Unlock More Value with Secondary Suite Mortgages

At Equity Rich, we assist homeowners in achieving maximum property value by providing financing for legal secondary suites and additional dwelling units (ADUs). Our flexible mortgage suite options help homeowners build additional living space and create rental income opportunities for their properties.

What Is a Secondary Suite Mortgage?

A secondary suite mortgage serves homeowners who want to establish a legal secondary suite or additional dwelling unit (ADU) on their property. The financing supports both legal secondary suite conversions and new constructions. This type of mortgage is specifically designed to help homeowners in Ontario who want to add a rental unit to their property, whether it’s a basement apartment, a garden suite, or a laneway house.

We differ from traditional lenders because we use your home equity instead of your income or credit score to make decisions. The approval process happens quickly, and we offer high loan-to-value (LTV) options while providing continuous support throughout the process.

Benefits of a Secondary Suite Mortgage

  • Finance the construction or conversion of a secondary suite
  • Approval based on home equity, not income or credit
  • High loan-to-value (LTV) options available
  • Generate rental income to offset mortgage costs
  • Increase your property’s overall value
  • Fast approval and funding process

Who Can Apply?

Ontario homeowners with sufficient equity in their property who want to add a legal secondary suite or ADU. Whether you’re converting a basement or building a new unit, we can help finance the project.
