Adding Basement Apartment, Loft, Tiny House Changes Cap Rates

By adding extra elements to what is a standard executive home, you can change its value by a lot–from a capitalization rate of 3% pa to more than 7%.

That may not sound like a lot, but for a total home investment of  $704,900 it means big changes over time.

Here’s what happens over a 12-year period:

pp $704,900

cap rate 3% pa  yields $1,005,018.85

cap rate 7.6% pa  yields $1,705,210.97

mutual fund or bank savings plan or GIC 1.20% pa  yields $813,380.32

So if you put your money in a GIC at 1.2%, you’d only have $813k, 12 years from now. A standard executive home might yield just over $1m, but one with more revenue producing features could return a whopping $1.7m. That’s why real estate makes more sense than most of the alternative investment products out there IMHO.
