The Cash Damming Strategy Could Help You Pay Less Tax

Nick sits down with Josh Findlay, co-founder of BLD Financial, for a tactical deep-dive on financing Canadian real estate deals in today's market. They break down CMHC MLI Select (how the points work, why 95% isn't always 95%), compare CMHC construction financing vs. private-then-takeout strategies, and explore where bridge debt fits in. Josh explains why Edmonton remains one of the strongest MLI Select markets, the realities of underwriting in an elevated bond environment, and why young investors are racing to acquire assets. Practical advice for anyone scaling from small multifamily into mid-market development.

Construction Financing: CMHC on the Way In vs. Way Out

The most common question in Canadian real estate investing has one real answer: capital is everywhere... you just need to know where to look. Nick and Dan walk through 14 distinct capital sources, from conventional A-lenders, B-lenders, and credit unions to HELOCs, BRRRR, private lenders and MICs, mezzanine debt, joint ventures, VTBs, CMHC MLI Select, Build Canada Homes, and family/network capital. Every source gets honest pros and cons. A reference episode, bookmark it and come back to the segments that apply to your next deal.

Where To Find The Money To Get Real Estate Deals Done

CMHC's 2026 Mortgage Consumer Survey is out, and Dan and I dig into what the numbers actually say about Canadian homeownership right now.

The headlines: 35% of renewers felt financial pressure with payments up $375/month, but default concern dropped from 53% to 39%. 28% of first-time buyers needed a co-signer (54% leaned on parents). 23% got a down payment gift, median $30K. First-time buyers rented 7.6 years before buying. And 16% of researchers are now using AI in their mortgage journey.

The through line: stress isn't collapse, but adaptation isn't health. The Bank of Mom and Dad is now mortgage infrastructure, the path to homeownership is an endurance sport, and the trust layer in mortgage advice is fragmenting fast.

Canadian housing is stressed, adapting, and quietly being reshaped by family balance sheets and AI all at once.
