A genuine multi-family property in a family-oriented suburb like Willowgrove is usually a legal secondary suite added after construction, and its value depends heavily on whether that suite was ever permitted, which public records and online estimates cannot answer on their own.
Joel budgets a $400 to $600 home inspection into any Willowgrove offer and factors in $800 to $1,500 in legal fees to close through a Saskatchewan lawyer, and he checks the suite's status with the city before the income becomes part of the pitch.
That confirmation is what lets a Willowgrove multi-family seller price the suite income with confidence instead of hoping a buyer's lender does not ask.
