Site Selection for Investment Properties

• Size of land, location, and permitted uses

• Applicable zoning by-laws for the subject property

• Site features to work around such as trees, steep slopes, shared driveways, right-of-ways or easements

• External authorities governing the lot such as TRCA, RNFP, TTC, Metrolinx, etc.

• Proximity to public transit, shopping and services

• For adding laneway or garden suites, the distance to the nearest fire hydrant and firefighting access path determine the feasibility of adding a suite

Choosing the Right Property Type for Rental Income

• Wider lots can have the feasibility to sever them into 2 or more lots

• Longer lots can accommodate a laneway or garden suite in the backyard

• Multiplex configurations from 2 to 6 units and height potential to 3 storeys tall

• Unit layouts can be one per floor, back-to-back, stacked, etc.
