Good to Know

Frequently asked questions

Don't see yours? Call us, we're happy to help.

Is it legal to run an Airbnb basement suite in Calgary?

Yes, with the right setup: a legal secondary suite, a City of Calgary short-term rental business licence and code-compliant construction. We build the suite to meet all of it.

What did the Skyview Ranch Airbnb basement include?

A full kitchen, spa-style bathroom, two furnished bedrooms, in-suite laundry and a private entrance, all built and registered as a legal secondary suite.

Airbnb or long-term rental, which earns more?

A well-located Calgary Airbnb suite can outearn long-term rent, but takes more management. We build suites that work for both so you can switch anytime.

Can I still use the $80,000 government loan?

The federal loan program is designed around long-term rental suites. We check your eligibility as part of your free consultation and handle the paperwork if you qualify.
