The Hardest Part Isn't Building — It's Finding the Right Deal

Most aspiring landlords have capital but no clear path from "I want to invest" to "here's a property that works." They spend months evaluating listings that don't pencil out, or overpay because they didn't understand the construction math. We fix that.

Why This Works

We build the buildings. Every deal we analyse that moves forward becomes a construction project for Helio. The analysis is our investment in qualifying the opportunity — for both of us.

Zoning analysis, maximum unit capacity, estimated construction cost (fixed-price quote), projected rental income, NOI, cash-on-cash returns, and CMHC financing eligibility. Enough to make a confident go/no-go decision.

No. The analysis is free and no-strings. If the deal works and you want to move forward, we'll give you a fixed-price construction quote. If not, you've lost nothing.

The site evaluation is for people who already own land and want to know what it can build. Deal analysis goes further — it evaluates the full investment from an investor's perspective: acquisition cost, construction, financing, and projected returns.
