duplex conversion to fourplex in Hamilton

[Maja D.]

Hi everyone, I put an offer on a legal duplex in Hamilton (just received a zoning verification certificate from city of Hamilton, confirming that the house is recognized as a 2 family dwelling, legally established non-conforming in zone C of Hamilton mountain area). This duplex has actually 4 separate units and 3 electrical meters, each unit has 2 separate entrances/exists. Previous owners apparently rented all 4 units and currently all units are vacant. It would be appreciated if someone can advise if it's possible to make this legal 4plex and from a legal perspective, what to expect if someone continues to rent all 4 units if it's recognized only as 2 family dwelling.

thanks

I lived in Hamilton for about 10 months now in London Ontario. Just curious what the rental market is like in Hamilton?

Are there opportunities for investment properties with value add opportunities?
