Become a Rental Host in Saskatchewan with an RTM Home

Aug 1, 2024 | Blog, Modular Homes

If you own a farm in Saskatchewan, tap into the agrotourism market by becoming a rental host! As it becomes increasingly difficult to make a living solely from farming, adding a guest house to your property is a great way to maintain your land as your primary source of income. Purchasing an RTM home for your rental is a simple and cost-effective way to provide comfortable accommodations for tourists and boost your revenue.

At Blue Hills Construction, we provide high-quality RTM Homes in Saskatchewan and Alberta to farmers, ranchers, and prairie landowners. Below, we’ll discuss the benefits of using an RTM home as a guest house and why Blue Hills is the best choice for expert RTM construction. Keep reading to learn more! 

What Is an RTM House?

RTM, or Ready-to-Move, houses are built on construction sites in one solid piece and then moved from the site to the homeowner’s property. They’re very similar to modular homes but are built much stronger to ensure they stay intact throughout transport. At Blue Hills, homeowners can choose from three main RTM styles. They only take a few short months to build and send off, allowing you to start rental hosting in no time! 

Benefits of Using an RTM House for Rental Hosting

Setting up a guest house for AirBnB or as an independent bed & breakfast venture is a fun and exciting way to make extra money from your farmland. As a host, you can offer tours of your farm operations, allow guests to feed or pet your animals, and provide a quiet, peaceful retreat in the Saskatchewan prairies. 

Using an RTM house over an on-site build for hosting offers several benefits, from lower costs to a quicker jump start on operations. Let’s go over these benefits below!

Cost-effective 

Adding an extra house to your property doesn’t have to cost the world. Opting for an on-site build can result in unexpected costs and delays, severely inflating your budget. An RTM home can be acquired at a much lower price than a traditional build without sacrificing comfort and quality. For a low-scale endeavour like rental hosting, choosing a simple and cost-effective build is both a time saver and a financially sound choice. 

Customizable

At Blue Hills, we offer three main floor plans and layouts for our RTM homes that customers can choose from. However, if our standard models don’t quite fit what you’re looking for, you can work with our design team to customize your home to your preferences! If you have a specific feature you want to include for your guests, our team at Blue Hills can make it happen.

Quick Set-Up

With an RTM house, you can start your rental operations in no time! Depending on the customizations and layout, these homes take around 3-6 months to build and transport. With the right planning, you can have your rental up and running in less than a year!
