That's the thing the wife and I are flip flopping around with. Buying a detached home with potential of having a suite or buying a place with finished basement without at a suite.

breaking it down with pros and cons of each.

the house we are looking at is massive square footage with big back yard and upscale finishes throughout. Finished basement which is hard to find in Kelowna brand new. Downside doesn't have a suite for mortgage helper.

Other places we looked at not as nice and no real back yard well not as big as the one without a suite in the basement. Unfinished basement and overall not as nice of a house. Price range for both places close to the same with us finishing the basement.

What I'm flopping around with is that do we go with a place with unfinished basement with we turn into a mortgage helper or do we go with the house that has finished basement already and no suite but overall is way nicer then anything we have seen so far.

The thing I am not to keen on is finding a renter or using it as an BnB to people we don't know. With people living below us I am not really excited about that kind of like living in a townhome again but getting income from them lol.
