As you engage with homeowners considering the purchase of an ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) from FlexoBuild, it's important to inform them about a valuable rebate opportunity they may qualify for.
If the homeowner is building an ADU for their own use as a primary residence, or for the primary residence of an immediate family member—such as a parent, child, sibling, or even an ex-spouse - (there's an idea!) they may be eligible for the HST New Housing Rebate. This rebate is typically up to $16,080 but can be higher depending on specific circumstances.
The homeowner can apply for this rebate once construction is complete, and either they or their family member has moved into the ADU. Please note that there is a two-year window to apply, starting from the move-in date. If the application is submitted after the two-year period, the rebate will be disallowed.
For example, if the total construction cost is $275,000, the rebate amount would be approximately $18,900.
Please ensure that homeowners are aware of this rebate so they can take full advantage of the financial benefits available to them when building an ADU with FlexoBuild.
For help and assistance and clarification on this matter please contact Rami Miransky at HST Rebate Specialists https://www.hstrebatespecialists.com As always, if you need anything from us to help you in your FlexoBuild success, feel free to reach out to me directly!

Government of Canada Announces ADU Refinancing Shake Up
The Government of Canada, through the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC), has launched a new mortgage refinancing option to help homeowners add secondary suites, such as basement apartments or garden suites, to their properties.
This program allows eligible homeowners to borrow up to 90% of their property’s value, including the added value of the new suite, with a cap of $2 million.
Example
If your client's property is currently worth $1,000,000, they can borrow up to $900,000 (90% of the property value). After adding an ADU that increases the property’s value by $350,000, bringing the total property value to $1,350,000. The client would be able to borrow up to $1,215,000 (including all existing and new mortgages and loans). This gives the client an additional borrowing potential of $315,000 to help cover the costs of building the ADU. Speak to your clients and let them know about this big financing initiative.
