Many Canadians are interested in owning an income property, or have already begun diversifying their investment portfolio through real estate. Also, those trying to get onto the property ladder, might view additional rental income as a way to help support a larger mortgage.  

A common option, in both cases, is to purchase a home with multiple units, whether that’s a secondary suite in the basement or a multi-plex. With this kind of property, you can either live in one unit while you rent out the rest, or enjoy the rental income from the entire building. The average monthly rental for a 1-Bedroom varies widely across Ontario with Toronto bringing in the most income per month.  However, there are a lot of opportunities outside the big city that present viable options for would-be landlords.  

If you’re interested in owning a home with multiple units, we’ve compiled 14 listings with income generation potential ranging from the mid $400s to $3 million in the provinces most desirable cities. 


Tip: Zoocasa’s home search offers filtering and segmentation tools that allow you to easily search for properties with a basement unit, or that are a duplex, triplex, or fourplex. Use these filters to find income properties available in your region.

Prospective buyers should conduct further research and pricing analysis for the homes and neighbourhoods that match their financial circumstances and lifestyle needs to guide their individual decisions. Regulations surrounding secondary suites will vary from region to region, and some of the properties featured may require additional retrofitting before they can legally be rented in your area.
