Today, the city of Ottawa finally bends to make 4 units (yes you can turn your home into a fourplex now)... a legal right of way! A right of way typically refers to a legal right granted to someone to pass through another's land for a specific purpose. In the context of single-family homes, a right of way might be necessary for various reasons, such as providing access to a property or allowing utilities to pass through. In this context thought the City of Ottawa will enact into the by-law that you can create up to 4 units on one parcel of land where most of Ottawa had been max. 2 units.

So I beg the question now, have you ever considered your home an investment? If you bought the home before 2020 why would you not convert it now to four units and become a landlord? Have you ever factored in the cost of land to originally acquire min. 4 units would have been well over 800k? The world of real estate will never been the same again in Ottawa you should reach out to me and explore all options going forward you may be sitting on a gold mine *for you or someone else to develop!

It's interesting to hear about the changes in Ottawa's zoning laws, allowing homeowners to convert their single-family homes into four units. This shift can indeed open up new possibilities for homeowners and potentially turn their properties into investment opportunities.

The decision to view one's home as an investment depends on various factors, including personal preferences, financial goals, and the local real estate market. Some people buy homes primarily for personal use and may not be interested in becoming landlords or managing rental properties. Others, especially those with an entrepreneurial mindset, might see the potential for additional income and appreciate the opportunity to capitalize on changes in zoning laws.

Factors such as the initial cost of the property, ongoing maintenance expenses, and the potential rental income all play a role in assessing whether converting a home into multiple units is a financially viable option. It's essential for homeowners to carefully evaluate these factors and consider their own comfort level with property management before making such a decision.

Your suggestion to explore all options and consider the potential benefits is valid, especially given the changing landscape in Ottawa's real estate. Homeowners should conduct thorough research and perhaps consult with real estate professionals to make informed decisions based on their individual circumstances and goals.
