costs such as insurance, interest, and the actual cost to build.

Time is very important to consider when building. A realistic timeline once construction begins is 6-8 months. To obtain a permit including design can take up to 2 additional months.

First you must decide if your building the carriage house for rental purposes or for yourself to move into and live on the same property. If you want a comfortable rental 820sqft is an optimal size to get 2 bedrooms, 1 storage/mechanical rooms,1 bathroom, and a living area with kitchen and living room. If you want the house for yourself then going for the max square footage would make more sense so you can have an ensuite and attached garage.

Every carriage house application must show how the property conforms to the future parking requirements. If you can park on your front street that is great but typically not part of the future city plans. The city will require a specific number of parking spaces included on the
site plan that are available from the alley.

Don't Take Our Word For It

Degroot Custom Homes are rebuilding our Home and carriage home after the total loss in the wildfires. With all the stress and anxiety of rebuilding, Tim has helped us feel at ease, answered all our questions, and is very knowledgable. Tim and his crew have been punctual, hardworking, respectful and thorough. We look forward to having our new home.

We have used Degroot homes for 3 projects that were tricky renovations due to structure and timing etc and Tim was on the ball when it came to getting it done properly and efficiently. Tim is mild mannered and great to work with. Our latest property we have to tell people it is a renovation. We have appreciated Tims can do attitude. We would recommend him for a new build or a renovation big or small.
Sean UpshawClient
I was consulted and given options throughout the various stages of the build. He was patient with all my questions and would give me recommendations, solutions or options. A great indicator is all the trades spoke highly of Tim when he was not around. When he was on site he would work hard, check other's work, give someone a talking to for being too messy...etc. His attention to detail and positive reputation with others gave me confidence in the quality of his work and the product I would receive. I would recommend Tim as a builder.

Awesome experience with Degroot Custom Homes. On time. On budget. And pleasant. We pushed Tim and his team to build an energy efficient home. He did the research and figured out how to make it happen. We achieved Step 5 on the new building code which is a net zero home. Tim is a pleasure to work with. Couldn't be happier to recommend Degroot.
Andrew GreerClient
Tim built my carriage home in the backyard of our place and it was built on time and on budget. If you know anything about construction you know how rare that is. Couldn't have been happier, great quality and value.
