Buying a Show Home is a Smart Investment

Cantiro Homes offers a unique investment opportunity that gives you secure rental income while we lease your new home as a show home.

Contact the sales team at the show home for more details.

Why buy a Show Home?

We Pay You
We lease the home from you for the life of the show home including all utilities and maintenance.
Less Construction Nearby
Show homes are usually one of the first house to be built… so when you move in, the area is pretty much complete.
Professionally Designed & Decorated
Our professional design team has done all the work for you – reflecting the latest trends and making everything look just right.
Furniture Purchase Option
If you’ve fallen in love with the whole look and feel of the home, you have the option of buying the furniture too!
Flexible Possession Dates
We give you lots of advance notice of when the show home will be ready for possession.
Resale Value
When you are ready to sell, mentioning that your home was a show home in the listing usually means you get a better resale value over others.

Secondary/Basement Suites

A secondary suite (sometimes known as an in-law suite, garden suite or legal basement suite) is a separate dwelling located within a single-detached, semi-detached, or row house with its own living, cooking, and sleeping facilities.

A suite may be created through the development or conversion of a basement or other interior space within a house, accessed without passing through the principal (main) dwelling, such as through common interior space, or directly into the suite from outside.

The benefits of a secondary suite occur when it is rented out for additional income, helping to pay down the principle of the homeowner’s monthly mortgage payments.

Additional Rental Income—Secondary Suites can help you with your mortgage and financing. If the home you are looking to buy includes an income suite and you are able to arrange and provide a renter, lenders including the CMHC will actually include the future rent payments as income in calculating your debt servicing ratios. This makes qualifying for a mortgage easier and your home more affordable.
Build Equity Faster—When your home includes an income suite, you’re enjoying the benefit of a renter paying a portion of your mortgage. When the time comes to sell, you will have paid down more of your mortgage than you would have if you were living in the space alone.
Multi-Generational Living—Many families have parents and grandparents live with them. Secondary suites allow for multi-generational living space for extended family members while still having the option for privacy.
Sustainability—By using the space more efficiently, secondary suites allow more people to live on the same property—increasing population density and reducing urban sprawl.

At Cantiro Homes, we have a wide variety of models to choose from that allow for legal secondary or basement suites with separate side entry options in virtually every community that we build in.
