The Challenge of Financing Your Backyard Home

As housing costs rise and urban spaces become more constrained, many homeowners are looking for creative ways to maximize their properties. Whether you want to generate rental income, create additional living space for your family, or invest in a sustainable housing solution, building a backyard home can be an excellent option. 

However, financing such a project can be complex, requiring homeowners to navigate construction costs, zoning regulations, and loan options.

One of the biggest hurdles is securing the right lender. Unlike traditional home purchases, backyard homes and garden suites often involve construction financing, which comes with unique requirements. Many homeowners are unsure where to start or how to structure their financing to make their project feasible. That’s where Resimate’s partnership with RBC Construction Mortgages comes in—offering tailored financial solutions to turn your backyard home vision into reality.

Expand Your Property with the Multi-Units Program

Resimate’s experts are here to guide you through RBC’s Construction Mortgage Multi-Units Program, which helps homeowners add up to five new housing units to their property. This program opens up opportunities like:

  • Rental Income Generation: Build garden suites or duplexes to boost your income.
  • Multigenerational Living: Provide independent living spaces for aging parents or adult children.
  • Innovative Housing Options: From modular homes to laneway homes, explore flexible solutions tailored to your needs.

Eligible projects include conversions to duplexes or triplexes, standalone structures like garden suites, and permanently fixed modular homes.

Build Your Dream Home with Confidence

With an RBC Construction Mortgage, financing your dream home is straightforward. Resimate’s team of experts will ensure you have the support you need to:

  • Combine lot purchase and construction costs in one simple financing solution.
