The Hidden Potential of Your Land

Many landowners across Western Canada are sitting on untapped gold mines. With the right approach, your property can become a reliable source of monthly income through strategic modular home placement.

Why Modular Homes Are Perfect for Land-Based Income

Unlike traditional construction, modular homes offer several key advantages for income generation:

  • Speed to Market: Generate income within 60-90 days instead of 12+ months
  • Lower Investment: Starting costs from $99,000 vs $300,000+ for traditional builds
  • Scalable: Add additional units as demand grows
  • Flexible: Easily relocate or repurpose units

Proven Income Strategies

1. Long-Term Rentals

Our Pine 1 and Pine 2 models are perfect for long-term tenants. With rental rates of $1,200-$1,800/month in rural areas, you can see positive cash flow from month one.

2. Short-Term Vacation Rentals

Strategic placement near recreational areas can yield $150-$300/night. Our customers report average monthly income of $3,000-$6,000 during peak seasons.

3. Workforce Housing

Industrial camps and remote work projects need housing. Provide accommodation at $80-$120/night per worker.
