Make sure this investment is done right by keeping these factors in mind: 1. Check zoning laws and regulations Building codes differ depending on where you live, so before you start any planning take time to research your local by-laws for fire safety, layout, sound-proofing and other requirements. If you want to make it a rental property, keep in mind that many municipalities require that base- ment apartments have a private, separate entrance. 2. Decide on rooms and layout Do you want to build a studio, one bed room or two? There are a few things that will affect your decision. A studio will be easier and cheaper to build, but you'll be able to charge a higher rent if the unit has one or two bedrooms. Creating separate liv- ing and kitchen areas can also command a premium on the rental market or provide more convenience for your live-in guests.

Make smart flooring choices Carpet, LVT or laminate -- whatever mate- rial you choose, be sure to use a subfloor. Not just an add-on to basement renova- tions, a subfloor is the foundation to a properly built basement apartment. Help protect your flooring investment from mois- ture and insulate against the cold concrete with Dricore subfloors. These premium pan- els have been designed with Air Gap Tech- nology to help keep basement floors dry, comfortable and cozy throughout the year. 4. Consider some nice-to-haves While none of these are mandatory, many nice-to-haves make everyday living easier and more comfortable for both your fam- ily and whoever is living in your basement, whether it's an inlaw or a tenant. Individu- ally controlled heating and cooling mean no fighting over the indoor climate, and a sep- arate laundry room will allow everyone to have privacy and convenience. Think about not just what you need for right now, but what you may want down the line -- such as a dishwasher or shower. ; : Find more information at dricore.com. a 7 ele af Av \ 10051 Pineview Trail, Milton - $2,599,888 1500 1500 IIRI0L0 3 J 3 TR 1 8 1 Yh 823 [eA RL YH 2 1 & fo [RS1010)] NO HOME IS TOO BIG OR TOO SMALL FOR TEAM McDADI
