This house generates substantial revenue with or without the B & B and vacation rental operations and has adequate space in the main living area for a family, who wish to live in Point Grey and have mortgage help from the suites. The suites can instead be rented on a longer term basis and when this was done most recently the rent for the top level was $1800 and $1200 for the Garden Suite per month, compared with the even more substantial weekly vacation rental and B & B rates.
