Newer does not mean simpler to finance. A property you will not live in still needs 20 percent down, and a lender counts rent only from a signed lease, so confirm the actual numbers rather than assuming new construction sells itself.
Check the secondary suite file even on a newer build. The City of Saskatoon requires a permit before that unit's rent counts toward financing, and a newer home with an unpermitted basement conversion carries the same risk as an older one, just with less excuse for it.
A home inspection, typically $400 to $600, still matters on new construction, since builder-grade finishes and a rushed occupancy can hide issues a walk-through will not catch. Get your hand-reviewed valuation from Joel Dyck.
