Plus we dive deep into navigating a couple of challenging situation.   A fun and engaging story of the transformation of a Hamilton property.   There are several reasons why you may consider duplexing a property in Hamilton:   Additional rental income: Converting a property into a duplex can provide an additional stream of rental income. This can help offset the cost of the mortgage and provide a positive cash flow. High demand for rental units: Hamilton has a strong demand for rental units, especially in certain areas like near universities and hospitals. This means that there is a good chance that you will be able to find tenants for your newly converted duplex. Increasing property value: Duplex conversions can increase the value of a property, especially in areas where demand for rental units is high. This can be beneficial if you plan on selling the property in the future. Flexibility: Converting a property into a duplex can provide flexibility in terms of living arrangements. For example, you could live in one unit and rent out the other to help with the mortgage, or you could rent out both units and use the rental income to invest in other properties or for other financial goals. Opportunity for renovation and upgrades: Duplex conversions often involve renovating and upgrading the property, which can increase the overall value of the property and make it more attractive to tenants and potential buyers.   Overall, duplexing a property in Hamilton, can be a smart investment decision if you are looking for additional rental income, flexibility, and the potential for property value appreciation. However, it's important to carefully consider the costs and requirements of the conversion process before making a final decision.   =====
