Nick sits down with Frankie Porco and Brendan Farrow of Platform Insurance, a Toronto brokerage focused on insurance and bonding for developers and builders. Since CMHC added a bonding requirement to MLI Select, bonding has gone from a public infrastructure product to something almost every purpose built rental project needs. They explain what a bond actually is, the difference between a performance bond and a labour and material payment bond, and why the “50/50” requirement still means your full contract is covered. They also cover who needs it (some lenders now ask for it on projects as small as 7 units), what it takes to qualify, how vertically integrated builders get approved, and how subdivision bonds can free up cash you’d otherwise lock in letters of credit. The episode wraps with where the construction market is heading and why you need specialists on your power team, not generalists.

Ottawa says it’s extending the foreign buyer ban, but the law still ends it January 1. Nick and Dan go through Budget 2026 and sort what’s law from what’s only proposed. They cover the new 90% insured loan on triplexes and fourplexes (it’s 30 years and tests your income, not the building) and why you should build four units, not three, before Ontario’s HST deadline on March 31. They also get into how Canada’s new build carve out for foreign buyers copies Australia, the immigration timing risk, and what the budget means for rates. They run the numbers live, compare MLI Select to a fourplex, and give the budget a grade.

Land can make you rich while producing nothing, and that’s both the appeal and the danger. Nick and Dan look at why Toronto high density land is trading 37 per cent below its 2021 peak while Canadian farmland rose 9.3 per cent in 2025. They cover the six reasons people buy land and how Canada handed it out, from the 1805 Toronto Purchase to the Greenbelt reversal. They also explain the planning terms that cost investors fortunes, why land absorbs the hit when condo math breaks, and how professionals value and vet a parcel. They finish with their top five land plays today.

The Bank of Canada just raised rates for the first time since 2023, taking the overnight rate from 2.25% to 2.5%. The economy isn’t booming, so why now? Nick and Dan explain how oil and the Middle East conflict are pushing the Bank to act, and recap the full ride from the 2022 hikes to the 2024 cuts and a year of holds.
They also cover what economists predicted, why Australia, Europe and the UK are raising rates too, and the number that matters most: the Bank now sees 3.1% inflation in 2027.
Finally, they get into what it means for your mortgage: fixed vs variable, where prime is headed, and why variable borrowers should run their numbers at a higher rate before renewal.

The $2 Billion Heat Pump: Who Actually Gets Paid

Ottawa just put $2 billion on the table for the new National Heat Pump Rebate: up to $10,000 if you’re below median income, $2,000 for everyone else.
Nick and Dan go through the fine print. You get one rebate per person, not per property, and the $1,400 savings claim covers oil and baseboard homes, not gas. Then they run the real Toronto numbers. With the carbon charge gone, a heat pump costs more to run than a gas furnace, so for most Ontario homes it only makes sense when the furnace and AC need replacing at the same time.
They also cover cold weather performance, the panel upgrade that surprises homeowners, and Ontario’s rebate rules for rentals. For investors, they explain how energy upgrades earn MLI Select points, and why going from 50 to 100 points on a $5M build can save about $60,000 in premium.

Montreal was building gentle density a century before anyone called it “missing middle.” Nick and Dan go back to the Lachine Canal factory boom and a 10 foot setback rule that pushed staircases outside and gave the city its look. They get into the original house hack (owner downstairs, tenants upstairs), why all of Quebec moves on July 1, and how Montreal became a majority renter city without a skyline full of towers.
Then the contrast: Toronto and Vancouver zoned this housing out of existence and are now spending billions to bring it back. The investor section covers Ontario’s unit rules, MLI Select’s five unit minimum, the federal Housing Design Catalogue and the Housing Accelerator Fund, plus what the plex still teaches anyone building small multifamily today.

On October 8, Alberta ordered Edmonton to undo its zoning bylaw within three months. That means density and height go back to pre 2024 rules and parking minimums come back. Calgary, which already repealed its citywide rezoning, was told to hold where it is. Nick and Dan cover what actually changed in each city and why it matters after record housing starts in both. They also get into who’s for it, who’s against it, and what small scale infill builders should do differently from here.

“Real estate always goes up.” “Renting is throwing money away.” “You need 20% down.” Nick and Dan take ten myths Canadians repeat at the dinner table and check each one against 2026 data. Most of them used to be true. They held up in the falling rate, rising price world that ended in 2022, and now they’re expired truths that keep costing people money.
They cover why renting beats owning in most major markets, the national benchmark sitting 21% below its 2022 peak, the collapse of GTA preconstruction, and why four out of five Toronto condo investors lose money every month. They also get into the myths around fixed vs. variable rates, the foreign buyer ban, the Bank of Mom and Dad, and trying to time the market. The takeaway: run the numbers on the deal you’re actually looking at.

On September 23, StatCan revised its population count and added 301,008 people. Two of the three "decline" quarters became growth. Most of the people it found were temporary residents still in the country on pending permit extensions. Nick and Dan explain how the old count missed them, what changed in the method, and whether this weakens the bear case for housing. Growth is still the slowest since 1915, rents are soft, and more departures are likely coming. The revision changes why the numbers looked the way they did, not the market we've been living in.

Most Canadian real estate partnerships run on a handshake and good vibes. Nick and Dan break down how to do it properly. They cover five ways to structure a deal: co-ownership, general partnership, limited partnership, corporation, or skipping equity and lending instead. They explain how to pay the operator fairly with fees, a preferred return and a promote, and why your partnership agreement means nothing to your lender. They show how the right partner fills gaps in a CMHC application. And they walk through how partnerships actually fall apart: capital calls nobody can fund, plus death, divorce, disability and bankruptcy.

Mississauga and Oakville just froze new data centres. Saskatchewan rolled out the red carpet for a Bell campus near Regina worth over $50 billion. Nick and Daniel break down what these buildings are, why each province is handling them so differently, and why two out of three Canadians don't want one near their home. They take on the viral water claims and explain how the money works: tenants reserve power and pay whether they use it or not. Then they each say whether they'd invest. Plus the October 27 date that could decide whether the GTA fringe becomes a market or stays frozen.

CREA August is out and every province sold fewer homes than a year ago. Oil topped $108, which pushes fixed mortgage rates up. Carney's summit pledges and the new Mega Deduction won't lower anyone's mortgage. Sales are stuck and buyers are gaining leverage, so watch your local numbers, not the national average.

GET TICKETS TO CANADA'S #1 MULTIPLEX EVENT: https://realist.ca/community/events/unpacking-multiplexes-toronto
Most Canadians think their home is an investment.
And honestly, the data says they are not crazy.
Homeowners are dramatically wealthier than renters. In Canada, StatCan showed homeowner net worth rising from about $324,000 in 1999 to about $685,000 in 2019, while renter net worth went from about $15,000 to $24,000. CMHC research says homeowners are roughly seven times wealthier than renters, and their homes represent about half of their net wealth.
So yes, homeownership has created an enormous amount of household wealth.
But Robert Kiyosaki also had a point when he said your house is not an asset if it takes money out of your pocket every month.
Because a primary residence can make you rich on paper while making you cash-flow poor in real life.
That is the episode today.
Is your home actually an investment, or is it a liability with good branding?

GET TICKETS TO CANADA'S #1 MULTIPLEX EVENT: https://realist.ca/community/events/unpacking-multiplexes-toronto
On the Canadian Real Estate Investor podcast, Daniel welcomes Hooman from Alliance REIT (https://www.alliancereit.com/) to discuss his path from Bay Street lawyer to multiplex developer and operator, and how Alliance built an evergreen, non-exchange-listed REIT focused on Toronto’s missing-middle housing.They cover shifting CMHC underwriting and how first-time developers can struggle to secure MLI Select financing, plus potential partnerships where Alliance’s experience and conservative underwriting could help.
Hooman explains REIT liquidity, RRSP/TFSA eligibility, and the complexity of capital planning for redemptions, and shares operational realities: flat post-development appraisals on recent projects, rising turnover due to incentives in new purpose-built rentals, cheaper condo rentals, and more renters buying homes. He details cost-control tactics, tenant retention, and neighbor relations strategies, and outlines why authentic, vibrant neighborhoods and “would I live here?” location tests matter again.

Part 2 picks up at 2008. Canada dodges the financial crisis, decides it's bulletproof, and spends a decade building brakes (four Flaherty tightenings, foreign buyer taxes, two stress tests) all pointed at demand, while barely touching supply. Then free money in 2020, the February 2022 peak, and the fastest hiking cycle in Bank of Canada history.
The payoff to the 1981 cliffhanger: CMHC's MLI Select in 2022 finally makes purpose built rental pencil again after 41 years, and rental is now about 58% of new construction. Meanwhile 2024 quietly undoes Flaherty with 30 year amortizations and a $1.5M insured cap, and population growth slams into reverse.
Where we are now: benchmark around $666K, down 3.3% year over year, roughly 21% off peak, policy rate 2.25%, and building at half the 500,000 starts target.
Five takeaways, one thesis. Nothing here was weather. Somebody signed something.

Canada has never had a housing market, it has a housing policy, and the market is what happens downstream. Part 1 traces 100 years of deliberate decisions: 50% down mortgages that detonated in the Depression, CMHC inventing leverage in 1954, the 1972 tax exemption that made your house the best shelter you can own, and the two supply engines we switched off (MURB in '81, social housing in '93) while turning every demand dial to eleven, ending at zero down and 40-year amortizations in 2006.
Also: 21% rates, Toronto's 1989 crash and 13-year recovery, and the map moving from Montreal to Toronto to Vancouver.
Part 2 coming.

After designing for global firms like Foster + Partners and Richard Meier, Noam now helps regular people turn single lots into fourplexes, sixplexes, and garden suites. We get into his own project, the numbers behind MLI Select and the HST rebate, the rise of the "citizen developer," and how to actually make these deals pencil.

Four years after the 2022 peak, the first real signs of a floor are showing up, national sales are up 7% from the March low, inventory is tightening, and single-family completions in Ontario just hit their lowest level since 1990. But economists have been burned by three false starts already, and nobody wants to say the b-word out loud.
Meanwhile, over 13,000 Canadians filed for insolvency in June, up 11.5% year over year and running near 2009 levels. So which is it? Dan and Nick dig into whether this is a real bottom or a supply collapse dressed up as a recovery... and what it means if you're deciding whether to buy today.

They work on the owner's side, no equity in the project, running feasibility, cost planning and project delivery on everything from Senakw in Vancouver to the BMO Centre expansion in Calgary. We get into Edmonton's constantly shifting infill rules, whether an eight-plex still pencils, how the same building prices out across five markets, and where construction costs sit today versus 2023.

A complete breakdown of the Altus Group 2026 Canadian Cost Guide: $573 billion in active projects across 6,652 sites, with the real-world context investors and developers need. With presale prices down 13% from peak and a record 7,243 condo units cancelled in 2025, the feasibility math is under serious pressure. The episode also covers the $343 billion public infrastructure pipeline competing for the same labour and materials, a construction workforce that needs 85,000 additional workers by 2032, and tariff volatility that the cost guide explicitly doesn't account for. City-by-city comparisons across Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto, Montreal, Halifax, and more.

If you bought a Canadian condo near the peak of the market, you may now be underwater, or losing money every month just to keep it. In this episode, Daniel and Nick tackle one of the hardest decisions facing Canadian homeowners and real estate investors: should you hold on, rent the property out, or sell at a loss? They examine real examples from the GTA, pre-construction deals, power-of-sale transactions and struggling flips before laying out a practical framework for making the decision without letting fear, ego or sunk costs take over.
You’ll learn:
• The difference between a forced seller and a scared seller
• Why your monthly “bleed rate” matters more than the paper loss
• How to calculate the true cost of continuing to hold
• Alternatives to selling, including refinancing, renting and adding units
• The legal risks of walking away from a pre-construction purchase
• Why Canadian mortgages generally don’t allow you to simply walk away
• How taxes and capital losses may affect the decision
• Warning signs that negative cash flow is damaging your personal finances
• The one question every underwater investor should ask: “Would I buy this property today?”
Selling at a loss doesn’t automatically mean you failed. Sometimes protecting your credit, liquidity and ability to invest again is the smartest move you can make.Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) | BMO Global Asset Management

Nick & Dan are joined by Jacob Cohen, President of Daniels Corp. for a field report from inside a GTA development company. Why an activity slowdown worries developers more than falling prices, which input broke first: land, construction costs, rates, or sales velocity, and what still makes sense to build when almost nothing pencils.
With starts near zero since 2023, the completions that should land in 2027–2029 aren't coming. Jake walks through the math, the industry's sudden rush into purpose-built rental after 30 years of ignoring it, whether the investor-driven condo model is paused or finished, and what he'd tell an investor weighing pre-construction today.
