Inside the home
This four-unit income property sits on a double lot a short walk from the Brantford downtown core, with enough paved parking on-site to keep all four units practical for tenants. The building is fully tenanted and generating income on day one. Two of the four units have been renovated in recent years — the upper and attic-level suites have new kitchens with white shaker cabinets and stainless appliances, updated bathrooms with glass showers, and fresh flooring throughout. The attic unit in particular has vaulted ceilings and good natural light. The ground-floor and basement units are functional but in their older condition, which is where the value-add story lives. The lot size is the other major factor here. The grassed area beside and behind the building is substantial for an urban property this close to downtown — worth understanding zoning and development potential before writing an offer.
