This 1935 duplex, while not in extreme disrepair at the time of purchase, required upgrades to unlock its full profitability potential. When acquired, the main unit was already occupied, while the upper unit was vacant, providing the perfect opportunity for renovation. The vacant unit was revitalized with a modern kitchen and bathroom while preserving the timeless charm of the original architecture. The result is a unique, upgraded apartment that beautifully blends modern functionality with vintage character, making it both attractive to tenants and highly profitable.

This 1992 bungalow, located in a desirable neighborhood, was initially in a distressed state, featuring strong odors, an unfinished basement cluttered with junk, and significant wear and tear. Through a complete transformation, the property was converted into two income-generating units: a three-bedroom upper-level unit and a two-bedroom basement apartment. This renovation maximized its potential and increased its value while revitalizing the property into a thriving rental asset.

This single-family home was purchased with a vision to maximize its potential by adding a basement apartment and planning for future expansion with a coach house or tiny home. The spacious backyard provides the perfect setting for a third unit, making it an ideal site for future development. The renderings highlight how the apartment can be marketed and rented prior to the completion of renovations.

Recognizing that older homes often lack proper soundproofing, we addressed this issue during the renovation to enhance comfort and privacy. Additionally, the existing three-bedroom apartment was transformed into a spacious five-bedroom unit by finishing the basement. The result is a versatile living space, perfectly suited for multigenerational families, offering both functionality and modern upgrades.

Our client reached out to us for ADU consulting services with the goal of generating income from the basement of their beautiful century home in Ottawa’s vibrant Glebe neighbourhood. We guided them through the permitting process and connected them with a trusted contractor from our network, who transformed the unfinished basement into a spacious 2-bedroom apartment. The fully equipped unit features a private walkout entrance, a stylish and functional kitchen, a 4-piece bathroom with heated tile floors, in-suite laundry, ample closet and storage space, and a sleek, modern trim package.

Milestone Living proudly owns two properties in Playa del Coco, Costa Rica. In 2023, while attending the "Invest in Pura Vida" real estate conference, we recognized the vast potential of investing in Costa Rica. Partnering with an experienced local real estate agent, we quickly found two exceptional properties ideal for short-term rentals and personal vacations. One of the properties required renovations to become rental-ready, and we oversaw the updates to ensure it met our high standards. To streamline operations and maximize ROI while managing from abroad, we entrusted the properties to a professional property manager, providing us with peace of mind and confidence in our investment.
