Do they want to keep living in their house that is an hour or more away from work? Or, do they want to own a HOUSE that is in the neighbourhood of their choosing? They wont know whats possible unless you tell them about it. And guess who wins? Your client wins because they get a HOUSE in a neighbourhood they choose. I win because I earn a mortgage commission. YOU WIN because you earn pos possibly sibly TWO COMMISSIONS from selling their current home and helping them buy their HOUSE with a Mortgage Helper suite. suite.

HOUSES with MORTGAGE HELPER SUITES Added Benefit to Buyers: Shorter Commute Save TIME & MONEY
When your client buys a HOUSE with a rental suite, they can afford to live closer to work. The shorter commute will save them TIME and MONEY. The example below illustrates the savings by moving from Cloverdale to Burnaby, reducing the clients commute from 33km to 6km. And this is just for one person imagine the savings if a two people in the family shorten their commute. In this example the commuter saves almost 2 hours per day in commuting time and almost $5,000 in vehicle expenses. If your clients still arent convinced of the benefits of owning a HOUSE with a rental suite, show them the commuting savings and they shouldnt need any more convincing.
