CMHC's purchase-plus program is a decades-old feature that allows insured homebuyers to add the future cost of renovations to their initial mortgage & purchase. Upfront quotes are required to determine scope of work.
Structured as a 5 year forgivable loan for homeowners willing to add affordable housing units to their home. Those who qualify can receive up to 50% of the cost of renovations (to a maximum of $40,000).
Now LIVE, this program is intended for larger suite renovations and detached builds of up to 4 units. As currently structured the total market value (including the improvements) cannot exceed $2,000,000.
In recent years all levels of government have incentivized suite creation through various tax credits, grants and rebates. We try to stay on top of the benefits so you don't have to.
This soon-to-be lending program promises low-cost loans of up to $80,000 for the purposes of building (or renovating) a secondary suite within a home. The early guidance describes a 15 year repayment period and an interest rate capped at 2%. More details to come.
