The answer

Only after verifying that the intended use is currently permitted and practically supportable for the exact property. Check municipal and other applicable rules, licences, condo or HOA bylaws, lender and insurer treatment, tax and recordkeeping questions, occupancy and safety requirements, building access, parking, neighbours, management, platform and cleaning costs, seasonality, vacancy, furnishing, damage, and a lawful long-term-rental or resale fallback.

Do not capitalize an unverified nightly-rate estimate into the offer price.

Calgary-specific context

Calgary event, business, medical, university, airport, downtown, and seasonal demand can vary, while building and property restrictions may matter more than broad city demand.

What to do next

Underwrite the permitted base case first, then treat short-term income as a separately verified scenario with a dated rules review and conversion fallback.

Check rental income and whether the use is permitted.

Separate advertised rent from signed leases and lawful use. Verify suite records, occupancy, insurance, financing, expenses and tenancy obligations; test a vacancy and repair scenario before relying on projected cash flow.
