Inside the playbook
Learn how to read the property—and recognize the opportunity.
Julian will walk through the decisions behind buying and converting a duplex, using practical Ottawa examples to help you understand what can make a property work.

See Ottawa Examples
Explore real local conversion scenarios, including what worked, what changed and what Julian would do differently.
The two-unit advantage
A home can be more than somewhere you live.
A well-chosen duplex can create flexibility for different ownership goals—from rental income and mortgage support to multigenerational living and long-term portfolio growth.
- Explore how a second unit may help offset ownership costs.
- Understand the difference between buying an existing duplex and converting a property.
- Consider multiple paths: live in it, rent it, hold it or prepare it for resale.
