Financing on a non-owner-occupied property takes longer to arrange than a standard mortgage, since the lender wants a signed lease or a realistic rent estimate before counting any income toward your ratios, so start that conversation before you start viewing properties, not after you find one.
The home inspection and suite permit check are the two steps that most often extend the timeline. Confirming a secondary suite is permitted with the City of Saskatoon can take longer than the inspection itself, especially if the file needs to be requested rather than already in hand.
Once financing, inspection and the permit check clear, closing through a lawyer and Information Services Corporation runs on the same 2 to 4 week track as any residential sale. Get your hand-reviewed valuation from Joel Dyck.
